Professor Ashmore, the same man who so kindly took you in and raised you as his own has been murdered. It’s up to you to find out why, but are you prepared for what truths may be uncovered?
I'm going to the house I grew up in. Professor Ashmore was found dead and his assistant Doctor Alexander Vor is missing. They conducted scientific studies and experiments on Iowa Island.
This game has lots of hops that I liked. Lists with nice scene. Some are used more than once. Some hops have morphs. I liked some puzzles.
The game came out April 2014. No custom setting and hints and skips are slow. Has map, collectibles, achievements, diary and bonus chapter called The Dream. I liked the Ashmore Botanical Garden. Has some underwater adventure which is cool. It's a beautiful game.
Has replays on 10 hops, 8 puzzles, 15 movies and 5 music. Has 8 wallpapers and 9 concept art.
I was thinking this game would be good for Halloween. It had more horror than some Halloween games this year. Some hops had a jack o' lantern and sunflowers.
I didn't like examing the body. I skipped most puzzles. I did like that I wasn't lock out of any scene. It has 5 chapters and I was surprised that I changed character late in the game and then the map was gone for that portion. It's a older game and came out Nov. 2015.
I liked the story. Wasn't crazy about the hops, too interactive for me. I really liked the Scarab Maze several times in the game. You have to avoid things trying to get you while getting colored keys to go to the matching colored keyholes. You can revive yourself. It lets you go back and forth from the map to the maze. Don't usually like the blind mazes but I liked this one. Like in the right order things.
What happens to Dupin was a surprise. This game came out Dec. 2016. I liked the white crow. It has 7 chapters.
Based on the finished game. I wasn't jazzed until a little later in the game. I bought it so I kept at it and the later story was good in my opinion. This game came out in Dec. 2017. I played it for the Halloween season of 2020. It has 4 chapters.
The extras are good I like the 6 videos. I like replaying the 14 hops to get a gold medal for achievements. I collected 30 DNA symbols. I really get a kick out of the 20 souvenirs because I can revisit the scenes. One hops had 12 morphs in a Halloween scene. Another hops had 9 morphing objects. I didn't like the puzzles but the hops made up for it. It has a match 3 in the bonus content if that's what you like.
I liked the bonus chapter. It's a ghost of a story.
I Loved this game. Easy fun puzzles. Clever Hops. The game play is fun as it's has a good balancing art.
Forty morphing Cats and a cards collectible. No replays. They have a dice game that you just jump over pieces like checkers.
Mr. Jenkins the cat is your helper like in all of their games. Some achievements are hard like defeat the sailor in the first try or find Daily Magic logo by the light. I had to use the guide several times on this game.
I really liked all the flowers, butterflies and birds. I bought it Nov. 2019 and waiting until this Summer to play the game. The CE is the way to go. The bonus chapter has the continued story from the main game and the standard version players will miss out on the ending.
The bonus chapter has a lovely flower and bird hops. I didn't like most puzzles and the game play was hard so that is the only reason I didn't love it. The map will indicate if you need to find the collectible or a puzzle piece but not the morphs.
Good amount of extras with 26 morphing bird and flower. Twelve collectible characters. Forty eight puzzle pieces. Five chapters + bonus. Replay 12 hops, 13 mini-games which I won't. Five music. Four jigsaws and four screensavers. Fourteen wallpapers and Twelve concept art. Achievements.
Before I started the game I went to the extras and set a scene wallpaper. It has the mansion, women statutes and fountain. I set and checked out all four screensavers after I did the jigsaw after finding twelve pieces.
Happy I have the pretty game. Just wished I liked the mini-games and gameplay. I like my puzzles easy and relaxing.
It's a long game, 6 chapters + bonus. I love the extras. You click on a stone totem and it turns into a humming bird. I would just let it fly around for a while before I click on the bird. There are 25 of these. There are 36 scene morphs and in the bonus chapter you collect 19 horoscope pieces. You can't go back to get any thing. I was missing one horoscope piece and I wonder if collecting all of them makes a different, like it does something.
I had a few puzzles that made me jump because I wasn't expecting the movement. I think some of the hops are hard. Some hops are lovely. It has 26 puzzles and 33 hops. Press Pass is the achievements. Very slow skips and hints.
I have a friend Jaguar who is beside the tool bar on a medallion who I use for certain things.
The one strange thing is a watering can in the glove box full of water. Great Summer game.
I recommend this game!

Hidden Expedition: The Fountain of Youth Collector's Edition
There’s more to this restoration project than meets the eye.
I like this game. The 5th and 6th chapter's game play was getting hard for me but besides that I liked the game. It has great extras. It's long with 6 chapters + bonus.
I visited Seville Spain, Sigiriya Sri Lanka, Tanzania Africa and the Socotra Island which is the only place on Earth that has the Dragon Blood Tree.
Collected 41 compass, 20 fact cards, 17 morphs in the hops, 32 souvenirs. Replay 17 hops and get all gold medals from the extra section. Replay 18 puzzles, 9 music and 12 video.
I liked the story of the main game and bonus chapter. The game play is not great and slow going. No replays on hops or mini-games. No replay on videos. 6 Chapters + bonus. I like how detailed and colorful the game is.
The banner for the Tarot cards you pick up during game play, won't take you to them until you find all the tarot cards. You have a message that said "This game is unavailable. You need to find all the tarot cards". Why have a banner to take you to them if you can't see them 36 times?
The bats on the tool bar that open their wings when you have something to find is nice looking. You don't purchase things for the Torture Chamber that moves and has info. They are the morphs you find in the scenes.
I had problems with the gameplay. Lots of back and forth. Didn't like the hops, they were either too dark or too washed out. The graphics are terrible, you can see grids on the faces. I didn't like most of the mini-games.
I liked the story, 30 collectibles dinosaur drawings and 16 souvenirs. In the bonus content the collection has a book of 10 dinosaur facts. The music is nice enough.
