Completed Game approximately 4.5 hours (including completion of all mini-games & CE Bonus Chapter) 17 Main Game Scene Locations +8 Bonus Chapter Difficulty Range: Beginner
I no longer play Betas, so I was expecting an amazing game aboard the Enchanted Express. Okay, one can't help but associate the "other" enchanted "northern-cold" express with this Enchanted Express. This game couldn't be further from that amazing tale, in fact, I was only aboard this amazing express 3 times for 3 seconds each and nothing about those 3 seconds reminded me of a train much less an Enchanted Christmas Train! Instead of a Tom Hanks kind of conductor, I got a perverted Grinch!
This man was pure EVIL, what kind of Christmas MORAL is that? These children are not only being punished for being children, for a simple lapse in judgment, but they are also kidnapped, threatened, instilled with fear that their family will be harmed, they are forced to do whatever the evil man tells them to do, and ultimately learn that the evil adult can do dreadful things to them and their loved ones (far worse than eating or breaking a gingerbread house) and gets away with it while they live in fear for his return (which was his ultimate threat) What kind of MORAL is that? What will next years Christmas game be about, a local thug who opens up a van door and offers candy to the little boys and girls?
Helper/Gadget: There is a Mouse Helper Sidekick (explaining more will be a spoiler) He is as quiet as a mouse but he does fidget a bit as he stands in the bottom left corner awaiting his helpful duties. He is used 8 different times, most of which were at the end of chapter 2 and chapter 3.
Morphing Objects/Collectibles: (CE version only) There are 12 Collectible Mascots and 25 Morphing Stockings that morph at medium speed, but morph into a similar object to make it less obvious. Most of the Zoom Zones have a fairly well-hidden Puzzle Piece that allows you assemble 4 Screensaver Jigsaws (12 pcs each) This developer never lets you return to the scene to pick up missed collectibles so don't board the train if there are zoom zones still available to open.
Hidden Object Scenes: There are 16 Hidden Object Scenes +6 in the CE Bonus Chapter. I wasn't impressed with any of the HO Scenes, they were blurry or fuzzy, and none of them were creative or interesting considering they had an amazing theme to work with! There are Interactive List Finds, Multiples of Items Finds, Silhouetted Shape Finds, Keywords in Sentence Finds, Find & Replace Items, Uncover Matching Pair Finds as well. There are no alternate games available.
Mini-Games: There are 17 Mini-Games +8 in the CE Bonus Chapter. They did a nice job converting normal puzzles into Christmas-themed puzzles that are doable for most players. They also introduced a Super-Puzzle or multi-layered version for the first time! Here are a few of the ones I enjoyed the most:
1-A Super Puzzle requiring you to tinker with different parts of the Rube-Goldberg puzzle. 2-Use directional arrows to push and/or drop cubes to make matches that removes them. 3-A somewhat challenging version of "Blocks". 4-Marble Popping Game. 5-Find the starting point & push all buttons according to the direction the arrows point, to land on the central bells. 6-Place tokens in the correct order to complete the image, from last to first.
Bonus Chapter (Collector's Edition version only)
Welcome to Catstown, (population 1̶0̶0̶ ̶b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶, 2̶0̶0̶ ̶b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶, 275 billion (Ain't nobody from Catstown makin' an appointment at the local Spay/Neuter Clinic voluntarily) The King of Catstown shushed away a giant cat who accidentally crushed a few of the local residents' houses, causing the fat feline to cry so loudly the stars fell from the sky. Never fear, for Mr. Catlock Catis is here, along with his sidekick Mr. Squirrel of course. This is a much better story and certainly should have been the focus of the main game. There are only 8 Scene Locations in this average-length chapter about Morals, with 8 Mini-Games and 6 Hidden Object Scenes. You will search for the remaining 3 Collectible Mascots, 8 Morphing Stockings, and 12 Puzzle Pieces which allows you to complete the final screensaver.
Collector's Edition Extra's 12 Wallpapers, 12 Concept Art Pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 23 Achievements, 12 Replayable Mini-Games, 13 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, Secret Room (additional search & find) 12 Collectible Mascots, 25 Morphing Stockings, 48 Zoom Zone Puzzle Pieces, 4 Screensaver Jigsaw Puzzles (12 pieces each) 3 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a Built-In Strategy Guide.

