I loved this developer so I used two credits for a CE. Graphics wonderful. Great HOS. Loved Loved the story. Nice flow with great interactive map. Game was really short. I guess I need to play it at a harder level. I loved the casual game but maybe it is time to step it up a bit. I loved it except for the length.
I recommend this game!

I really liked the graphics and story on this one. I am a fan of science fiction. HOS were standard and items a bit small but great hint system. Puzzles directions were too vague and had to skip too many. Would like to have done them but some too difficult. Great length. Look forward to a sequel.
I recommend this game!

Back and Forth. Back and Forth. It made me dizzy. HOS were boring but easy. Puzzles were awful. Skipped them because they were boring. Story was interesting. Scenery was good. Love cats. HOS were reused way to often. Annoying when objects already found once appear again in the scene. Good length. Just OK.
I don't recommend this game.

Loved the interactive HOS. Much fun. Some of the puzzles needed better directions. Skipped too many. Story was good with live action actors. Hint system was excellent. Good fun.

It could have been good. Cons: penalty clicking, puzzles you could not skip, short, could not skip opening scene, hint refill was way too slow. Pro: pretty good story thus the 2 stars and some nice scenery.
I don't recommend this game.

Loved the story. Graphics a bit dreary. Puzzles were good and IHOS were good. I especially liked the hint button. When you clicked on it, it would show you where you needed to go next and jump to that location. Major Thumbs up. Live action characters always a plus.
I recommend this game!

Bought the CE which I hardly ever do but took advantage of a sale. Love this series so I knew what to expect. Nothing new but it flowed and was a good time.
I recommend this game!

Really enjoyed this one. IHOS were superb. Puzzles were easy but fun. The game just flowed and I enjoyed myself. Story was confusing and I even played the first one in this series. Not sure what happened but had fun getting to the end.

Loved the HOS. Having puzzles within the HOS is a trend I truly enjoy. Puzzles outside were easy but satisfying. Great story until the end. Ending was abrupt. More questions than answers. Some of the visuals were dreary but it was after WW 1 so it was appropriate. Love the setting.

The ending was very unsatisfying. I assume it is being set up for a sequel and the ending was not in the CE. Other than that the game was fun. Short on puzzles but good HOS. Visuals and graphics were good and I really enjoyed the story but the ending stank. This is the reason it is not a 5 star.
I recommend this game!
