Based on demo I totaly agree with WANDERINGWOMBLE above. I did not quite understand, is it an old game presented today or it is a new game? In the second case this game is very bad. I understand and like the idea of making an old school game brought to the present day but NOT imitating the graphics and the malfunctioning mechanics of those days. Sorry, I cannot recommend the game
Based ONLY ON DEMO. It is a decent game, colorful and restful for the eyes. ( I hate in other games when you point on a square and the rows and columns around it turn very bright) The grid becomes 20x15 very quickly. I do not know whether the game gets more difficult later BUT until the end of the demo, the pictures are very simple and of course, very easy to play.(f.e. when there are flowers around) That is why I keep my rate low. Otherwise, it is better than others I have tried.
Overall: Good game, easy going Graphics: Very good, with bright colors, scenes with beautiful details and pleasant atmosphere Lenght: 3 hours according to YouTube's walkthrough Story : Without surprises Mini games & H.O.scenes: Fun and easy Interesting? : Usual, neither exciting nor boring Action takes place among 3 scenes so you do not have to remember places way back.
Based on demo: I was thrilled by the gameplay and happy to find myself once again preoccupied and taken by surprise when the demo ended. There is so many things to do in every scene and they have brought back the feature where you ckick on an item and then 4-5 bubbles open around it with hidden items you have to find. I liked that I rarely found coocie-cutter tasks. Also, I, who need help no more than once or twice in a game, hit the button at least 6-7 times in the demo only. Comments say that after the demo the story gets better, so considering the general dissapointment of the last years' games, I don't think I have any complaint up to now for this one. I am buying it.
Based on demo: I don't think it is so bad as other reviewers are saying. Of course, it is not an original or has any new ideas, But it is fun to play and easy going without much going back and forth. Remember to touch everything. Some figures reacted very funny. After checking the walkthrough I believe it's about 3 hours long, playing in normal speed.
I recommend this game!

Based on demo ---------------------- The story is good and interesting. For the sound I would not care less. The scenery is bright and beautiful. The game play is in a good level, sometimes challenging -like the family tree making- and sometimes very easy. (I believe this is good because I do not like to be stressed and get headaches) The length is decent ( little less than 4 hours for average players in easy mode) The help system (map,hint) is very good. Everybody can get the kind of help he wants. In general, my opinion is possitive.
