Expressing thoughts about Hidden Shadows, Sumit Mehra, General Manager of Zynga India, shares, with Animationxpress.com’s Zeenia Boatwala by saying, “For Hidden Shadows, our goal was to keep our players in mind throughout all development of the game from design to game-mechanics. We asked players what they wanted in our second hidden object game, following the success of Hidden Chronicles, and the final product includes the features they are most interested in – a darker storyline (supernatural mystery), more amazing artwork, and the ability to put their skills to use to solve intriguing crimes. Friends become truly powerful allies to this cause, helping players solve murders and close cases more quickly.”

Audience is the king! Yes, in the case of Zynga India as they’ve chosen to give a close ear to player’s feedback a crucial part in the design and game play development of this game.

Sumit adds more to this, “We know that our players enjoy crime themes and supernatural stories as well as progressing through the game without the need to rely on their friends.  There are a lot of new, exciting features in our development road-map that will make playing Hidden Shadows with friends even better while continuing to keep the story rich – expect a lot of twists and turns as the story unfolds.

And there is no stopping here as the Zynga India has already laid future plans for Hidden Shadows in which they would be instilling new, engaging and appealing elements for the players.

“The team in India has lot of experience in running live games and building new features to enhance the player’s experience.” informs, Sumit.

Soon, the game would be ported for the tablet users. “I’m sure Hidden Shadows will be counted as the one of the first fully connected hidden object games in the industry.” concludes, Sumit.
