As a writer I am always typing. This game played that regular hobby into a fun twist. The story is written into the game scenery which I liked and gave me a good idea of where I'd been and where I needed to go. Took a little thought because it doesn't hand you an instruction manual but not all games need to hold your hand. This one was easy enough to figure out while still needing to play it out to catch on. Plus it is always nice to have a game not about death with a female hero.
Imagine a sunny day at a cozy Parisian cafe. People are walking around, drinking coffee and laughing. Suddenly a bright flash wipes out all life on Earth!
This game flows like a play-4-free. Rolling goals, limited power to use and other typical play-4-free characteristics. If you like the repetition of those games - like Wanderland - then this is a good game - similar feel. I do play Wanderland but playing a regular game like this feels awkward. Storyline was interesting because it had historical figures and mentions.
I recommend this game!

The farming idea of this game is an excellent intermission to HO but the HO scenes are limited. The HOs are made more interesting by an extra goal that is provided at the top of the screen. Graphics are vibrant and getting the farm fixed up is fun but some of the mini games are a little difficult for the younger crew but they can be skipped easily. My daughters each have their own game and keep playing with enjoyment.
I recommend this game!

The HOs had a new twist of putting items with something they are associated with and the story was interesting and good for my daughters. We also liked the map and its interactive help of displaying what was available and what was not actively needed to visit. We would be happy to see another of this type.
