Based on the Demo.
Right from the very beginning, this game has beautiful visuals, the characters and locations are beautifully drawn. The graphics are so well done it is amazing. The soundtrack is excellent. The music and special effect sounds are great. The voices are easy to understand and appropriate for each character, from the fearless heroine to the whining sister.
The puzzles and mini games are interesting and fun, except for a few I had to skip because they were so time consuming and in my opinion, very complicated. The instructions for the puzzle games were easy to understand and very clear as to what the objective was.
The hidden object scenes were fun, fun, fun. I enjoyed each one.
This is an amazing, adventurous game with plenty of hidden object scenes and mini-puzzles. The story line is interesting with the Demo ending in a real cliffhanger.
It was an immediate buy for me.

The characters were very unique. The graphics were bright, clear, and well drawn. The scenes were very well done.
The music was very nicely done. Voice overs were excellent with some of the voices being very unique.
Some of the mini puzzles were pretty challenging. The hidden object scenes included morphing objects, mini-puzzles, and fragmented objects.
There were morphing objects and collectibles in every scene.
I didn't like the story line. It was too discombobulated for me. It was all over the map and I just couldn't enjoy the game, even with all the good things going for it.
It was a no-buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoyed this SE game. There were 4 types of hidden object games; 1. the dialogue type where I had to find the objects from the key words highlighted in the dialogue 2. the picture type where I had to find objects where the clues were silhouettes 3. the list type which I enjoyed the most and 4. fragmented hidden object pieces to make the object. The hidden object games were interactive with morphing objects in many of them.
The mini puzzles were a lot of fun, some of them very puzzling.
Graphics were great. The soundtrack was excellent, with eerie music and excellent easy to understand voice overs.
The story line was great. It took place in two time periods, with a portal to connect them. Objectives were easy to follow.
It was an immediate buy for me.
I recommend this game!

This hidden object game was a lot of fun. I had a little stone dog with green eyes named Sheriff to help me in my travels and the hint/skip button was a cute little character. The hidden object scenes were well done. I don't care for the dialogue ones, where one of the characters is relating an incident and I have to find the highlighted items. I much prefer the list type. Both are in this game.
The mini puzzles are varied, from relatively easy to relatively hard to complete. All were very well done, with easy to follow instructions.
I loved this game and it was an immediate buy for me. The graphics, art, and animation were first class. The soundtrack was fabulous with beautiful music and well done voice overs. There were many interesting locations to check out. The characters and scenes were very detailed and interesting.
This game is a lot of fun.
I recommend this game!

This game is the bomb. The graphics were great: some were bright and beautiful, some dark and creepy. They were all very well done. The soundtrack was clear, appropriately creepy when it needed to be. The instructions were generally very clear and easy to understand.
The hidden object scenes were fun. There were crystal apples to collect that added to the fun and challenge of the game. It was filled with great mini puzzles. Some of them were very challenging. I had to skip a few because they were taking me to long to finish, but this was an immediate buy for me, so I am determined to go back and complete them all.
The game was extremely creative and original. There was something to do every minute. Some of the items that I found had very creative and original uses, which added to the fun.
This is a five star masterpiece that I found very enjoyable to play.
I recommend this game!

This was a fun little game. The graphics were well drawn, nice and bold and bright. The hidden object scenes ranged from easy to challenging. Mini games were a lot of fun, some of them a little too challenging for me. I had to skip 2 of them. Still can't figure out the piano mini-game. The soundtrack was great. Voices were crisp, clean, and easily understandable. The background music was subtle and very pleasant.
The story line was great. It was interesting and original: a sculptor who makes stone statues to replace lost loved ones. The statues come to life and become the loved ones that were gone.
It was an immediate buy for me.
I recommend this game!

Based on the Demo. In the very beginning of the game, there was a lot of hoopla and excitement but it died down quickly because the characters were not developed at all and it was very hard to have any sympathy or compassion for them. I found all of them to be lackluster and one dimensional.
The game itself was choppy and discombobulated. The mini-puzzles were very simplistic and the hidden objects games, if you could call them that, were just too too simple.
This one is a " no - buy" for me. I'm going to demo the Collector's version to see if that is any better.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on the Demo. This game was phenomenal. The interactive hidden object games were excellent. It was filled with fun, sometimes complicated, and always challenging, mini-games. There were artifacts and coins to find and collect. The tasks were very creative. I give the graphics and music an A+. There was just enough eeriness and spookiness to keep the game interesting for every second of game play. The special glasses for anomalies added to the interesting aspects of the game.
The storyline was of great interest to me. As in every emergency, the police are the first line of defense, and this game was no exception. Even in the face of death and other great danger, the police were tireless in their pursuit of a remedy.
One of the most interesting and fun things in the game so far was a hamster powered battery charger. It was so creative and so much fun.
I highly recommend this to all hidden object lovers. I couldn't buy this game fast enough.
I recommend this game!

This is a cute little hidden object game. It is worth the $2.99 Daily Deal price. The graphics are nice and bright, sound quality very good, hidden object and mini games are okay. Storyline is just okay. It's not a spectacular hidden object game but it is fun and entertaining and I would recommend it to all hidden object game lovers.
I recommend this game!

This game is the bomb. It was amazing and wonderful to play a Blue Tea Hidden Object game again. The graphics, music, games, hidden object games, everything was so perfect about this extraordinary game. And the collectible morphing objects were the icing on the cake. My review is based on the 90 minute trial. I bought it as soon as the trial ended. I couldn't buy this game fast enough. Thank you Big Fish and Blue Tea. This game is a keeper. I liked everything about it, everything.
I recommend this game!
