Nicly done graphics, characters and nice music. Ok that is what I liked.
What I did not like was the repetitious hidden object scenes over and over again. Tiny items so well hidden that you need a microscope to find them. Unreasonable time limits to find these items. Ugh, I play games for relaxation not stress. Not a fan of hidden object scenes, I thought this game looked interesting and gave it a try because of the well drawn scenes and characters.
I am happy that so many others like this Hidden Object game but it is a no buy for me.

Lots of fun. Great Graphics. Interesting puzzles. I don't think this was as great as the others but I liked it alot.
Probably the only thing I did not like about it was the irratating achievements you had to wait for after finishing a HOP. No skip feature and no moving forward.
Enjoyed it. Give it a trial try.
I recommend this game!

Wonderful story. Refreshing. Great storyline. Nice characters and beautiful graphic scenes. Loved those golums, the cat and the flying machine.
Nice to have a game that I had to use my skills at finding and figuring out what to to with the herbs, oils and fibers to mix the right potion to move to the next quest.
Really liked this game. Glad it had a positive ending.
Give it a try.
I recommend this game!

Amazing game. The storyline was so well written and flowed flawlessly throughout the game.
This was a long game that remained fresh from scene to scene.

Graphics and music beautiful. Characters interesting and voice overs done well.
I thoroughly enjoyed this game, HO's, minigames and puzzles.
I recommend this game.

I really got into this game, once I played through it. I beta tested this and did not think it was a true virtual reality sci-fi game because the game quickly went from virtual reality to fantasy. When it was released in the Collector’s Edition, I did not buy it.
I figured it was going to be another fantasy disguised as a sci-fi action. Well, I was wrong. I am glad I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. Plenty of great innovative puzzles and nicely done hidden object scenes. Lots of action to keep me busy. Loved the robots, and putting together weapons and fixing all the technical gizmos to continue my quest to return to reality. The gameplay was exciting and lengthy. Fabulous graphics and characters.
Sci-Fi and Whodunit games are my favorites.
Another great addition to the Surface series. Thank you, Elephant and Big Fish for great games like the Surface Series.
I recommend this game!

Fantastic murder mystery. Loads of great puzzles and HO scenes to make anyone happy. Right amount of dreary stormy weather, thunder, wind and lightening. So many scenes to explore and each scene had lots to do. I was happy throughout the game.
I did not expect the killer to be who it was. I just felt bad that all those great writers where killed. They did write some great stories, don't you agree.
Thanks Eipix for another thrilling adventure in your "Dead Reckoning" series
I recommend this game!

One of my favorite holiday games from Elephant. Always look forward to this gift in my stocking each year. The Gift of the Magi was stunning.
What a delightful story on learning the meaning of giving to those who need the gift of love and kindness.
I wondered if I might see our little cat friends and was happy to see them in the bonus chapter.
Thank you Elephant and Big Fish for The Gift of the Magi. Happy Holidays,
I recommend this game!

I agree with all the wonderful things that have been said about another fabulous and innovative game by MadHead.
Loaded with puzzles. Love it. Love it Love it. Also, liked that there was only one collectable to find. I like finding morphing items and collectables, but spending so much time on finding these items, I find it distracts from the overall gameplay.
The ending of the main game was such a surprise. I was stunned and a bit apprehensive. Wow great thought went into making a great ending.
I especially liked the bonus chapter. It was a delight. Loved the little feisty imps. Greedy and snarky little guys. Cake they demanded and I made a great one.
MadHead, I continue to applaud you. You have a great team of gifted and imaginative people. Thank you Big Fish for all the outstanding games you provide to your customers.
I recommend this game!

Wonderful graphics and characters. Wow, glad I didn't choose this place for a vacation. Original and different storyline.
I felt so sorry for the poor woman and her father who were duped into believing her children were dead. The feeling her life did not have meaning and she had nothing to live for. Pushed to the brink of death only be forced to continue living her sorrow forever. Very cruel and sad.

Ok so I got into the character a little too much and for that reason, I just did not care as much for the story. Sad and a bit too much gore for my taste.
I give it a four out of five because I thought the diversity of the characters and puzzles were great.
The game was well thought out, great puzzles and HOPA’s Lots to do and scenes to visit. Imaginative and creative.

Mad Head has hit this one out of the park. Original and innovative. Love the graphics and characters.

I felt as if I was watching a television series. I am so looking forward to the sequel in this wonderful new adventure. I knew I was going to buy it before the demo had finished.

Mad Head has exceled in providing new and fresh stories. I love the who-done-it as well as sci-fi games and this developer seems to know what I like.
I'm thinking "Game of the Year". Surely, this one will get honorable mention
.
Demo it and buy it. It's that good
I recommend this game!
