This is an off the charts original game! I wish more developers were this daring. It is a large file adventure game for those who prefer a challenge compared to hand holding. If you are a HOG lover, pass on this one. Also, the screenshots don't reflect this game accurately. You may want to watch some video's on this before buying since there is not demo. Other than that, I basically agree with all points given by the other reviewers who like this game. Worth the money!
Loved it! I have played at least 100 games on this site and can say with all sincerity that is one of my top 3 favorites. I loved the story and the puzzles were so unique. I agree with a previous reviewer that Big Fish should have a special category for games like this that are not HOGs. It would be helpful for those of us who like these kind of games and avoid disappointing those that don't. We really need more of these types of games. Good job to the developers!
I recommend this game!

Bravo! What a refreshing change to the same boring HOS formula! Finally, a game with puzzles that actually require some thought. There was no tedious backtracking (so anyone who complains about lack of a map is just looking for something to complain about). Access is closed to areas that have been completed. The whimsical art work is in a style I love. If I can say anything constructive it would be that the hints aren't always 100% helpful. I like the gentle nudge but the developers may want to consider a two tier hint system that gives additional guidance. Also, the last puzzle was frustrating for me (so much so that I almost quit) and the game was a little shorter than others. Still, I don't regret purchasing it and wait with eagerness for their next game.
The one dissapointing thing I want to point out is that so often I would come across what I thought was going to be a mini game but only turned out to be a missing piece puzzle. There were so many missed opportunities in this game. It could have been SO much better. Also, many characters were introduced in the story that never seemed to be fully developed an only confused the story line. Finally, there was no challenge to this game. Even at the difficult level there was a lot of hand-holding. Overall, this was one of the more boring games I have played...and I've played a lot. On a side note to BF games, everyone has access to the demo's so their really is no need for a demo review. It would be nice if reviews were limited to those who actually purchase the games and play them through otherwise the game tends to be overrated.
