I finished the demo, and am really impressed by this game. I find the story line interesting, it's something where I want to see where it goes.
The puzzles have just the right amount of challenge to them without being overly frustrating.
The graphics are impressive, there are small details everywhere that I found interesting. For example, in the "psychologist's" office, there is a clock on the wall where the hands are just moving. Small details make this game.
The HOPS are different, not the same old just find things. You have to match in some places, I found it refreshing.
I'm really liking this TM game. It's a very unique premise. You are a little tiny village of people navigating through the world of the "giant" humans. It's different, and what you have to collect is not the same old thing. Nice game.
You've won an all expenses paid trip on-board a train to a winter lodge. That's where things start to go awry. I'm really enjoying it. I haven't finished the game yet, but, I find the story enjoyable, and the characters likable. It's not the creepy dark genre we've seen so much of. I find the mini games very challenging. I like the HO scenes. Unlike the other review, I had no problem finding items in them. I like this developer, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the story ends.
I really liked this game, the level of challenge was good, and the game play smooth. I liked the story also. The only thing I can complain about, and why I'm not giving it 5 stars was that it was really short. So, the content was really good, it didn't last long.

I'm not going to go into a ton of detail, other reviewers do that much better. I will say though, that I am loving this game. I played the demo, and it was a buy for me. The story is unique, and I'm finding I want to know what happens next.
The game play is just the right level of challenge for me. There are challenges at every turn, so, I wouldn't say it was a typical HO game, but, more of an adventure.
It's a recommended game! I like the graphics, and the music too, everything just clicks.
I enjoy this series, but, this one is not a buy for me. The workers move way too slowly, making it difficult to get 3 stars in a level. It doesn't matter if you try, and try again, you can't improve because the little guys just won't go any faster.
I love, love this game, however, as I play along on the higher levels, I'm finding it way too difficult to finish in time. I've had to replay levels multiple times. The mechanics of the game are perfect, everything is splendid. I'm going to have to change difficulty levels to continue playing, or frustration will win out.
I won't go into the game play, it's pretty much like any other TM game. I found the controls and some of the tasks to be very finicky. I found that it was practically impossible to get 3 stars even when you completed all tasks for the level.
The thing that made it a definite no for me was the story line. There was a ton of dialogue, and at times kind of a downer. I won't say depressing, but, not too uplifting.
So, although I love TM games, and glad to see more lately, this one is not for me.

I found it really hard to get more than one star. I have played TM games for decades, so, I am familiar with them. This one is really difficult to get more than one star on a level. There are the extra tasks that you have to do with your mouse that I think contributes to that. I have all the Emily games, and love them, but, this one is not a buy for me. I like a challenge, of course, but, I find this one over the top with everything you have to do to just get to one star on a level.
I'm not going to get into the game play, as there are several better reviewers than I who've already done that. I will say, that this game is so funny, and such a pleasure to play, I am really enjoying it. I really like TM games, and this one is one of the best. The music is pleasant, and goes with the game, and the characters and story line are exceptional. It was a buy for me for sure.
