Graphics and characters are well done. Hidden object are varied and some good some so-so. Games...I hate them. They are repeated formats and annoying and I consider them just a time waster. Story is predictable...good guy or bad guy? Just didn't catch my interest. The only reason for a 3 is the graphic design. This developer has to come up with some new games that aren't repeated...a variety. Thank goodness they can be skipped. Try the trial to see what you think. You might enjoy it. I didn't
I recommend this game!

Graphics varied, poorly developed characters, books with items to find for backstory, hard to see and over used concept. HO games are dark, items small and hard to find in some cases, had to click more than once to collect some items. Just couldn't get into it and predictable...kids searching for other kids will also disappear into "green smoke." to be continued....
Take the trial run and see what you think. I might have recommended this if the graphics were better especially the character development.
I don't recommend this game.

Overall graphics, characters, design, voice overs are good. Disliked the mini games, HO had variety. Just couldn't get into the story or the flow of the game. I was looking forward to finishing...sad commentary. First, I dislike circus themes but didn't have to suffer long. Just lots of tasks to get past to move forward to disjointed, muddled next steps. Didn't seem to have much purpose or continuity, like bits and pieces put together. I guess I'm just tired of the same old thing and want more than offered. Was trying to give it a go and THEN the infamous lock pic game popped up and I went screaming out of the room and called it a day!
I suggest you try it out to see what you think. Take the trial. It's a great option! I'll recommend it based on my average rating, but I won't purchase it for myself.
I recommend this game!

Graphics are good, Characters (expect for ghost) are well crafted and voice overs are good.
But...so many mini games, I figure that is how this presentation will advance .UGH! Hidden Object Games are nicely done with some variety.
Story is very slow and with so many put together objects it just became rather boring. The tasks are back and forth and for such silly little things it just became annoying. The constant interruption of mini games broke any sense of continuity. Lots of fiddling around with little action or interaction.
The special paranormal camera view was poorly done, maybe supposed to less clear but it was just bad development.
The "ghost" seemed to appear from another era? Creepy dolls...just not my idea of a good time .I finished the trial but not interested in knowing what else happens. This one just didn't seem up to par with others from this developer.
Take the trial run for yourself and see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

Graphics are okay, lots of small items and clutter. Characters are well designed. Voice overs for men are good, for main female character overacted and juvenile. Can't these developers find 1 or 2 good actors to say these minimal poorly written lines? Not fond of script either. Story had some merit had it been thought out a bit more with a better lead-in introduction.
Started out okay but once on ships, boats and ? can see endless back and forth to collect and put together stuff to get to island below. Old style box in center of screen. Haven't seen that for ages. Seems like an old Mad Head "put on the shelf" production and brought out to spruce up a little. I found it boring, overacted, and lacking anything that made me want to find out more.
Oh, guy on first ship died years ago, but a monkey is hanging out there AND she leaves without the monkey. Guess the monkey must have known how to get around? I did worry about that monkey's fate, but that is a about it.
Couldn't even finish the trial once I hit the bazaar and knew I was in for multiple back and forth trips to collect items to buy what needed. Sigh!
I gave up reading rave reviews ages ago and buying based on them. Ended up more often disappointed than pleased.
Now I take the trial run to see if the story entices me to see what happens next and offers first and foremost attention to detail such as an interesting story, well-written dialogue and characters that are individually designed and don't over-act and have pleasant and appropriate voice overs. I even consider presentations that lacks a few of the above qualities but feel the content is so well designed its worth the visual experience to purchase. Sadly, this isn't one of those.
Hidden Object games are ordinary. Didn't like the sketch book design (not even a picture book) that requires finding 3 misplaced items and returning them to where they belong.
Mini games SIGH just skipped them.
Take the trial run and see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

Did she catch the "Artist?" Guess the pesky reporter was there but then what are we doing and why? Maybe I wasn't paying attention because I found the game boring and ordinary with little to offer to maintain my attention.
Graphics can be lightened at options but nothing really to shout home about. Run of the mill graphics. Routine tasks that take you back and forth.
Hidden Object Games are ordinary with clear options except for matching similar items.
Mini Games offered nothing new and dislike picture book that requires find 3 items that don't match....tired old stuff. Board to use for moves from location to end...sigh!
I was waiting for something to happen to entice me to want to move forward but it never happened. Abrupt end of trial and nothing that sold me on purchasing this one.
Take the trial run, see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

