Microïds Games for All announces the release of ” Hidden Files – Echoes of JFK ” , a new investigation and hidden object game dealing with one of the greatest conspiracies of the 20th century, on iOS and Android, and soon PC and Mac.
2013 marks the 50th anniversary of American president John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s death.

In ” Hidden Files – Echoes of JFK “, the player investigates on a case parallel to the president’s murder. As special agent Jane Sully, the player is sent by the FBI’s boss to resolve the mystery around the death of journalist Jack Olsen who was himself investigating on JFK’s case.
In this interactive investigation, phases of research of hidden objects follow on with puzzles and mini-games in order to progress and eventually solve the case. The player moves freely in different areas. His sense of observation, exploration and deduction are required all through the adventure to discover clues in the mysterious murder.

For the fans of history and plots, 50 pieces of info or facts about the JFK case are spread and can be collected all along the adventure.
