I'm pretty disappointed in this game, especially given the ratings it's had so far. I was expecting something much better. The good aspects of the game simply don't outweigh the bad ones.
Good:
*graphics overall quite nice.
*some originality in the hidden object scenes, which is rare these days

Bad:
*lead character voice-over painfully bad.
*any challenge in the game -even on advanced mode- is eliminated by the game either telling you exactly what to do or just doing it for you. Blah.
*the WORST example of non-ending I've seen in a game yet. I realy wish game makers would consider story-telling an important part of a game. Stories should have endings. This one fails utterly.

The last two points are why I rate this game so low. I want to be challenged by a game and play through a satisfying story. Sadly neither happened here.
I don't recommend this game.
Return to the world of Pahelika as there is trouble brewing in the land of Dhara! Go on a whole new Adventure in Pahelika: Revelations!

I'm only about halfway through so far but enjoying this one a lot. It's rare to see a true adventure game these days, rather than the hidden object hybrid variety.
If you are only familiar with H.O. games, you may find this one frustrating since there are no hints, as has been noted by other reviewers here. But don't be turned off by the negative reviews before giving it a shot. Imagination and logic (and a bit of patience) will take you a long way towards solving the problems.
I definitely recommend this for fans of adventure games, and encourage H.O. fans to try it too.
I recommend this game!
