The graphics are beautiful and very clear. And the HOGs are different in that you have to find certain ideas shown (not the usual name of something.)
Just good fun and like I said - the graphics are beautiful which just makes this game even more fun....
I always play casual just because I want to play casual - not rushed, etc. just more fun for me that way.
I recommend this game!

Great colorful graphics. No gloom & dark areas. Some was fairly easy, but other areas I had to use Hint. And since I don't like going from area to area to figure out what to do next - I just use Hint - which lets me know if there is more to do in an area Or if I need to move elsewhere..
Was an enjoyable game.
I recommend this game!

Beautiful Colorful Graphics. - They make any game more fun. Not too many HOGS and what there are - you don't have too many to find and fun with all the beautiful colors.
-- Even with the bad evil 'witch' - the game is not so gloomy - because of the Beautiful Colorful Graphics.
I have only played part of the way, and am enjoying it. Again, the beautiful colorful graphics really makes all the difference. Plus not a HOG everytime you turn around. But when you do have a HOG, there aren't so many you have to find and it all makes sense.
It does make me 'think' as to where do I go next - but if I'm really in a bind - I just use Hint #'cause I really hate to wander around# Also so far, I'm not collecting too many objects at once. When I have had a row of 'em, I can quickly use them. That way I don't forget what I have collected.
I recommend this game!

Too many HOGS and too much darkness. Everything is grayish, dark. Possibly with a larger monitor instead of my laptop monitor would help.
Usually a lot of HOGS don't bother me -but there just seems to be too many and are just not that much fun With NO Beautiful colorful graphics.
Can't say anything about the audio - 'cause I seldom listen to any game - too often gloomy & repetitive so I just don't listen.
As for the storyline, I can't get into very well - too many HOGS that are just deary type grays, blacks, etc.
I can only play about 15 minutes or so before I get really bored - But I will finish the game...
I don't recommend this game.

Graphics are just ok, nothing great & colorful which I prefer. HOGs are typical, some hard, some not. I do not listen to audio - too many games are just dreary or sluggish So I'm just learned to play without it..
There is a great deal of moving back & forth which often is ok in some games but here there is No understanding (at least to me) of why and what to do next. I'm using Hint much too often.
I can also only stand to play about 15 min. at a time - I keep playing because I bought it....
I realize there is a story here but I don't get a lot of it in playing the game.
I don't recommend this game.

I play a lot of HOG games. Many you do have a lot of going back & forth but are usually still fun.
In this game, there is a Great Great Deal of wandering Everywhere plus you Collect a lot of stuff & half my time is spent having to scroll back & forth to find the item I need.
Because of this, I only play about 15-30 minutes at a time. I figured out why this game is long is because of all the back & forth.
The good thing is the (oops forgot what it's called) on the right side is a map which helps a great deal.
This game could have been a lot better but I just get bored having to do so Much Back & Forth. I usually enjoy games similar with going back & forth - BUT this one just has TOO much back & forth going on & I get bored.
Audio - I never listen to so can't tell you about this.
Graphics - are really nice, so far no dark areas. The HOGS are sometimes hard to find.
This game does not Just have a lot of Back & Forth but I do not always know what to do next and have to use HINT a great deal - No fun in that. Not like all the Other Grim Tales that I have.
I appreciate those who can handle this game - But is just Not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Beautiful graphics. Typical solitaire.
-
When I play solitarie I play Fairway and I get to play different levels of solitaire - never knowing what will be next...
No distractions - just the watching for the gopher to click on before he disappears.
---
I gave this game a 4 star ONLY because there are some players who like to do more while playing solitaire & don't mind the constant popping up that keeps going on and the game showing me what I chould click next.
I played about 20 minutes on the trial And NO I will not purchase. Had too much taking away from my playing solitaire plus there was NO challenge to the games..
I don't recommend this game.

Loved playing this game. Good story, Beautiful graphics, and just good fun.
HOs - some were just harder than others. I enjoyed the different type HOs by showing you what you needed to find and then each part came together to create what was needed.
Clear, bright, beautiful scenes / graphics.
Well worth purchasing and playing.
I recommend this game!

I played about 15 minutes and found that the graphics were really nice, sound nice. in the game you shoot (from a vase) whatever is in it - to the same design spot in circles or other groups. I guess I'm not very good in explaining but the game seems really simply - at first - but the level of challenge gets harder and harder because the circles and other objects keep moving and in some scenes you have to brace your shot off something else. A challenge for sure and it gets more challenging as the circles and Xs keep moving.
I am not certain what goes on when you continue playing - I have not gotten that far yet.
-
I suggest you give this game a trial to find out exactly what I am talking about. I usually play HOs but this game was a different challenge and was fun.
I recommend this game!

I do not like games with witchcraft and demon spirits, therefore this game is not for me.
If you wonder - then check out the trial version before buying. I am thankful I played the trial version first.
I will not buy it.
I don't recommend this game.
