There was no fun for me in playing this game. I found it to be quite slow, boring and the graphics were so depressing. Go pick up items, play a lot of puzzles and find the exit 🙄 😴
Similar games in this genre 🚪🚪 are much better. I appear to be the odd reviewer and even though I don't find this game worth my time, it might be for you. I'll be nice and rate it a 3 but I can't recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing the demo. I had no issues downloading and 1 glitch in the very first scene but the game played smoothly for an hour after that.
This is a simple fun hidden object game with fun mini games/puzzles in between. The game offers different levels of challenge. The graphics were fine but not perfectly clear in some scenes. I really enjoyed the music, very calming. I can't attest to where the storyline is going based on demo but I didn't find the conversation to be annoying or longwinded.
I will be purchasing this game. I am really enjoying this type of HO game.
I recommend this game!

Nice to see Richard back though his appearances are few. We have been asking for his return so TY. A shift toward the older versions of this game with more "ghost" appearances would make this a 5 star series again.
I enjoyed playing the game (demo) and didn't find any fault or problems with the game play. Other than the challenge level, I found all other categories of the game to be above average.
I love that the HO scenes are truly Hidden Object puzzles and even though I am not a fan of the mini games, most of these were quite fun.
I agree with others regarding the challenge in game play. Most of your found objects are used in the same scene which requires no thought process by the player and could make the game seem tedious or boring.
This HOPA game is better than the ones that have been released over the past year but it still isn't up to the standard of the older HOPA games. Sadly I think those excellent HOPAs of old are a thing of the past and today's HOPAs are what we are stuck with.
I recommend playing this game. But based on what other reviewers who played the entire game said about it not being CE worthy, too short, I would only recommend purchasing with club store points or with a good sale.
I recommend this game!

Based on demo, this was an ok game. Not very exciting or mentally challenging. Puzzle heavy. There are other games in this exact genre that are far better and more fun. The boy is rather annoying, thankfully you can X out of conversations. I have no plans to purchase this game. Play the demo and decide for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.

Just give it up DO games. The more games you put out the worse they get. When I first started playing on BFG, Domini (DO) was my favorite developer. Problem is they haven't grown or gotten any better. Years later their games are still the same cookie cutter HO games. Playing a DO game (and most other HO games here on BFG) is just like brushing your teeth every morning...boring.
P.S. get rid of the stars...that would be a welcome change to your games.
I don't recommend this game.
Cozy up to puzzles in the comfort of your home!

There is a major glitch so DONT buy until fixed. Fun, very easy and relaxing game. But first scene on page 2 (swimming pool scene) you click and remove the items from the scene but they are not removed from the list.. Because the items are still showing on the list, you can't finish the scene and progress in the game. You're stuck.
If they fix the game, this would be a sale buy for me.

Same Domini game format, just different scenes. Nothing new here to keep your attention and make it fun to play. And get rid of the star thing, please.

Maybe the evil twin can fix this game because it is an utter failure. D.U.M.B. No challenge, ridiculous storyline, horrible graphics. And Daemon is very very annoying. There are errors in the game and the guide is a hot mess. This used to be a fun series but no more. Did the developer just throw this together quickly to get a game out? Did they not play the game before releasing it to check for errors or did they just not care? And why are people giving this game 4 and 5 stars???
I couldn't play more than 20 minutes of the demo and had to quit. Total flop.

Their game play and storylines just aren't cutting it anymore. But they aren't the only ones...no developers are putting out games worth a crap . And I totally agree about the stars...waste of time and no one likes them, so get rid of them. What I continue to like about Domini Games is the ability to set skip/recharge to zero. And I still enjoy all of the extra interaction they put in their scenes. I find myself clicking everything to see what happens. But I would not recommend buying this game. Play the free demo and wait to see what comes out tomorrow.
NOTE* There is a glitch/broken area in the front room of the sheriffs office. On the back wall, I removed the broken lamp but it won't let me pick up the paperweight and clay. Now I cannot move forward in the game. This has happened before in other Domini Games.
I don't recommend this game.

Enjoyed playing (demo on Zen level) but pretty typical for this genre with very little to no variety. There are other games like this that are much better. Graphics were clear but boring and I assume on a harder level the challenge is greater. I use a trackpad and as you moved around, the cursor would go off the screen making clicking impossible or incorrect. Annoying but game still playable with some extra effort. I won't be purchasing this game (and don't recommend purchasing) but do suggest playing the demo....it's free. I gave it 3 stars (not 2) as it was enjoyable for the most part.
I don't recommend this game.
