So very disappointed in the length of this game. It had such potential and I'm feeling quite ripped off paying the CE price. It was even shorter than standard games. The bonus really should have been part of the game. The graphics were lovely but then I like what I call "paper graphics" much like the Drawn series. Great tale and great potential. Absolutely no CE value. and I would not recommend it for the very reason that it was standard quality in game play and length. Sigh, when will the developers understand that CE is length with quality. I realize you gotta pump out those games and keep coming up with new ideas. Sheesh, ask your game players for ideas....we have a TON! I will definitely be more cautious of this developer in future.
I don't recommend this game.

Ridiculously short and I only skipped a few puzzles. Certainly not worth the CE price. So glad I bought it on a discount weekend. Really promising storyline, but not much thought or effort put into the navigation and diversity of rooms and places to go to make the game more interesting and fun as a steampunk genre would imply. I really expected an intense and enterprising adventure.....where there was more complex geared machinery and cleverly crafted various buildings, rooms and characters. It was very simply done with only a handful of scenes to navigate...over and over. The extra gameplay, wasn't even a "bonus", it should have been the game opening...it only lasted 1/2 hour and I didn't miss any puzzles. Certainly not the quality or true adventure I have come to expect from a CE game. BOOO! I would have given it 2 stars but I did like the idea of the game. Would recommend as a SE but not as a CE.
I don't recommend this game.

Loved the game the story the graphics are absolutely pristine and so much color and detail....I will probably play it again just to really take in all the beauty and detail....plus I didn't get to the Snoop-Sees fully story, a nice little aside to the main story. If it had been as long as Rite of Passage I would have given it the same 5 stars and a new favorite....alas it was no where near as long which along with new and interesting ways to find HO's is my biggest incentive to urge others to buy at CE prices - keeping in mind that it also must be a great story with A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. graphics. Although I did pay out the price.....simply because well I ran out of games to play LOL....really BF you need to get more HO's and adventure games pumped out..... it's toooo long in between.
I recommend this game!

Really enjoyed playing this game! Loved the change in scenery with the projectors.....really made the game interesting and fun, The bonus game play was great fun due to the change in scenes and for once I actually felt this was what a true Bonus Game play SHOULD look like and be and even the length was a "bonus"! I must say that I really am enjoying the end credits with that personal touch of each of the game contributors and developers, technicians etc....in fact, I actually read all the credits because the remarks were funny and interesting. Very sneaky getting the players to feel a familiar camaraderie with the peeps who create the games, nice touch. :)

I always play my games in casual mode as I'm not into challenge, but entertainment. This was a good CE, nothing really spectacular, but a good quality, still toooooo short. No major glitches or issues, which is always nice. The characters were good and the graphics of good quality. I really enjoyed playing this game and it is worth CE price, but they are all starting to look the same to me. It didn't deliver the excitement that Rite Of Passage evoked so well, but was still every bit enjoyable and entertaining!
I recommend this game!

Really enjoyed this game. There were a few minus's, like no map in the Bonus extension. The game was TOO SHORT!!!!! My biggest pet peeve. However, there is no rating for length and that would only get 3/5. Beautiful graphics, hint charged just right. Only 2 choices for skill level. Was AWESOME fun to play, love the jokes of the female comedian. Rather strange that a Mexican holiday game was designed by Russians? lol HOS were the sameo, sameo.....but the puzzles were extremely interesting and fun. All in all it was a wonderful little game with an interesting and new storyline. Well done ....really like this developers games!

Maybe it's my system but I had nothing but problems with this game from black outs to freezing to areas popping up that I hadn't gotten to yet. There was absolutely no cohesion in the story....it was all over the place - collecting things in some areas made sense while others made me think, well that was really goofy. The graphics although beautiful were quite small. The character interaction was jerky and off track. The puzzles were challenging and I found most so difficult to solve that I just skipped at least 70% of them. the HOS EXTREMELY boring and often items so well hidden I only saw bits of them. Every time there was an action scene the game would completely black out for a few seconds and then freeze for a split second. The scene with the kinnaris and the girl in crutches made NO SENSE, same with the bad guy and her. The story was really poorly thought out. The action graphics not clean and the transition from game to those was erratic and very poorly rendered. It hurt my eyes to play this game, literally! I'm sorry but my experience with this game was really bad....I won't be buying from this developer again and feel totally that I wasted my hard earned money on it. I didn't even finish playing the game I was so disgusted by how much hassle it was to play and how really bad the story was put together. Big thumbs down for me. I have only once before felt a game was this bad and that wasn't a CE.
I don't recommend this game.

This is another ERS-masterpiece!! Beautifully done graphics, astonishing creatures and animals, very good animated characters with excellent VO's and spoken content.
Facts: 3 modes to choose from (can be changed during the game), direction giving hint, a detailed journal with a map showing you objectives and interactive, 6 chapters, strategy-guide doesn’t follow your progress. Attached to your inventory you’ll have the Amulet of Elements, which helps you to defeat the witch’s evil powers, such as smoke, fire, wind, frost and water….
The usual Extras: Bonus-chapter, 17 achievements to earn, 12 fortune nuts to collect, re-playable minigames and hidden-object-scenes, Calendar
Lots of different fun and interesting HOS (played more than once) :D
You’ll also find a good amount of unique, non-frustrating minigames/ puzzles. There are slightly more minigames than HOS.
If you love fairy-tale themed games, which are not too difficult: This one’s for you!!!
My only annoyance were the golden fortune nuts.....they were someones idea of giving "helpful" advice, I personally found them patronizing and extremely annoying....hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

Excellent story with a very well thought out twist at the end. Awesome graphics, crisp, clean, and deliciously colorful, good voice overs, cut scenes are really well done, lots of interesting places to explore, with plenty to do, fun interactive HOS.
Lots of mini games, not hard which is my preference and well developed and so much fun!!
264 coins to collect to buy toys and upgrades for your cute little pet.
Lots of extras, three game modes with a diary and interactive map....my favorite in a game that does lots of travel in between sites.
Loved this game, entertainment for MANY hours....which is a huge incentive to buy for me, especially when it is this fun and interesting!

Love Blue Tea Games developers....incredibly beautiful graphics, HOGS that build items are one of my favorites. New twist on an old tale. Is a great CE game although the anti's been upped and although I've given it 5 stars, if I could give 4 1/2 I would. It's not quite as good as my favorite game....but then I don't think anything can beat that from the old school of HOG's and HOPA's. Still a winner tho!
I recommend this game!
