This is a great game for something different. It doesn't have anything dark or gloomy. Awesome story about a daughter solving a case while looking relices and her abducted dad who happens to be a private investigator. The puzzles aren't that hard. The voice acting is well done. All the scenes have good graphics and the music score is nice.
I recommend this game!
If you have enough courage to challenge the darkness, then you’ll manage to find out the mystery of the Rossolimo family.

Complete Game SE: If you are looking for a game that has a great story, no bells and whistles, lots of puzzles, and that is long...this game is for you. Set on a tiny island in Greece: Daytona the last in her line has summoned you to contain her uncle's evil spirit in a unique coffin. As you scour the island the story unfolds and you discover lots of easy to challenging puzzles (casual mode) to solve. Along the way you meet spirits of the family that aid you and reveal secrets.
I can say I thoroughly enjoyed this game from start to finish. The graphics are beautiful, the voice acting beautiful and the cut scenes inserted at the right moments. I came across some unique puzzles, which took a bit to figure out. Though there wasn't a map I didn't mind because I found my way around without getting lost. The challenge was remembering where I had seen things that I would later have to go too. There was a time or two that I couldn't figure out what to do next so I used the hint button, which gave me a good idea where to go, and recharged fairly quickly. So all said I highly recommend this game.

I was a bit hesitant to get this game because of it being what some might consider its content to be religious. But after reading the reviews and BF having a 'buy one get one free' I decided, "What do I have to lose in a free game." I can say I enjoyed this game and didn't find the game to religious at all. The story focused on the priest sent to find the Lance of Destiny during WW2. It made references to historical times periods involving the Knights Templar and the story around the soldier who used the lance to pierce Christ's side. The graphics are clear and the music suitable to for the game. The HOs where different because I found items associated with that scene, (for example: the garden, I found garden tools) not just a hodge podge of objects thrown together. And there are a variety of different kinds of HOs puzzles. The objects where easy to hard to find, so the magnifying option came in handy a few times. There are other types of puzzles I did throughout the game, which were not that difficult to complete. The "clue" or hint was different because you are allowed 3 but can have up to 6 total. (Finding the hidden star in the scenes gave me more clues to replace the ones emptied). And the clue button did take a little time to recharge. I liked traveling to the different places on the map and evading/thwarting the Germans in the race to find the true Lance. So, if you are looking for a laid back, interesting story, fun and different HO game...this is it!
I recommend this game!

I've had this game a few years but never commented on it. I decided I would since I played through again. You are Jodie Drake, a travel magazine journalist/photographer. The story starts by sending you to Paraguay to be the first to take pictures of ruins just discovered. This lands you another assignment with a big time magazine, which sends you to exotic places. While you travel the world taking pictures you discover more than you bargained for. The story is intriguing. The graphics are crisp and the music good. The cut scenes are well done, The voice acting is good mixed with texts that have to be read. The puzzles are not overly. Once a scene is complete you move to the next, so there's no need for a map or traveling from scene to scene. The hint recharged fairly quickly. And the game has two options: Timed or Relaxed. So, mostly this game is a laid back type game.
I recommend this game!

After reading the reviews I'm glad I purchased this game! It's like nothing I've played on BF. It is so fun. I love the characters that you help by doing things from them. All the puzzles aren't that hard. The graphics are crisp though they are cartoony, which adds to the appeal of this zany game. I loved navigating the town of Tundle. The game is humorous too! I can say I got lost in this game. There are no bells and whistles but there a journal to help keep track of tasks. The only thing is remember where everyone is located at. Though there is a map that give you your bearing there isn't any indicators as to where people are to return tasks. So you have to remember where people are located. And the map is huge for a game. So many people to visit and lots of tasks to perform.
I recommend this game!

Complete SE: Where to begin. Eipix delivers again. Great story, graphics, music and puzzles! Prom night. A crash. Mom awakens to find her daughter missing and herself in the past. To save her daughter she must set things right. Along the way mom meets people who died in a tragedy from the explosion at the local factory. As mom frees the spirits by helping them she comes closer to finding her daughter and learning the real cause of the factory's explosion. What the vengeful spirit didn't realize is the determination of a mother's love and sacrifice to protect her daughter! (And the ending blew me away!)

Just as delightful and humorous as the first one! Nat and Lor are still as charming as ever. For a royal couple they see their sure of trouble but that doesn't stop them. They can solve their way out of with not so hard puzzles. And along the way they get to see bright scenery listen to cheery music and meet interesting characters that help them. They don't need a map because everything is contained within the area. And of coarse, they get a laugh because they make us read all their texts! I highly recommend this game and the first one in this series! I hope the developers make another one just as good as these two!

This game is truly a one of a kind. I loved be able to play as Prince Nathaniel and Princess Loreen. The graphics are bright and crisp, the music awesome and the puzzles are not that difficult. All the NPC's are delightful. There is no need for a map because everything is contained with the area being played. Though, I had to read the text I found it giving me a good laugh. The story is wonderful too. I recommend this game! (NO doom or gloom, or wicked encounter here!)

I loved this game. It was do different then all the gloomy, dark, games BF has had lately. The story is unique and captivating. The graphic are great and bright. I like the PDA interaction. The Characters I met just didn't blab but added to the game by giving me tasks to do. The puzzles were great ranging from easy to hard. I recommend this game. And if you like this game you might like The tiny bang story game too.
I recommend this game!
