Even though my preference was for no tutorial, I still got a large window, pointing at an object that wasn't even in the opening introduction, and which I could not close. When I eventually could close it, I must have clicked on said object 8 times before "collecting" it. Then, came the first HO scene. I decided to do the Match 3 and there it was: the same old boring objects that are in every single game. I went no further. These games are cookie cutter, and no longer enjoyable. I don't recommend it at all.
I don't recommend this game.
Can you guide a tormented gamer through a trio of terrifying challenges?

I wasn't happy with the first game in the series, but since this one had so many good reviews - and I wanted a new game - I purchased it. But, I thought it was even less than the first. No explanation for why our "hero" needed Madame Eve; the internal stories ending abruptly, and without satisfaction; the "choice" of responses seemed to matter little, and didn't do much to change things.
I don't know if I will play the bonus game or not, but this is not a game I will be playing again, and should there be another in the series, I will easily avoid the temptation to purchase it.
Mechanics were OK, puzzles worked, music was fine, graphics more than acceptable. But, I play games for the story line as well as the HOs and puzzles, and that was again, a disappointment.

I enjoy these games for relaxation, and sometimes to laugh at the pandas in the desert (or something similar), but then get to enjoy the scenes in the "photographs" I take after finding the camera - which is usually pretty easy to find, but sometimes, takes the magnifier for my old eyes.
Thanks for a few relaxing enjoyable hours without puzzle solving (although that's fun, too).

But, my own fault. I only played the demo for a few minutes, and I wanted a new game. There are long lags between scenes, In HOs; I have to click multiple times on some objects before the game recognizes my clicks; the voices are out of sync badly; a couple of the puzzles would not resolve, even when I had them solved (and checked with the SG to be sure), and had to skip - only to see them resolve in the same way I had done.
That on top of the SOSO broken keys and the by now, BORING Match Three alternative (they can't come up with some different objects?), I am disappointed in the game and I can't see myself playing the bonus at all.

I have enjoyed all the Bridge To Another World games, some more than others, and had looked forward to this one. I had no issues with downloading or purchasing. It was a bit...uncomplicated, but relaxing to play and the main game and bonus both had satisfactory endings. Music was pleasant.
But. And I see no other reviews talking about this, so perhaps there was an issue with my computer. A puzzle piece in the greenhouse was impossible for me to pick up. I could see it, right there! But I could not take it. One reason I like Collector's Editions is for these little extras, so it's both frustrating and disappointing when something like this happens.
So, nice little game with likable characters, maybe a little too easy puzzle-wise, but fun. However, I probably wont play it a second time.

Love cats, and more cats, loved pups, and love critters, so was thrilled to see this new Love. I enjoy playing through the first time just to play, and then I go back until I can find every animal and every butterfly. It's a nice relaxing game and I hope this means that I love Finding MORE Critters will be coming in the future.
I recommend this game!
In this remastered classic, reawaken in that mysterious castle, and solve perplexing puzzles to escape!

I was very happy to see this game in a remastered edition. It was one of the first games I played on BigFish, and I loved it. I appreciated the improvements, and that nothing of the original pretty and relaxing fairy tale, was changed. I enjoyed it so much, it inspired me to play all of the series again. I'm now on The Goblin Kingdom.
There are no real challenges, here, but that's not really what it's about. I can play other games for challenges. I had fun playing this and I do recommend it.

I didn't mind the SOSO broken key, and bone toy for dog, etc., but it started out buggy, and remained that way for the 17 minutes I played the demo.
It started out giving me a message that "there's a doll right there!" when there was no doll in the scene, and I missed the opening video, because of it. Yes, I xed out eventually, but I waited to see if it would go away by itself, first.
The sound was off kilter in the first scene and continued with the ghost at the pool, screaming while I was "looking at" the girl in trouble on the left side of the scene. Too many fits, starts, and uncoordinated sounds for me. Too bad. I actually like this developer because it's familiar territory, and the games are relaxing. Not this one.

I thought the story sounded like an interesting one, the graphics were OK, the music, fine. However, I couldn't get the first part to work (ringing the bell), no matter what I did or how hard I tried, and it doesn't appear to be something that can be skipped, so no buy for me, unfortunately, because I like Spirit Chronicles.

Purchased this game in hopes that it would provide info on our missing Rick Rogers. So far, it has not, but I haven't finished the game yet. If it weren't for Rick, I would not have purchased it after doing the demo. I'm finding it very glitchy, and it is difficult finding the exact pixel I need to be clicking on to perform a task. That is annoying. The puzzles are OK (except for a HO scene with those sliders that I despise), but one wouldn't work for me at all. I'm hoping after all this effort to see something about Rick. Otherwise, I will give up on this series, and just play the first few over again.
Not sure if I recommend this game or not. Jury's still out.
