I just don't like games that when you find an object and use it, it doesn't work because you've done it out of sequence. You have to do a puzzle or find something else before it will work. The hint works when you place an object on top of it -- to show where it goes. And even if you are correct, it won't go until you find something or do something in proper sequence. This is to be expected with some items and in most games, but not to the extent of this game. It makes playing frustrating at times. I did not finish the demo which is rare because of this.
I don't recommend this game.

This game was terrific fun. The puzzles were great and challanging but not impossible and hidden object scenes had objects you needed to find in order to move on in the game. I loved it! The bonus game was just as good!
I recommend this game!

I loved everything about this game. The game was beautiful and the puzzles and hidden object scenes were not too hard and not easy -- just perfect. Even the bonus game at the end was fun.

I liked the storyline and I loved the hidden object games but there was a time when I had to resort to the Forum to find a missing item. I thought at first it was a glitch in the game until I found the answer there. I would recommend this game and I'm glad I played the full version.
I recommend this game!

This is a game for an expert and even then, I doubt they could do it withiout a strategy guide or walkthrough. The first hour demo was actually the most fun because it was doable without help and yet challanging. The visuals and storyline are great but this is a long game made longer still by the impossible puzzles that even having pen and paper won't help to solve. It seriously makes me wonder how the very first person to play this game is able to without guidance. Good luck on this one.
I don't recommend this game.

After playing the demo I had no desire to play longer. The game had no logic to its play. The howling noise when you use a hint was annoying.
I don't recommend this game.

This game was just ok for me. The hidden object games were done well, but the story line and fun factor were lacking for me. It was one of those back-and-forth, go-here-go-there and go back there again games that gets tiresome.
I don't recommend this game.

I played this game on my computer and I would find an object and then go to use it and it would be gone. Also, I was unable to save my progress so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and that corrected the problem. Great game.
I recommend this game!

This game was harder for me than usual -- I actually thought there was a problem with the game because no matter what I did, I could not find a certain object. But persistance paid off. Great game.
I recommend this game!
