Look forward to variety of games that BFG offers to us as not everyone likes the same ole same ole.
Any story that contains The Vatican, Knights of the Templar, etc. is always interesting for me. Well rendered artwork and graphics. The timed gameplay was challenging and unique!
Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

Demo Review. This young lady has suffered a mishap that renders her unconscious and is inside her mind and trying to break through to consciousness is my understanding of initial gameplay.
As in previous reviews, I lean towards games where stories "draw" you, lack the frenzied shock-value and have threads of believability.
Although story line may be too much reality for some, it is rather relaxing, has non-intrusive background music, and appropriate, do-able ho scenes.

I would love to be able to purchse the CE, however, with the Economy as it is and Holidays and so many good BFG Games, will either have to wait for SE or for an awesome BFG Sale. Enjoy! - Mama Mia -

Pleasantly surprised with this game especially based on reviews which it's always a good idea to play demo and see for yourself.
Mysterious and spellbinding, you are Hazel who is having recurring nightmares since her father passed away and is seriously in danger of having a full mental breakdown.
Hazel decides to seek professional help who guides her to unlock "the doors" of her mind. But he's always in the shadows. Hmmm. Lots of twist and turns in this mystery story.
Length just about right imho as I have played games that seemed to never end, HO scenes look cluttered, however, if you "focus" they are quite do-able and fun as well as the puzzels.
Enjoy! -Mama Mia-.

Demo versions imho don't give enough info to honestly review a game. However, Hard Level should mean difficult and demo provided enough info that the most difficult level is entirely too "easy". In as much as I like collecting and reaching Achievement goals, the interactive map shows where all the turtles are found. And, do I really want to see more octopus tentacles swishing in and out of sight?
I think not.
I think not.
The artwork is superb, the ho scenes clear! I mean everything to like in a game is here. Yet, there is no challenge, no mystery--nothing mysterious to draw you in-- as far as the demo goes.
There are many good games that literally draw you in and *zap*--you're buying the game!
Just to name a few....
Nightmare Adventures: The Witch's Prison
Witches' Legacy-The Charleston Curse
Depths of Betrayal
Mystery Valley
F.A.C.E.S.
ALL Mystery Trackers

Possibly the game gets a lot better.
I didn't purchase this game--maybe on a future deal as the puzzles look interesting enough.

Had fun playing demo. Not the most terrible game I've ever played. With all the eye-candy games out there, this one is original and more like the old-time games.
Challenging to find numbers 1 through 40 and numbers are sometimes backward, upside down and blended into background. Many numbers are in clear view as well.
Game is timed so you have to jump right on finding the numbers. No hints. If you click on a previously found number, there is no penalty, however, if you click elsewhere, a -10 second off your short timer is deducted which is good too if you want to end that scene more quickly. At the end of timer, bursts of light show where numbers are hidden that you could not find. Even then, I couldn't see some of them still--lol.
If you are competitive and always looking for new ways to challenge yourself, at least try the demo.
The game is difficult as we have grown accustomed to being handed answers through hints and walkthroughs. None of that here.
Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

You literally stop to smell the roses in this Carol Reed Adventure Game and cannot help but enjoy the lovely scenery and music while playing the game.
Not for those who prefer fast-paced, however, I would recommend Gamers who enjoy simplistic beauty, will be happy to add to your Gaming Collection.
Carol Reed is a young woman who fell into sleuthing and opened her own agency in Norkopping, Switzerland. You are Carol and, although not a rocket scientist, you have a knack for solving puzzles and piecing together a mystery.
The artwork and photography is superb and the music mesmerizing. Wow! If Switzerland is as beautiful as the game portrays, I would love to visit!!!
I have read reviews that compare Carol Reed with Nancy Drew and that is like comparing apples to oranges. Carol Reed Mysteries stand alone.
I have listed the Carol Reed games and the years of their release for anyone who is interested:
Remedy - 2004
Hope Springs Eternal - 2005
Time Stand Still - 2006
East Side Story - 2007
The Color of Murder - 2008
Black Circle - A Carol Reed Mystery - 2009
Blue Madonna - 2011
Hope Springs Eternal - 2005
Time Stand Still - 2006
East Side Story - 2007
The Color of Murder - 2008
Black Circle - A Carol Reed Mystery - 2009

Looking forward to another Carol Reed Mystery.
Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

Awesome artwork with bright, vibrant colors in this somber Hidden Object, Puzzle, Adventure Game. Lots of spiders, webs and other insects, oh my! The Black Widow Spider Woman is gorgeous and deadly!
A train is stopped at the Andville Station and can go no further due to sticky spider webs. A woman who entered your cabin is suddenly attacked by mechanical spiders, wrapped in the silky threads and taken away in front of your eyes. You must help her! Forget the vacation! Forget the cup of tea!
Game moves at a more relaxed pace and will appeal to all age groups.
BFG has heard our requests for more Adventure-type games that have equal amounts of puzzles, mini-games and hidden-object scenes and this is one of those games.
Thanks to ginger gal, sporty gal, Nilosh, rosekaufmann and other faithful BFG reviewers. I read your reviews daily and would like to see more of your Current Favorites!
Enjoy! -Mama Mia-
P. S. If you have a fear of spiders, this game may cure you or send you screaming into the next room!
I recommend this game!

Yes! A fun and fab game in time for the 2012 Holidays. Truly enjoyable gameplay!
While everyone is bustling about, we gamers will be quietly excusing ourselves to go play ALL the Mystery Trackers games--The Void, Raincliff, Black Isle and this newest installment--Four Aces.
Mystery Trackers Devs have ultimately perfected the Hidden Object Adventure Game! You heard our cries for gaming excellence and answered!
Enter the land of Mystery Trackers: Four Aces. Everything in one package--interactive map; fun and creative HO's and Puzzles; bright, colorful, detailed Artwork and Graphics; Morphing Objects; Collecting Chips to purchase items in the Dog Shop; imaginations running wild and letting it all go. Love it. Many Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Enjoy! Mama Mia Hugs & Kisses!

HOG Lovers will like this game as well. Uncomplicated and a refreshing change from sifting through HO scenes. Yay!
Great story, great artwork while searching for items needed to continue your investigative Adventure.
More! More--of these newer-type Adventure Games! Don't have to split any brain cells and is Adventure-style fun!
Achievements to find makes this Cateia Games even more endearing. An immediate purchase.

Okay, Okay, I'm an Adventure, Large File Gamer and am choosy regarding hidden object scenes of late as I just don't enjoy spending a lot of time getting through HOS.
Rather liked the puzzles very much and thought wouldn't it be great if Developers put a Skip option on the HOS as well? Just a thought.
Not the worst game and not the best game ever played here!
Enjoy! -Mama Mia-
