This is a fun game but wrong catagory as there are no Hidden Object Scenes. The graphics are gorgeous, the puzzles are fun with a lot of variety. And this game has the coolest curser I've seen!
While the hint button is sometimes vague, the game carries its own SG.
With the quality of the graphics, if there were HOSs, I'd buy this in a heartbeat.
Gamers who like less (or no) HOSs will love this one.

Fun variation on Match 3. Very colorful with an asian theme. The music is very soothing and I needed it! The play is fast and it is not always easy to get from one level to another.
I recommend this game!

This is a beautiful, uncomplicated mahjong game. The music is very soothing. It's one of those "let me escape from the trials and tribulations of the day" games where you can relax and just play mahjong.
There is a contest aspect to it. The goal is to gain 6 levels of ability, starting with "Blooming Lotus" and ending with "Grand Master." There are also 12 trophys to be earned.

Graphics are beautiful. Story line is good. But this is not a HOG. Not my cup of tea.

I finally found a Dream Day I want to buy! The mini-games are fun. The story lines better than just sappy. And the HOS are beautiful, crisp and appealing. I got the biggest kick out of the Blue Birds of Happiness. They look like little punk rockers!
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed the trial hour of this game but I am not inclined to purchase.
The graphics are appealing to the eye except in the HOSs. Then the scenes are like dark photos, not line drawings. The items are not easy to find but using the hint button gives a small highlighted window showing the item.
There is a map laid out like a flow chart. The map shows the locations of the story and which location you are in but nothing else, not actions to be done or finished locations.
There is one feature that I really like: the hint button, outside of HOSs, gives access to the strategy guide. Very cool.

More frustrating than fun. The HOSs, while beautiful, are too few and far between. There are more shaky videos and running around than playing for my tastes. This is more an adventure game than a HOG.
I don't recommend this game.

Opening with Rimsky-Korsakov's "Night on Bare Mountain" is brilliant! The music sets the tone and promises a level of quality that I believe is met in the game. The graphics are beautiful. The items in the HOSs are in agreement with the time period of the story. A thoroughly pleasurable experience playing this game.
I recommend this game!

This is a fun game. The action is evenly spaced between puzzles, HOS and finding items to move the game along. The puzzles are great. I especially like the skull lock. And the HOSs are yummy! Lots of different textures and materials - metal, organics, glass.
The strategy guide is readily available which I find very helpful since I don't always know which way to go next.
And the music is spooky, dark and edgy. Fits very nicely with the story.

This is a yummy, spooky game! The description says, "Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game." I say, "Adventure Puzzle Hiddle Object game."
Looking for tools to progress through a game seems to be the primary action here. My personal taste is for hidden object screens. This game has beautiful graphics, so the HOS are a special treat. There just weren't enough to satisfy me.
If you like adventure first, this is the game for you.
