Well, that demo is certainly a new challenge for my copywriting skills...mmmm....er....uh It is frankly all I can say about the game as the navigation was dire and spoilt any enjoyment straight away.
The clicking was galore and frankly unless you would have had invested in an expensive mouse you would develop ergonomic issues...
Not for me

As soon as the first mini-puzzle was thrown upon me during the demo, I knew I was in for a bad trip and ! was not disappointed: mediocre on all scores, I just found the the storyline acceptable.
Not for me I am afraid
It would certainly be a beginner's cup of tea.
Played the demo about 15mn on windows 7 with the sound off

I played the demo on a PC/Windows 7/Sound off/playing in "difficult/advanced mode"
I only played for 20mn or so because I was not having fun, purely and simply bored to go through the motion of a game I have the feeling I played hundreds of time before.
Anyway, the graphics style: ok....ish, nothing to write home about though, the level of challenge was dire: it felt as if the puzzles were coming on a conveyor belt and I dealt with them in a very mechanical way, just like that, no brain activity was necessary and/or needed....sigh!
The storyline was half decent ( not novel though)...as you can guess I will not purchase it and I think it would suit better the "Beginners" group if any.
Not my cup of tea and it could be someone else's

A huge tahnk you to BF for presenting a game like that.
For me it is a perfect score on all aspecst of the game and I know that I will not be popular because I can see folks disliking exactly what I liked so here it goes:
(After playing the demo to the end on Windows 7 with sound off)
I enjoyed it so so much: I felt the pace was good, I enjoyed the fact that it was out of the ordinary, challenging me non-stop, with a sinister storyline, very atmospheric!
I loved the graphics because the cartoon like character being plain and simple in their drawings made you focus better on the tasks and that clean, crisp style of drawing added also something sinister in the story where you feel you have to beat the system...loved it!
The level of challenge!! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh....at long last! At last :no indication, no clues apart from the comments on the screen when you click wrongly to point you in a gentle way back to the task or where you should go next, heaven for experts...it made me think twice before wasting time to move the character between location A and B so thank you so so so much for that.
Storyline: absolutely great, theme in tune with conspiracy theory, big companies having the power etc, modern storyline with a nice twist on the time travel device which helps to resolve the challenges.
I have purchased it... I cannot wait until I can resume playing it, I suspect my joy won't last for hours and hours as it will probably be a "shortish" game, not sure....WOWWWWWWWW!

Would suit better experts or high intermediate players

I played the demo until the end so at least this is an indication I didn't fall asleep in between two clicks.
Played on Windows 7, with sound off!
To my great surprise I enjoyed playing the demo: the pace was good, the navigation was good, the challenges were galore with lots of variations on different tasks, the characters were good.
Graphics were fine and the storyline was also fine.
The challenges even in the hardest mode were just OK, in the sense they were rather simple to achieve, I didn't feel I had to think very hard or use any particular skills to overcome them.
The game would suit me just fine in SE (Standard Edition) because of the lack of real difficulty....
I suspect the Collectors Edition would be just right for intermediate players
I recommend this game!

Big sigh!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, right now I am going through a mixture of mixed feelings: annoyed, bored, disappointed, irritated...you name it!
Ok, right now I am going through a mixture of mixed feelings: annoyed, bored, disappointed, irritated...you name it!
I have played 15mn of the demo on windows 7 without the sound, so here it goes:
I didn't enjoy playing the demo, it was not fun, I did it whilst my coffee break lasted, it didn't enticed me to go back for more. Sorry I couldn't help it but I didn't enjoy it!
Visual side of things: sighhhhhhhhh! Same boring graphics, same old recycled characters, same droopy eyes...just depressing!
Level of challenge: in the hardest mode...???? What challenge? Apart from one mini game that looked promising at the start with the squares on the board, the rest is really not rocket science and yet, once more we go through the usual "find a key to open a door, or a lock, or else that requires a key to access the content"...what an insult to the players skills and neurons!
The storyline.....ahhhhhhhhhh! I honestly cannot recall the number of princesses that I saved out of the fate of being forced into a marriage to an evil person for whatever reason! Could we have, for a change, some modern storylines? Even if you want to keep the princess theme I am sure there must be some other ways to make us dream and rescue people virtually. Women in this series are often portrayed as weak creatures crying nonstop, please get real!
I don't recommend this game.
It's the end of the world... at least in Oakville.

After playing 30mn of the demo, I suddenly felt " I cannot be bothered any longer"
Graphics were not that great and the cinematic passages were very pixelated, the challenges were weak even in hard mode, the storyline was dire...absolutely nothing original, nothing new, nothing enticing...nothing to write home about!
I will not be purchasing it.

The only reason I downloaded & played most of the demo was because of the promise of "fantastic puzzles"...which never materialised whilst playing for 40mn!
Everything in that game was just OK, nothing was really enticing, it would suit beginners/intermediate best in my mind.
I don't recommend this game.

...playing that kind of demo. Going over the full fan like spectrum from sheer boredom to annoyance.
So based on 15mn demo without sound on windows 7 system:
- Fun factor: what fun factor?
- Visual quality: What quality? What graphic novelty? More characters with droopy eyes so you get that they are "really sad"
-Level of challenge: what challenge? Even in the hardest mode it is like taking a candy from a baby, are we being taken for granted?
-Storyline: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....to have or not to have a half decent storyline that is the question...in this case it feels like recycling old stories again and again without bringing any twist in it, the thing is after a few minutes you cannot be bothered about the truth or what happened to the characters or will that boy see his dad again, I know it sounds tough but I have just enough of these games.
At the end of the day, I won't even bother playing demos of futures games that look and feel like that, one glance at the illustrating picture and I will be not even in the equation, life is too short and the budget is tight.