DID YOU GUYS SLAP THIS GAME TOGETHER DURING A CO. CHRISTMAS PARTY AFTER A BIT TOO MUCH YULETIDE CHEER?
PostedDecember 19, 2019

fromThe Yule Log is a tradition that goes back to medieval times, the tree's base was placed in the fire & the rest of the tree stuck out. It was slowly fed embers from the previous year's Yule log for the 12 days of Christmas by someone with clean hands ⛄

What the flying, one-eyed bats were these folks drinking at the company Christmas Party? I'd like to remind everyone that a Chimera has the body of a female Lion with a Goat's head protruding from the lion's shoulder, her tail is that of a serpent with a snake's head and she usually has wings similar to a dragon. The Chimeras' in this game are bats with a cyclops eye and vampire fangs, the most ridiculous interpretation of a Chimera you could possibly imagine. (unless, of course, they have really good Yuletide "cheer" in Ukraine) The bizarreness doesn't end with a few fake-looking bats (nor does it start there) one minute you're investigating the disappearance of the Butler and the mansion's owner, the next scene you portal into another dimension with no rhyme or reason. There's no real plot, the story jumps from one focal point to the next. Is it a paranormal game? A detective who-dun-it game? A fantasy game? A transgender game? A greek mythology Chimeras game? They were definitely testing their boundaries, which I'm okay with, it doesn't bother me, but while pushing the envelope, they lost sight of everything else, mostly the plot and fun factor which IS a BIG deal, and I'm not okay with that!
ps: why do you have us find a wrench, use that wrench one time, lose the wrench mysteriously after a single use even though there were two zoom zone scenes literally side by side that required a wrench? How could I lose the wrench if I didn't leave the room? Wouldn't it make more sense that I would search the same room for said wrench?
pss: some of us play a game to earn ALL of the ACHIEVEMENTS. Isn't that the point of offering achievements? Aren't they supposed to be goals you strive to achieve??? WHY would you have an achievement for NOT skipping any of the Mini-Games and an achievement for SKIPPING ALL Mini-Games!!! Why would you offer an achievement for listening to ALL dialogs and one for SKIPPING ALL dialogs? Does that really make sense to you? Who on earth would think it was a great idea to offer achievements which ultimately set's the player up for failure because it's IMPOSSIBLE to earn all of them????????????????
Helper/Gadgets: I'm pleased to report that there were no Gadgets or Helpers harmed in the making of this game, however, HR is looking into the Yuletide Cheer stockpile shortage which seems to have been depleted unusually fast this year.
Collectibles/Morphs: They actually got the Morphs and Collectibles right! Each of the 25 scene locations has a Morphing Object that morphs at a nice pace and is well-blended into the background. The objects morph into a similar object with similar colors which make them less noticeable and somewhat challenging to spot at times. There are 12 Collectible Cards about various Cursed Objects that can be found in some of the Zoom Zones, and they did an incredible job of blending the cards into the scenery as well. I was most impressed with the infamous Elephant Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces. In the past, these puzzle pieces were the size of baby Elephants and could be spotted a mile away, and they always located in just the Zoom Zones. This time they have hidden 1 jigsaw in the scene itself, and the other 2 in zoom zones, and they are more obscure than in previous games.
Hidden Object Scenes: There are 20 Hidden Object Scenes +6 in the CE Bonus Chapter. Most of the scenes are Interactive Lists or Silhouetted Shape Finds but there are Keywords in Sentence Finds, Fragment Finds, Spot the Difference, and Multiples of the Same Object Finds as well. There are no alternate puzzles offered.
Mini-Games: There are 20 Mini-Games +6 in the CE Bonus Chapter. They are the same puzzles offered in hundreds of other Elephant Games. Here are a few of my favorites from the game:
1-Place flower-shaped pieces onto the board. 2-Align vertical bars so the gaps align with horizontal bars to remove them. 3-Use rotation buttons to guide a ball to the central hole. 4-Select a key section from the left and right sides to swap until all sections interlock. 5-Place skulls correctly according to eye color and shape.
Bonus Chapter (CE version only) The Carringtons have invited you to their Christmas party but before you can enjoy the Yuletide Festivities and create your own bazaar game you'll have to deal with a former resident of the mansion. This is a short chapter that spans over 7 different scene locations with 6 Hidden Object Scenes and 6 Mini-Games. You will pick up the remaining 3 Collectible Cards, 7 Morphing Objects and 12 Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces to complete the final 12 piece Jigsaw Puzzle Screensaver.

