Yay... another creative offering from BFG... and I feel as though I got my gaming 'belly' full with this one ~~ looks like another real keeper.
A nice blend of slightly eerie fairy tale fun, mixed with charm, a pinch of humor and adventure, a sprinkle of H0G and a most importantly, combined with a HUGE scoop of imagination to keep the game unique and appealing from start to finish.
I absolutely loved it and my finger was on the BUY button the minute the DEMO was over.
They don't come along very often, yet when they do... they are done right. This one is one of 'those' and it is definitely not half baked.
Kudos to the developer and BFG. Thank you!!! :P
PS: I played on the most difficult level and found it very easy, yet thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless.
I recommend this game!

This original style adventure-quest strategy/TM game, is definitely different, in a league of it's own, and I mean that as a compliment in every way.
It is NOT as difficult as many have stated and once you get familiar with it via a slight learning curve, the game flows and I guarantee you, once in the flow of the game, you will NOT want to stop playing.
Give it a whirl on a day when you have time to explore it a bit... it's not entirely 'plug and play' due to being a bit different, yet it is NOT DIFFICULT either....it's just A WHOLE LOT OF FUN!
I loved it.... and it is definitely a keeper for me.
Thumbs up developer and BFG!!!

Haven't completed playing the CE; had to stop and put in my 5 stars.
There is so much imaginative gameplay here, it is a treasure- trove thus far IMO and truly an adventure [ish] game that takes you in and lures you on to continue playing.... deep in and through little village town and forest... where you will utilize/meet and compete with magical beings, flora and fauna, portals and potions to meet your goals.
From the graphics, sound SFX, music to cut scenes, the game just screams WOW take me on an adventure I won't forget! Nothing creepy gruesome nor overtly occultish, either; just GREAT, creative, magical, mystical, fairytale-ish, fun.
Yay to the developer, team and BFG for a TRULY unique and intriguing game... I am just loving it.
Give it a try... don't let the reviews harping on an adorable little dragon scare you away, either [not overly cutesy IMO and blends in, being very game-theme appropriate!].

Kidding, since I don't drink, at least not while playing games...
I thought this would have good potential when I began, yet it missed the addictive qualities most good TM's offer.
I didn't care for the characters; specifically the customers, and it felt very one dimensional overall in both graphics and gameplay.
I would like to see them go back to the drawing board and give this a bit more oomph. We DO need some more variety TM games after all!
Do give it a whirl yourself... games, like food, appeal to some and not to others.

I love the Dash games, the Delicious Series (not on BFG), the Cake, Burger, Supermarket... just about ALL TM and this one is no exception.
The graphics, perhaps could have been a bit more elaborate as far as background scenery, yet other than that small quibble, I thoroughly enjoyed this one and, in fact, have played it a number of times already...
To get the initial expert on each level is rather easy, yet there are times when easy is just right, and then after accomplishing the first level in expert, it unlocks the game in an expert mode to further increase the challenge.
I liked.
Definitely check it our for yourself and give it a chance.... well worth it IMO.
I recommend this game!

....my favorite type!.... bwahaahaa.
Haven't finished the game, but had to stop to write a quick review since I saw SO many negatives... to me, this is a REALLY COOL GAME; it caught me right up immediately. It's quite different and great mix of intriguing storyline; one that sort of immerses you immediately because it starts as an ordinary day and then......!?
I absolutely love games that are 'outside of the box' and imaginative with something a bit unordinary to offer and this one offers a lot of that IMO.
A mix of theme, puzzle, action, interactive adventure, HOG.... and beautiful graphics, both static and cut scene... truly amazing thus far.
Won't be for everyone, but some will love it. I do!!
I recommend this game!

Based on the DEMO:
I agree with the few who gave positive reviews for this game and don't understand the multitude of complaints: this is a good little game and technically speaking, for me at least, it filled my wide screen monitor completely and the graphics were clear and realistic.
The atmosphere is appropriately spooky and not overly dramatic... a nice change from the same ole same ole busily embellished graphics and scenes so common now in almost every casual game that comes along.
Overall, a nice little detective mystery and pleasantly eerie diversion for a rainy afternoon or dark of night.
I am bumping my star rating up a bit to balance the overly negatives so as not to deter potential fishies from trying this game and will definitely purchase this adventure(ish#-heavy game #ie. it requires you to "work" a little to figure out the game scenarios as the mystery evolves).
Thanks BFG!
BTW: Though no proof, I suspect a few of the 'newer' games may have copied the format of some aspects of the game and not vice-versa as some suspect.
DEFINITELY CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF : )

You will enjoy this if you enjoy creative adventures without hand holding (yet there are choices for difficulty as well) and if you have a good imagination as I do; I am enjoying this unique little game immensely.
Overall, this may be considered more of an old school adventure style HOG with heavier emphasis on adventure*; don't let the 'old school' part deter you from giving it a whirl!
*[Due to the graphics and rather small/dark HOG, is the reason for categorizing it as old school], yet the game as a whole is right on target in theme and style and pure interest driven adventure, that this game can definitely hold it's own in comparing it to any of the well known games by devs with all the bells and whistles IMO.
You will note that many fishies either love or hate this game... and the others fall in between; definitely give it a try and find out where you fall in that range.
I really, really am enjoying it immensely. The poetic leads were great and overall concept a wonderful change of pace from the norm.
Thumbs up!! : )

A thoroughly enjoyable 'Dash' knock-off TM game.
Given it's spooky-lite overtone, it proves especially fun to play to kick off the Fall season with Halloween just around the corner.... yet any time of year it's lots of fun, so don't let the season stop you from playing this charmer all year round.
Oh and beware, not just of the ghosts and other spooks, but also of the potential that it may prove to be addictive! :}
Definite thumbs up.
Enjoy!! :)

Though it appears the majority didn't, I enjoyed the demo and how can one lose for $2.99!? I bought and am looking forward to 'sinking my teeth' into this vaguely epic vampire saga.
Thumbs up. :)
