For adults a very boring game. I only played for about 15 minutes by which time I was thoroughly fed up with all the HO's. Maybe it got better further along the game but I wouldn't know as I gave up. The only good thing was the relaxing music.
Very original. Excellent graphics. Music is from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite an all time favourite classic. Story line is amusing and enjoyable. Not too many HO’s which are well drawn and which do not have an overabundance of objects, some objects are interactive. The puzzles, of which there are quite a few, vary from fairly easy to quite difficult with the difficult ones taking some time to solve. A lot of the puzzles are original. All in all an interesting, amusing and varied game. The only downside, for me, was that there was far too much toing and froing being much more than is normal. However I still give this game 5 stars.
There must be something wrong with me. I fail to see how such an unwholesome game can attract so many stars. I played the demo for 30 minutes. The game started on a hidden object page of the usual find items by name. After all objects are found you move to the next scene which is another hidden object scene. When these objects are found you move to another hidden object scene…….After 10 scenes, all being find hidden objects and nothing else, I decided to retire. I thought the graphics’ quality were rather mickey mouse. Maybe as the game progresses it gets better, though I doubt this.
What was that all about. I didn't stay long enough to find out. A very second or, indeed, third rate game. Peculiar and poor graphics. An apparent silly storyline. A game to promote a very quick response to boredom. Definitely not one for me nor, I imagine, for many other gamesters.
Usual Detective story hunting for a murderer and for the reasons for the murder. Loads of HO scenes choosing from a mass of useless items. A cursor break-up if clicking too much. Loads of written dialogue. All in all a very ‘run of the mill’ game, nothing interesting. Maybe it gets better but I don’t know as I quit the demo. Would have suggested 2 stars but for all the HOs.
I don't recommend this game.

A lot of dialogue most of which was rather mundane and long winded. Too many HO's. Some very small items to find and some not very well drawn. Each HO page was full to the brim with objects. Boring concept of a game. I only played 20 minutes of the Demo so maybe the game is better than I think. However, reading other reviews probably not. The mini puzzles were ok but nothing exciting. This is definitely a game I will never finish.
HO after HO. Objects difficult to find as outline shapes are a bit hit and miss and there are many many items per HO, a real jumble yard. Graphics poor. You have to search for a magnifying glass to otain a hint. Only 2 hints per section. My review is based only on 31 minutes of the demo most of which was spent trying to find hidden objects of the find by name and silhouette type, needless to say I didn't progress very far into the game, also I lost interest. Definitely not a game to buy even on a reduced purchase price.
This game is very silly. Has a cursor breakup after 3 clicks. One HO after another of the find items by name. A few simple puzzles. I managed 23 minutes of the demo and had to call it a day for fear of dying of boredom.
Extremely pathetic storyline if it could be called a story line. To date this is the worst game I have played and I have played many.
If you want to go from one child’s room to another seeking HO's from a long list of childish items and you have a strong will power to survive you might, though probably not, find a limited amount of enjoyment in this game.
I cannot comment on the music as in the main this is terrible across most games and, thus, I always mute the music
I would like to rate this game with nil stars but there is no facility for this.
Oh Dear indeed. It is not possible for every game to be good. There are: The excellent. The very good. The good. The average. The mediocre. The poor and lastly The why bother. This game is so bad it doesn't even merit the why bother category. Flat graphics. Mainly all HO's of the find objects by name variety. Yawn. A very dull and boring game. I quit the demo after 5 minutes for fear of shooting myself! It was that bad. Unfortunately I had to give this game 1 star as there is nothing lower.
After playing the demo I purchased the game, as there appeared to be only a few HOG’s of the normal boring and tedious find objects by name. The game progressed with various interesting aspects of scenery and an unusual story line. The animation of the characters was a bit weird as the mouths were all teeth not very good graphics. The game graphics were of good quality and the game levels interesting. There was a fair degree of interaction in preparing various commodities to be used later in the game. As the game continued so did the HO’s which grew in number thus a slightly misleading demo for someone like me who hates a bundle of finding objects by name. For other HO haters of this type this is mitigated somewhat by the objects being large and, therefore, easily recognised also the objects themselves were far more interesting and nowhere as many as the usual plethora of junk items. The hint button is useful and recharges quickly. All in all this is an interesting game that I purchased on a Big Fish offer, as it does not merit a full purchase price. I would have rated this as 5 stars were it not for the number of HOGs.
