This is based on the full game and Bonus game. Snow Hill is a magical town that preserves the Spirit of Christmas for the whole world. But now an evil sorceress threatens to plunge Snow Hill into eternal darkness! Do you have what it takes to save Christmas? It was OK for me. I was thinking that will be a great Christmas game and it only confused me more. It started out as a mystery game, than flipped to a Santa game then back and forth. It doesn't tell you which direction to go in and I needed to "hint" quite a bit. The map they gave tells you where you are and possibilities of where to go and not what needs to be done. Your running back and forth and back and forth. After getting to the end of the demo I was really wondering if I should buy it or not. (I got it for free) and I was disappointed. They should of made it a Mystery Game or a strait out Christmas game. Not smooshing them together.
Usually when I try new games I have to be hooked within the 10 minutes or I'm done. I was intrigued after around 5 minutes to complete the Demo version. Overall Game Play: Great fun game, Purchased CE after playing demo. Help little Jessie find her brother and who is behind so much of the tragedy in the Flatsbury Family. You play as Ms.Gale. Getting that out of the way, I found that the sound is good. The voices are good as well, colors are great with the theme of game. HOS scenes are all different in demo. Nice and sharp.The mini games are great, playing at the three different challenges. Casual, Normal, Hard. There are morphing objects and pictures you need to find frames for and puzzle pieces to get the whole gist of the story. I enjoyed it. Hope you will too, and I hope this helped.
To save your father from a hideous monster, you've decided to sacrifice your own freedom. Now you must journey through a strange and magical land before time runs out!
What a fantastic game! Within 10 minutes in the trial I bought the entire game. This game is beautifully done. Vivid colors, great mini games, wonderful HOS, and the story itself is fantastic. You start buy playing a daughter helping to save your fathers life. When he steals a caged golden nightingale. The beast told the father what would happen if he didn't meet the requirements, "Either you come back and serve me for life, or your daughter does by tonight, or die at midnight." While on this quest it changes. A female sorcerer is out to keep you from reaching your goals. Along the way you will meet some fun little creatures. The best part, this is a long playing game. One to play again and again. I highly recommend this game.

Could it be Princess Rapunzel is somehow involved with the haunting melody she sings appears to summon the pollen? Or the mysterious person who is constantly following her? In this exciting Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure the secrets you uncover may be darker than you imagined. * Fantastic graphics and color. Great sound effects. * Find as many different flowers to unlock Parables, as well as the changing objects. * I haven't reached the bonus game , but from all the others in the past it's a preview of the next game and who the character it will be. I'm excited about this game. I'm looking to that. *The only problem I had was the map. It lights up where you need to go, but you won't be able to "transport" just a bit more running around. That's not a problem. Enjoy Everyone!
This is based on the one hour demo. The storyline is great. The graphics are excellent as well as the voice overs which are very well done. There are lots of puzzels and some hidden object scenes. The "helps" in the HOS are fun and unique. You can time travel in the HOS to find all the items in that time too. Over all, you quickly get obsorbed in the story and the game. A definate must have for your game collection!

I like the story of Little Red Riding Hood, so I thought this would be a great game. It isn't. The graphics are rough, the sound quality is OK, the story line is lame. It was easy, I'm basing this on the one hour trial. I wouldn't get this game even for a free game.
I wasn't sure what to make of this game so I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. It's different than any other game I tried. It's an adventure game and your playing in first person as a monk. You have a mission to discover a murder and find out what else is going on. I played the demo and am still debating on purchasing this game. Good for a free game!
I recommend this game!

The Stroke of Midnight
A romance author has stumbled upon a Victorian-era love triangle, and must reunite the long lost lovers in the afterlife!
There are good parts and not so good parts. Good Parts: The main story line was good. Your a romance author in search for your creativity and stumbled upon a broken hearted, never to be together couple. How the game zoomes from place to place is pretty cool and the graphics are pretty crisp. The not so good. There is not help button on trying to figure out your moves. It is unlimited and no waiting only in HOS. The constant opinion of the author is annoying. It fallows you everywhere and every step you will make. That got old really fast. Over all... it's Ok. Try the demo. I played for the whole hour and am not going to buy.
What an incredably cool game! Fantastic graphics, love the "live people" that play the characters. The story line is compelling. Your going to be a psychic and you need to help a girl who is a Jane Doe. I'm not going to give the rest away. The mini games are great and the HOS are just right. Not too hard you can't find them and not too easy where they are glaringly obvious. This is a must play must buy game. You will not be disappointed.
