Absolute Evil
Absolute Evil is a casual hidden-object puzzle adventure game released for Windows PCs in 2014. The game was developed by MysteryTag and published by Big Fish Games.
The story follows a woman named Annie whose husband disappears under mysterious circumstances after visiting the strange town of Santville. As Annie searches for him, she uncovers supernatural events, dark experiments, and an ancient evil threatening the town.
Gameplay combines several casual adventure mechanics:
- Hidden-object scenes where players search for listed items
- Point-and-click exploration
- Inventory-based puzzles
- Mini-games and logic challenges
- Story-driven progression with cinematic scenes
The game has a dark gothic atmosphere featuring abandoned buildings, laboratories, cemeteries, and eerie town locations. Themes include occult experiments, hallucinations, and psychological horror, though the presentation remains relatively mild compared to survival-horror games.
Main features include:
- Fully voiced characters and narrative sequences
- Hand-painted environments and animated scenes
- Casual and advanced difficulty modes
- Hint and skip systems for puzzles
- Bonus hidden collectibles in some editions
The visual style resembles other mystery and hidden-object adventure games popular in the early 2010s.

- Grim Tales
- Mystery Case Files
- Dark Parables
