In similar puzzle games where you have to find hidden objects, zooming in is a pretty common-sense tip when it comes to looking for clues. But there’s more to finding these details in Dexter: Hidden Darkness. If you’re zoomed in on an object, other findable objects in the area will be highlighted in bold, thus simplifying the process of finding otherwise hard-to-find items.
The first thing you have to keep in mind when trying to earn stars is to see how many points are required for each game scene. Stars would be needed when trying to advance the game’s storyline by playing action scenes. The basic rule of thumb here is to check how many points you need to complete a level – go for the ones with lower point requirements.
If you’re moving from one scene to another, you should try your best to earn stars without having to expend all the energy you’ve got. And that would mean repeating a certain scene several times. This will make it easier for you to find objects and remember where they’re located, and if you find them quicker, you’ll get some generous bonuses as a reward.
While most hidden object games are particularly strict in penalizing players who tap randomly and frantically on their display to find an object quicker, that’s not really the case in Dexter: Hidden Darkness. If you’ve got a time limit to deal with, use this technique – tap on multiple places on your display, but don’t be too frantic in your motions, lest you get penalized by the game.
When looking for hidden objects, you may be asked to find one item in one location, then find that same item elsewhere in another scene. If that happens, the objects will look identical to each other – no rocket science there.
On occasion, you’ll win some free items and free in-game cash, and you’ll be notified of these freebies via the game’s mailbox. Be sure to regularly check your inbox, which you’ll find in the opening screen after opening the game. Many players tend to miss the mailbox, so look closely and always be on the lookout for free goodies!
