I have played hundreds of HOGs over the years, and so I love to find quirky little gems like One Way Flight. It is not the typical HOG.
You are a plane crash survivor, and the game unfolds kind of slowly as it teaches you the elements of the game. There are a lot of hidden object scenes, and you go back to the same scenes over and over again. Normally, that would be boring, but this game reminds me a bit of "Settlement Colossus" where you are repeatedly scavenging for brushwood or other useful items in the hidden object scenes.
The game leads you by the hand. It tells you what to do, but reads kind of like a graphic novel. You have to read everything, there is no speaking in the game so far. The English translation is not perfect--but I could figure everything out without any trouble. If you are new to games, you might have trouble figuring out what to do next. Just click on the yellow exclamation mark and be sure to read everything and do what the game says to do.
You get to build structures with the stuff you gather in the hidden object scenes, but the structures are predetermined (you have no creative control).
This game is NOT for everyone, because it is mostly hidden object scenes in a jungle island setting. You build stuff, (but I don't want to give any more details than that;). I do not know where the story is going, but I am interested in finding out the ending.
I will probably buy this game when my trial period is up. (But I will use a punch card reward.) The hidden object scenes are easy and pleasant. I am enjoying "figuring the game out". The game is odd and a bit challenging to follow at first--but I like finding a different sort of HOG.
I recommend this game!
Story driven rpg-adventure where guns and magic act together! Explore strange worlds, defeat monsters and complete quests.

I love this game, and I bought it as soon as the one hour demo was up. It is a match-3 game, but it has lots of extras--LOTS of extras. It is a lot like another favorite game of mine--Puzzle Quest. As in Puzzle Quest, you battle foes by matching wits with them in a match-3 game. Match 3 skulls and you damage your foe. Matching various colors of gems power up magic spells and special attributes of your armor and weapons. You obtain loot (weapons, armor, gold) as a reward for winning a "battle". It is all very complicated and chaotic, to be honest, and I hardly understand half of what is going on, but I still love the game play. Each "battle" is short and replayable, and you know how hard your foe is before you even pick a fight with them. It does make more sense as you go along, so I encourage any match 3 fans to give it a try.
I recommend this game!
