This game is really charming. At times it is very child-like and I get a kick out of this. Brings back very old memories! I love the graphics and that is initially what attracted me most during the trial.
The mini-games are fun and not just 'challenging' which sometimes means to me impossible - because they are too much work and all I want to do is have fun and relax when I play games.
As well the mini-games are varied and unique - not just the same old ones untangling wires, etc. Very creative.
It is one of those games that just keeps on giving more and more as you go along deeper and deeper into it.
I am really glad I bought it and I am sure I will play it many times.
I recommend this game!

This is a fantastic game. It is one of those that just keeps on keeping on -
It is fairly 'helter-skelter' - go here, do this, go there, get that, go back -
but it is very intuitive - if you are lost and just go backwards from the beginning, you will find something you missed that is just what you need to go forward.
This will be one I can play over and over again and not get bored. Thank you Felix!
I recommend this game!

I actually submitted a review already for this but don't see it so I am doing it again.
This is an innovative and creative game that has elements never seen or done before (as far as my experience the past few years).
The artwork is always what will put me 'over the top' and this game is beautiful.
I have played it through twice now and it was just as good the second time.
I recommend this game!

This was a very creative and fun game. It was challenging and a bit 'mechanical' -- it was gratifying to be able to figure out the various mechanisms (and conversely to not feel bad when I had to use the Skip because I don't have a lot of patience).
I recommend this game!

This is a beautiful game. The art work is really fine.
Everything about it is fun and although I also like Spirits of Mystery: The Amber Maiden, this one is a step up as far as being more sophisticated.
I really like the beautiful creatures and fantasy and the fact that it is not all dark, dingy or diabolical.
I recommend this game!

I loved this game since the trial version and I finally bought it recently. It is super fun and intuitive, yet challenging.
I am really glad I got it and I am sure I will play it over and over as time goes on.
The atmosphere changes. It's another one that has its share of diabolical characters but at the same time has some very sweet elements which are refreshing.

I rarely buy collector's editions but I knew I had to buy this within 5 minutes of playing the trial (and I did 5 minutes after the trial ended).
There are elements you have probably never seen before that make it a completely magical experience.
All I can say is I feel like this game is a game changer - like it is a brand new millennium that has suddenlyl evolved - y2k12!
It's just @ ABSURD!

This is a beautiful game - extraordinarily done artwork -
... and while it has it's little share of the macabre, it is delightful to see colorful flowers and scenery and to encounter sweet puppies and bunnies that looked like the real Mccoy.
I am sure that I will play this many times as I have Victorian Mysteries Woman in White and will get lost for hours in the antique atmosphere. They just don't make stuff the way they used to then.
Thank you as always, Felix.

I get so excited whenever I see a new Puppet Show! It is like Christmas! Seriously - these people are the absolute masters above all other masters in creating beautiful games - stunning artwork, even the music and sounds are far and above all the rest! (and I love so many BigFishGames) -- even the little creepy things - the way the puppet eyes move - the way the villains are just so diabolical - things that move that show they have taken every opportunity to create atmosphere. As with all my other 3 Puppet games I will play it over and over again and never get tired of it. THANK YOU FELIX!

I love Mystery Trackers!
I have Void and Raincliff and have played them over and over so I had to get Black Isle -- and I am glad I did! The art and creativity are even better than the others
It is a fun game and part of the challenge is running this way and back that way and remembering where this and that was.
With that said, if I could change anything, it might be a little of this helter skelter routine. I just fnished another game that is very smooth - everything unfolds with some order to it though going to many levels (portals, etc) and the purpose is always clear.
In other words you always know where you 'are going with this' and what you need is always pretty close at hand so with just a little intuition you can proceed without help. (and if not help is very clear also).
Keep 'em coming, Mystery Trackers!
Thanks for all the FUN, Felix!
I recommend this game!
