i own all these games and i enjoy all of them. in this one you are the detective trying to find the master. you are working with his daughter and of course the puppets are there but not as many as i have seen before. there seems to be only the one against you and you have one, that you can name, to help. i really enjoyed this game. hint/skip button charge fast and the hints do help.
hints recharge super fast!!! you are finding your way through the kingdom and learning things to increase your knowledge. you have a peacock friend accompanying you. graphics are so pretty. HO not junked, but challenging. there are 22 chapters so kind of long, but it doesn't take long to get through a chapter. played casual no sound. no map or diary but none needed. you are automatically taken to where you need to go.
i played on casual. no sound. hints/skips took 60 seconds to recharge. the graphics were really good, but i like HO games better. if you like adventure games you should like this one. it has a diary but no map and that would have helped a lot!!!!!
i didn't really like this game that much. no skips. it had a good storyline, but it took forever to finish. others might that, i had to keep cheating to finish. it is about a woman that goes exploring and winds up finding people she didn't expect to find. if you are like me and want to be able to skip some games.....try the demo first to be sure you will be happy spending the money. the hint button and item locator are both slow charging. there is a diary and an interactive map but the map is so-so for helping.
hint/skip charge fast. played casual/no sound. interactive map. journal. hints do hand-hold you, but the map will let you jump if you remember where to go. it also shows where you have things to do. you are tracking down a madman that is killing young women. you use scents that you have to mix to get through things. they are not hard. there will be a sequel i am sure since it was started at the end of this one.
i love these games. it is a good game to play awhile and then come back to. it is just like the other ones except you are fixing up your parents garden! the game can be played with a relaxed mode where the customers have more patience. i really like these games!!!!!
I recommend this game!

Strange Cases: The Faces of Vengeance
Agent Claire Ellery must rescue her young ward, but this masked kidnapper has set deadly traps in the abandoned mall!
played casual. low sound-what you would expect. hint/skip charge fairly fast. follows along like the others. in this one you are trying to rescue a girl that has been taken by an evil man. a detective is helping you. hints hand-hold you through it. there is an interactive map that will jump to where you want to go once you have been there. it also shows where there is a point of interest. surprise ending. i am sure there will be a sequel. there so far has been. i didn't really like this one as much as the others.
really enjoyed this game. played regular mode. hints charge fast. you have to reassemble a dreamcatcher to save the girl and she is in "dreamscape mode" that you need to save her from. graphics are great!!!! you have to find little "beholders" in each scene, but if you don't, it advances anyway. there is a sequel coming according to the end of this game and would be sensible since the girl's friend is in the game as well. really good game!!!!!!
played casual, low sound. map (interactive) and journal. skip/hint fill fast. hints tell you where to go and the map will take where you want to go once you have been there. graphics are great!!!! the HO scenes are not really crowded. you are looking for pandora's box. someone is wanting to open it and destroy civilization and you need to see that it is again locked as it happens.
played casual, low sound. hints skips fill fast. diary, no map. don't need one. you crash while riding with your daughter and an old crone tells you and your daughter can come to her cabin and drink some tea and wait out the storm. next thing you know your vision is getting bad and you see your daughter being led off by the old crone. you wake up in an old room and go looking for your daughter and others help you while you help them to transfer back to human form. graphics are good. hints tell you that there is nothing to do there not where to go.
