It's not often I'm truly drawn in to a game and I mean really drawn in to one. This one ticked all the boxes for me.
The story gripped me immediately and continued to until the end. I was gutted when it finished.
I loved the setting and genre. We need more like that.
I'm getting tired of seeing so many 'fantasy' games set in 'mystical worlds'.
Instead this was contemporary, fresh and intelligent.
I loved it.
I recommend this game!

Maybe I've played too many Nancy Drew games but I can no longer listen to the voice actress Lani Minella in anything.
Clunky controls, same old format if you like that type of thing.
Nothing new here. Bored after 20 mins.
I don't recommend this game.

I love an old fashioned kinda game. One that gets me immersed without bells and whistles, without over dramatic soundtracks. Unfortunately as soon as I heard the over-the-top Broadway/West End soundtrack to it I was dismayed. The game was fine on its own without some over sentimental forced emotional music put to it. I'm just personally not sold by that sort of thing. I'm an old fashioned kinda girl who appreciates the real things in life.
Having said that there is nothing particularly wrong with the game play. Nice graphics, somewhat absorbing though the story has been done to death. Not a purchase for me.
I recommend this game!

I've only played the trial run and so far it's spontaneous, interactive and so wonderfully enchanting! It feels independent and very well thought through. I was hooked from the first scene and intrigued by that bear! If you're a fan of The Golden Compass you'll enjoy this more so!
I'm definitely buying this. I got so immersed I forget to check for collectables and morphing items and that's so unlike me!
Great characterization, a really interesting storyline and something I believe is a real winner. A truly lovely made and inventive game so far! Thank you!
I recommend this game!

It's just the same old, same old kinda game. Nothing new, nothing exciting, no new elements to it. Historical fantasy games are fast going out of style and games set in modern day are becoming more and more popular now. We need more of these style games!
I don't recommend this game.

This had all things I look for in a game. Inventive, interesting and so much fun. We need more sci-fi and modern-themed games. The storyline kept me interested throughout, backed by a thematic soundtrack. At times I felt like I was watching a film. It was a beautiful journey to be taken on. More like this please!
I recommend this game!

A great story-telling game that takes you deep in to wonderful characterization. It's interactive, fun, interesting and intelligent.
It's not often I feel a great deal for a game but this one in particular kept me occupied and satisfied throughout. I was sad when it ended and felt genuine warmth for the characters who help you along the way. I'd love to see a sequel to this game if possible. Incredibly enjoyable - thank you!
I recommend this game!

I'm not one of those people who will give heavy detail of the game. I haven't given a review in ages simply because I haven't been inspired enough recently. However this gorgeously intrinsic game gave me everything I needed as a long-standing BF gamer. Big Shock Horror - I even found it more interesting than the new Dire Grove game, which so many of us adored! This game on the other hand was just great fun, simply that! The story line, graphics and playability was excellent. It lasted ages and when you think it's ended it goes in to another story just to give you that added extra! I loved it and hope you will too!
I recommend this game!

I was so looking forward to playing this but after about an hour I realised it wasn't as good as its previous edition.
I just got bored.
The previous game was so humble and personable. I really got into the characters and got immersed into the storyline. This one however made me feel very cold towards it, almost as if the game had been developed too quickly.
Not that impressed unfortunately and very sorry to say.
I don't recommend this game.
