## Description

Kate Arrow receives an e-mail from her grandfather, an explorer searching for
the lost idols of a friendly tribe that saved his life twenty years ago. He
forgot the last idol back home, and asks her help to retrieve and bring the
artifact to the jungle. Kate finds the statuette, and flies to the place on
her private plane following an ancient map. The aircraft stalls and she’s left
stranded in the wilderness, having to use her wits to reach the secluded
village.

_Kate Arrow: Deserted Wood_ is a point-and-click adventure and hidden object
game. The main objective is to gather a series of inventory items and use them
on specific places to solve puzzles. The hidden object scenes can be accessed
by clicking on the sparkling areas found on some locations. They take place on
a separate screen, where the goal is to find and click on all the objects
listed at the bottom. The hint button at the left corner shows the position of
one of the required items when activated, but takes some time to recharge
after use. A new inventory object is received after completing one of these
seek-and-find challenges.

The inventory tray sits at the bottom, sliding up to reveal its contents when
the cursor is hovering over it, and automatically receding down when the mouse
pointer is moved away. The stored objects have to be dragged and dropped from
it to an appropriate and logical portion of the scenery to perform all the
required actions and complete the pending tasks. At certain points, the player
has to solve mini-games by manipulating a mechanism of some sort to open
safes, set a series of gears in sequence, reassemble jigsaw puzzles and finish
other similar challenges.
