Playing EVERY "100 Hidden Objects" game was my personal HELL. So I ranked them.

[@WandererEris]

"We'll speed up these reviews so this video doesn't end up being an hour long, even though I know some of you would love that." Uh-huh... So, about that video length...

[@Graeldon]

It's less than hour long... before the bonus rounds XD

[@greatgamegal]

I adore the fact the video was like a minute off the time stamp shown there.

[@SpartanXVII]

I’m just going to take a guess, that there are a small but not insignificant number of people, for whom these games are their entire steam/gaming experience, or at least a lot of it. I’m thinking they probably just like to occasionally sign in, download a 100 object game after work or whatever, and switch their brain off while playing it for a little treat. This would explain why there are so many, since they’ve got a niche but profitable audience of people who wouldn’t traditionally be considered gamers otherwise, who reliably buy them, then knock them out in an afternoon.

[@Graeldon]

It must be interesting to live in the world of someone whose only gaming experience is these particular games.

[@CharemTheShadox]

the original creator of this "genre", anatoliy (aka the "100 hidden ____" guy) has the most quality imo, and was probably a godsend to you since they are around 15 min long and pretty cheap

(btw, I also runned another game from the 100 hidden frogs creator, called "CrocoMars". It's a short, free, top-down shooter, and a much more challenging game to run, but it's a cool game overall)

[@wpk914]

Not the hero we deserve, but the one we need. I'm pleasantly surprised there are only two of those AI titles so far, but I have to imagine more will fill up the store as time goes on

[@Graeldon]

Given that both have incredibly negative store ratings, hopefully that along with Steam's policies on AI content will deter most devs looking for a quick buck

[@sevendeadlysquids404]

I'm surprised by the amount of quality in some of these games. As someone familiar with this trend of 100 hidden cat games, I had always expected that a developer came along and started making these and then some other greedy developers came along and cashed in on an emerging trend with some awful, cheap knockoffs. Seems some genuine effort went into a decent bit of these and that 75% of the games you looked at you felt comfortable recommending (at least, to an extent). Great video, as always.

[@Graeldon]

Recommended in terms of games worth your time if this is a genre you enjoy or are interested in trying. As always with different game genres, your personal enjoyment may vary! But, I also agree, I was suprised by the effort that went into some of these games. I was expecting a bunch of repetitive cash grabs.

[@xPandamon]

Then there's Devcats, with genuinely high quality games of this sort that to me, are worth the money

[@CharemTheShadox]

That thing about how some of these games had 100 achievements when there was reason to have 101+ made me go 'Oh! 100 achievements must be a Steam-mandated limit.' Then I looked it up and it appears the actual limit is...5000 achievements?? Holy crap that's a lot still. But...so...that's not the reason. How very odd. Oh, and I look forward to you eventually hitting the 'A ____ Full of Cats' series. It'll be 100 Hidden Cats, part 2! I'm sure you're excited for it. (Unironically, I actually played An Arcade Full of Cats and it was...actually kinda cute. Had little cutscenes, a bit of a story.)

[@gimok2k5]

To be fair, with 100 hidden items, having 100 achievements means there is one per whatever is hidden. If these were one of those achievement-spam-games who only exist to give someone an ungodly amount of achievements in as little time as possible, it would go for full 5000 for just having the game running for a few minutes. And yes, those "games" exist.

[@CharemTheShadox]

@@gimok2k5 This is true for most of the games, but later in the video Graeldon also covered some '101 hidden objects' games that still only gave 100 achievements, meaning that one creature/thing in the set of 101 was being rejected from having an achievement for seemingly no reason. This is what my original comment was referring to as far as this just being weird.

[@DeviousHands]

​@@CharemTheShadoxcan't confirm this exactly, but the developer for HoloCure has a game with 162 achievements, only 84 of which got approved for Steam. Something to do with seeing the influx of people getting achievements all of a sudden and Steam seeing it as an "achievement farm", or general means of scamming their system. I wonder if the 101s are under similar restrictions, due to how quickly the achievements are gained? I can't know personally, I'm neither valve nor the devs, but I imagine they put in 101 achievements and Steam only accepted 100 for whatever reason

[@falpsdsqglthnsac]

he's going alphabetically, so "a __ full of cats" will be more spread out among the a's

[@TheGeladoo]

​@@falpsdsqglthnsac He covered these out of order too for the sake of making it all into one video, so he might do the same for those as well (if they ever manage to make it there to begin with, not only getting out of Number Zone but also getting far enough into A games)

[@Nalehw]

Commenting about 22 minutes in: Honestly, I was kind of expecting worse! Spamming Steam achievements is sketchy, but it's not like it's actually hurting anyone, and if a dev is otherwise well-intentioned then it's hard to fault them for playing to the achievement collector audience. It's so hard to find a reliable audience as an indie dev. (And you still have to actually _do something_ to get these achievements, so it's less sketchy than I've seen elsewhere.) Super expensive DLC is sketchy, but when it's transparently just a way to tip the dev and the actual game is free - and doesn't have FOMO mechanics or anything - then that's not really doing any harm either. (I assume Steam doesn't allow links to kofi/patreon/etc so this is their only real way to get tips.) And the cute art!!! 100 Cozy Games and Anatoliy Loginovskikh are clearly putting some real love into these drawings. If these were static images on an art site we'd have zero compunction about enjoying the expressive cat faces and the Where's Wally hunt. But here they've gone above and beyond and given us a way to interact with their cat doodles, so it's even better. As long as we're coming at it from that POV (instead of a, y'know, gamer POV) I think these are great! When you finally reach the clipart space one, and the AI generated slop, _that's_ what I was expecting this category to be all about.

