Candy canes in each scene and you know you found them all when jar at bottom shows them in it...
Items in each scene... from the 12 days of Christmas song to find... when done it'll state.. 12 day of Christmas .. these are both shown in bottom left corner... and an extra bonus with using no hints.... Makes you look and look... you know its there!!! a challenge but no hints used
all achievements gotten..
I found it quite enjoyable... music can be turned down and then its not annoying... will save and play at another time...
not sure ive played the others...
I recommend this game!
An unexpected invitation sends you to research mythical standing stones in Brittany.

Great for an SE... sold me just by it having a locking inventory bar and voice over.... Graphics very nice... You collect up to 70 hidden mistletoes throughout game as your hints.... I got about 56 the first time... but only needed help 2x in the whole game... I do my games on advanced or intermed.
I think it was beautifully done... do not se too many SE that werent made for a CE of this quality...
A+++ in my book....
I recommend this game!

This is sad to say, but ERS games were my favorite and now I have other games NOT by them that are more exciting and keep me more interested... both with music, gameplay and more things to find... last ERS game I just couldnt even get myself to buy... they are losing their rank as others are getting better...
I found this a bit slow going and started getting bored.... wasnt much to keep me interested.....
I recommend this game!

ERS games I love... My only true disappointment was the jump map gave you No clue of if it had any activity to be done in a spot.... From what I saw it was only a jump map... When I get stuck nowadays instead of hint I look at map go to objective area then figure out what to do..
Graphics.... typical of ERS... music pleasant... heard a few touches from some of their old games...
For some reason on the first go around on this game I had no clue on a few mini games... not like me on ERS... the second time around I must have been more awake because I got them all without one skip...
I was mad after first time playing game... I missed one of the morphing clocks and could not figure out which it was and by end of game could access start of game, so gave me a good reason to redo game a second time...
Found all clocks :)
HOGS and mini games are replayable in EXTRAS.....
so im happy with yets another ERS game... thanks guys and gals at ERS.. :)

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.
