Fantastic Game! I have no voiceover, this game's so good it left me speechless, good thing I still have a dialog box! Cadenza has raised the bar, again. Phenomenal graphics, lifelike characters, and stunning soundtracks are the norm for this series, as we re-visit the Jazz Pepper Club once again. Anthony is quite the romantic, but Ella will soon find out that he's no match for the "Black Widow" an evil woman who possesses the Kiss of Death. With pucker power like her's, no man is safe!
I was so engrossed in the story, that I kept forgetting to search each scene for the hidden Golden Ticket, so heads up, don't forget to look for them before you leave that scene, you may not be able to return. There are also Plus Sign inventory items, requiring some type of interaction, such as combining two items together, before that item can be used.
Cadenza is all about the Hidden Object Puzzles, crammed full of entertainment, and the best part is that you can replay them to beat your own time and accuracy! Most of the HO's are listed items that you are simply moving aside to collect the fragment hidden behind that item, and the collected fragments will open something for the final item. My favorite HOP type requires you to find an item listed in a circle at the bottom right, which also exposes a musical note that gets added to the icon. The next item has to be placed into the scene, and then another listed item and so forth until all notes have been collected. Each HOS has a Morphing object to find, and there is an icon to show if the item has been found.
Some of the Mini Games were unique, when you are speaking to the detective, (hey I just realized I wasn't a detective for once!) he hands you a paper with several items that you flip over two at a time to make matches. Then you make matches of related items, and finally put those items into the correct timeline of what occurred first. I liked the puzzle where you had to replicate the musical notes shown as an example, but the musical staff (bars) were twisted so you had to follow the bars figure out where each note actually went.
This Collectors Edition has Achievements, Concept Art, Wallpapers, Videos, Soundtracks, re-playable HO's, Collectible Golden Tickets, Case Files, Match 3 games, Treasure Hunt, Ticket Hunt, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

I'm a big fan of the second edition of Enigmatis, The Mists of Ravenwood, but for whatever reason, I never made it past the demo hour with this game. Long story short, I bought this game, the demo just doesn't serve this game justice, it's fantastic. You were investigating the case of a missing girl in the sleepy little town of Maple Creek, when a tornado rips through the town. Thank goodness you're unharmed, but your memory is still fuzzy, leaving you no choice but to piece the evidence back together, and the evidence is staggering. Turns out there have been multiple missing persons reports dating back over the past 80 years! You've got your work cut out for you on this investigation, can you solve the case of all of these missing people, detective?
As you re-collect the evidence the tornado has spewn about Maple Creek, you will use your Motel wall as a makeshift Evidence Board. After sorting through the paperwork, and placing the collected evidence in the correct spots, you will be able to make a deduction about that particular scenario, and eventually solve the case. There aren't a lot of frills with this game, but for an older game, the graphics are decent and doesn't seem "dated" like some games you re-visit.
The Hidden Object Scenes are all Listed word finds, with slight interactions where you click on an item to open it up, which exposes the object needed. All of the HO scenes are repeated once, which is a feature I really don't like because the items are too easy to find a second time around and it's boring. The Mini Games are fun, mostly comprised of puzzle tikes, swapping tiles or rotating tiles to complete a picture.

There's nothing worse than crash landing, except crash landing on a seemingly deserted island. Sometimes, looks can be deceiving, and you soon realize that this is The Island of the Lost, where the souls of the dearly departed have gathered. Unable to move on and plagued with turmoil and guilt, these dear souls have long been forgotten. Ruled by an evil ghost who who feasts upon their suffering only adds to their pain and grief, perhaps this island is your destination after all. If you have the courage and the strength to find the one thing the evil entity fears, the Ancient Amulet, perhaps you can rid this island of evil, and free the long lost souls who are searching for their Redemption.
It's now up to you, as you are tasked with entering the portals of these undead, to right the wrongs that are causing their restlessness, one soul at a time. You won't have to go it alone, a friendly crow from the island has nothing better to do so he's along for the ride and is willing to help you retrieve all those inventory items that mysteriously made their way to the most unlikely and out of reach places imaginable! Fortunately, this crow has both of his eyes and they don't even glow! Some of the inventory items have plus signs that indicate further action is required before that item can be used. You must combine that item with another inventory item by simply clicking on one item and dragging it to the other item.
Most of the Mini Games give you the option to choose Casual or Hard modes which is a feature that is unique to this devs game. Sometimes I love a challenge, other times I just want to chill and have some fun. Most of the Mini Games were puzzle types such as swapping picture tiles or putting together torn pieces of a picture, but there are also games where you match two identical letters by flipping two tiles at a time, but if you guess incorrectly all the tiles scramble around quickly to throw you off and make it more challenging.
The Collectors Edition is loaded with goodies, Screensavers, Concept Art, Movies, Music, Chronicles, re-playable HOP's and Mini Games, Collections, Achievements, a built in Strategy Guide, a Bonus Chapter and you can even take a Test to see how well you paid attention to the details, enjoy!

