Completed CE: I was hesitant at first to buy this but I'm glad I did. I found another Christmas series to add to my holiday list for next year. I hope next year Domini turns a classic story into a delightful holiday treat!
Return to Oz as Dorothy. Help her friends as you search for the missing messenger, find out why Mombi is angry and why the goblins are on the march to take all the Christmas things.
Visit beautiful holiday themed scenes, solve a variety of puzzles and have loads of fun in this wonderful game Domini did an excellent job of putting a new spin on a classic story.
I recommend this game for the whole family for loads of holiday fun!

Completed CE: Ember is sent to rescue Santa offer his sleigh crashes on a frozen island where Christmas isn't allowed to be celebrated. Using her special ability of fire Ember must light the torches the ice Queen has put out. Along the way Ember helps those that dwell on the island and learns why the Queen was exiled to there. As Ember finds a way to free Santa she also learns the story of the ice Queen and how to melt her frozen heart.
The voice acting is excellent. The scenes beautiful. The puzzles interactive and a variety of different kinds. The music score is perfect for the game's theme. And the story is one to love for the Christmas spirit and holiday season.
Another great game to a this series and highly recommended for all holiday players.

Completed CE: Alice and her uncle have returned. This time Colin needs help to regain his lost memories after being exposed to the darkness in the past. With Alice's help and special phoenix power they set out on an adventure to restore Colin's memories and save a woman haunting his dreams.
A captivating story. Beautiful scenes. A wonderful music score. Excellent voice acting. A variety of puzzles that are perfectly placed in the game. And interesting characters to assist and aid Alice and Colin on their journey.
I recommend both games in this series.

Complete CE: Not stop, gripping to the end! A hidden gem hard to find these days! I couldn't stop until I finished it.
The story is very well thought out and put together. The graphics are excellent. The music not intrusive. The puzzles fit perfect with the game scenes. The cinematic cut scenes are perfectly placed. The voice acting is excellent. Best of all there was lots to do that kept me busy. And the game was a long one, which I like.

Though a bit short than the other two games in this series this is still a good game. The story is very pleasing and sweet. The HOs are straight forward the puzzles aren't that difficult. There is no need for bells and whistles or a map because everything is right there and easy to do. So if you are looking for a game to play in an hour or so this is it.
I recommend this game!

Complete CE: Henry is engaged to Ann. But something happens that makes them return to the lake house and town were they grew up. Upon arrival Ann is kidnapped by a menacing figure in a mask. As Henry combs the abandoned lake house and town his memory returns and he uncovers what happened to Ann's brother 15 years earlier. Will Henry save Ann? Play this awesome game to find out!
I have had this game for a couple of years and come back and play it from time to time. I am always amazed a how much the story draws me in every time. The scenes are still beautiful though they might appear grainy and a little glum to most games found on BF today. But they are perfect for the theme, which isn't creepy or gloomy like most recent games coming to BF right now. The music score is great!. The puzzles are not that difficult and the HOs are pretty much straight forward with come interaction. There is a map but no fast travel or bells and whistles. There is some going back and forth but is in the area that tasks have to be completed in.
I can say this one of those game that have everything I like. A great story. Nice scenes and a great music score. Excellent voice acting. And it's has lots to keep my entertained for a few hours, which is a nice length for a game to have.
I recommend this game!

I have had this game for a few years and never commented on it so I thought I would. I have always loved this game and find myself playing it from time to time. It has a wonderful story about romance. The scenes are beautiful and the music non intrusive. The game consists mainly of finding objects either through searching the scenes or HOs. The puzzles are not hard at all. There are no need for bells and whistles or a map because this game is set in a handful of scenes and easy to navigate, so finding one's way around is easy. I know this game is older but I recommend it and the other two in this series.
I recommend this game!

Completed SE: This is magically charming all the way through. I enjoyed every bit of the story, characters, scenes, music, puzzles, etc. I was equally impressed at how refreshing this game was from what has been appearing on BF recently. I can honestly say it is nice to see a bright change that any age group can enjoy. I highly recommend this game! (I can't wait for the next installment.)
Basic run down on game: STORY: Max is a tiny human that has been searching for his father. He returns home to find a bad rat has been doing bad things to people. He enters an event that leads him on an adventure to rescue the mouse princess.
SCENES & MUSIC: Bright, beautiful scenes that are easy on the eyes and soothing to the soul. The music score it superb.The cut scenes are perfect and timely.
PUZZLES: A variety of well placed activities that fit so well into the game they feel like they belong.
CHARACTERS AND VOICE ACTING: All charming and the voice acting is awesome!

Completed SE: I enjoyed this from start to finish. I could not stop once I started. I found the story captivating. The graphic beautiful in each scene. The puzzles a variety that felt like part of the game. Collecting the coins to open the chests was fun because some of them were a bit tricky to find. The game was long and had plenty to keep me busy.
I highly recommend this game. There is no doom, gloom, or evil being in it. Just a good straight forward pirate romance game.
