Hidden Light

This game begins with a tutorial on how glasses help human eyes to see better. That's a good thing, because you'll need excellent vision to spot items in the science lab! Find as many as you can, as quickly as you can, in order to earn as many points as possible. Don't worry if you miss some items, though. You'll be able to answer a question to gain more time.
