Review based on demo + one hour.
I quite liked this game. Maybe not astounding, but decent fun and a good relaxing game. No bugs or gliches so far. If you are not familiar with the game type, the tutorial will help, but not hold your hand through everything.
I good typical tycoon game. I look forward to many more hours and decent replay value.
Like the previous reviewer said it is a 'spend money to make money' game.
It has a decent plot and an average level of difficulty. Not overly clicky.
I do not consider this a time-management game at all, so do not be put off by the description.
Give this little game a try for a nice relaxing diversion!

This is, hands down, the best game I have ever played on Big Fish. I am not into vampires and very nearly did not try this game, but after reading the reviews I am glad that I did.
If you like Life Quest, My life story, Magic quest etc you will LOVE LOVE this game. It has all of the best elements from those games plus a ton of new stuff, stunning graphics, new options, mini-games etc.
I knew after 3 minutes that I would be buying this game.
Huge replay value. Huge fun. Wonderful game.
Please make more of these! Great job!
I recommend this game!

I LOVE games like this. I finished the demo, but I knew after about 45 minutes that this was not something I would buy. I would not even play it for free.
There is too much interruption. Just when I was about to go through my workers, see if their needs were met, make sure that they were assigned to do jobs that needed doing at the time...I was interrupted with new tasks, bits of story line...etc. I am not kidding. You do not have 3 minutes of game play with out having your train of thought messed up.
Great concept. I wish there were more of these games, but this one was such a disappointing mess.

After reading all of the bad reviews I was reluctant to try this game. I am glad that I did.
I will admit that this game desperately needs a tutorial. Reading the comments in the forums before you play is essential.
I thought the game was great fun, relaxed yet challenging. Adorable graphics and sound.
There is a lot of trial and error, but I enjoyed figuring out how to beat the levels. This is a really cute and enjoyable game. You just need to stick with it until you have the basics figured out. After that it is a great game. Give it a try!

I only rarely play HOG's but this one is totally different. I loved the graphics and sound. I did not play the music.
This is based on the trial, but I will be buying this game.
Very relaxing, but challenging as well.

This is such a fun game. Tones of replay value. I've owned this game for ages, and it is something that I regularly play.
It is a card game where you need to collect cards for your house.
Huge fun. Give it a try!

This is based on the demo only.
I thought this game was OK. I thought the other Be Rich/er games were OK too. Not brilliant, but enjoyable.
For me, these games lack creativity. It works great as a standard building game, just not enough scope and freedom of play for me to buy it. Might be good to use a credit on.
I am glad to see something, anything other than standard HOG games. For me, this will go in my 'someday maybe' pile.
I had no tech issues, the tutorial was decent, the levels seemed to move up smoothly. I almost never play games with the music on, or if I do, very low. This one had a really annoying YEA!!! sound that was louder than the rest of the game and that was irritating.
This sounds like a poor review, but I really did think it was a FINE building game, just not fun enough for me personally.

I loved this game. After the first half hour I knew that i was going to buy it. I love adventure style games like this. The graphics are not mind-bending, but that does not matter so much to me. I thought the challenges and mini-games were just hard enough. Some were super easy, a few quite hard, but overall, pleasantly challenging.
I loved having a choice of dialogue with the NPC's.
I am another hour into the game after the Demo and still loving it. If you lke adventure games that make sense and challenge you without breaking your brain, you will love this game.
I recommend this game!

I loved this game! I bought it well before the demo was over. i have just finished it. Relaxed play, but with options of making it more challenging. I did find a few bumps when i first started, but with a quick search and a trip to the forums, i had all of the issues solved. I wish they made more games like this! Compare to Artist Colony or Wondering Willows. I always mute the music, but I left it on a low volume for this one, it blended with the game seamlessly. I did have to re-start once after I had got the basics down, but I am looking forward to playing this again and again. Great value and a hugely fun game!
I recommend this game!

Not sure how I missed this game when it came out. I wish there were more like it! Really fun adventure game. Cute characters and story-line. Tasks are not too hard, usually logical, decent hint system. Great relaxing game and the plot was genuinely entertaining.
I recommend this game!
