I note it is not my favorite genre of games, but sometimes I can play it. Nothing innovative in this game, but it leaves a good impression.
I recommend this game!

I will say without exaggeration - this is the best HOPA I've played. Everything in this game is done perfectly well! Great detailed graphics, amazing storyline, great sound, puzzles and HO scenes. Now the details.
STORYLINE: 5 of 5 Do you love Howard Lovecraft books? I love his work! You know who's Cthulhu? No?! Then you definitely need to read any of the books of HP Lovecraft. Why do I say this? Because the storyline of this game reminded me of the events in one of the books by this writer. And that's great! However, instead of Cthulhu in the game has a huge octopus. His name is Cracken. The storyline of the game forces the player to go on and on. Stop just not possible. Guys, the game is really VERY interesting.
GRAPHICS: 5 of 5 When you launch the game, you understand that the developers have done a very good job. The graphics are very clear, detailed and well-designed. All the characters are very well drawn and very individual. Perfect!!!
PUZZLES: 5 of 5 Puzzles are very good, they are not very complicated. Playing them, I have fun. Some of the puzzles are original enough that I was very pleased.
HOs: 5 of 5 You know, a great idea to add to the HO scenes possibility to switch to the mahjong mode. Sometimes you do get tired of looking for items on the screen and play mahjong in these moments is very nice. Even relaxing. Excellent!
SOUND: 5 of 5 High-quality sound perfectly complements what the player sees on the screen. Excellent voiceover. Beautiful music, great effects. All is as it should be in the real HOPA HIT.

If you like adventure with an interesting story line, this game is for you. If you like fascinating quests and puzzles, this game is for you. If you are tired of HOPA with cloned storylines, this game is for you. If you are a woman and you're looking for a companion for traveling on a ship, this game is definitely for you! :)
To begin with, the game is pretty stable running on my old computer and has a pretty good graphics. In my spare time I like to draw and I liked the intro painted by hand. Besides intro reveals the storyline pretty well. Although the intro could have been shorter. STORYLINE: 5 of 5
The graphics in the game is clear and clean. In some places it is grim, but the storyline requires it. GRAPHICS: 4 of 5
All HOS in the game are done very well. They are interactive and all items are well positioned. All HO scenes are not too hard and bright enough. They have some unexpected ideas. I especially liked the idea with dragonfly :) You have to try it! HOS: 5 of 5
About the puzzle I have to be discussed separately. They fit well with the gameplay. Puzzles are very logical. In general in this game there are NO stupid and illogical quests and puzzles. Personally, I was always annoyed illogical quests. For example, in one game, in order to open the suitcase, I spent an hour looking for the key, even though I had a hammer in your inventory. In real life, I would broke a suitcase with a hammer! In this game there is no such nonsense, and I'm glad. All puzzles in the game have an average level of complexity. Although someone may seem puzzles too hard, and someone - too simple. PUZZLES: 5 of 5 (even 6 of 5!)
The music in this game is very beautiful. I'm not a musician, but it seemed to me that the music is done very well. MUSIC: 5 of 5
The game has two difficulty levels. You can switch the difficulty of the game in the options. This is very encouraging. Several times I switched the difficulty and noticed that this changes the messages in the game! In casual mode, the player gets more information on passing game. For example, in the engine room (casual mode), you can find out what needs gumboots... Oops, I think it's already too much :)

I personally think the game is good, but not great, 4 stars. I'll try to explain why I think so. This game has everything to play with a pleasure: nice graphics, good sound and voiceovers, interactive HOS and map, cute puzzles, a lot of cutscenes... BUT! The storyline is tooooooo familiar. All this we have seen, and, more than once! I want something fresh, some new ideas in the storyline. And we see a hackneyed plot that is easy to predict. A little after playing this game I was bored. I think the storyline is the weakest point in this game. But if you have not played a lot in these games, then you'll love this game. Technically, she's done very well.
A few words about the mini-games. It seemed to me that they are too simple. Almost all of the puzzles are solved in a minute, and sometimes less. Although playing them quite interesting.
And more, the light in the castle turns off periodically, I was very annoyed! I think it is a bug.
Despite this, the game is very good. And I recommend it ;)

Great game! Great sequel! I was disappointed when trial time was up.
In a nutshell, pros: Excellent detailed graphics, very realistic characters with live actors, a lot of video, great storyline, good puzzles, nice voiceovers, cute music, amazing idea with abilities (fire, hypno, etc)!
Cons: About live actors... The acting is not impressive, I would even say acting is bad. It seems to me that the developers were acting themselves :)
But despite this, you need to play this game. Play it, buy it!

Great graphics, good sound and very original mini-games!
I really liked the idea of the changing environment, original and fresh idea! Then I was very pleased with the mini-game in the lobby, under the shield, which is inserted into a round sign. At first I did not understand what I need to do and why I do it. But when I run the sequence was really cool!
But I was disappointed one unpleasant moment. When I played the demo, the game is stopped and I saw a message that the demo version has expired. Although the Game Manager shows that I still have 16 minutes. I never understood why...
But despite this, the game is definitely worth a buy. Strongly recommended ;)

First, the game seemed rather ordinary, but after I was carried away by this game. I really liked the idea to gather scents and mix them. This is a really good variety of gameplay. I highly recommend this game! It's great!
Pros: - Great graphics and music - Good storyline - Voiceovers - Quite mini-games - Great idea with the scents
