This is an excellent game. It plays like a true adventure game instead of the typical junk pile hidden object game that is labeled "adventure". I hope this will be the first of many games created in this manner, replacing the typical, boring ones.
I recommend this game!

This game really was enjoyable to play because of the lack of junk piles to sift through and waste time on, AKA hidden object scenes. I really miss true adventure, large file games like Syberia and Rhiannon. Did they stop creating them? Hidden object scenes are very boring and detract from the overall storyline. I wish they would have their own category instead of being listed as an "adventure" game.
I recommend this game!

Excellent Old West adventure game without the endless, boring junk pile scenes that waste time. I found the game to be interesting and challenging, and the desert scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. I wish the newer Nancy Drew games were of a similar quality. Definitely worth buying.
Finally, an interesting and unique game with not too many hidden object scenes. I love being able to explore the beautiful mansion and grounds. No brides or asylums. More games like this please!
I recommend this game!

This is a good game but fairly typical. My only complaint is the stereotypical negative portrayal of the rats as being evil creatures. I think it is irresponsible of game creators to include poisoning animals. Surely they can provide a humane alternative for the players. While I understand that it is only a game, I don't like games that poison rodents, aim slingshots at birds, etc.
I recommend this game!

The game appeared to be challenging and fun but it quickly turned into a hidden object game. There were very few puzzles and no "adventure" to speak of. I wish there were more adventure games that were true "adventure" games instead of hidden object games. Looking through endless piles of junk is very tedious.
I don't recommend this game.

This game got boring really quickly. It seems that every other scene was a tedious hidden object scene. It's getting difficult to tell a lot of these games apart. Maybe it's just me but I really hated the wolf shooting part.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a very good game that played well on my computer. It is creepy but fun to play. There aren't a lot of hidden object scenes which is a plus for me, and the puzzles are challenging.
I recommend this game!

Too many repetitive games, too many hidden object scenes and very little adventure. Quite tedious. The only reason I finished it is because I was foolish enough to buy it, at full price, no less. I wish hidden object games would not be categorized as "adventure."
