Based on one-half of demo, found this to be a fun game, although mostly for children. There appears to be a lot to do. There are morphing objects and "achievements." Didn't see a map. The HOS are not always the same. In one, you changed the magic mirror to the color of the object you wanted to find. There is a little dragon and an owl "helper," who can get a bit annoying. Lots of dialog, which can be speeded up. I, for one, would like to see some good scary games more often. Too much fairy tale stuff gets old fast. (my opinion only).
I recommend this game!

Played the demo, which only lasted approx. 45 minutes. Found the game to be fun (a little easy, but fun). Liked the HOS because they were find and use, not just going through a bunch of junk. Would probably have purchased it, but read from another reviewer, how short the game is. To me, that's a big factor.
Not sure if I'd recommend this game or not?

Playing demo lasted approx. 5 minutes. Definitely a child's game. Starts out with mom decorating her child's BD cake - boring...
Know I should have played longer, but couldn't take it.
I don't recommend this game.

The more I play this game, the more I enjoy it. Since there is no walkthrough, you feel good about your progress. The fight scenes could have been done without, but can be skipped. As others have said, this is strictly an adventure game. I feel a person can only play so many HOG's.
I recommend this game!

Know I'm in the minority, but found this game far too simplistic and, also, somewhat boring. Do not like to give negative reviews, but definitely did not like it. Played almost entire demo. If I were desperate and the SE came out, I'd probably use a free game.
Not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on demo: Thought this was a wonderful game for young girls. HOS are interactive. The comments and attitudes of the kids brings back memories when I was a child. Thought this one was better than the first, which I thought was TOO sweet and corny. Didn't finish the demo, but probably will. Won't buy it because I'm not a young girl!
I recommend this game!

I played approx. 45 minutes. Really enjoyed the atmosphere; hints were helpful. Some good puzzles. The biggest drawback was too many HOS. I'd keep clicking (no penalty) just to get them over and actually try to enjoy the plot. Why do so many game developers use HOS so much? Ruined it for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Only played about 10 minutes. Way too many HOS. However, did want to write a review, because if anyone still has this game on their computer, try annoying the ferret! It's hysterical. He has about 7 or 8 comments he makes, which are funny.
Also, don't know what kind of accent the characters have, but it seems strange. Again, children might enjoy this.
I don't recommend this game.

Played 20 minutes, spending a lot of it on one (of, it appears) to be way too many HOS. Couldn't figure out the last part of the HO, even with the hint. As someone else mentioned, you do have to click on everything in order to find out what to do. Tedious. I don't like to write bad reviews, but when they deserve them...
I don't recommend this game.

I lasted 5 minutes. Was hoping I could write a positive review; unfortunately, no. Games are supposed to be fun, not irritating!
I don't recommend this game.
