A mystery set in the late Victorian era. It's atmospheric with music that sounds like it could have come from a movie. The objects are quite challenging to find at times. Puzzles fairly easy. Hint and puzzle buttons are slow to charge up. While the hidden object scenes are realistic and have attractive graphics, they can be messy and crammed with objects. Ideally, it's a game to be savoured and not rushed.
This straight forward hidden object game is almost ten years old, which is exactly the vintage that I like. The story line is romance/medieval, combined with a science fiction/time travel element. The game seems to have predicted the future of the current HOGS, by parodying the cliched and predictable aspects of the latest games on offer. It has that rare characteristic of having a clear linear story line, so there's no going back to other scenes to find hidden objects. Scenes don't get repeated. Puzzles in between hidden object scenes are generally easy but fun. There is a slowish skip button for puzzles and a hint button for everything else. Music is relaxing and artwork is unusual and attractive. What I like most about it, is the hidden crystals in every scene (including puzzle scenes) If you get them all, or nearly all, you are rewarded at the end by bonus artwork, which reveals what happened to the characters at the end of the story. Doesn't sound like much but I enjoyed it. I've played it twice - the second time to get all the crystals I missed- and I found it much more exciting the second time.
It's quirky and cute and fun. The graphics aren't too bad and you can find objects fairly easily. There's a hint button plus you can skip the puzzles striaght away. If you like old school hidden object games, without gimmicks or complexities and just want to relax, then this is the game for you.
