The magic adventure beckons once again! Nora: In Search of Hidden Ingredients debuts on Nintendo Switch

RedDeer.Games is delighted to present players with a brand new magical adventure. In Nora: In Search of Hidden Ingredients – part heartfelt story and part hidden object game – players will support Nora in her most important task – uncovering her grandmother’s secret.

Watch Date Announcement Trailer

This time, players will help Nora through one of the most difficult moments of her life. When she is expelled from the Periculle Magic Academy – the place of her dreams – she receives another blow from fate: the heartbreaking news of her beloved grandmother’s passing.

Nora returns to Lillyton to claim the inheritance she received from her grandmother – her old house. But the ghost of the house stands in her way, totally complicating what seems like an easy task.

The ghost gives Nora a condition: either she proves she’s worthy of becoming the new owner of the house, or she will not receive her inheritance. To do this, Nora must find a unique item – the most precious of all her grandmother’s possessions.

This is how a magical adventure begins, where players join Nora in her searching quest, because here even the most ordinary object could hold the key. Meanwhile, the ghost will effectively hinder their exploration.

Will players manage to find the most important object and help Nora understand where true magic really comes from?
