Museum of Thieves
Based upon the upcoming novel, this spot-the-difference title takes place inside a very unique museum that takes a certain type of person to find their way through. Despite lacking any real story, it's visually stunning and easily worth a play for any fan of the genre looking for something a bit more lengthy.

Quite lovely, I must have been in the mood for something like this.
Nothing seemed unfair, first time through 3,649.
Very nice...quite liked it.
Score...3359...probably not terrific, but I enjoyed the experience.
Forgive the lengthy post, but this game got me revved up to share my opinion :)
The scenes in Museum of Thieves are absolutely gorgeous with so much eye candy, I think I got a cavity
and the atmospheric changes from "light" to "dark" are a nice touch.
It also avoids the common flaw of its genre by making the differences large enough to spot without forcing me to headache-inducing squints. More often than not, I was able to finish a room without the need of hints and usually with a time bonus.
I'd say the only downside is the weak attempt to involve the player in the plot, because the game assumes you're already familiar with the book. As my first introduction to the story, the symbolic imagery felt to me like hearing only half of an interesting conversation. This also turned characters' comments into more of a confusing distraction rather than adding immersion into the eerily beautiful fantasy world so carefully drawn by their talented artist.

I was a little surprised to see the game was rated "G". Parents should note that small children might find the macabre pictures a little frightening.
I really liked the game.
I always hate "spot the difference" games where the last one or two is IMPOSSIBLE to find, but this was just easy enough that didn't happen.
And I liked looking at the pictures.
I like the game, the shifting really awesome. It makes me want to buy the book but I found it too expensive for me :/ .
My fav room is the one with birds and the jail-like. Else the shifts feels like just adding red eyes and skeletons. I wish there are poltergeists or something out from the pictures!
score 3558!
Not bad! Looks good, loads fast, fairly (but not too) easy to spot the differences. But how about some more story? and maybe a little variation in difficulty?
Nicely done. The differences were all fair and not all obvious. The second half of the game was more difficult than the first giving a nice sense of progression. And it was well-programmed: no lagging cursors or bad clicks.
good game! scored 4016 first try. so a little easy.. but still great artwork.