This game has some of the most unusual features I've ever seen, it's almost overbearing, as if there's too much going on. You play the role of a homicide Detective, which isn't unusual in itself, but the year is 1899, and you are equipped with some very futuristic gadgets. The first gadget is your camera, which allows you to take pictures of suspicious areas, items or people. The pictures will automatically be placed in your Diary, to be used as evidence. The Diary will contain your tasks, photos, evidence collected, bios on everyone you come in contact with, and brief descriptions of your events. You also have an Ultraviolet lamp to collect hidden fingerprints, by scanning the lamp over the entire scene until all prints have been detected. There is a tab at the top of the screen that shows how many prints you have found, and you can purchase items in the shop to upgrade your gadgets or equipment, which is one of the coolest features I have seen in a long time! The upgrades include reducing the time it takes to recharge the hint button, an upgrade for the UV lamp, upgrades for the camera, an option for seeing silhouettes of evidence, reducing the time it takes to recharge your portable laboratory, the ability to skip or pass on puzzles faster, the ability to identify several evidences at the same time, and even a random hat to make you look cool! Even a cool looking detective needs the latest model of portable laboratories, simply place evidence into the container, click on the start button, play a quick mini game where you connect identical atoms, and voila, you get a brief description of that item. The Evidence Board is in your office at the Police Station, or you can access it through your diary, the evidence you collect will be placed into several circled categories. Eventually you will make a deduction about the case at hand. As you progress, take photos and collect prints, so will your Detective skills, and you are rewarded in the form of an Achievement, 31 in total as you collect new Badges. There are also 10 tubes to collect, but I haven't figured out yet what kind of tube it is or what it's used for.
The Hidden Object Scenes are unusual as well. Several objects are Morphing Objects. The Morphing Objects are constantly changing at a rapid speed, any item listed in red, is a morphing object. You must select the object when it is in the correct object that matches the item on the list, not every morphing object will be on the list so you have to figure out which item is morphing the correct object. (in other words there will still be morphing objects left in the HOS) The Mini Games are fairly run of the mill puzzles such as adjusting several monkeys on a chain until they are all aligned in the middle and all monkeys have red glowing eyes, when you move one monkey, others are affected. For a stand alone Standard Edition, this game has a lot going on, almost too much. The story is different, I just hope they are able to connect everything together without losing the players interest because of all the distractions, enjoy!

Welcome aboard, Emma Roberts, this should be the cruise of a lifetime, literally, you might be on board a lifetime! Reports of people boarding a mysterious cruiseliner and disappearing into thin air, have piqued this reporters interest. She boards what appears to be a replica of the U.S. Virginia, in Miami Florida, but this isn't a replica, this is the U.S.S Virginia, how can that be, she went missing in the 1930's! One minute the ship looks pristine, the next a bucket of rust, beautiful flowers wilt within seconds, seagulls fly right through the ships walls, as if it weren't even there! To make matters worse, there has been a murder on board, this investigation may prove to be more than this journalist bargained for!
This game might not be very "fearful" but it certainly has a fantastic story, a mixture of the love boat meets the Philly experiment! You begin this game as a simple Reporter, and advance up the ranks from Investigative Journalist to Special Correspondent. Every inventory item you find, every collection found and Morphing "seer" objects you spot, will net you points, you will even receive points for completing Hidden Object Puzzles and Mini Games. As the points add up, so does your ranking, you can even replay the game to get a better score, or challenge a friend.
There are 34 Morphing Objects to spot, and several Collections available within different categories, such as Lady Collectibles, Captain and Musician Collectibles and Postcards. The map will indicate that all Collectible and Morphs have been found in each location, with a gold star above that area. Some of the inventory items have Plus Signs which indicate that further interaction is needed before that item can be used such as combining two inventory items together or repairing the item.
The Hidden Object Scenes are very interactive and extremely well done. Some are progressive, silhouettes, requiring you to find the first item that matches the silhouetted shape shown, and then using that item in the scene to collect the next item and so forth. There are also interactive list finds, and smaller HOP's within zoomed in areas where you are tasked with finding 5 emblems. There is an optional Jigsaw Puzzle available in place of the HOP, which sounds appealing because all of the hidden object scenes are repeated at least once. The Mini Games seem fairly easy, at least within the demo, lighting the correct lights to duplicate the astrological sign as shown, or swapping tiles to their correct position to complete an image, by using arrows to rotate three different sets of tiles.

