Really enjoyed this one. It took me a while. It was a long one for me. It has a pretty cool twist on the game-play. Some of the rooms morph when you hit a light switch or source, or handle, with tasks to do in each.. so you need a good memory or a strategy guide ( of which I have neither, lol ) to remember what was where. Haven't seen that before. Really like that concept. Glad that I didn't have a S.G and that the hint button is pretty useless this time though. I would have cheated a bunch of times. This way, it lasts longer. The HO scenes (which I generally don't care for at all) were not overwhelming in number, and were easy to see and easy to solve. The puzzles were pretty easy too, which is fine with me. This is one I'd play again.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this one. I finally found a game with 'zero' HO scenes. I was elated. I detest HO scenes. To me, they bring the momentum of the game to an abrupt and screeching halt. It's like being right in the middle of a good movie (at home) and someone knocks on your door. This is one of the best games I've found on Big Fish. Sadly, it's rare and almost impossible to find one not cluttered with endless junk piles. Although I liked everything about this game, I gave it an excellent rating in all categories just for that fact. Wish I could find more like this. If anyone can recommend more HO free games like this one (except for large file), I would be very grateful. If you are sick to the point of ad nauseam (as I am) of HO scenes, you will appreciate this one.
I recommend this game!

Great game... terrible (or rather no) ending. What a let down. And I was surprised that there were no voice-overs at all. I thought that was pretty much a standard thing. Guess not. Other than that, I did enjoy this one though. Hope these developers start putting decent endings on their standard version games, and not just running the endings over onto the CE's.
I recommend this game!
