The background graphic for the introduction page is set outside of a carnival tent, enticing the player to come on in. Other graphics include a black cat, pumpkin and lanterns.

Once you enter the tent, the highly visual aesthetics include those that you would expect from inside a fortune tellers tent. For example, the red curtain, old wooden boxes, card packs and strange creatures like a half rabbit / lizard.

The audio sounds magical with each click of an item.

The introduction page gives the player 3 options:

1. Start the game
2. Download the full game
3. Buy the full version

After pressing enter you see Madam Fate the fortune teller welcoming you, then it continues on to the hidden object game.

All the elements on the main screen is set on the right side of the game. From there you will notice right up the top, the time limit, which is set to 5 minutes for each level. 5 minutes seems to be the time set for most hidden object games, not only Mystery Case Files Madame Fate.

You can then get a hint, which is handy for when you are stuck. However, this useful tool wasn't really obvious the first time I played this game, as I missed it altogether.

You can also see a random list of objects and items to find on the right side. This list of objects is different with each new game.

If time runs out before you've found all the items shown in the list on the right side, the player is given an option to start again with a new set of objects to find. This takes you back to the absolute beginning with the introduction page. Personally, I'd rather have seen the player taken back to the actual level and not have to go through the storyline time and time again.
