Game Classification

On a mystical world where magic is commonplace, a detective is sent undercover by the police as an employee to the owners of an isolated island, where several other hired helpers mysteriously disappeared. The sleuth must investigate the surroundings of the dilapidated place, meeting a curious cast of eccentric characters while exploring the many ruins and doing chores for them.

Elixir of Immortality is a point-and-click adventure game with hidden object challenges and simple puzzles aimed at the casual audience. Most of the time, the objective is to collect a series of items and use them to perform certain actions or solve puzzles. The inventory objects are stored inside several slots at the bottom tray, that slides upwards to show its contents when the mouse pointer is hovering over it, and recedes back down when the cursor is moved away. As in most adventures, the objects must be dragged and dropped from it to logical and appropriate portions of the scenery to perform interactions and complete pending tasks. The magnifying glass at the bottom-right corner is the hint button, highlighting the position of required objects and interactive hotspots.

Mini-games and seek-and-find object hunts take place on separate screens. On the hidden object scenes, the goal is to find and click on all the items listed at the bottom, on places filled with assorted paraphernalia scattered throughout the scenery. The mini-games show some sort of mechanism that must be manipulated directly to solve puzzles. [source:mobygames]
