Great story, graphics etc.
Oh, and if you were to play again. I did not get all the morfing dragons the first time and went in again and played and they werent there... I had to DELETE the first profile and start a new one with my name again.....
Nothing I can say was lacking in this game...
I recommend this game!

Nice to see a nicely done SE. MY ONLY NEG thing is: Why is it so hard for the SEs to have a locking inventory bar... gosh I hate it going up and down... thats my only thing that drives me nuts the most on SEs
Music fits very well and is not overwhelming
Very nice graphics
Smooth game play - a bit of back and forth but not far..
Im in expert and a good challenge but no hint button used yet. Bought game and played maybe 40mins and enjoying it a lot... Why others gave such a horrible rating I do not know... Ive seen some pretty sorry looking/sounding etc SEs in my day... I used a credit but still worth the buy too...

Okay, I like that it had a locking inventory.. saw that right away... Hate, hate hate when they cant put that as an option... when the bar is going up and down as you look or try things.
Voice over on most of the conversations... Characters very concept art looking... like they forgot to finish them lol... but Id rather that and have voiceover then great drawn people and having to read read read... Nothing makes a game bad then clicking past or through 10 tons of conversation.
Storyline... Good... Different.
End is left so you wonder if he is really gone! doubt they could get away with making a part two on an ok SE.

Used a freebie and was happy with how the game flowed. HOGs and mini games easy but still enjoyed as a relaxing game to play...
PLAYED IT AGAIN... Right after completing it... So that says something about it...
If graphics were better and HOGs had more in them and harder im sure I would have given 5 stars... Get it... it was enjoyable.... Fishy Deb

A few said boring. Too easy... ????
Some games you have to play more than 5mins. You have to establish a storyline and takes a little while in most games to get on a roll. Good voiceover for a non CE game.... Map wasnt transporting but did show where you had something to do... TY
Good graphics and Im not quite done with the game but enjoying it a lot. Doing the rest tomorrow.. I find I start hitting hint or getting a little antsy when I play too long.. Im getting off and will... Start fresh again tomorrow... to finish.
There are achievements which is nice... Makes you try to not skip or hit hint... so I like that...
I dont usually like most games that come out as a non CE/SE game, but this was nicely done... ty BF

I didnt not like the quality of this when It came out as a CE and was surprised that something of this low quality.. Graphics etc was even put out as a CE... Bad blurry, not crisp graphics, boring storyline.. well not really storyline but the scenes your in bored me to tears... Ship, woods.. than stopped demo, couldnt take it any more
... Story I just couldnt get thrilled about walking around the inside of a ship for awhile then in the jungles... Green,,, green green... Did not feel anything that said wow, this will probably be pretty good if I keep on playing..
Did play the demo again for this SE and just wasnt feeling the love for the atmosphere or graphics... etc..
Ive seen CEs that just werent quite CE quality but would be SE worthy paying or using free credit... I had figured I would use a free credit , but I dont even want to use that because I dont like the graphics or gameplay... Sorry on this one... too many spectacular ones out there to choose from.. this fall very short of them.... Deb
I don't recommend this game.

Some HOGS were not sharp enough and I couldnt even tell what some things were so I was clicking around... and I Do Not do that.... SOme scenes were so busy with stuff that instead of seeing a beautul scene it looked like trash... Just not up to par for a CE game or quality... Not even sure I'll buy as a SE
A shame because I like the morphing object and achievements, but this fell short of a CE in MY opinion.. and I do see a few agreeing... Ive done so many sharp crisp good flowing games that I guess Ive gotten more critical about my games... Map was not the best at all...
One PRO for ME::::: I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee Locking inventory bars... A++++ on that one...
I don't recommend this game.

The graphics and HOGS and crisp, clear, brightly colored and very very pleasing to look at... I love the morphing objects because it makes me stay in that room/scene to look for it but to take in all the work and detail involved in each scene
Map you get after a few minutes into playing, tells you if you have a morphing object to still find or you can turn it off so you have to remember if you did...
MY ONE CON::::::: NO option to LOCK THE INVENTORY in up position! How hard could that have been to add... I like that option (a Lot). I dont like it popping up and down when Im looking to see whats in it or trying different items on something! thats my one pet peeve on games... Cant be hard to have a lock and let you lock the bar up??~~
Over all. after doing the first Sacra Terra game about 3 times, I saw a trailer on this game at the start of the week and bought it without doing demo First.... NOt sorry at all.... Lovely pace and lovely scenes to look at on my way to solving and picking up things. Music is nice and not annoying.. and nice voiceovers.. Usually dont buy games that do not do voices but only Writing talk back and forth.. I just click through and then dont know what the stories about.. Gotta have your animated characters and voiceover.
Deb
ps.... GREAT MAP...... Gotta have the map... helps transporting oneself and knowing where there is something to do if you need a little help and you can turn on or off the morphing object helper... A+ guys....

HOrrible....
Graphics not sharp at all... I had to Blast speaker at the start to hear the people talking then had to turn sound Way down for rest..
I dont say that about most games that look kinda decent.... Did NOt Like one bit. Wish i did.. have two free game credits.
THe MAIN REASON FOR MY DISLIKE: Mini games with tons of #s or symbols and NO Instructions whatsoever. If you cant by chance figure it out you have to skip... Some voice overs other spots you have to read read, read... Start was a horrible bore.. by the time i was a bit into it i was on like my 3rd mini game with no guidance to how to solve. and even if I can figure one out I didnt figure them all and skipped a few... Not how I want to play. I want to play the mini games and not skip...
Not even worth a freebie for me.. See a few 5stars... not sure why...
I don't recommend this game.

This game I bought without doing the demo... Saw a video on it and it looked good and saw the sale... Not sorry one bit... nicely done... dont think Ive heard of this developer before but must say nice job....
Graphics are crisp and lovely to look at... You need to find horseshoes throughout game... I like that sort of thing.. You linger longer looking at the details of the graphics.

Im a little more than halfway through... and loved so im writing my review now...
Music is not annoying but fitted for the game... Not loud and creepy or childish like some kids are playing flutes and stuff... If youve been there I think you know what I mean about that last part.. music that makes you feel ill.. It was perfect.
some games I turn the volume up and down... sound pretty consistant throughout game..
Nice consistancy with pace of game.... No map but no running 10 scenes back and forth... You stay in a few areas and work your way around... Nicely done..

I did find a little too little mini games though... most doors or chests just used a found key and not a puzzle to enter.. so a tad dissappointed there.. all in all.. Good buy for me...
I recommend this game!

Story seemed a little lame.. the old beauty and the beast deal...
Graphics were a mix of fine detailed scenes to ones that looked like colored concept art.. a little rough and not much details at all.. Different artists maybe... dont know..
Game: hated when you looked at things and it made like a "Knock" sound.. Using the hint button got you a strange melody too....
For an SE I cant complain I guess, those were some of the things that stuck out while I was playing..
I recommend this game!
