HOS were good. Puzzles were few and far between. I enjoyed the visuals. I would like to have seen more puzzles. Hint system was great and I especially liked when it told me an area was cleared. However, the ending was abrupt and unclear. Story was unclear the whole time. I recommend buying it as a game on sale.
I recommend this game!

This is NOT a hidden object game. Pure adventure. I really like having a little HOS in my games so this was disappointing. Everything was just OK. I like adventure games but when I am paying the collector's price and it is listed as a hidden object game, it was disappointing. Because of it's vastness, the map needed to be interactive. It got tedious going back and forth. Story was OK but confusing.
I don't recommend this game.

Great interactive HOS. Some outstanding puzzles and some tedious. Graphics and storyline were sub par. I enjoyed the HOS so much that I enjoyed the game even with the drawbacks.
I recommend this game!

Loved the story, graphics, interactive map, puzzles. Everything you could hope for. HOS were pretty easy. They could have been more challenging but it was just pure fun.
I recommend this game!

Loved the HOS with the different steps and puzzles. Made the game very interesting. Also, being able to adjust the levels on hints and skips was fantastic. You are able to adjust the game to your style somewhat. Story was good. The visuals were a little blurry and dreary. Of course, the subject matter was not all light and happiness but the visuals were indistinct.
I recommend this game!

Wow. I was going along enjoying the game. Wondering where the HOS were and bam, the end. Really short. Some of the earlier HOS were different and fun but they were few and far between. The story was really good until the end and bam no ending. No explanation. Puzzles were decent. I only recommend if you have a credit to use.
I recommend this game!

I really like the fill in the circle with objects games so this one was right up my alley. Puzzles were fun and doable. Story was confusing but interesting. I just had a good time playing this one.
I recommend this game!

Glad I only paid the low price on this one. Too dark. Story confusing. Way too much back and forth with no map. Thanks goodness the hint button was fast. Puzzles few and not fun. HOS were small and hard to see. Graphics dark and drab. Not a fan of this one.
I don't recommend this game.

Really enjoyed this one. I love dogs so loved the story and all the dogs. Dogs looked a little funny but did not take away from the game. Some of the puzzles did not make sense but I just used the skip button. Just a real fun game.
I recommend this game!

Everything was average. Puzzles could have used some work. HOS were unimaginative. Too short. Lots of back and forth. There was a Map but sometimes it was not that helpful. The story was decent but the french accents were terrible. Glad I got it on sale. I only recommend getting this one on sale or using a credit.
I recommend this game!
