I will use a free game for this one because I'm curious enough to want to play further. I like the intro where she wakes up from dreaming, calls her sister and goes in the car to her sisters house. I like the more animated graphics and this has pretty good ones. The HOS I've played so far was one standard HOS and one in the tree where you have to find the silhouette and use each one to move on - this one was a little harder to see and find the objects but not bad. Music is repetitive but not bad. Overall, a pretty good game for a rainy day!
I recommend this game!

I might not be extremely fair to this game because about 3 minutes into it I exited and uninstalled the demo but I couldn't go any further! The beginning cut-scene was awful, like watching a very old movie (which may have been the intent!). I skipped it after a few seconds and went to the game. It does allow customizing on play mode but there isn't much to customize. The graphics were poor in the time I was in the game, the fairy that is talking to you talks very fast and has the most annoying voice I think I've ever heard. As you move your cursor around arrows pop up on areas of interest and script scrolls across the top of the screen, a little too much hand holding. All in all, nothing I liked about this game so not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Of all of the games I've played I've never played one where you could customize the mode of play - I LOVE this! Graphics are very good in this game and I thought it moves along very well. On the voiceover - the mouths didn't move which I thought was strange. Music is okay, if it's not great I usually turn it pretty low and I did that on this game. All in all though this game is a good one.
I recommend this game!

I have all Diner Dashes and LOVE them. This is very similar except it's animals taking orders and cooking. The graphics are animated and okay but no where near as good as DD. The guests are very limited and boring and when it's time to upgrade or repair the restaurant the game does it for you rather than you getting to pick from choices (or at least in the time I played - I did not play the full 60 minutes). Cute maybe for kids but I've been spoiled by Diner Dash!
I don't recommend this game.

Really like to give games a fair chance when I play the demo and review them but unfortunately I didn't make it too far into this game. The game (the time I played it# plays like a tutorial which is VERY annoying, it even tells you to follow the arrows to go to differenct locations. The HOS were very very easy and so was the one mini game I played. The character talks ALL the time #or so it seems!) and the dialog comes across also in a text box. You had no choice of play mode so you can't make it more challenging. Some may like this game but it just wasn't for me.
I don't recommend this game.

After reading both good and bad reviews I had to try this for myself. I played the demo and bought immediately. There are two modes of gameplay - I'm playing the hardest which allows hints and skips, they just fill slower - I've used one hint in a HOS. The graphics are very nice, however, the HOS are a little dark and messy in some areas but still doable. The really cool thing with the HOS is you are in a scene finding objects and as you move your cursor over a little clock appears, you click an it takes you into the same scene in a different time. You find all of the objects in that scene then go back and you will find your final object in the first scene (object named in red) - cool ideal! The music is just a continuous track but okay. I like the mini games, not too hard but enough of a challenge to make you think but still fun. The storyline is definitely different and I'm curious to reach the end and know the full story. Voiceovers and cut scenes are well done. Some reviews said there was too much talking, I don't think so. There is a lot of gameplay so I think it's definitely a CE. There is back and forth and also a map. To use the map you have to open it, then click what you want to see. I haven't really found it necessary to use it. Got to run, want to get back to the game!
I recommend this game!

Played 34 minutes of the demo and had to have this game. It offers three options of play level - I am playing in hardcore. In the same fashion as previous games you have the ability to change a scene this time from light to dark via a fireplace, each scene having mysteries of its own and different pieces that will help you in other scenes. The graphics are good, the music adventure appropriate. So far I've played a couple of HOS - both find the object and place the object and a couple of mini games which I enjoyed because they were a little different than the norm. For me this is a keeper!

I'm still playing this but am enjoying it. The graphics are nice, storyline a little different, music okay and mini games are challenging but not hard. Voice overs and cut scenes are well done. I enjoy well done HOS but don't downgrade a game if they don't have them, this one does not have them. One of the many things I like about this game is most of the movements and actions are logical. There is some back and forth but you only have to go so far back so it's not bad. You also have little creatures in each scene that you find and neutrilize - it tells you how many of them are in each scene. You see these little eyes or movement and click on them, then your cursor becomes a hand and you click them again to neutrilize them. Fun game.
I recommend this game!

I can actually run my old Myst game on my computer with Windows 7 but was thrilled to see this updated version. Sadly, I cannot play it because as insane as it sounds, it makes me seasick from the way you move through the game. I'm so disappointed and will have to go back playing my old Trilogy but I kept feeling sicker and sicker to my stomach while playing and thought this is crazy but this feels like motion sickness or seasick. I quit playing about 15 minutes ago and am okay so it is the movement. Awesome game though if you can play it because moving around this way is so much easier than the original. Sound effects, visual...everything is improved. So bummed I can't buy it!!!
I recommend this game!

Since there was such mixed reviews I had to try this for myself. I LOVE Blue Tea games but I wasn't wowed by this one. The graphics are very busy but good for the most part. They blur when you first come into the scene but then they clear, but I found this a little annoying. The scenes are colorful but very very cluttered. I don't like HOS where you have to piece items together and that is what this is. Because the scenes were so cluttered I found myself sitting close to my monitor trying to find the pieces! Storyline - ho hum and I thought some of the cut scenes were a little over the top. I felt things also fell into place a little too easily and quickly so there didn't seem to be much of a challenge even in the hardest play mode. I know a lot of people like this game but it just wasn't for me.
I don't recommend this game.
