This is definitely a kid's game. Way too easy for an adult. The music is grating--had to turn it off. Good for parents.to play with young children. Cute and unstimulating for adults.
I recommend this game!

This games is a steal at one credit!! It was fun to play, esp. when the unexpected happens. The mini-games were challenging, and the HOS were good. The hint system is also good; it directs you in the right direction, and is good in the HOS too. I will definitely buy this one.
I recommend this game!

I played the full hour of the demo. The hint system is very good, but it is too too slow to fill. And you have to use the hint to find objects in the HOS. Some words I had no idea of what I was looking for and still couldn't find after many random clicks. There was too much talking, and you had to read fast to catch it all. I could never figure out what to do, and the hint helped, but it was still irritating (that I had to use it so much) The comments were funny when you used an inventory button unappropiately. That was the only good thing.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is a HOS lovers dream. Lots of them. And that is the fun part. However, I didn't particularly like the mini-games, as I could only finish one (skipped the others#.I only played the demo, and could not figure out what to do with the inventory items. In fact, in the hour demo, I could not use a single inventory item #though I tried). I didn't find the navigation difficult, and think most people rated this game too harshly. It is an okay game, esp. if you like HOS.
I recommend this game!

I have read all the reviews. However, I don't rate this a five star game. It is more of the same old games as before. It lacks something, and I wasn't engrossed with it. I found myself waiting for the demo to finally end. It does have good graphics, and I love the attention to detail. I like the cut-scenes. I wish the characters could talk. The story is mildly interesting, but not enough to make me want to buy the game right away. Will keep it on my lengthy "to buy someday" list
I recommend this game!

I Hated this game so much, that i had to delete it after only 20 minutes of play. I don't usually delete trials, unless they are truly awful. Haven't played the first Pahelika. No hint system,and this game really needs it. The rooms are too dark, and the music is annoying. Couldn't figure out what to do to progress. Couldn't get the TV to work, couldn't figure out the lever, and couldn't open the big chest. Bah. Bah.
I don't recommend this game.

I had trouble figuring out what to do in this game. I had to use the hint button a lot, which I don't like to do. I like to figure things out for myself. That said, the hint system was excellent.I guess I would like this game more if it was easier. However, even so, I didn't like all the sparkles in the casual mode. Most gamers are smart, and not stupid (to need all those sparkles).
I recommend this game!

I haven't random click in a long time; without clear instructions from the assistant, this is what i ended up doing. I liked some aspects of the game, like flapping wings to make clouds disperse, and some of the graphics were nice. However, it was slow to navigate between scenes, and I hated having to use the assistant to play the game. This game still needs work to make it fun.
I don't recommend this game.

I wanted to like this game more, but i got very frustrated trying to remember---not just what i needed to pick up, but mostly where to go. I kept getting lost in the train station.When I finally figured out the hint system, it was easier. I guess I should have played the tutorial, which I usually never do (after playing so many games).It is a beautiful game to watch, so I will recommend it.
I recommend this game!

I don't usually buy a game after the demo, chosing to think about it first. But this is a definite buy for only one credit!! It is a lovely game to look at, with plants rather than buildings. The games are too easy, though, for an adult. Still, it was fun to play. I love cut-scenes in a game. This game was actually spooky!!! It would have been better with voice overs.
I recommend this game!
