I was a little apprehensive when I started playing this after reading so many people had problems with it but it played perfectly for the 51 minute trial when I stopped to buy it.
The graphics and artwork are very good, the story is interesting, and the game play is just enough different that it doesn't feel like a typical HOG with some interactive bits and pieces in each scene.
I don't like the repetitive music and some of the items were very difficult for me to find but those were rare. All in all, a good value for a coupon purchase.
I recommend this game!

Excellent story, the plot to this would make a good big budget movie. The graphics are photo-realistic and probably the best I've ever seen. The acting is relatively good, the voice acting is very good, the sound effects and music are good and the puzzles and HOs are very well done. All in all, another very good game from these developers
I recommend this game!

... and play longer than 5 minutes. The mechanics are different than any other Match 3 I've ever played, and to be fair, this isn't really an M3 game.
As someone said in the forum, this plays kind of like mahjong, with 'line of sight' matches and as the game progresses, it becomes more challenging.
The graphics are clean and bright, and the game play is quite clever with mini-games in between such as a very simple jigsaw puzzle and a rather challenging find the difference. I'm sure those will become harder as the game progresses.
I can't believe the horrible reviews for this game, most of them are terribly unfair since the person barely played for a few minutes. Like I said, try to keep an open mind and give it a little time to figure out. I think it's worth it.
I recommend this game!

The graphics and method of storytelling are unique and attractive and the game play requires some thought. I like the minimalist dialog, the thought balloons with drawings instead of words overcomes the language barrier.
All in all, an interesting, clever and fun game.
I recommend this game!

The developers have managed to merge an interesting and compelling story with beautiful graphics, very well done voice acting, good music/sound effects and excellent game play.
The hidden object scenes take a little getting used to since they're completely different from the latest run-of-the-mill blue-tinted games, but there's nothing that isn't completely visible. I did have to use hints a few times and then felt foolish when the object was revealed in plain sight.
What I particularly liked about this was the fact that I didn't have to wander around confused about the use of inventory items. I tend to forget where/why an item is needed but this followed a logical story that didn't require a lot of back and forth from the same location for one action at a time.
This is such a beautiful, dreamlike game. Very well done.
I recommend this game!

After seeing several reviews commenting how this is a tedious remake of other, better games, I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring.
Yeah, the opening has been seen in other games before but it's what happens afterwards that makes this worth your time and money. I've watched sci fi movies that weren't this creative and interesting. The game play is a whole heck of a lot of fun, the puzzles are very challenging and I really liked the gritty look to the artwork. Even the sounds and music were well done.
I have a short attention span but this game kept me interested for hours and hours. And there's still more to play. This is well worth you money and I highly recommend it.
I recommend this game!

This is more of an adventure game with some interactive hidden object scenes thrown in. The artwork is attractive, the music is very good yet unobtrusive, the ambient noises are well done and the plot is actually very intelligent.
If you can overlook some odd word choices in the hidden object scenes and some slightly stilted dialog blocks, you might enjoy this game. It's a little rough around the edges but I think the development team has shown some originality and talent with this.
I recommend this game!
