See "kdreetz" review for more specs. To add - 176 leaves (transparent not morphing) and get them 1st thing; if you go through a portal you can't go back. Also there are 45 items (#s) in HUSs which should lead to a jigsaw puzzle at the end of the game but I don't know how to acquire them. A MUST to try. I found it difficult and Beginners may also. Excellent Map! Bought early anyway so I could take my time to puzzle things out.
I recommend this game!
A series of unexplained deaths baffle authorities, and you’re called in to investigate.

Only BAD thing: Visual is pixilated/grainy(so no 5). 4 modes of play. Jump map with objectives. Great variety of HOPs or Match 3. 40 Treasure chests-1 in each scene (shown in lower Rt). NO morphing objects. Fingerprinting Kit for clues. Fun new puzzles. Storyline kept my attention: Senorita Adams is Detective called in to solve murders. 5 guys years ago did something and they're being killed off. At end of test time she was in jail. Definitely you should try this!
I recommend this game!
Find magician Andy Fox and his assistant, who vanished into thin air!

Visuals - cartoonish circa 2012. Puzzles had no Reset, only Skip. Sparkles did not appear for HOSs, but were easy themselves. There seems to be a set order to do things in and only that way. If you try to do something else first it won't let you. I did the Tutorial to test and no way to stop until it's done. You could not pay me to get this game.
I don't recommend this game.

No Journal, No Task list, No Map. HOS items difficult and puzzles difficult. I Never resort to Hint but used many times in this game. I would not even waste a Punch on this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm sure other reviewers will cover story line. Excellent lip-sync. Jump map with available actions. 3 Modes of play. 60 tokens to collect but are visible - no morphs that I could find. FUN puzzles. Good HOs. Cat helper which will be loved or hated. Tokens buy stuff for cat's room. Usual Achievements. Really Beautiful game and with Sale I will purchase CE and not wait for SE. Not for expert players. Still worth trying.
I recommend this game!

If you liked Cadenza - try this. Spectacular! I will even pay full price and not wait for a discount and on a Retiree's income that's saying something. Check out other reviewers for specs. THANK YOU MADHEAD!!!!!
I recommend this game!

I have mixed feelings on this one. I LOVED Chinese Healer CE. Did not purchase others and will wait for SE and try that. Hated the question/answer stuff. 36 Fairy shoes, no morphs? Can't see cost even at 1/2 price for this game. Beautiful - YES! Give it a try - you may like it.
I don't recommend this game.

Played Casual for 70 Minutes. Get magnifier to examine victim for clues. Open Analyzer to determine properties of evidence items. Jump map shows active areas. HOs and puzzle - easy. Storyline is weak for me. Detective wandering around for clues/evidence. I prefer more character development so I really care about playing. No morphs (which I love). You should try this game. I would only buy this at 1/2 price or wait for SE.
I don't recommend this game.

Have both previous games. Play Casual. Checked reviews on CE and played the CE for the hour. Then i played the SE. It's a beautiful/FUN game. Try it and see. The CE only has: 35 vials, achievements, wallpaper, etc. I don't need those but will definitely be buying the SE.
I recommend this game!

See other reviewers for storyline... Excellent graphics, helpful jump-map, FUN and Different HOs, great puzzles (not enough). Played Casual for the full hour; then played the SE. This CE has 35 vials to collect plus achievements, wallpaper etc. If you don't need that stuff - buy the SE. Truly FUN and pretty Game. I have the 2 previous games and will buy the SE.
I don't recommend this game.
