After playing through the demo I knew that it was a must buy! Rather than the same old HO games that we see daily on here, this offers something different. There are many levels of different puzzles during the demo, that makes you use your brain rather than straining your eyes to find an object hidden. Try the demo, you won't be disappointed. I wasn't and wanted more.
I recommend this game!

Ever since the 1st MCF came out, I have been in search of a game that come close to the standards of what a game should be. I was so happy with this purchase after buying the full version, and was even more ecstatic that this wasn't a "Collectors Edition" that required 2 game credits.
The visuals were great, at times it looked like the picture would come popping through the screen of the computer. The story line was great, something that I haven't seen before. There were only about 3 HO screens but it was not the normal search and find, it was combined into several puzzles and I liked that it was something different.
I give this game 2 thumbs up. BF needs to bring more games like this!

I would like to start off by saying that I wish I would have waited to purchase this game until I read some reviews. The HO scenes were extremely easy, the puzzles were far from challenging, and the game was WAY too short. I figured the demo was just a tease and that it would only get better. I finished in less than 2 hours and that is not normal for me....
I don't recommend this game.

This is actually my first review and I was so disappointed in this game that I was compelled to write one.
I have played quite a few HO games in the past 3 years and I have never ran across a game as confusing as this. There is no direction in this game as to use the objects that you may have in inventory, or what to do next. I'm pretty good with puzzles and remembering what tool I would need to complete the objective but this game does not provide that. One puzzle in particular (books in the dungeon) has absolutely nothing to do with the storyline and you wouldn't have even known to do anything if I wasn't moving the mouse around the room to find SOMETHING to move forward.
IMO I think this game was just thrown together and the creators were just thinking of places to throw in some puzzles. It's too bad, I thought that this game had quite the potential but in the end it falls very short
I don't recommend this game.
