This is a dark, eerie, creepy hidden object adventure game. I loved it. The graphics are beautiful (sometimes disturbing because it includes bugs, rats, and bats, even in the hidden object games). The soundtrack is eerie and creepy, and also includes the squealing of bats and rats. The voiceovers are easily understandable, very well done.
The hidden object games are a lot of fun, junkpile style, but pretty challenging. The mini games also are pretty challenging and a lot of fun.
There is a lot to do in this game, picking up objects in one scene to use in another scene, trying to find who or what is responsible for the "plague" that seems to have befallen the town.
This is not for the faint hearted. There is also one chilling scene of a fallen Bobbie beset by bats.
I recommend this game!

This is a brilliant hidden object fantasy adventure. The graphics are beautifully done, from one visually compelling scene to the next. The soundtrack is excellent, dark and ominous when it needs to be. The voiceovers are clear, crisp, and realistic.
The storyline has been done before, but not like this. The uncle has been building a portal, the niece can't locate him, takes a train to find him, finds out he has transported himself through the portal into some unknown realm. She is off to save him.
The hidden object scenes are interactive, fun, and not junkpiles. They are integral to the game, not just afterthoughts to make it a hidden object game.
The mini games throughout range from moderately easy to moderately difficult. They are all fun, and some of them very challenging.
There is something to do every step of the way in this fast paced adventure, including finding 20 morphing objects.
This is an immediate buy. I don't want the adventure to stop.
I recommend this game!

The soundtrack is great; it pulls you in from the get-go.
The voice-overs are excellent. They are realistic and clear.

Two young thieves, a brother and sister, happen upon a ritual sacrifice while committing a robbery. It's a pretty scary scene. The sister is promptly locked up in a jail cell where she is able to escape.
The furry little helper, which I've come to expect in games anymore, is presented right at the beginning. It is a little ferret that will give you hints if you need them.
This game is dark, eerie, and creepy, just the way I like it.
I recommend this game!

There is no shortage of creep factor in this hidden object adventure for those of us who prefer a creepy, dark, and eerie game.
The voiceovers are great, as is the entire menacing soundtrack. Visuals are superb. The dead are roaming the streets since a "strange little man" came to town seeking a certain mirror from the town undertaker in exchange for an amulet of prosperity.
You travel through a mortuary, an underground sewer system, into a graveyard trying to pursue this "strange little man". There is a capuchin monkey that follows you along the way.
The mini puzzles are very challenging in this game. No boredom factor here. There is always something to do. There are hidden objects to find throughout the game, as well as in designated hidden object scenes. The scenes are masterfully done.
There is a "Destiny Fish", an amulet that had belonged to the little man, that you collect scales for during the game.
This is an excellent SE. I couldn't buy it fast enough.
I recommend this game!

This is an excellent hidden object adventure CE with beautiful visuals,
a nice soundtrack, excellent voiceovers. The characters are nicely done.
Mini puzzles are challening and a lot of fun. Hidden object scenes are
a little simplistic but still interesting and fun to play.

There is a journal and map that will take you right to the location you need
which is really helpful because there is a lot of "back and forth" and "running
around" in this game.

The storyline, with a kindapped heroine, although it has been done before,
is really interesting. The twist in this game is that there is a Weather Master
who is supposed to keep the weather moderate but instead becomes
so enthralled with his own power that he puts the kingdom into a deep
freeze. This causes a lot of problems for everyone involved.

This is well worth a SE price.
There is plenty to keep you busy in this game.

This isn't the solitaire that I play. This is more like a fast paced "Match 2" with bonus rounds that move like lightning.
It's like being in a casino with the music and the great graphics.

There is a storyline behind it. It is just a few pages after each set of games regarding a woman who has left her abusive husband. I didn't pay any attention to it but if you are purchasing this game for a child you will want to demo it first.
It was an immediate buy for me.
I recommend this game!

The graphics started out lackluster in the beginning then became more brilliant as the game progressed. The sound track was boring and two low key. The voice overs were very good.
The storyline was interesting. The player takes a bus to get a job from an old friend during the depression, meets his friend's strange boss, and is hoodwinked into playing a card game, where he becomes trapped in the ultimate game of survival.
The hidden object scenes are not bad, junkpiles with some interactivity. The mini games were pretty interesting. Throughout the game there are objects to collect to win an achievement. There are also achievements for finishing the hidden object games and mini puzzles without using hints.
There is a cute fuzzy purple little helper animal to retrieve things for you.
There are a lot of bells and whistles that could make a good game but this game was just too slow moving with too much handholding. It might be a good game for beginners or players who want something light and easy.
There was nothing in it to warrant a CE.
I don't recommend this game.

At first blush this seems like a simplistic strategy type game that is easily mastered. But it is a lot harder and complicated than it initially seems to be. It is fast moving puzzle game that becomes more complicated by the minute.
You hurl rocks at tanks, helicopters, enemies, and bombs, hoping to eliminate them all before King Oddball runs out rocks to throw. When you miss, and leave some of the enemy standing, and you will miss, there is a "try over" for every game which gives you a 2nd chance, 3rd chance, and in some cases for me, a 10th chance, to win that round.
This is so much fun but it is hard to describe. You will have to play it and make up your own mind.
It is a lot of great fun.
I recommend this game!

This is a fun time managment game. The graphics are nice with upbeat calypso music playing in the background.
The heroine takes a small sailing ship to an island in search of an ancient civilization calld the Endorus.
She hires workers and buys supplies to expand some tents and build others, upgrading all the campsites so the explorers who have come to the island will pay more "rent".
It is a really fun game. Be careful, it gets faster and more complicated as you reach different levels.
I recommend this game!
