This is such a fun little game.
It is a strategy/time management game where you have to collect resources to sell or to produce other goods. It's sort of a combination of Farm Frenzy & Roads of Rome or My Kingdom for the Princess.
It starts out quite easy but by half way through the demo it starts to get tough.
One hint - read the chief's signposts - the bonuses can really help.
Overall, I really enjoyed this game. Thanks to Big Fish for making it a daily deal - it's well worth it!
I recommend this game!

I am addicted!
To be totally honest, it's a no brainer but it really does hook you in.
If you've had a hard day and you just want to play something that is engaging but won't over work your brain cells, this just may be the game for you.
Give the demo a go and see if it suits. I'm glad I did.
I recommend this game!

I beta tested this game and I've been waiting for it to be released for months.
If you enjoyed Be Rich & Be Richer then you will also enjoy Be Richest. Yes, it's different from the first two, but then it should be - if it was the same as the others what would be the point?
I recommend this game!

I tried this game three times before I could make up my mind if I liked it or not.
The first two times my thoughts were to just uninstall it, but I came to the site and looked at the reviews. Most of them were good so I thought I'd go back for a 3rd attempt.
I'm glad I did!
I quite enjoyed this game. It starts out very slow and simple but picks up speed and complexity very early on. It's just like any other TM but with a coffee twist that just makes it a little bit different.
I would recommend people first play the demo to the end to see if they like it.
I recommend this game!

I love the series and really wanted to like this game but...
While the graphics are pretty good and the soundtrack is ok, the storyline is lacking severely and the game interaction is poor at best.
It would have been much better if they had used voiceovers particularly if they'd used the actual actors.
Overall, it's a very poor game.
I don't recommend this game.

I loved this game!
It is a clicking/builder/strategy game similar to Timebuilders, Royal Envoy etc.
It starts out quite straightforward and easy and gradually becomes more and more difficult.
It is a lot of fun, especially if you like an Egyptian theme. The graphics are clear and a pleasure to look at, and the animations are wonderful, with little suprises throughout the levels.
The soundtrack is great and there is a wonderful sense of humour throughout the entire game.
I recommend this game!

I originally played Nightfall: Asylum Conspiracy which was meant to be the prequel to this one... well apart from using the same characters, the storylines don't match...
BUT, the game is fun anyway. Lot's of Hidden Object Scenes, puzzles and a few little spooks along the way. The game takes about 30 mins of solid playing to really get into it, but once you do, you're hooked..
I recommend it for anyone who enjoyed the first (and best) Mystery Case Files games: Huntsville, Prime Suspects, Ravenhearst & Madame Fate.
I recommend this game!

I initially tried this game when I had a hour to waste. By half way through that first hour, I was hooked!
This game is creepy, but not too creepy. The soundtrack is very fitting and slowly builds to the climax, the voiceovers are excellent and the graphics are very well done.
This game took me approximately 6 hours to complete but that was broken up into segments. I thought it was an excellent length.
The puzzles can range from easy to tricky, but there is a skip button if necessary.
The HOS are interesting, none of the items are so tiny you need a magnifying glass. Some are logically placed, some you need to hunt for, but overall I liked them.
I recommend this game highly for anyone who likes a relatively straightforward, not too complex, HOG with a very good dash of creepiness thrown in.
I recommend this game!

This game almost immediately reminded me of the early Mystery Case Files games such as Ravenhearst and Madame Fate. As such - I loved it!
Part adventure, part ihog, this game had plenty of hidden object scenes where the items were cleverly hidden but not impossible to find.
Played in "Casual Mode" the game's hints and skip buttons refilled quite quickly - approx 45seconds. I loved that you could hit the hint button and it would suggest where to go next and also if you hit 'go' it would take you there saving time traipsing through screens.
The graphics were quite basic by today's standards but I liked them. The soundtrack was very much like MCF with background footsteps, cars etc. The music part of the soundtrack was lovely and quite haunting.
I completed the game in stops and starts over 3 days so probably 5 - 6 hours in all. I found the difficulty perfect - not so difficult that you pull your hair out, but needs you to think in parts but is easy enough that the game progresses without stagnating (and losing my interest).
Overall, I loved it and wish more like it woud be released. I've become quite bored and frustrated with the highly complex hogs that have been released in the last 12 mths or so.
If you enjoyed Ravenhearst, Madame Fate & Prime Suspects, you will enjoy this one.
I recommend this game!

Life Quest is cute. It's a great game if you don't really want to think too hard.
It can get repetitive after a while, but even so I still go back to it every now and then.
It's easy to learn & it's fun. A simple game, but sometimes you want simple fun!
I recommend this game!
