I'm only up to 23 but so far have not had to shell out any real money. The scenes are GORGEOUS!! And the morphs are now Easter eggs with a lot of other specialties. There is so much going on it's amazing. This game is about the JOURNEY and if you are in a rush to finish the game: DO NOT BUY IT!!
I recommend this game!

An OK game especially if you enjoy puzzles. Buy On Sale if you enjoy collectibles.

There are 4 modes of play including Custom, pretty standard these days. You can choose Easy or Hard for the puzzles, but they're not always consistent: some Easy ones are still hard. The Map is almost always accurate. I just finished the main game and Collected 15 Cursed objects, 18 Ghostly Pound Symbols and 25 Puzzle Pieces. I only got 6 of the 8 animals, hopefully the other 2 will be in the Bonus Chapter. There is some lack of LOGIC which is disappointing, but that has become an all too common trait these days.
I recommend this game!

The characters (and they are that) do not speak - you have to read the dialog. The storylines, yes plural, although somewhat convoluted are brilliant, if weird. I'm 3/4th of the way through and the map has not failed me yet, which to me is very important. Do give this a try, I'm having a great time!
I recommend this game!

Collect 36 puzzle pieces for 4 jigsaws. Find 34 morphing objects. Overall it's an average game, nothing to write home about. Dumb ferret helper. I'm sure this game will have it's following BUT I strongly recommend you try before you buy.

New Developer, I suggest they try other games so they can improve. Only 2 modes of play. Almost no clear instructions. I accidentally clicked in the top right hand corner of the screen and found the "menu" button, map button, etc.; would never know they were there. I doubt if there are any collectibles or morphing objects. I could not give them a bad review, BUT they need to see what us fishies expect, even from a SE. I suggest you give it a try but I will not be using even a punch for this game.

I have purchased all of these Christmas Stories. I hated the one last year (Puss and Boots). The map was totally inaccurate which I will not tolerate and it was not fun. This one is better map wise; just played the Demo. Collect 36 jigsaw pieces, mostly found in the zoom. Collect 14 morphing dwarfs, which since there are so few it's easy to forget about them. I recommend that you try this. As usual it's pretty.
I recommend this game!

Very Disapointed in this game. My fault, I read the reviews and bought it without playing because of the BOGO.

Storyline and visuals are good but often lacks logic. Maybe if you played the previous games it would help. The MAP is stuck inside the journal/tablet and is USELESS!!!! You have to use the Hint button. TRY BEFORE YOU BUY !!!!!!!
I don't recommend this game.

I don't usually play Match 3 type games. And I'm also not sure if there is a special way to get the coins. BUT, I really recommend that you try this because it is pretty and FUN.

I stopped playing, just to do this review. It's been way too long, waiting for a really fun game. There are 12 morphing beasties, 13 character statuettes, 15 collectible Spells (scrolls) and 49 roses. There is a locket to switch characters from Richard to Rachel. The puzzles also let you chose between EASY or HARD. The Hidden Objects are quite unique. Thank you Domini Games!
I recommend this game!
