This is a cute little game, love the building and researching and having to sell items...Love the little quests they throw at you throughout, some of them have to be done in a certain amount of time.
Finished the demo :'( so off to purchase the full game :-)
I recommend this game!

It is nice to finally have a time management game that you don't make expert the first time you play it..yes the graphics may need a little work, and yes the sounds may be a little repetitive, and yes the story line is an age old one, but there is nothing more frustrating starting a game (in the demo) and finishing half of it, all levels as expert, before the demo ends.
This game is hard and makes you think, and restart levels you didnt get expert in to finish the game properly...Thankyou BFG for a challenging time management game!!
I recommend this game!

So i had to buy this game with 10 minutes left in the demo, because i finally worked out how to use the map! and finally a game that makes you use pen and paper to get around, I'm loving this game, except the part where you get covered in it! and you run around trying to find the hose to get cleaned up before you get fined! LOL ..yes i got fined....Great game!
I recommend this game!

As others have said this game goes on for ages! Just as you think it is finished you end up somewhere else with more to do.
I can't think of anything negative about this game at all!!
BUY IT!!!
This is now my favourite game :-)

I played this as the demo, and found that it was quite boring. I don't mind the odd HOG, but the loading up and the time between games was too long, and the constant popups with their advice was over the top. Others may like this, but I didn't.
I don't recommend this game.

I didn't mind the demo of this game, graphics were good, no voice over so just the text for those that don't like reading.
having to go back and forth between scenes picking things up from here to use there and vice versa, but I don't mind that at all.
Music wasn't annoying, neither were normal sounds thoughout the game, but you do have the option of turning down the music or sounds.
Puzzles I thought were quite tricky, If I were to purchase the game I would delete my saved game and start from the beginning as I skipped the games that took me a little while to solve, only due to the time limit of the demo, and attempt to do them without skipping. Little bit of hand holding if you choose so, although your "friend" the robot gives you tips i suppose you could say, not sure if he does when you choose the non-hand holding option.
I am considering purchasing this, because the demo just ended and I was like NoOOooOOooOo!!!
I recommend this game!

I thought I would try the demo of this game, left the game to tend to what they call "Real Life" came back and had only 11 minutes left....Yeah that wasn't happening...HAD to purchase because I HAVE to finish it, i'm still in the middle of it as I write this, and still have a few rooms to open up, you won't be disappointed in this..Now if you will excuse me I have a game to finish :p
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed what i got to play, a bit of adventure with puzzles and a bit of HO in there too, I was a bit disappointed when it ended as it was the demo, and was going to purchase the game until i read the previous review, I like my games to last a little longer than 2 hours as I am one to play 'em till I either nearly pass out from exhaustion or am dragged off to bed by my husband :p And I can guarantee that if I had purchased it tonight, it would of been finished before bed....In saying that, I would still recommend it, just for the mix of puzzles, adventure and HO
I recommend this game!

There needs to be more games like this!! The graphics were beautiful, even my husband who plays online war games commented on the graphics!! I was so taken by this game I lost track of time...a number of times...(2am bed when kids have school the next day is not good) If they were to bring out number 3 so we could see what happens to Kate Walker, I would seriously buy it!! Thankyou for bringing us a game that you get lost in :-)
I recommend this game!

Part 1...does that mean even if i was to purchase the game....that's all there would be???
I downloaded the demo and finished this with 17 minutes left. and reading other reviews....i'm assuming that this is it...i can understand having part 1 as a tester/teaser then having the rest of the game available as a full version...but seriously guys...dont waste your money or your game credits on this one
I don't recommend this game.
