I do not have the problem with the mouse that the previous poster had. Story line picks up from original game and continues on. Looks like I will have a lot of fun!

I played the game on "daytime" - had a pretty good time. Went to play "nighttime" the next day and it locked on a magnified scene and had to close the game through task manager. I uninstalled/reinstalled and it was the same thing. I uninstalled again and I went into File Explorer and then into Program Files and Program Files x86. I deleted anything that had Crowded Mysteries in the title. I then reinstalled. It worked until I logged out again. So, I guess you have to play both "daytime" and "nighttime" at one sitting to get what you pay for...
Played the entire Collector's edition game - got over 4 days out of it - 2 of which were weekend days which I played almost all day. Cannot wait for the next one to come out. Totally immersive.

I bought this game years ago - long before Big Fish - then lost it and bought it again...this time on Big Fish!!!
It is consistently one of my "go-to" games - whenever I get bored with what is out there, I replay this....and the sequel - Go Go Gourmet: Chef of the Year.
If you like TM/HOG games - buy it - you will enjoy it for many years....
Love the opening scene, but opening scenes don't make the game...
The "directions" for the level, in the bottom left corner, are very hard to see/read. If you are going to have multiple directions (i.e. click to continue) the developer needs to make sure the timer doesn't start until you have read through everything.
On the other hand, the gameplay is different enough that I enjoyed it! If you like build/tm/strategy games, give it a try!
I will probably buy it, but just resign myself to reading the directions, restarting the level, then playing the level.

I bought this the day it was released...and the review page was not here....
This game is challenging, fun, and has immense replayabliity.
All of the issues (ideas) that I had for the game have been addressed directly to the developer in the forums...I suggest you read it. he was extremely active and receptive to the feedback.
I am downloading and BUYING the sequel - that is how much faith I have in this developer!