The Fairy Queen has a secret that you must uncover, her true name. The only way to discover her true name is to seek the help of the other eight fairies, Fern, Dew Drop, Silver Birch, Acorn, Apple Blossom, Cherry Blossom, Mushroom and Glitter Moss. The only way to get them to help you, is to help them find missing items and help them solve a few puzzles. This Hidden Object game is available in Timed or Untimed modes and can be played in three different difficulty modes. Easy mode allows you 45 minutes (in timed mode) to complete each set of HO's and puzzles, and the items to find are shown as exact pictures of the listed items to find. Medium, allows you 35 minutes to complete the same set of tasks, however the items are shown only as silhouettes. Hard mode gives you only 25 minutes per set, and the HO's are listed as words only. There are only 3-4 available hints per set, or fairy quest, I'm not sure what happens if you need another hint after that. The scenes are bright and colorful, but the graphics are poor in the Hidden Object scenes themselves, similar to an older video game with sharp edges and little detail. The items themselves are way out of proportion, some items like a gazebo are the size of a pinky fingertip, yet a calculator is the same size, not to mention a chaise lounge chair was practically microscopic! Letters were unrecognizable as well and most often placed on an item the same exact color. The silhouettes were even worse to find than the words themselves, showing a round silhouette which matched at least 10 different items, and if you clicked too many wrong matches, the Queen fairy would scold you and tell you that was rude! Even in the Easy mode, items were difficult (not impossible) to find, therefore, I think children (which I presume this game was geared towards) would have a difficult time with this game, especially if they only get a few hints per fairy. My biggest complaint with this game, was with the narrator's voice, it was as if someone were reading a bedtime story, as they tried to get the audience to participate or keep them motivated. The Mini Games and Puzzles were actually the best part, and only feature I liked. Each Fairy needed help putting together their favorite stained glass picture, and each puzzle was progressively larger and more difficult, as you placed colorful pieces into the matching shaped slot. After each puzzle, there is a quick game such as "spot the difference, or swapping branches on a fern from smallest to largest. The scenes are repeated several times as each fairy request lost items to be found in a new scene and then other scenes that a previous fairy had lost item in, and each scene had some of the same items to find which were in the same place as before. Again, in my opinion, this game would be frustrating for younger kids who would enjoy the fairy tale theme, but too childish for older kids or adults for that matter.
I don't recommend this game.

After a century long slumber, imprisoned in a crypt, far beneath the ocean, she discovered The Deepest Secret. Her twin sister Pandora had claimed position as Empress, against the wishes of their parents, Anna is the true heir, the true Empress of the Deep! Anna was tricked into following Pandoras directions instead of Jacobs, nearly destroying the Ark by activating several purple orbs that were actually explosives! Pandora was evil, and very unstable, and managed to detonate the explosives that destroyed the underwater Ark, as well as herself, Anna barely escaped. As Anna makes her way to the Temple in the Sky, she learns that she must save the children of the seasons, along with the Guardian animals that have been imprisoned by Pandora, with the help of an unlikely accomplice!
Anna must collect several Crystal Dolphins that flutter about in select scenes. These dolphins will give Anna the Magical Healing power, needed to free the Guardian Animals, that have been imprisoned with mechanical gadgets that control them. Eventually you will free a Beaver, a Sea Turtle, an Otter, a Narwhal, a Seal, a Manatee, and an Orca.
The Hidden Object Scenes are basic Listed items with no interactions available. Some items are extremely difficult to find because items are very well blended into the scenery. The Mini Games are fairly easy, there are a lot of puzzles requiring you to flip tiles over until a picture is complete, the only thing difficult, is figuring out which picture is the correct one. Some puzzles require you to direct beams of light to light up all orbs using mirrors and splitters, or connect all circuits by rotating directional paths on each tile.
In my opinion, the only valuable asset in the Collectors Edition is the built in Strategy Guide, really the only other difference is collectible diary pages belonging to Pandora which will open up bonus gameplay of an unusual Match 3 game called Zen, enjoy!

