The art is great but some of the hidden objects are hard to see. There's not much to this hidden object game other than finding the differences. I guess I like more of a story line to keep my interest up. I did the free demo but won't be buying the game.

I read all those positive reviews and bought it without trying the free demo, figuring it must be great. If I'd tried the demo first, I wouldn't have bought it. It is beautiful, true, but the game is too easy and the mini games are too hard. I think my expectations were just too high based on all the perfect reviews. I thought the game was okay but not great.

A few aspects of this game were fun but other aspects were terrible and that far outweighed the good for me. A few places just had you clicking on everything to try to guess where something was supposed to go...not a good time for me.

I work on my computer, it has a high resolution huge monitor and I couldn't see some of the stuff in the hidden object scenes at all. I thought several of the games very very interesting but couldn't last the whole demo hour because I found the lack of clarity too frustrating. The story premise was promising but didn't stay to find out what happened.
I don't recommend this game.

I really liked this game. It wasn't a five, but getting there. I really loved the story line and all the characters. Wonderfully creative graphics! Watch out for all the paper pieces, it's easy to forget to look for them.
This game didn't work for me at all. I hated the music and didn't like the graphics. The hidden object scenes were tedious and redundant. There's no storyline at all and that's my favorite part.
I read the other two reviews and looked at the sample pictures and thought, maybe this isn't so bad. But after playing the demo for a short while, I think i disliked it more than the other reviewers! The sample pictures don't actually look that good in the game. Hidden object scenes are too confusing if the artwork doesn't really look like what it's supposed to be. Plus there's this door that's stuck and you're supposed to hit it with a hammer but every time I did, it kept saying I'd hit it in the wrong place. If you try anywhere on the door that doesn't have sparkles, the hammer falls back into the inventory box. If you hit it where the sparkles are, it just says you've hit it in the wrong place and try again. I hit all the sparkles, several times, and then ran out of patience.

Some aspects of the game were fun but I hated the crow when he gets around to almost completion time and the music gets really tense and hurry up, hurry up! I don't enjoy that kind of pressure at all.
