I am surprised that only 5 people before me have rated this game. I thought it was fantastic. I almost didn't buy it because it was rated 3 stars, but I am so glad I did. Loved the characters and the story and loved the mini games and the hidden objects. I love fairy tale like games!
I recommend this game!

WOW! Almost through this game and already missing it. One of my favorite games ever on Big Fish! You nailed it this time 4 Friends Games (or is it Friends 4 games,, hmmm). One of my favorite things is that you get a little squirrel that helps you occasionally during the game and you find coins where you can upgrade the squirrels living quarters :).
Interactive HO Scenes, some are straightforward but some are where you find one thing that leads you to another that leads you to another etc.
Map that not only tells you an area that has something for you to do, but clickable to take you to that area so you aren't doing a lot of walking back and forth.
Games are cute, some are standard some aren't. I always play at easy level (I'm a slacker, LOL).
Some of the scenery is breathtaking and the story line is really cool!
I recommend this game!

Loved this game, fishies! I am not much for hidden object games but the ones in this game were really fun. Some were regular HO games but you had to empty something or unlock something etc to find a few of the words. There were also the interactive ones where you had to put the missing object back into the scene. Loved the storyline. and the mini games were wonderful. Some I have never seen before. I wish there was an interactive map where you could hop from place to place because there was a lot of backtracking. Also, once you save the children they give you their paranormal ability to use in the solving of their disappearances. Pretty cool idea! Better than the first Agency of Anomalies!

Did not realize when I first started playing this game that it was a continuation of the Fiona and Shade game that I adored! Was pleasantly surprised! I have only been playing for about an hour but so far I love it! I have only played two HO's but they are interactive which helped a lot (not very fond of plain HO's). There have been some mini games that I really thought were innovative as well. The music is okay ( i usually turn my music way down when playing a game anyway) but the scenery is fantastic! Well worth the code I used for it and would have bought it for full price if realized earlier that it was a continuation of one of my fav games
I recommend this game!

I loved, loved loved this game! I was put off by the name and didn't download it for quite awhile until I read some other reviews and realized this was a fairy tale game with Thumbelina in it! Great adventure game; even the HO's were fantastic because they were interactive and some even had little mini games within them. Loved the little animal characters, the hedgehog, parrot, fox etc. Loved the storyline and the music was good too. The only thing I really didn't like was the hint button. In most games the hint button will do just that.. give you a hint. If you hit this hint button it tells you exactly where to go and what to do there :( I do like the map though. It will show you each area and if the button on the area is blue then you know there are things that are left to be done in that area, and if you click the button it will take you to that area. Please Elephant games give me more, more more like this!

I haven't finished this game yet, but just had to write in to tell you fishies that this game is good or better than the other Dark Parable games.
I am not fond of games that have a high amount of Hogs but this one is the kind of Hog where you have to find the pieces to put together a bigger item that is necessary to the game! I love those!
Love the story line.. the music is okay. I usually keep the music turned down anyway.
Mini games are cool.. some a little differeent than normal. Not fond of the map because it doesn't seem to really tell you where to go if you get stuck. if you click on the hints however it will show you what area you need to go to. Hint button fills up pretty fast. no problems if you click on things a lot either.
I recommend this game!

The perfect game for this time of year. You have the Christmas theme, the game has bad characters like the rats but nothing too scary for kids.
I am loving the map feature that lets you click on the room and you are there instead of trying to remember where the room is. So far I have played about half an hour. The games are pretty good. Not that many hidden objects (thank goodness) but the ones that are there have a couple of interactive things you need to find (put the pencil in the pencil sharpener etc.
I have a candle (live (?) character) and a kitten to help me get things and the nutcracker helps too.
I am so glad I bought this!

I love all the Awakening series! I am playing the newest one now and I am savoring every minute of it. Don't want to finish it too soon. Everyone try Awakening: The Skyward Castle. Hopefully she will find her parents soon :) The Awakening series has something for everyone without being really scary. Sometimes I love a good scare (especially the Insane Asylum stories) but sometimes I want to play something that doesn't make me jump.. like this game. My 10 year old granddaughter could play it without me worrying.
From what I remember there was not that many HO's but a lot of mini puzzles which is what I like :)
I recommend this game!

I just started playing this game about an hour go but had to get online and review it..this is as good if not better than the other 3 Awakenings. For those of you that have not gotten the other three.. DO! Beautiful scenery, a little bit scary but not scary enough that I wouldn't let my 10 year old granddaughter play it.
HO's are interactive and there aren't that many so far (I like a combination of HO's and mini games but prefer mini games and they have some really good ones on here)
You also have an owl friend tht helps you and don't forget your little dragon that helps you by lighting things on fire! Very cute :)
I recommend this game!

I stopped playing this game long enough to come add my review. I love, love, love this game. I usually am not too fond of the hidden object sections of games and prefer mini games, but I thoroughly enjoyed even the hidden objects in this game. I tend to turn down the volume but this game has a voice over when some things are found, so that they are helpful to get you where you need to go. There is also a map which is good to find out where you need to go next and if you click the hints mirror it will either tell you if there is nothing to find there or else it will shatter and show you where to go in the scene!
I recommend this game!
