Modern Tales: Age of Invention is a hidden object adventure set in 1900 Paris during the world expo. You play as Emily Patterson, whose scientist father vanishes along with other prominent inventors in a mass abduction. The game has you searching elaborately detailed scenes for clues, solving logic puzzles, and piecing together the kidnapper's motives across period-accurate Parisian locations. Gameplay alternates between object-hunting sequences and environmental puzzles that unlock new areas. The story unfolds through discovered notes and interactions with NPCs as you track the culprit's trail. Expect Victorian-era machinery, expo pavilions, and turn-of-the-century aesthetics throughout. If you like methodical investigation games with a historical skin, this delivers straightforward hidden object mechanics without major genre twists.
