One of the best games I’ve recently played
Graphics are remarkable, really good cut-scenes and excellent animation, good voice overs
Music is well chosen, suits perfectly
Storyline is little bit of everything: ancient battle between good and evil, artifacts, mystery in one word- good adventure
2 modes of game: casual and expert
Strategy guide is available
Also there are extras- bonus chapter, mini games
You have a map that allows travel and a journal
Hidden object scenes are quite fun, not too many of them. There are two types of HOS, with listed objects and those where you must place given objects in their right place
Puzzles are absolutely perfect, satisfying level of challenge, there are some new ones, and of course if you get stuck you can always skip them
All in all I had fantastic time, and I definitely recommend this game!!
I recommend this game!

Cool game, but nothing special. Definitely for those who prefer HOS over puzzles.
- graphics are good, lots of color, crisp, I really liked the look of robots
- choice of music is nice but not suitable for this game, I really didn’t imagine jazz in the background while dealing with robots
- story is great, I was hooked from the very beginning
- 2 modes: regular and expert
- you have a journal that contains notes and map( you can use it to travel)
- hidden object scenes are good, nice visibility, interactive, but as I sad there are too many of them- disappointed
- puzzles are mainly easy, nothing tricky, but for a relaxed play they are perfect
Over all, nice game to spent some time on, especially for those who love HOS!
I don't recommend this game.

Cool game, with interesting story and some spooky elements
- graphics are gorgeous, movie like intro, cut scenes with real actors, good voice overs
- music is good, contributed well to the game
- storyline is, as I sad interesting with lots of things going on. You witnessed one terrible event, young woman was taken away by mechanical spiders and now you are determined to find out what is going on
- 3 modes: casual, advanced, hardcore
- you have a journal and a map, most important is that you can use your map to travel around
- hidden object scenes are very well done, lots of interaction, beautifully done scenes
- puzzles were a bit more challenging than expected, but that was not a problem because most of them were fun to solve, so I enjoyed spending a bit more time playing them
Over all, pretty good game to play, I recommend it!
I recommend this game!

I had wonderful time playing this one, great story, beautiful locations and astonishing graphics
- videos are realistic, detailed locations and many different places to explore ( from depths of the sea to mars)
- music is perfectly chosen, gives that nice touch to the game
- as I sad story is just great, unpredictable events, and for me this one is a perfect combination of adventure, sci-fi and elements of horror
- 2 modes of gameplay: casual and expert
- you have a journal and a map( you don’t have it from the very beginning but soon you will find it). I must say that the map was more than useful - it shows, beside your current location, locations with available action, and most important you can jump from one location to the another
- during the game you can collect digital memory cards to get some bonus information
- Hidden object scenes are interactive, you have to find a lot of different objects so you can find the ones that are on the list. They are very well done, not too hard
- puzzles are amusing, mostly easy, but that doesn’t mean that they are boring, there are of course some that are harder and if you get stuck there is always skip button
All in all, I had a great fun, and I honestly recommend this game!

Really nice game with interesting storyline
- graphics are excellent, spooky locations, nicely done characters
- music was more than good, it gives that perfect touch to the experience and story
- storyline is phenomenal, after you had a car accident near one old town, you will find your self surrounded by its dark mysteries and creepy inhabitants…
- 3 modes in the game: casual, challenge and extreme
- also you have optional tutorial
- no map
-you can earn trophies
- hidden object scenes are mainly easy, sadly with no interaction so I found them a bit boring
- on the other side puzzles were good and fun to solve, many different ones, challenging even in casual mode
Definitely worth a try, I liked it!
I recommend this game!

Loved it! Good combination of different puzzles and HOS on one side and magnificent graphics on the other
- beautifully designed locations, clear images and perfect snowy and cold atmosphere
- nice music in the background, good voice overs
- excellent storyline, you, as a detective, must find missing children who were kidnapped by the Snow Queen. In order to do so you must travel to her Kingdom and discover her plan and what actually lies behind disappearance of numerous kids .
- 3 modes in the game: casual, normal and hard
- optional tutorial
- you don’t have a journal but there is a very useful map that shows your current objectives and areas of interest
- hint is recharging fairly quick but if you are skipping puzzles that will disable hint button for 5min
- HOS –good, in this case fragmented object scenes, mostly clear, but there are some in which objects are harder to find
- so many different puzzles, colorful and fun, I enjoyed every single one of them
Definitely 5 stars from me!!
I recommend this game!

One of the most beautiful games I played
- graphics are absolutely amazing, magically drown world with breathtaking locations
- music in the background is calming and gives a beautiful touch to the atmosphere
- storyline is good, you found a portal to another world and now, as you arrived to the planet Botanica you must find your way back, but in the mean while you have a lot interesting things to do..
-3 modes in the game: easy, normal and hard
- optional tutorial
- you have a journal with all the information you need: map, to do list, encyclopedia Botanica, and of course journal contains all the clues you’ve collected
- also, one interesting thing is your botanist’s kit- for all your experiments that you do along the way( I had so much fun doing them)
- puzzles are very good, I enjoyed them a lot. Most of them are challenging and If you get stuck you can always skip them
- hidden object scenes are mostly interactive, so that makes them more interesting to play. Visibility of objects is more than good, and you can also move them around . There are not too many of them
Anyhow, I LOVED IT. If you are in the mood for one adventure in the beautiful nature surrounded by adorable creatures, give this game a try!
I recommend this game!
