A breath of fresh air! Blue Tea Games has had a lot of input into this game. The developer who took over could never make Dark Parables the same. There are many hidden object games and is a fun fairy tale story line. The graphics are full of color and reminiscent of the older Dark Parable games. Love it!
I recommend this game!

This is a five star ADVENTURE Game. So, why is it classified as Hidden Object?
Storyline is different, kind of like X-Files of old. Graphics are okay. Voice overs are good. Some humor in the main character that is refreshing.
Put it where it belongs, though, so people aren't surprised by the lack of Hidden Object scenes.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on the Demo. Great and somewhat new storyline. Intrigue and a spook factor. Love that combination. Fun characters. Puzzles may be too easy for some. For me, they are just right. I am a Hidden Object player more than a puzzle player. It is a great break from all the runes and witchcraft (which has seemed to overtake several developers lately). I will be purchasing this game.
I recommend this game!

Based on the demo.
Good Graphics, Storyline, Voiceovers
I have the Rite of Passage series. Usually like it and this developer. Not this time. I quit playing after 30 minutes. This is more of a puzzle game than an HOP. The developers got stuck in 'Rune land.' Most of the puzzles, including the one HOP I played, involved finding or memorizing runes. This could have been a fun game. I came away frustrated, disgusted and bleary eyed. May be your cup of tea. Definitely not mine.
I don't recommend this game.
