While on vacation, Francesca DiPorta receives a phone call from Professor
Manini, summoning her to his manor in Italy. She arrives to the place and
finds no sign of her old acquaintance, but soon discovers among his belongings
the journal of the famous adventurer Casanova, with clues about a magical
amulet that was torn apart and hidden on four European cities. She must travel
and find all the missing parts to solve the mystery.

Like its predecessor, Insider Tales: The Secret of Casanova is a hidden
object game where most of the time the goal is to search and click on all the
items from a list at the bottom of the screen, on locations around Europe
filled with assorted paraphernalia scattered across the scenery. In some
cases, the objective is to find several instances of the same object. Some of
the items collected are stored inside the inventory space besides the list, to
be used later on the adventure portion.

Each location starts with the initial hidden object challenge, followed by an
adventure section where the inventory objects have to be dragged and dropped
on appropriate and logical portions of the scenery to solve puzzles. The hint
button is a magnifying glass with a ? mark, showing the exact position of one
of the required items when activated, but taking some time to recharge after
use.

There are a few puzzles that take place on a separate screen, where a
mechanism of some sort has to be manipulated directly to solve it and complete
the location. Standard challenges of the genre, like jigsaw puzzles and a
spot-the-differences game between two similar pictures, are included as well.
