played casual, low sound. hints take a little time to charge, 30-60 seconds. same with skips. neither not so long. i actually got through some of the mini games which is unusual for me. hints system is good and there is an interactive map. no diary, but the information you need is in the inventory. it sometimes applies itself such as a code for something. the woman in the beginning got on my nerves because she was whining a lot. i know she wanted to find her friends but she wasn't helping just wanted you to do it. you are searching for her friends that had disappeared along with an older man they were there helping. the "master of water" had been sealed for a long time but someone let him out and he was determined to drown the area and you needed to see him captured and sealed up again. sequel...there have been others in this series and i don't see why there won't be more. the graphics were clear as well.
I recommend this game!

the hints charge crazy fast...skips a little slower not by much. played casual, low sound. you are helping your mentor dr. ink figure out how to stop the madman from taking over the world. not too hard. hints show you where to go. some fragmented and some HO scenes. sequel...i feel sure.

you are called in on your first case to find out what is going on with dr. magnus. you find out his wife and daughter were in a car accident and you find the wife's grave. in the mean time you are traveling-no map or way to jump from location to location-looking for answers to solve the riddle of the dreamatorium. the hint charges in 60 seconds. i think i waited longer on the skips. played casual, low sound. graphics are good. the hints only guide you. they don't tell you what to do. they do help in the HO scenes but you have to wait ohn that 60 second charge. it does show how much is left to full charge if you hover over the green hint button. the game, to me, was kind of hard, but probably not to others. sequel...i think so.

played casual. low/no sound. hint/skip charge fast. mini games were mostly hard for me. great story in a series of other great games. queen sophia is looking for her parent's spirits. there is a gnome that has cast a curse over all at sunhook spire. it is up to her to fix things. you have to think about what to do sometimes. there is a diary and map. i didn't really use the map so i don't know if it is interactive or not. sequel.....i don't doubt it.

played casual, low/no sound. hints/skips charge super fast!!! you are trying to solve the mystery of why the people keep changing into evil beings and you meet the evil queen that is doing it and she isn't evil at all in the "real" world. only when she compares her necklace and the one on the book. she then turns evil and transforms all the others and you have to find the one thing that will transform them back and apply it to them to get the "real" person back. the hints show you the place you need to go and if you look at the map (interactive) it will take you there. it also shows the areas of interest so you don't need the hints all time. the areas glow on the map!!!! there is a diary, as well. sequel.....there have been ones in the past and i feel sure there will be one in the future. the scenes are putting things back in where they belong and some HO scenes and also picking up items as you progress through the game.

played casual mostly no sound. hint/skip charge in about 30 seconds. there is an interactive map that shows areas of interest but if you transport it has to recharge. that is ok, because the hints will get you there by showing you where to go. you are the daughter whose mother has died and your aunt raised you with your dad who is no longer here now either. your aunt (who i guess is no longer here, either) sends you a letter with a key to your old house where you lived as a child and you go there and the story begins. you meet a gnome who helps you throughout the game. you need to start the clock that has frozen time and allowed the evil to escape and this is your journey. graphics are clear. sequel....yes!!!!

you are rebuilding 3 houses and the same game play as others. not hard at all and there are hidden object games but they are the same and not hard. they involve finding 20 objects as you get further into the game. there is also a crystal game where you click on all these crystals as they fall before they fade away. the red ones have a higher energy level and the other ones have 2 different ones. the only thing about this is that the crystals fall on the screen behind the graphics at the bottom of the screen and i couldn't get the that part of the screen to lower when playing that one. didn't try on the other one. hints charge really fast. only had to use that on the hidden objects part of the game. again that may be because the object is behind the graphics on the bottom of the screen and you can't see it.

there were no skips so i didn't get along so well. you have to wait for the hint button to recharge to finish the mini games if you can't get them or you have to go to the WT. it is a typical rita james game. marbles the monkey does most of the saving, but rita gets the credit. marbles gets fed up but his curse words are asterisks and symbols. you have to collect puzzle pieces to put pictures together and 80 coins or more through the game in order to see the extra at the end (after the credits) which introduces the sequel...... good graphics and all, but NO SKIP BUTTON.

a good game for a special deal due to length. great graphics. a lot of fragmented scenes. adventure scenes. played casual, no sound. hint/skip charge in about 30-45 seconds. you are looking for your friend mary on a floating island that she opened up a portal to get to. when you follow her you search for her then find her but she is in a spirit form and you have to free the spirits on the island so they can go on living "normal" lives and to bring mary back as well. i had to skip most of the mini games. that is a "me" thing though. no interactive map but hints help you in where to go.
