i am not sure what game those who scored it 5 stars are playing (but reviews are very subjective).
this game is totally crap - there is nothing at all new here. No new puzzles and the puzzles that were there were soooo easy - no new hidden objects.
My first hint that it was going to be similar to all the other games was the brief case - ooops - key broke off but don't worry i have found a hairpin ! Really
Why don't main characters "talk" ???
i haven't purchased a game in the last 3 mths - games are soooo predictable and not enjoyable instead i am going through my old games and playing them.
Developers really need to look at "outside the box".
Try before you buy - happy gaming :)
I don't recommend this game.

I liked this game - i am disappointed to see many low reviews but as above - reviews are subjective.
I have Camelot - Wrath of the Green Knight Collectors edition - purchased in 2021 and have played this 3 times. Therefore after the demo i purchased this game.
I liked the music - it was soothing. The talking was not what was written but it didn't take away from anything.
The puzzles were easy but the hidden objects were varied.
The thing with the storyline is (unlike latest games) you actually had to follow the story to be able to see what you needed to do. I think so many of the newer games just hold your hands - this game doesn't.
Try before you buy - happy gaming :)
I recommend this game!

this is a really good game - i loved it. You can tell how you rely on maps - there isn't a map in this game but there aren't many places that you need to go and the help will show you. Bonus.
i started playing my older games because the quality of games in 2022 is so poor - same old same old. this game offers new puzzles which were great.
i liked the concept of going to new area and doing different things in those areas.
it is an extremely long game - approx 5 hrs - great value compared to games of 2022.
try before you buy - happy gaming :)

because of the game quality in 2022 (same old same old with every develooper) i have been playing old games and this little gem was great.
loved the helper -what a beautiful dog - reminded me of my beagle (love love love).
the puzzles were different and very interesting some easy and some needed some thinking behind.
the hidden objects were enjoyable.
the storyline very good and easy to follow.
am definitely going to purchase some other games in this series.
try the demo before buying - happy gaming :)
I recommend this game!

after looking (and playing demos) of the latest games in 2022 i was sick of the same old same old - turn a key - key brakes etc., nothing new in so many games so i started playing older games and although i have got a number of "reflection of life" games i came across this one (in the new big fish system not sure how i even found it because sorting and searching for games are soooo difficult. Anyway i found this game and loved it.
the storyline was good
the length of the game terrific (took about 6 hrs to finish
the hidden objects were not lists but very different (which i haven't seem before) - bonus
the puzzles were interesting and very challenging.
for something different and something new from the production cookie cutter (same old same old) games produced in 2022 give it a try.
happy gaming :)
I recommend this game!

I am not sure how i came across this game but i purchased when it was 60% discount (under the new points system) - was able to download no problems. So in reality it only cost me $4.40 which is a good price for this game considering how old it is. However saying that because the current games are "same old same old" i have been going through a playing all my old games.
i really enjoyed this game - it is interesting to see how games have come along so much in the years and at the same time shows that the developers are able to produce a game that is not cookie cut.
i found i was able to follow the steps if i listened to the actual storyline - i only had to press help twice (yay me).
the puzzles were interesting - and somewhat different from the times of puzzles in this year of (2014).
It is a long game (4.5 hrs to finish) and enjoyable.
Try before you purchase - happy gaming :)
I recommend this game!

I just loved this game - i played 10 minutes of the demo and immediately purchased.
There is no hand holding - no skipping you have to think about what you are doing and it makes such a huge difference to the "run of the mill" games currently coming out. You need to listen to the story for you to understand what is happening.
I played this twice and i will be playing it again after this review because it is funny, entertaining and just a brilliant game.
MORE please.
I agree with margot01 - you can tell that the developers spent the time on the game and had so much fun with developing it. It is only a pity that not all developers do this as with the current games produced - same old same old. At times (well the majority of times one developers blends in with another developer) - nothing new to show. which is so disappointing because Dragonseye shows that fantastic (out of the box) games can be produced.
the strategy guide is well done - easy explained.
What an original fantastic game - loved it loved it loved it.
Try before you buy but please keep in mind that you do need to listen, take notice of what is happening and immerse yourself into the game.
Happy gaming :)

i have all the drawn games - i started with the ReDrawn: The Painted Tower Collector's Edition purchased in 2021 - then purchased Dark Flight (which although i was stuck on the frogs managed to get it finished) and then i purchased Drawn trail of shadows
i love all the games - they are entertaining - fun and so full of hope ................ this the world needs hope.
everything about the game in inspirational.
the big difference with this game and games of 2022 is there isn't any holding hands - which i do appreciate. it makes you think about what you need to do and where to find things that is why the help is different on all three games. I am pleased that i challenged myself.
well done developers.
try before you buy - happy gaming :)

this is a fantastic game - some much better (more inspirational than games developed in 2020 + (or i could even go back a little further but you get my idea.
Although this game was developed in 2015 and normally i wouldn't purchase such an old game but lately the games of 2022 are all the same - no challenges and nothing to put them above any of the other developers.
There is no hand holding in this game and no walkthrough available from big fish which in the end i am pleased about because i would have just referred to the walkthrough instead of taking the time and thinking about what i need to do. And this is why i think that it is so refreshing and said NO HAND HOLDING in this game.
The puzzles are excellent and very creative - i am not a puzzle person but i did them all (ya me).
I enjoyed the hidden objects games also.
Although they started out "talking" by the middle they stopped and this is one game that you need to read (there isn't a lot of reading) to understand what is happening in the game. I usually skip during the "talk fest" in games in 2022 but with this one i didn't and it made the game make more sense.
I purchased the game at 9:06am and finished at 2:00pm - taking about 1 hr out of playing so about a 4 hr game which is usually the length of a CE version in 2022.
This is a game that i think you need to purchase because the demo doesn't do it justice.
Congrats to the developers you can see they have spent time developing - creating and achieving a fantastic game.
Happy gaming :)
I recommend this game!
