This is a dismal excuse for a Hidden Object Game. It's simply nothing but puzzles with a few obligatory HOS thrown. Please, put this game in the Puzzle section. What's up, developers -- have you forgotten the purpose of a Hidden Object Game? Lately, these games have been one disappointment after another, and this one is no exception.
My review is based on playing the demo only because I won't be wasting my money on the CE. If you like puzzle after puzzle after puzzle, this game has them. I personally find them annoying at best. I play hidden object games for the hidden objects - not puzzles - and this game is seriously lacking in hidden object scenes. It should be in the puzzle genre and not hidden object. So very, very disappointed.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game, and it's probably one of the very best to come along in years!!! This was a refreshing take on a classic tale with beautiful graphics, a detailed map, and teriffic Hidden Object Scenes.
I enjoy detective stories such as murder mysteries, etc., and thought this would be fun to play. It's rather slow moving with silly gimmicks such as an aura finder. I was unable to complete the Bonus Chapter due a glitch. Hidden Object Scenes are my favorite thing about Hidden Object Games -- not Puzzle Scenes so it would be nice if the developers would offer the Match 3 option for puzzles rather than HOS. This game had potential, but did not meet it. If this is going to be a series, I hope the developers make improvements.