Let me start by saying that Mahjong is my least favorite game genre, however, if they have a lot of exciting features like Legendary Slide, for example, I like them. Unfortunately, this one doesn't have a lot to offer and the graphics are rather dull and unappealing. There is one tileset that is supposed to be Christmas-themed, but other than a blue and a red Santa tile, the rest of the tiles are just winter-themed and not very Christmassy.
You can customize the Tiles by choosing Squared or Rounded Corners, select from 5 colors for the Tiles' Border, an icy-blue or wooden style background and you can choose the graphics of the Tilesets with a Traditional Mahjong style, 2 Numbered styles, a Flower/Garden theme, a Pink Ocean-theme or a Christmas/Winter tileset.
There are two Mahjong Modes available, a Classic Mode or traditional mode where you remove identical tiles that aren't blocked by other tiles or a Matching mode where you match tiles that correspond with the tile images shown in the bottom frame.
There are 120 Levels with various Tile Layouts. The goal is to remove tiles to expose the Lock and Key tiles. Once you match the specified number of Lock and Key tiles, the game ends even if other tiles remain on the board. You can earn up to 3 Stars per level, depending on how many moves it takes to remove the Lock and Key tiles, and you can replay the levels as often as you want, to try for a better star rating.

Detective Dupin has asked us to help him save the world again after portals began appearing and disappearing throughout our world. The Gaming World's began fusing and the boundaries between them blurring which will bring an end to all Worlds if a solution isn't found quickly. It looks like the dastardly deeds of Saint Germain have struck once again, this time with deadly consequences for life as we know it!

Little has changed over the last 38 games in just 5 short years. They added multiple colors, they added tile styles, they added locked colors, they added multiple difficulties including Zen mode, but #38 is basically the same, nothing new or different added.
Zen Mode has returned if you prefer to solve the griddlers without all the hand/flipper holding. In Zen Mode, the numbers aren't crossed off but Mistakes aren't counted against you either, because chances are, you'll have to edit some of the cells as you switch colors. You can delete filled-in or crossed-off cells by right-clicking the cell in Zen Mode, and you'll know you have completed a particular color correctly because a checkmark will appear on the color bubble.
In addition to the new Zen Mode, you can also choose to play in a Casual Mode which crosses off the cells one by one, or the Advanced Mode, which only crosses off the remaining cells once the entire row and column have been filled in. You will earn a Gold trophy if you make no mistakes, a Silver trophy if you make one mistake and a Bronze trophy if you make two mistakes. You will also earn up to three gold Stars if you don't use any hints, one star is deducted each time you use a hint. Therefore, it is possible to make a mistake or two but still earn 3 stars as long as you don't use any available hints.
There are 20 locations, and each location has 5 Griddlers each. You can choose from 7 different tile sets, ranging in color vibrancy and styles. Locked Colors can be disabled in the Settings menu, otherwise, some of the colors are locked and unavailable until you uncover color-specific keys that are hidden beneath some of the filled-in cells The Eye feature allows you to hide the grid to get a look at the puzzle without all the grid lines, and there is a reset icon that makes it much easier to restart the level if you make a mistake.
There are groups of numbers located on each column and row of the grid, each group of numbers must be separated by at least one blank or crossed off cell. Sometimes it's easier to cross-off cells that can't possibly contain a filled-in cell, which will reduce the number of cells and narrow the playing field down a bit, when you get stuck, you can switch colors and work back and forth until it's solved. Some of the cells contain bonuses such as extra hints, extra mistakes allowed or an extra pickax which allows you to choose which cell you want a hint on, and some cells contain keys to unlock colors (unless you disable this feature in settings) There is a Sun icon as well that when fully charged, will give you a mega-hint, filling in or crossing off a 3x3 area of your choice.

Here a ball, there a ball, everywhere a Tree Ball, yes those Walkers have some balls, E-I-E-I-Oh-my! I have fun playing Shopping Clutter for a few levels but after the introductory tutorial levels running through the different Clutter styles, it just gets repetitive and boring. The items are huge, so large they can be spotted from across the room and they are the same items in every level, in fact, they are the same items in the four previous games as well...and a good chunk of them aren't even Christmas related! I will admit that this dev tries to come up with different styles but they aren't challenging and when a game is super easy, it gets super boring :(
You can choose between an Easy or Difficulty Mode, but as I said earlier the difficult mode is worthless because the objects to match are so large. The Easy Mode is an Untimed mode and the Difficult Mode is simply a Timed Mode that gives you extra points for completing the level, +10 points for every second remaining on the timer, and +500 points for every unused Hint feature. There are 140 Clutter-type levels that can be replayed if you want to earn a better score. After playing 7 Clutter levels, you can play a Puzzle variation such as Square Tile Swaps (adjacent, diagonal, etc.) or Sliders (20 Total Puzzles)
Some levels have objects that can be moved out of the way. some continually move along a path. Each scene has a ton of GIANT Sun Emblems scattered among the junkpiles to recharge the Hint Meter.