[@Ganmue]

Honestly, I was NOT expecting this video to be this entertaining. But kudos to you, the whole video was actually very interesting and insightful. You gave really good commentary and advice for certain games and while I personally won't be developing anything in the same direction, a perspective into a different genre is absolutely useful. Thank you and great work!

[@Graeldon]

Glad you enjoyed it! Making this genre entertaining was tricky, but a fun challenge - much like a good game in this genre

[@milofranklin5386]

In some ways, inspiration/motivation/direction can come from anywhere. Even if you're not making a hidden object game, this does highlight the importance of a few things for general game design: - Strive for a readable environment. The more well received games on this list often had settings that weren't just random trash piled up to hide the objects, but rather those that created a cluttered and chaotic- yet still readable- play space. - Focus on clear objectives. If the player can't even be sure of what you want them to do, how will they be able to complete any levels/quests/tasks in your game? In this list, we can see the most direct example of the opposite of this being Anatolly's Hidden Cups game. - Also, we can learn lessons even from the bad games. Those AI-generated ones, while abysmal to look at (and I'm sure worse to actually play), do have clearer objectives than some other entries on the list. Too clear, as the game literally shows you exactly what you're looking for on the side. There is such a thing as too much hand holding.

[@Ganmue]

@@milofranklin5386 Fantastic observations! Thank you for clearly and precisely listing important examples of game design. I'll probably copy your list for our groups game design document. Thank you for the clarity

[@azazel831]

It's nice to see that some developers do still try and put some effort in some of these games. Despite being overall a pretty bottom of the barrel kinda style of game with little creativity. Also there's a special place in hell for people who put in so little darn effort in their games (Literally a form of art), as to use AI and such like this. Pathetic truly.

[@TheSilverInfinity]

the actual ai slop games even made me appreciate (however minimally) the first F tier game. As a mashup of clipart and photos run through a outline filter, it could still be considered a collage and took some human effort in picking and placing the images together. i almost felt bad that that had to be in the same tier as the ai trash.

I would love to know more about the history of these games. The first time I saw this concept on steam apart from old/classic hidden object games was "I commissioned some bees", which sounded like a cool idea and had great art. But what started this trend, and what is the creative process behind this. I'm pretty surprised there weren't a lot more AI generated games in this list.

[@AyaKho]

The trend of this type of game started just barely before Stable Diffusion and the like caught on. A standard and expectation was pretty much already set.

[@unattributed1641]

Well, my guess was close... I thought there wouod be five S-tier games. I'm also surprised by the number of A and B tier games (ie, there are more than I thought there would be). Oh, about the person who spent ten hkurs on one of the games... He may have a vision issue like me. I have a form of dyslexia that can make spatial relations a bit difficult at times. I feel pretty certain that many of these games would take 2x-3x longer to complete than you...

[@Graeldon]

That's a great point, some kind of impairment like that could explain the longer play time. They may also have left it idling by accident, or in order to get steam trading cards (I can't recall if that specific game had them, but some of the games featured in this video did)

Unless you get a PHD in anthropology, you're not allowed to appreciate different cultures Aka Calling this "culturally insensitive" is snowflake behavior

I have a certain feeling this is one of those game series only made for 2 things: - gambling with rare steam items - Achievement farming

[@Rzra]

Wow, how's your eyes? I swear just 3 of these just blinded me for a weekend. I'm gonna have that as my guess as well, 3 games that strained your eyes slightly less.

[@Graeldon]

I think I just glazed over at some point. I had to take regular breaks because I was constantly missing things that should've been super obvious.

[@kajakas_kulp]

Worst thing about 100 hidden animalnauts by far imo is that depending on your screen resolution you may be cut off from the sides and be stuck missing one achievement since the game can't be launched in windowed mode I've played pretty much every game in this series Anatoily has made, since they have a degree of variety and effort behind them that I can deeply appreciate. I avoid the 100 cozy games entries since their decision to make a banana-style clicker game didn't sit well with me (and, less importantly their HOGs are really boringly easy)

[@windy8544]

i think anatoly might have been the pioneer, his games seem to be much older than the recent 100 hidden socks in a laundry room flood

[@eugenekrabs141]

Oh my god no way you literally got EVERY ONE OF THEM. Way too many of those games, I feel so bad for you. Edit: I'm guessing at most 3 games are getting that S tier by the way.

[@crazyluigi6664]

That was my most optimistic guess for S tier, by the way!

[@krabparrot5724]

Almost guessed number of S-tiered, thought there would be three

[@crazyluigi6664]

Was honestly more pessimistic myself with the number. (It was around 0-2 myself.)

[@temmie5764]

not me having 6 of these games and 100%ed them all in less than an hour and never touched them again. The name, cats hidden in jingle jam was too good

[@RestlessThoughts]

How very weird! I've seen hidden object games before (obviously) but never ones quite like these xD The extent of my hidden object game experience was briefly playing them on Facebook. And there they at least had a slight story attached (like you're a crime scene investigator looking for clues!) and were in full color. It's kinda wild you played and beat them all. Congrats. What a crazy journey you're on :D

[@pandaman6769]

Dang! Definitely subscribing after this; I’ve seen a few videos of yours before but this is just a demonstration of your sheer commitment! Now: can you find 100 Hidden Supportive Comments?

[@Graeldon]

Thanks! I'm very lucky to have a super supportive community!

[@E_MO_TION]

This gives me a great idea for a game. "100 hidden shapes" it plays the same as all of these games, but I've just selected random shapes in the background which need to be found. Also, Waldo

[@thoopsy]

Finally got through this video. I call him Waldo! I have a friend who plays hidden object games sometimes, but usually the full color versions that... Inexplicably have plots? None of these seem to their taste... Thanks for doing all that, entertaining video!
