Game looks good at first glance. I like match-3 for mindless play sometimes and this one also has HOP's. I like that! But...in HOP, if you don't find an item within a few seconds, it shows you where one is!! Plus, there is no option for non-timed play. Will not be buying this one.
I don't recommend this game.

I usually get these kind of games, even if I don't love them, because I have free game coupons to use. But this game is not user-friendly or fun! The skip takes WAY too long to charge. You have to drag items - can't just click and use it. The "dialogue" is awful - especially for the main character. I usually ignore that aspect anyway, but when the characters would talk, there is not a skip option. Not gonna get this one. With just a little "more" it could've been a nice diversion for a couple of hours. Too bad.
I don't recommend this game.

I quit after the 1st 15 minutes - too many unnecessary cutscenes...and no skip button to get past them! Cartoonish visuals - flat and uninteresting. Music was ok. Reminds me of ones when I first came to BFG - before visuals had real depth - and COLOR. Won't be buying this one.
I don't recommend this game.

OMG...it took me forever just to get out of the game. Sooooo much needless conversation! I could get past the cartoonish cut scenes but oh my goodness - all that conversation! I finally had to ctrl/alt/delete to get out of the game. Was initially glad to have it set in 1950 and the storyline was decent, but 10 minutes of conversation? Don't bother. Horrible!!!!!
I don't recommend this game.

Very short. Too much cutscreen stuff. Couldn't get it going faster...just a skip option. Shouldn't be a CE - just wasn't good enough. Bonus chapter even worse. Pretty, though!
I don't recommend this game.

Made the same mistake others did. (I wasted a 'free game'!) This just might be the worst game I've played. Clicking on inventory item very often took you out of close up. Wandered around aimlessly...hint was no help at all. Like the others who reviewed, I love a challenging game but this was just frustrating.

This game was awful. Having said that, I did use a free game coupon to buy it. When I went back to play after the trial ended, I had one more thing to do and the game was done! Don't bother. I was bored and played it while waiting for repairman to get to my house. Very simplistic...graphics were uninteresting. I could go on, but, really...skip the interaction between characters and you'll be done in the trial time.
I don't recommend this game.

Only took 2 minutes for me to uninstall:
1. Ferret! Annoying.
2. Last time I play a game where you can't lock the inventory!! That popping up and down drives me crazy - very distracting!
I don't recommend this game.

This game was way too short. What a waste of money. And I will seriously consider not buying any more games that don't let you lock the inventory. Drives me crazy not to have it stationery!
