I really liked this game; not hard, but not too easy. Addictive play for me that flowed smoothly with pretty graphics and story tied in just enough as a quick break in between.
I recommend this game!

Jewel Quest Solitaire
Riches and adventure await you in this sparkling version of tri-peaks solitaire.
Very well done; nice offshoot of Jewel Quest. It is a quality game, challenging (sometimes had to play the same level game a few times trying different strategies), but not overly brain damaging. Wild card strategy important, so fun. Enjoyed how they incorporated jewel quest in each. I figured it out, but I wish the help would have explained what each wild card type meant (maybe I missed it), important to strategy. Good twist on solitaire. Graphics nice too.
I recommend this game!

Spirit of Revenge: Cursed Castle Collector's Edition
Solve the mystery that spooked a young girl into silence!
This game has it all for me. Plenty of uniquely creative HOS, somewhat immediate use of inventory (which I require to enjoy game and keep it moving), map and hint movement if you need, story fine (story not real important to me but good graphics and ghost appearances for those who like). I was really impressed with the thought, work, and creativity that went into the HOS and mini-games. Great game!
I recommend this game!

Dreampath: The Two Kingdoms Collector's Edition
Your sister, the Queen, has fallen deathly ill. Now you must travel to a faraway kingdom to find the cure.
Beautiful graphics, cute story and cat, creative and clear HO scenes, creative and fairly immediate use of inventory. Good mini-puzzles and navigation flow. If a sequel was developed as well done as this, would purchase for sure.
I recommend this game!

Vacation Adventures: Park Ranger 2
Pinecreek Hills just keeps getting better! Help the Rangers find lost objects, clean up the park and spot the wildlife.
Nicely done, fun HOS and cute unique puzzles. The only thing I would change is letting the player know how many trash items are in a scene ahead of time, the same way you let the player know how many wildlife and other items are in a scene ahead of time; but, enjoyed very much, thank you!

Deadly Puzzles: Toymaker
A serial killer nicknamed “the Toymaker” is wreaking havoc on a sleepy town. Can the lead detective piece together clues left at the scene and stop him before he sets his sights on her?
I thought this game was cleverly done, simple, but not overly so, HO and puzzle fun, not brain-damaging or inventory mazing, but fun playful game if that is what you are looking for occasionally.
I recommend this game!

True Fear: Forsaken Souls Collector's Edition
What if everything you knew about your life, everything your family ever told you, turned out to be a lie?
it is refreshing to have a good balance of inventory, HOS, creativity, good map and help, fun but not brain damaging. Happy to pay a little more for well done, creative, fun games. Yes, storyline and graphics a bit dark, but not overly so. Obviously, appeal is in the eye of the beholder, but bought immediately after playing free trial.

Dangerous Games: Prisoners of Destiny
You came to the town of Brownville, Louisiana hoping to find a new job. But you weren't expecting to stumble upon a strange adventure in a world filled with beauty and danger!
Purchased after 60 minute trial. Even though I typically avoid games that accumulate inventory and have you relentlessly wandering around, this game has a wonderful refreshing balance and mix of hidden object scenes, mini-puzzles, entertaining animations (ie. magic animal). The inventory was fine in this game because the map and color guides and mix of HOS and puzzles with placing inventory make it fun and entertaining. I personally play the games for that purpose; if they get too brain damaging, not fun for me, gets old. I don't scrutinize story lines, not the reason I play, so story line here fun and a little different. Waited a long time for something like this to come along again. Pay attention to clues, shouldn't get stuck, plenty of help if needed, great game so far.

Shadow Shelter
Explore the abandoned house and search for the missing heir!
My review and purchase is to reward whoever determined that some of us out here want and enjoy plenty of HOS (and creative mini-puzzles), and minimal inventory. Still want the great, dark, fun storylines and scenes and graphics; but there are 2 distinct camps. Those who love HOS, creative clever mini-puzzles ie. original Madame Fate; and those who love tons of inventory and minimal HOS. So, thank you whoever you are for a new game with lots of HOS.

Mystery Case Files®: Fate's Carnival Collector's Edition
Trialed ahead of time (thank you), and was initially disappointed. BUT, the released version of the game a NICE SURPRISE; very creative, fun graphics. I am so grateful you added the Hint and Teleport, or the game would have been quite frustrating for me. I like that you don't have me stocking inventory relentlessly before I can use it. Good balance between HO, puzzles, and inventory. It is obvious extra development effort expended on little things creating cute surprises throughout, good job. Fun puzzles and play.