DON'T let the cutesie graphics fool ya, this is no fool's game and it's certainly not a child's Match 3 game! I've played a lot of Match 3 games over the years but I have never seen a game quite like this one. Button Tales is an extremely challenging Limited Moves game that requires a little bit of luck, a little bit of skill, a little bit of memory, and a whole lot of patience!
In Button Tales: Way Back Home, there are two ways to make matches, the old-fashioned way of swapping tiles, or the Button Tales way of flipping buttons over. The old-fashioned way is perfectly fine but isn't strategically advantageous most of the time because, for one, it uses up a precious limited Move, and trust me, they aren't very generous with the amounts given. When you flip a button over, on the other hand, it doesn't affect your Limited Moves, AND it may result in an automatic match which also doesn't count towards a Move. (I found this out the hard way on level 3)
Everything else is pretty much standard Match 3 flair, make required matches of Specified Buttons, Clear all Green cells, bust through Obstacles such as Crates, and receive Bonuses for Large Matches, like Bombs of various coverage and Vertical or Horizontal Line Busters.
The first two levels really fooled me into thinking this was one of those sugary sweet Match 3 games converted from mobile to PC. By the time Level 3 rolled around I realized that there was more to this game and that I'd need to plan my moves strategically. The board layouts are tricky and the challenges they present assures a lengthy game well worth the price.

Beeeeeeep--/\|/\/-|/\-------------One minute you're flatlining, the next thing you know you're face to face with Chronos the Keeper of the Temple of Time who tells you there's been a mistake made...wait, what! Priestess Hecate has gone completely insane and she's on a rogue murder spree killing innocent people way before their clock is supposed to stop ticking, and you're one of her victims...but why? Only one way to find out, save three innocent souls in the Redemption Cemetery...(why do I always have to fix everyone's mistakes????)
૮σℓℓε૮ƭเɓℓεร & ɱσ૨ρɦเɳɠ σɓʝε૮ƭร: (૮ε ѵε૨รเσɳ σɳℓყ) There are 24 Collectible Hourglasses in 8 different colors (3 of each color) The colored sand is used to "paint" an image correctly. (select the "Check" button to briefly show the colors' placements on the image and then select the desired sand color and the highlighted areas to fill) Each of the 26 Scene Locations also has a Morphing Skull.
ɦเ∂∂εɳ σɓʝε૮ƭ ร૮εɳεร: There are 12 Hidden Object Scenes and 11 smaller Zoom-Zone Hop's +4 in the CE Bonus Chapter. They are mostly Interactive List Finds and almost every scene is repeated at least once. There are also Swatch Finds, Silhouetted Shape Finds, Multiples of the same Object Finds, Picture Finds, Keywords in Sentence Finds, Description Finds, and one fairly creative scene where you have to place Stencils onto highlighted areas that become animals even though it doesn't look like an animal before the stencil is placed.
ɱเɳเ-ɠαɱεร: There are 30 Mini-Games +8 in the ૮ε Bonus Chapter. They are decent puzzles but fairly easy to solve. Here's a list of games that I enjoyed the most during the game:
☠~Drag Horizontal & Vertical strips to complete the image. ☠~Use fire to push the tiger away from the edges toward the jungle path. ☠~Swap various statue decor between 3 statues. ☠~Use the green spider to jump and eliminate red spiders. ☠~Arrange triangles so the colors of their adjacent sides match. ☠~Swap tiles to make connections of wicks from each color-coded bomb to its matching sparK. ☠~Guide 4 elemental tiles to the crystal of life (Earth beats Water, Wind beats Earth, Water beats Fire, Fire beats Wind)
ɓσɳµร ૮ɦαρƭε૨ (૮ε ѵε૨รเσɳ σɳℓყ) Save your own soul in this slightly above average-length bonus chapter that takes place over 8 new Scene Locations. Play as Bernadette who loses her life while rescuing a young girl named Ginger who became trapped in a camper during a fire at the campgrounds. Chronos tells you there has been a mistake, you shouldn't have perished and sends you to untangle the Threads of Time which will reverse the incident. (why do I have to fix his mistakes...again!?) There are 4 Hidden Object Scenes, and 8 Mini-Games and you will continue searching for the final 8 Morphing Skulls and 6 Hourglasses to finish the sand painting.
૮σℓℓє૮ƭσ૨'ร є∂íƭíσɳ ѵε૨รเσɳ єхƭ૨α'ร: 8 Wallpapers (some w/o characters yay!) 7 Concept Art Pictures, 6 Screensavers (decent images yay!) 4 Music Soundtracks, 12 Achievements, 18 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 15 Replayable Mini-Games, 24 Collectible Hourglasses of Time which allows you "paint" an image with the sand (3 of each color: white, purple, orange, blue, pink, green, aqua, yellow) 26 Morphing Skulls, 4 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter, and a Built-In Strategy Guide.
