This game was a complete surprise and a very pleasant one . The opening was pretty basic graphics .But it then settled down to challenging gameplay . The fairy element may not be for everyone especially fans of Darker screen play Its bright and colourful No upping the brightness here!.The challenges within the game are a mixture of HOPs and puzzles ,despite the hint button recharging relatively fast there isn't too much in the way of hand holding and you do have to think for yourself over some tasks.. Kristidumplin, observed the task involving the rotating thing on a square seems impossible until I discovered it rotated the opposite way as well . I played for about 30 minutes on the demo far enough into the story line to know if it was worth while recommending. I would use a free game or a discount offer I suggest we watch out for these developers If they carry on producing games of this standard they will go far
I recommend this game!

This is only based on the Demo which was actually quite short in comparison to other games produced by Eipix The storyline centres around Calavera The day of the dead celebrated in Mexico A time to remember lost loved ones .Part of me wished the game had been lost as well. Although the game looked wonderful the story line was not that good, It ran along the formula used in a lot of the many previous games Eipix have produced .No sooner have we arrived home but warning signs thing are not as they should be . Not that anything actually happens till we leave for the Island of Alma. Then it could have been interchangeable with other storylines from other games It wasn't terrible it was just ok The mini games were varied ,the HOP's were better than expected But something was just missing .Maybe producing a huge amount of games in a very short space of time is beginning to show Please try it your self but for me its going to be a no thank you!
I don't recommend this game.

Well. I did try to enjoy this game But it just lacked everything that makes a good game . I promised myself I would not buy another game after the last few disasters but I gave it a chance . The story was weak the artwork awful You only have to play the original games to see how bad they have become I honestly think someone has seriously lost the plot and definitely with this obscure short story To those of you who loved it so much have you forgotten or ever played the early games Play the demo and see if you agree
I don't recommend this game.

Domini are a developers with a very distinctive style and games that usually take a while to finish -sometimes I get fed up and skip the bonus for a later date But as I have only played the trial I am unable to comment . your role is of a master healer brought in to heal a servant of the queen and it becomes pretty clear early on there is black magic behind the strange illness. You are given a helper more or less at the start but as it is a bird there is no finding ladders etc all the time . I didn't find it overly irritating I often play without sound! It was nice to see the option of EASY on the mini games and not just for beginners some mini games I loathe but I don't always want to skip them The details of the game have already been covered by others I suggest whatever your ability give the game a chance you may find you enjoy it
I recommend this game!

Oh dear ,why did I bother to save this game to play later! I broke my wrist in an accident and months later decided to finish where the trial ended. Maybe time has fogged my memory But I didn't remember it being that bad . Why bring Rasputin into it I thought the series was about fairy tales as the Devs are from Eastern Europe they would know that . What has happened to the art work at best its ok. At worst I could do better BUT IT IS THE STORYLINE OR LACK OF IT. Dreadful a cobbled together mish mash of other stories It is beyond belief the gushing praise of some reviewers .Do they actually play the games or read the walkthrough?
I don't recommend this game.

Oh dear I saved this game to enjoy later . That was a serious mistake it is dreadful . Remember the beautiful graphics of the early games Since Eipix got involved the games have steadily declined . I got to the end of chapter 3 and gave up yes it truly was DIRE please, please why have Blue Tea games let this beautiful series slip from their grasp
I don't recommend this game.

Ok I have not had time to do reviews for ages BUT I just have to do one now Please remember everyone should have the chance to play games from newbies to advanced and sometimes its ok to play scary more adult themed games . Sometimes its ok to play an gentler game There is nothing wrong with this game its like a gentle fairy tale .The challenges are not ridiculously easy But if you play the online midnight game or any of the two previous games you will know what to expect The synopsis of the game is exactly as it plays Try it, you may just enjoy it! If not, you do not have to buy it
I recommend this game!

I found this game very enjoyable I have played all the others But they were HO'S and This game is puzzle based I had a few glitches at first until I adjusted the screen size But I was drawn into the game within a few minutes . I sguess it comes down to Do you want the same game over and over or do you fancy something slightly different I for one am not a big fan of HO'S I accept that most games now have them but sometimes it becomes soo boring I give up So if you want to play the same game as the previous 3 replay them If you fancy something a bit different with lots of Robots and puzzles to solve oh and did I mention a siamese cat as a helper . The cut scenes are up there with the best and really good for game play as well but given other reviews I guess you will either love it or not !
I recommend this game!

This game is not really a hidden object game and it has the art style of The Natalie brooks games of a few years ago Still available to try on Big Fish Yes there is a lot of dialogue but you can click through it if you get fed up. The story is simple you visit your uncle who is forever inventing things and before you know it you are off on an adventure . It is not going to appeal to the HO fanatics out there and it does involve a lot of mouse clicking But it does have a lot of charm and if you are looking to try something different give it a go you may be pleasantly surprised
I recommend this game!

Having played the previous games and loved them I had very high hopes for this one .I must have been in a dream when I bought this or maybe it was because my computer hard drive was dying so I pressed buy buy buy it should have been BYE . Now months later returning to the game and having read all the reviews I can see we fall into 2 camps love it or dissapointment The theme of all the games is a cursed family Thats where this one falls down ! If you have a continuing story check the plots of the previous games . The look of the game is visually attractive but the mechanics not so arrows to open out some areas but not when you want them to and not the most exciting HO's let the game down I started to get fed up and wanted to move on - not a good sign I found the art pad odd did I miss the instructions on how and when to use it ! I am afraid I value a good story above everything when I checked the strategy guide and saw how many chapters were left I decided that was enough for me I am sorry maybe had I not had months away I may have felt differently but it had just become too grim
I don't recommend this game.
