this game was any fun, had a marvelous story line,or what the bells and whistles did for this game.
the graphics were so out of focus, it gave me a headache just to see the game, then i found how wide and gaping the mouth of the old woman when talking maddening distracting to the point that i didn't make it passe the first 5 minutes.
perhaps at some other time, i'll check to see if the problems were caused by a download meant for mac computers instead of for pc's which happened to me once,
I don't recommend this game.

i used a free game coupon when this came up on tomorrows game today when it did,so there weren't any reviews posted,i've hesitated posting what i think of it because i didn't like it.
i didn't mind the feeling that the game looked & felt like a redesigned match three game,i did and do mind the timer, i don't use a plug & play game controller, or any of my computers other niffy features,like voice control.i use my mouse which misses every now & then.. i know my fault,brings down my scores.when playing timed games.
won't matter how many sequels,how well packaged and presented they are this series isn't for me.
again this game left me feeling exhausted from trying to keep up with the timer which wrecked the seek & find the hidden objects for me.i'm closer to seventy than sixty maybe that will explain my personal dislike for timed hidden objects,or for puzzles that have nothing to do with a games story.
i'm only in the games second chapter and doubt i will bother to finish it,or the game itself
I don't recommend this game.

i bought this game after doing a moment of the demo, knowing i'd enjoy this game on a hot august afternoon here in texas, wasn't the case. i must have uninstalled then installed this game three if not four times from sheer aggravation with the puzzles.
you all did the same thing another developer did, you increased the duration of the puzzles making the game tedious tiresome and aggravating.
i want to take out my frustrations with the ponds folks you developers go to to review your games.
how many times in so many ways have they had to tell you ALL they dislike the CASUAL GAME GENRES they have succeeded in just about wrecking the industry, for all of us.
i can't image what it's like for your staff to hear their never ending criticisms, carping that nothing they have done have made them change their minds about their dislike for casual games of any kind that they're dislike for hidden object games in particular hasn't and will not change meanwhile they don't buy them in order to review them do they.
i bought this one and are about to say if i see the word puzzle in the description i might not force myself through another experience as i just had with never ending puzzles durations for each puzzle and this game isn't the only game that added to the puzzle durations other developers have done it to appease the pond critics.
personally i think your staff who put the game together in the first place ought to write a review type statement on why they think we will enjoy their work,they have gotten awfully good at creating ways to make us part of the story, we understand that certain always being reworked scenes enable them to bring the adventure aspect easier.
i always see if i can guess from what game the original reworked scene came from and where else it has been
i just can't stand still any longer and silent that our beloved hidden object causal games are thing of the past because of folks who never cared for the genre in the first place.
i for one will miss the lovely art work story telling and game play because of never ending puzzle durations such as having to balance a flying kite for way to long felt like ii was at it for several minutes made me stop at it and uninstall then install the game.. which was only 1 of the many times i did with this game.
i am still bewildered over why you wrecked your well thought out game with adding durations to your puzzles that were aggravating for some of us.
I recommend this game!

why are hidden object game developers caving to the desires of key contributors who openly say they strongly dislike all hidden object games,
i just finished this game elephant,whose games i had adored,you turned this seriously wonderful game into what it wasn't at the last minute by adding to your abundant of nonsense puzzles.. you made this game barely tolerable,it was toilsome tedious to spend my spare time get away time at. your staff who had the chore of adding to those puzzles had attitude about having to do so.yes they did.your puzzles were nearly never ended
start a new genre for those who want a never ending escape room can barely solve puzzles category and go back to why we who BUY your games bought them,for your wonderful art for the morphing objects and hidden object scenes.you let those at the pond who you give your games too to review darn near ruin the hidden object genre with their escape room puzzle desires ..and elephant your not the only developers whose has caved to their want for you all to change the hidden object genre..
with that said Big Fish we who buy your games need a place here to talk outloud with each other about difficulties or about the pleasures we are experiencing with one another on the games we buy we have no where on internet highways to go.
I recommend this game!

i enjoy a variety of games.
i get frustrated with them when the game flow is disrupted with puzzles that have nothing to do with the story and game play.
let me loudly praise DOMINI games for loading this game with puzzles that fit in with the game, goes along with the story.
GIVE ME MORE PLEASE !!!
i adore spending my time at this game,so much so that when that flash of old age grumpiness overwhelmed me for that moment it can.. an i exit out of something, click on skip. exclaim this that the other. lol
i actually restarted this game from the beginning several times. mostly from those old age grumpiness flashes an well i forgot there is a walk through guide..
just so you know i haven't yet finished this game, that i disrupted myself to shout out at DOMINI GAMES and strongly suggest to you all to try this game.
if i have to leave a critique, it be over how the mouths move when characters speak,
otherwise,
this is one of those games that i want to experience, complete every facet of.
and i think those of you like me who just want to escape their own minds..
for a while will enjoy this gem of a game and even the story line !
I recommend this game!
