This review is based on the demo. There are three modes of play; the hint button recharges quickly and is very helpful (casual mode). It seems as if there is a lot to do. There is a map which takes you where you want to go (which I really like). Not a lot of HOS and they are somewhat interactive. Puzzles are not too easy and not too hard (during the time I played the demo). Graphics are very clear. There is some dialog which you can't skip, telling about the current situation. I found this to be an entertaining game, and may buy it.
I recommend this game!

Don't like to be negative, but could only stand 6 minutes of the demo. You weren't even allowed to skip the tutorial, constant "helps" kept appearing. The music was corny. This may be a game for an 8 or 10 year old.
Don't bother!
I don't recommend this game.

Played approx. 15 minutes. Graphics and sound were ok. It appears as if there are a lot of HOGs, and the hint button only shows you an image of where the item is, and some are hard to find, button recharges slowly, and does tell or give suggestions on what to do next.
Wouldn't waste my time or money.
I don't recommend this game.

This review is based on the demo. Real actors (or at least one I've seen) are used. Didn't need any walkthrough, as things needing to be done were pretty obvious. Not a lot of HOS and are interactive, although sometimes items are a little hard to find. Seems there is a lot to do. I did use the hint button when didn't know where to go next. I don't know if I'll buy this or not, but thought it was a lot of fun. And, contrary to other reviews, I thought it was different than usual HOGs.
I recommend this game!

First, I agree with everyone who said the HOS were too dark. However, I really enjoyed playing this game, as it was so very different than the usual hidden object games. The puzzles were different and HOS were somewhat interactive. Did not like when the cursor stalled if I clicked more than 5 times.
I usually like more adventure-type games, but this was fun.
I recommend this game!

This game is different than the usual HOG and/or adventure games. Actors are real people. The voiceovers are a little bit odd, but not a problem. HOS are interactive and once all items are found, you are given a clue to find the last item. Most things were just common sense to solve. There is a map, and collectibles. Hint button charges fast, although I didn't use it much. This is based on the demo. There didn't appear to be a lot of HOS, but they were very clear and easy to find.
Not sure if I'll buy the CE, but will probably buy the SE.
I recommend this game!

Based on demo, which I played for 15 minutes so far. It's a different type of game. No HOS yet, which I like. Hints are helpful. Game starts out with woman in bed and she feels as if it's an out-of-body experience.
I'm not very good at writing reviews, but I do like this game and will probably buy it.
I recommend this game!

Could only play half of the demo. The game was putting me to sleep. May be a good game for children?
Most of it was going back and forth and finding objects. Often being told there wasn't enough power to run something.
I don't recommend this game.

I only played 10 minutes of this game, and I want it! They actually let you get to sort of know the characters before plunging the player into a HOS.
Graphics and sound are great. As I said, I can't say a lot about the game because didn't play very long. The hint button is helpful also. Not a very talented review, I know, but am happy BF got this one!
I recommend this game!

Played half of demo so far. While it is not my type of game, I found it to be fun. Enjoyed the HOS with finding what goes where. So much more fun than just finding random objects.
The hint button is very helpful. Don't know why others didn't like this game, but do agree a young girl would very much enjoy this.
I recommend this game!
