Seekers Notes edit

In 2015, Mytona released a hidden object game titled Seekers Notes. It is a mystery genre game set in the town of Darkwood. Users play as the Seeker, the chosen one, the possessor of a powerful artefact — the Magical Map, and the aim is to save Darkwood from an evil curse.

This hidden object game was released in 2015.[4] The game was shut down in 2020.
