I'm enjoying this game. I usually buy/play almost all of Domini's games. I don't recall having tech issues with their games, but this one has them. Cannot purchase items with the tokens I earned...when I click on the token icon, I move into the "closet", but when I click to purchase an item, nothing happens. We pay more for CE games to get all these extra bonuses - They should all work!

I was shocked to see all the bad reviews. I am thoroughly enjoying this game. Some of the mini-games are new (I've never seen before). Story and graphics are great. Don't let the bad reviews lead you astray.. give it a chance.
I recommend this game!

I guess this game is a must try first. I was hesitant after so many bad reviews, but I'm really enjoying this game.
I am a huge fan of very bright, colorful games.
I'm a little confused as well regarding how Walter fits into this story as Miranda is married to Bernard (and, Bernard does make a comeback.) Hoping all gets explained as the game progresses.
I recommend this game!

Yeah to the developers. I had so much fun playing this game. I've played some games lately that I could care less if I finished (got them with a BOGO), but not this game. I experienced some new features while playing. Not sure why it's getting many bad reviews. To each his/her own. Give it a try.
I recommend this game!

This game is created by the same developers as the "Dana Knightstone" series. Bar far, ONE OF THE BEST series I have ever played (and played numerous times). This one does not even compare. I only bought it because of the BOGO sale this weekend. Without that, I probably would not have.
Note to developers... if you really want to sell a game, make another Dana Knightstone game with it's original format.
That would be a buy for me

Well.. Happy Monday. I was so excited to see another Legacy: Witch Island game. I have the others and play them often.
Just something so fun about these games. A must try.
Truly original.
I recommend this game!

I am really enjoying this game... then I found out why - Because it's from the creators of the Mortimer Beckett series (which, I feel, are the best games offered in a HO format. And, my personal favorites). A must try.
Now that this game is available, I hope that a NEW Mortimer will be following.... one can hope.
I recommend this game!

I found this game to be very enjoyable. I will agree with others that it is too short. I did not mind that Richard was on "vacation".
This is a must try game.