Graphics are average and mostly plain and uncluttered or on occasion very cluttered.
Characters are wooden and have little to say which is a good thing because the dialogue is horrible and overacted.
Search, find and match runes to examples is old and takes time with little reward. Game moves forward very slowly with silly tasks, overused objectives...put together fishing pole to retrieve an object.
Hidden Object games are general and some items are hard to identify. Mini Games are plenty for those who like them. I skipped them.
Tasks often lacked clarity or purpose other than to make the player run back and forth.
Just not much innovation or new ideas. Girl whisked away as baby because of some mysterious and apparent dangerous reason. At 16, she experiences something and is taken back to where she was found. If she was taken away to be safe why put her in peril by taking her back?
Later, woman who brought girl back is on 2nd floor of building trying to discover location of a mystery key and the bad guys toss a fire bomb trapping her inside! Duh! They need her to find the key! She did escape. So the story continue.
Like I said, poor script and story, not a lot of thought went into this one. I could see returning to save the girl and solve her mysterious turning of age condition, but to take her into danger is just dumb writing. Honestly I can write a better script and dialogue and so can you probably!
Run of the mill game that may satisfy fans of Mad Head but I found it boring and was happy when trial was over. As I always say, take the trial run to see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

Graphics are often dark and cluttered, but otherwise some beautiful scenery. Characters are nicely designed and costumes detailed but voice overs are a bit over the top and green light gets tiring when villain appears and his voice over is bad!
This theme/story isn't anything new. Rescue love, save others and destroy bad guy. Journey through tasks and peril to complete this journey. What amazes me is the poor script and story. Caravan is burning down, there's a well with water but you have to find a way to get to the water...all the while the caravan is turning to ash. Wasted effort. There might have been opportunity for more items to discover in half burned caravan rather than deal with ONE pail of water that wouldn't help anyway. Said it before...who writes these scripts?
Games are the same old themes...lock pick x 2, remove coins x 3 (don't like multiple games to move forward) and navigate boat by number of moves. I completed a couple but mostly skipped them.
Hidden object games are cluttered and often no clue what to do to find the next put together piece. Pretty scenes but lack of clarity makes them often more annoying than fun.
Storybook pictures to explain back story is just taking the easy road of development. If once or twice, but repeatedly is "lazy."
Overall for a game that is pleasant to the eye most of the time has some good design and kills time to see what happens next, which is rather predictable, I'd say take the trial run to see if you want to spend $$$ to see the entire game. This is just my opinion and there are plenty others. It's up to you.
I recommend this game!

Great graphics with attention to detail, enjoyed the visuals. Characters are well-developed and thought was given to interior and exterior designs. Characters are diverse and well crafted.
Story moved forward with interesting tasks, appropriately timed Hidden Object Games and Mini Games without exceeding either.
Good script and voice overs are well done so far. Zul is a bit over the top but then he is a misguided protector with a heart no one knew about. Had to chuckle with Zul's name....doesn't that ring a bell?
Overall good trial presentation that kept my interest and gave me reason to consider purchasing this game! Nice job!

WATCH TRIAL BEFORE YOU BUY!
Subject matter could have had merit, but sad disappointment after introduction. Boring and juvenile presentation. Graphics are bright especially the green and purple/violet.
Tasks are confusing with little clarity and mostly requires putting multiple items together and that process is glitchy.
Poor script. Can't these developers write a decent sentence that might instill interest or curiosity in the player?
On trip to save her baby sister, older sister encounters monster bigger than the stage coach! So where did it go? So many of us know that in Pride and Prejudice little sister runs away with bad boy and family is distraught.
Later a badly developed witchy villain appears! So bad boy has turned into some enchanted minion of this red lady. Ugh!
I expect quality design in characterization, decor and scenery, with a story that provides clarity and moves forward. I expect an intelligent script and development that provides enough interesting events and/or information to propel me to want more. There is NO reason this can't be provided with the technology we have today. This was NOT one of those presentations!
I was bored right after the introduction, but wanted to see if 30 minutes would change my mind. Nope! This is another game that decides to fill with mini games and boring multiple combine runes or whatever to waste time. Game after game continued before a gate opened into a huge yard/garden.
Collect bats, sure if you can see them. I found them by accident in dark corners and there are too many dark corners.
Hidden Object Game if you want to call it that called for you to match small candles with tiny little icons to just as unclear candle holders.
The trial ended abruptly with no forethought to entice a player to want more, but my mind was already set after the first 5 minutes. I'm surprised this presentation was even offered to Big Fish players!
I don't recommend this game.
