I always appreciate artistic and a fun variety of puzzles, this game was better than most on this.
I loved finding the coins and buying items at the shop, wish they had different shops to purchase or trade different items or clues to where items are hidden... there is so much to expand on that one new feature to the game.
Had a good amount of areas to roam around, the areas were fun, and had good variety.
The bonus play was good, I would say great if it was a bit longer. Still, I enjoyed it and recommend the CE. But for double the price these developers need to make longer bonus play!
I recommend this game!

I bought the CE and regret it because the bonus game play was ridiculously short.
I loved the puzzles, so creative, artistic and fun with lots of variety.
Great graphics with the exception of the underwater scene - too muddy and hard to see the objects.
Love the whimsical writing and comments, newspapers.... I was laughing all the way through.
Disappointing end, they should have had the giant fish jump up and swallow Undertow whole!
I recommend this game!

What a creative game with fun, artistic and a good variety of puzzles. Loved it!
Great graphics, although the underwater part was a bit too muddy.
Excellent writer, loved the whimsical banter, the newspapers, and comments when you clicked on things. Very funny. I was laughing all the way through.
Game was long, the only thing is I feel the bonus game play was lame, way too short this is definitely not worth a CE- I would suggest getting the SE.
Also disappointed at the end that the giant fish didn't jump up and swallow Undertow whole! that was lame.
I don't recommend this game.

Long game and good length bonus game play makes it a good CE. There were plenty of places to go but I felt there were areas of the town like the shops in the main part that could have been utilized and were not.
It was slighty confusing of where to go at times, and boring at times which is weird because I thought it was a good game, maybe because the characters were a bit drab.
The graphics were good but a bit dark in some areas. Still very detailed. This should have been and excellent game but I feel it was lacking some fun in it and I can't pin point what it is. I thought it was creative, I liked the buttons on the right for the rat and crow whistle...
The puzzles were good, but not great. A bit easy and not varied enough.
Overall I think it's worth buying and I did enjoy it but it could have been more fun. I should have loved this game, what I loved was the length and bonus play.
I recommend this game!

This is the same developers as Ghost Towns - Cats of Uthar, I love the hint button characters they create, I like the creativeness of these games but the graphics need to be updated.
I wish they would stop posting bonus content, does this mean bonus gameplay? Some say bonus gameplay and some CE's say bonus content, what's the difference? They need to clarify this, it better be a good bonus gameplay to make this game worth the CE price.
The puzzles a bit too easy, I don't like super hard but not too easy.
I don't know why these pansy remarks I read all the time about these games are too scary.. blah blah, are you serious?! This is kindergarden stuff. None of these games on Big Fish are remotely scary.
I like this game but not sure it's CE worthy. If anybody buys the CE please remark on the bonus play, is it worth it?
I recommend this game!

I liked the originality of this kitty concept, thought it was fun. Liked finding the cats. I thought it was cute.
The graphics have something to be desired, not so fabulous.
The extra play was good but I always it expect it too be longer for the CE price since I don't care about anything but the extended bonus play.
I had fun playing this game just wish the graphics were better.
I recommend this game!

Graphics were ok, there are some new and way more crisp and with much better graphics out there now.
***One thing I hate about this game and others is when I go down to my inventory a window pops up with the choice to leave game, continue... Seriously annoying!!!!! Developers get rid of this option we know where the menu button is and how to get out if we want! Let me get in my inventory without having to choose continue every time!*** For that alone this game loses one star, I would have chosen 4 stars otherwise.
This game was a bit on the toddler side, but still fun. The puzzles were different and interesting which I always like but they were a bit on the easy side but that's ok with me, it wasn't too easy they kept my interest with the creativity.
The extra game play was too short for double the $$, not worth a CE cost as far as I'm concerned. But still recommend game, sure.
I recommend this game!

Love Mystery Case Files, all their games are so fun and interesting. Well worth the money. They really put a lot of thought into there games.
So many places to go and things to find, I love using my brain like this instead of brainless HO piles after piles. I love the adventure.
Long game, it took forever and that is a plus!!! Plus if you do get stuck the hint button pushes you in the right direction without a fuss. Although, I would like a slight less direct approach so I still have to guess a tiny bit.
I have a new macbook and was lucky I got through the game, seems this series is having issues with Lion and it crashed a few times. I hope they get on it and update their games! Please.
I recommend this game!

Fantastic graphics and awesome adventure! Everything from the HO piles, puzzles and find and seek were well balanced. Had a lot of different things to do and it wasn't too hard, a bit easy but still super fun.
Not a lot of backtracking, lots of places to go, it was long enough but it went so fast it seemed short, I wanted to keep going :)
One of the best CE I've played.
I recommend this game!

Really creative and different. Lots of adventure and puzzles, long game :) Good brain teaser. Graphics are excellent, they really put a lot of thought in this game and it shows.
One of my favorites! Better than the first one.
The bonus play was great, had lots of places to go and revisit, it was long enough that I felt my money was well spent.
Well balanced game, I hate it when it's one HO pile after another and this had it all and more.
I recommend this game!
