## Description

Like its predecessor, _Youda Legend: The Golden Bird of Paradise_ is a hidden
object game with some elements from the adventure genre. The player assumes
the role of a relic hunter, searching various tropical locations for clues
about an ancient artifact. Most of the time, the objective is to find and
click on all the items listed at the left side of the screen, on remote
locations filled with assorted objects scattered through the scenery.

Some of the collected items are stored inside the inventory, accessible as a
retracting tray at the bottom of the screen. The objects have to be dragged
and dropped from their tray slots to the appropriate and logical places of the
scenery, to perform an action or complete a task. As in most point-and-click
adventures, inventory objects can be used on other inventory items to fix,
clean, or prepare them in some other way. Besides the list items, the
locations have gems that give extra points, and are set as decorations to the
surrounding interface. The hint button is a statue head sitting at the top of
the list that, when activated, turns and shoots light beams from its eyes to
highlight one of the required objects with a circle. The statue takes some
time to recharge after use.

Some puzzles take place on a separate screen, where the player has to match
pairs of dice by theme, place coins on a grid on slots that match their
engravings, enter a series of Mayan symbols on a code cylinder, complete a
jigsaw puzzle with map pieces, step on the correct sequence of round boulders
of a stone path, reassemble a shattered glass statuette, trace patterns on the
screen to cut dense vegetation with a machete, and complete other similar
challenges. These mini-games can be skipped after a few minutes. The language
can be set to Italian, Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese, British English,
North American English, Dutch or French.
