I'm completely fascinated with this game..the developers have obviously put a lot of effort into creating it..
Everything is polished..from the graphics to the sound effects..
I especially love the voice-overs...they sound very professional and very fitting with the genre. The baddie has a very creepy voice in particular which goes exceptionally well with the storyline..
The storyline itself is based on some beloved characters and is pretty true to them..even down to the coughing of the main character...
The only beef I have is the amount of running around you have to do..there is a map, but if the map were clickable, allowing the players to travel straight to the location, I think I would've found this game perfect..
I haven't finished yet..but I bought the game before finishing the demo if that gives any indication of the quality.
By time I finished the demo I was hooked and I had to purchase the full game..
I haven't finished yet, and that's after playing for around 5 hours this afternoon. What a fabulous way to spend a lazy boxing day!
I love the hand drawn graphics - very well done and pretty, and the voice overs on the characters were lovely.
Plenty of HOS for fans of those, with objects that were crisp and clear....with those little extra steps I love. For example a "red swan" needs you to find a paintbrush and a can of red paint first...
The puzzles were a challenge for me without being impossible.
I adore the map in the game...it tells you where you need to be to accomplish something a click on the map takes you right there...
All in all this is a really great game, and I will be watching this developer with great interest!
I can't think of a single thing I don't like about this game.
If I were richer I would purchase the CE as well as this version just so I could play the bonus..but alas I'm not that rich lol
I loved the story, the graphics, the music, and the characters. The puzzles were a challenge without having to resort to using hints or the strategy guide every two seconds, and the HO scenes were crowded enough to be a challenge without being junk piles..

I love this game..the creativity of the puzzles alone is enough for me to buy it..
There is always a little surprise for you when you complete the puzzle..and the HO scenes have those little extras that make playing more fun..
The graphics are great..I loved the Egypt theme..I felt like Lara Croft lol I think the main character may have felt like her too (wink)
The only beef I have is the casual mode is far too easy..I like the odd hint, but it basically lead you by the hand..even showing you exactly what you needed to solve that puzzle.
I quickly changed to expert mode..which while more challenging, was still easy enough to be fun.
