That said, the graphics were gorgeous. VOS great. HOS are images only. Hints only in HOS. Interesting puzzles. Objects you find dont always do anything. Image HOS are a problem as they are part of the environment and harder to find. Guess that is the point! And tho there are problems with listed HOs, i.e., are we looking for a bat that flies, or a bat that hits baseballs, I still find them more interesting. Hope the image stuff is not the wave of the future for us Fishies. It is the typical fairy tale. But,very confusing where to go next as there is not a good guide for the next step. Stopped playing the game at 6 hours, casual, so it is obviously a long game. Just gave up in irritation of not knowing what to do next. A good game, tho, and would recommend it for the younger set. One of the very few games that I quit playing before it was over, but doesnt mean someone else might not love it.

Loved vanishing hitchhiker, but this one is not as good. Graphics pretty good except in HOS scenes, where they were murky and grainy. Had to use the flashlight a lot. Good storyline, HOS interactive. Nice touch with the inventory reconstructions. Good puzzles. Music is a little "shivery" as it should be. Only 6 hours on casual play even with chapter bonus. Still, a good game, and a good deal since I got it with BOGO.
Not quite up to Black Isle or Raincliff standards, but still a good game. No VOS, mini games hard, HOS mostly clear. Good storyline. 6 1/2 hours casual play.

This is primarily a HOS and games, many of both. HOS mostly clear, games hard, I thought, and skipped about half of them. Great storyline. Good graphics. No VOS, but characters excellent. An entertaining game, except for one thing, which is why I rated it 4 stars: some of the HOS scenes had irritating background noises; i.e., a siren going off every two seconds. Very distracting. Made me want to leave the scenes quickly. Casual play 6 hours.

Great game. Graphics, VOS, storyline all top notch. HOS are clear and interactive. Each chapter closes out the area, so not much running around. Good mini puzzles and characters. About 7 hours casual play.

Elf, the dog, was most helpful and so cute. Storyline good. Great graphics; HOS clear and mostly interactive. VOS and characters good. Nice hint system if you are stuck, tells you what to do. Puzzles were hard, had to skip a few. Sort of a macabre love story. 7 hours casual.

A fun game to play, even tho it makes you not want to fertilize your flowers ever again! Great graphics; some VOS; diary. Good storyline; HOS clear, most interactive. A quiet game: you can hear the background noises like waterfalls and birds singing, but very little music. Some running back and forth. Puzzles a bit hard, had to skip a few. No over click penalties. 7 hours casual play.
Another great boomzap Knightstone novel. Stunning graphics. Some VOS. Good characters, and great story. Not a lot of HOS, but what there is is very clear. This is mostly an adventure and needed items are picked up on the way. Several different locations, but each chapter ends so you start fresh with a new chapter. Nice music, too. Eagerly await another of this series. Six hours in casual play.
Some of the reviews seemed concerned about the suicide aspect, but it is instigated by someone else, and this is a mystery game. Would have rated higher, but way too many sparkles. I like to figure out some things on my own. HOS mostly clear, some interactive. Good storyline. No VOS. You can do HOS in 3D puzzle mode. Fair length (about 6 hours on casual mode). Worth buying, especially if it is on sale, as mine was. Good graphics.
