I was so excited to see Re-Drawn released: it was the first game I recall playing and have longed for another chapter in the saga. I have not yet completed the new version, but just hearing the familiar music and viewing the imaginative artwork brought back why this was such a transformative experience for me. I hope to see an update of the others in this trilogy and (even more) another episode in the Drawn adventure series.
I recommend this game!

Although this game was shorter than many, I appreciated the creativity, both in the story and the graphics. My favorite change was having the choice at the beginning as to whether I wanted more HOPs or puzzles and I chose the latter. I hope this begins a new trend in allowing the player to choose which they prefer.
I recommend this game!

Loved the graphics, music, complex puzzles, and the fact that it was an unusually long game. I particularly like the multi-layered puzzles and can't recall seeing those in recent games. Good choice if you like dark themes and disturbing imagery.
I recommend this game!

Got locked in room & can't get out

Favorite Genre(s):Adventure, Hidden Object
Several people complained of same problem: got locked in tower without critical object & now I can't move forward. This has never happened before but I see that I am not the only person who had this happen to them. I think that I need to get a refund or this needs to be fixed ASAP. I was really enjoying this as it was different from the ordinary games (that are often boring) but this is super-frustrating!
I don't recommend this game.

The story line was fairly typical, but the puzzles were genuinely interesting & at least one was difficult enough that I had to skip it (which I rarely do). Visuals were attractive and avoided the dark themes & colors that I do not enjoy. So, in my opinion, worth purchasing.
I recommend this game!

I am not sure why this game received such low ratings from several people. I thought it was unique (having each character go back in time to recover their own memories), the graphics were colorful and playful, and I always like games that are set in unusual locations. I am no longer interested in playing dark games that have depressing stories so I am attracted to stories that are based in myths, fairy tales, or make-believe adventures. The puzzles were difficult enough, but not overly frustrating. I definitely recommend this game.

I judge games on several criteria: graphics; music; complexity of puzzles; and (least important) story line. I do not really care for bleak, dark games, but really enjoy the fairy tale style games when they are developed for adults. The first game that really "caught" me was "Drawn" and I loved the remainder of that series. I am always looking for something that has a similar look to those games: beautiful drawings/graphics and a hopeful/friendly theme. Alice in Shadowland met all those criteria and kept me completely captivated throughout. Also, it is quite a long game so there was plenty of time to become immersed. I hope to see many more games of this quality in the future.
I recommend this game!

I love the colorful graphics & found the puzzles quite challenging (had to skip a couple which is unusual for me!). The story line was not particularly new or creative, but it did not discourage me from completing the game.
I recommend this game!

I love fantasy games and this one is full of dragons, beautiful imaginary kingdoms with unusual puzzles and not too many hidden object games. I choose games that are full of gorgeous animation, soothing music & puzzles that challenge my brain and this game has all three.

When I quit a game before completing it, this is usually because it has become repetitive: too many hidden object puzzles; the other puzzles repeats of those in other games, etc. This game had unique puzzles (most were completely new & fairly challenging), a more interesting story line, and great graphics. Definitely worth checking out.
