Click. Click. Click. Click.
Looking for random stuff, unclear where to go or how to proceed. Resorted to clicking on everything, hoping something would finally work. The premise is cute . . . the execution is awful. No strategy guide, hints are little help, graphics are cartoony in the worst way. Cannot figure out why this would be a collector's edition. Don't reccommend.
I don't recommend this game.
Join the struggle between hubris and the natural world!

This game might appeal to kids 12 and under. Your niece has gone missing. You track her down, and find the camp abandoned next to a glowing crack in the ground. You have to safely descend down to the bottom of the chasm. There is a coil of rope nearby, and some anchors for it. Instead, you repair a parachute, and parachute down! Um . . . no. Even in fantasy, that's illogical, unless you have several thousand feet in which to jump. At the bottom, you have a fantasy garden. You meet a character riding a gigantic bumblebee, assemble a picture of your niece, and three giant gold stars appear to tell you you did a good job! At that point I was done with the demo. I don't need a participation trophy for solving a few puzzles---I want to get on with the game! I enjoyed the first two Maze of Realities games; this one is a big "nope." Can we please have some games for grownups?
I don't recommend this game.

Playing with Windows 11. I noticed another reviewer said the game didn't work with Windows 10. It did work with Windows 11, but was very jerky and slow to respond. Could be a fun game, if this was fixed.
I don't recommend this game.

Not very challenging. Objects were easy to find, puzzles were easy to solve. I played for 30 min, then had to pause for a few min to deal with something in real life. When I came back, my progress had not been saved; I had to replay a hidden object scene and restart a simple jigsaw puzzle from the beginning. It wasn't overwhelming fun the first time; the second time, it was just a nuisance. I didn't finish the demo. If a game won't save my progress, I'm not interested.

I bought this game years ago, and recently repurchased it to play on my new Bigfish account. I had always enjoyed being able to create jigsaws from my own photos and artworks. I played the demo, using one of my own photos, and it worked beautifully, so I bought it. This morning, when I tried again to use my artwork as a jigsaw, I could import the picture, but could not get it to create the individual pieces. I checked the "help" in the game, only to find out that "This edition of the game is not able to create new jigsaws. Please visit our web site for details of the full edition that can create new jigsaws." So I did . . . and found out I can purchase an upgrade for $13 to enable this feature. Which is more than the full price of the game from Bigfish. So now I'm trying to decide how much I really like this game, and if I want to upgrade. I would NOT have purchased this game, if I'd known that I had to spend additional money for an upgrade! And I would not have purchased, except in the demo version I had been able to use my own art! I kinda feel like this was a bait and switch.
I recommend this game!