Anna awoke from a century long slumber, and discovered The Deepest Secret, in the first Empress of the Deep. Her twin sister Pandora had unrightfully claimed her position as Empress, and tricked Anna into following her directions instead of Jacobs. Pandora was evil, and she destroyed the underwater Ark, as well as herself, Anna barely escaped. Now Anna must travel to the Temple in the Sky and save the children, along with the Guardian animals that have been imprisoned by Pandora......or so she believes!
I have played hundreds of games, and there is no other game like this series, the storyline is like no other. The graphics have improved tremendously since the first Empress, which had very blurry graphics within the HOS which made some items unrecognizable. The map still has room for improvement, you cannot use the map to travel, and because there are so many paths to choose, it sometimes becomes confusing as to which way you need to go in order to complete a task. The game itself isn't difficult, but I do recommend this Collectors Edition because of the built in Strategy Guide. This game introduces us to a new feature, collecting Crystal Dolphins that flutter about in select scenes. These dolphins will give Anna a Magical Healing power, and enable her to free the Guardian Animals, a Beaver, a Sea Turtle, an Otter, a Narwhal, a Seal, a Manatee, and an Orca.

Running this farm is hard work! Plant the grass to feed the chickens, water the grass, collect the eggs, send the eggs to the egg powder plant, send the egg powder to the pasta plant, send more eggs to the egg powder plant, collect the pasta, send the pasta to the market, collect the egg powder, send the egg powder tp pasta machine, collect more eggs, plant more grass, water grass, refill water pump, oh nooo cage those ferrets, send them to the warehouse, the warehouse is full, send the eggs to egg powder plant, nope it's busy make more pasta, that is exactly how you will end up in a frenzy too!
Before each level, you need to purchase or upgrade buildings in order to play that level. The first machine you purchase is the Egg Powder Plant which takes the freshly hatched eggs and grinds them into powder and neatly packages them. The next item you purchase is the Pasta Plant which takes those packaged egg powder packages and makes pasta, and packages them neatly. Then you store the items in your warehouse, and click on the truck to have the goods delivered, when he returns, you have more money available to purchase water for grass and the scenario continues until all goals have been met, as shown on the bottom right of the screen. Chickens, cows, pigs etc. can be purchased by clicking the top left icon, the more you have, the faster production goes, but the faster the grass needs planted and watered as well. Various critters such as weasels and bears, attack the chickens, so you must quickly click on them several times to build a cage around them and send them off to market as well. You can upgrade the truck, the warehouse the plants, and purchase a dog to attack the critters, a cat to collect goods, and all kinds of helpers and new production plants. This is the kind of game that will keep you busy for hours, enjoy!

Jane is the newest recruit to the New York Bomb Squad Department, assigned to work alongside Detective Kane and Detective Max, a bomb sniffing Black Lab. Bomb threats have been received all over the city as of late, most are hoaxes, but all must be taken seriously. A bomb has exploded in a section of the United Nations Building and that's where you're going to learn first hand, on how to work with Max on an investigation, and hopefully clear the building before anyone gets hurt.
This is a simple Hidden Object game, if you don't enjoy one HOP after another, then steer clear, because that is the object of this game, each scene is all about the hidden objects with only a handful of tasks to accomplish. The graphics are extremely basic, most of the scenery has computer generated objects with sharp edges and little detail, especially when you zoom into a close up object. The Hidden Objects are given in list form, however if you click on any word on the list, you will be shown a silhouette of that item, if you still cannot find the item, click on Max, who will sniff out the object in question and sit quietly beside it. Max will rest afterwards (hint recharge) and will be ready to get back to work when the meter above him reaches full capacity. Max starts out with a lower set of skills, but increases his skills as you progress, but you will have to find the hidden stars located in select scenes. Items listed in green, require you to find areas that change to an eye icon, which zooms you into an area of interest that will require the use of an inventory item, however, you may need to visit another location in order to find the necessary items. Some inventory items need combined to complete, by dragging one item to the other such as a net combined with a metal ring, and then the net with the metal ring gets combined with a wooden handle. At the bottom of the Hidden Object list,, there is a bag icon which holds all inventory items you collect, and a globe icon which will allow you to access the map. You can use the map to visit other locations, or click on the areas within the scene that have feet, to move to the next location. After completing a scenes tasks, there will usually be a mini game such as guiding Max through all of the rooms in a building, and declaring which rooms are cleared (those rooms turn green) and marking the rooms that need further investigating (those rooms turn red) to determine if they have bombs as indicated by Max.
This game can be sluggish at times, and the graphics are really poor, but if you can overlook those glitches, and want to play a relaxing seek and find game, it's not a bad game. In fact it's kind of a nice change of pace, enjoy!
