Another HOG released by the same "developer", Hede. Although this has a similar concept (just one image available to tell you which object to look for) and probably the same level dimensions (or slightly greater) the file size has now reached 10 gigabytes following the 7.5 the previous title, Hidden Town, had.
Issues with the game are similar: using WASD for camera movement feels weird and only the mouse wheel can be used for the same purpose (this movement is a tad bit too fast, though). The same mouse wheel that can often be used for zooming in does not have this function here. Instead, use the zoom bar at the top. There is also a dropdown that makes the camera immediately jump to the center of the map (the 4 different options practically mean nothing as the result is the same).
Objects are difficult sometimes to identify - the game gives you scores but clicking on the wrong object takes them away from you. There is no associated achievement to this nor high scores to look at. And the image of the object you are looking for (the picture is in the upper left corner) is not clear / enlarged enough so it isn't that much of a help. You need to click on all wagons, for instance, when looking for it to see which one is accepted.
Avoid it if you can. Interestingly, of all the HEDE games I currently see in the store this is the only one at full price (almost 100 EUR, as usual) not enjoying the classic 90% discount. Which, what Augmented Steam labels as historical low, last occurred in April, 2022.
