The loading of all the scenes was really annoying. Could have been a 5-star game without that. Nice length, some decent mini games. Voiceovers were excellent. And it appears the detective has an eye for Emma. Hmmmm...
I recommend this game!

Yes, I finally have my life back after solving every single level of this game in the easier AND more difficult mode. I couldn't stop playing. I played while listening to music, watching TV, and eating. It took over my life for a whole week. While I heartily recommend this game, be prepared. You will be hooked immediately and won't be able to stop except to sleep. I'm very tempted to purchase the first game in this series. But for now I'm not going to do that because I need to catch up on things I threw aside just to finish this game. Have fun, but beware!
I recommend this game!

This game just kept getting better as I went. Really fun with excellent graphics/sound and some good puzzles. I did skip one puzzle because it's one I've never had the patience to solve. It drives me nuts -- I spend way too much time on it and then finally give up. At least it's a challenge. You actually use logic in this game! Enjoyed the music too. A 5-star game for me.
I recommend this game!

Great game but it could have been longer. I seriously didn't want it to end. I almost took off a star because of the short length but decided it was such a fun game that I couldn't do that. Voiceovers are some of the best. You'll like this one!
I recommend this game!

No proofreading before this was released, apparently. Good game but not much of a challenge, which takes away from it for me. Was happy to see a game without wispy ghosts and dark energy. Think you'll enjoy this one.
I recommend this game!

I truly don't care for contraptions that you have to use over & over again. They're not all terrible. But if you didn't like the puzzle that went with it the first time you won't like it the next 15 times either. It can make or break a game for me. I did appreciate some of the mini-games that made me think, but there weren't enough of them that challenged me. Just an ok game for me. Beginners should like it, however.
I recommend this game!

The developers finally came through with a game that requires players to use their brains. No hand holding here. Just a great game (and a long one) that challenged me and had some original features. I had to use hints twice. Normally I don't allow myself to use hints. I force my brain to get me out of situations where I'm stuck. Had to finally give in a couple of times and click the hint button. It was that challenging for me. Thank goodness there's a map. I used it often, and you will too. I highly recommend this game but probably not for beginners.
I recommend this game!

Not a bad game at all, especially if you like to search for hidden objects. Lots of those. Would have liked more of a challenge and more mini-games but it gets 4 stars from me.
I recommend this game!

Elephant used to be a favorite developer of mine. No longer. Their games have nothing new or original. I feel like I'm playing the same game over & over. The mini-games are either way too easy or they're just like all the others they offer in other games. Elephant is probably fine for beginners, children, or people who don't care for a challenge. It's just not for me anymore.
I don't recommend this game.

When I'm ready for a game to be over it's not a good sign. I found this on the boring side, with nothing new offered. It was also quite short, which in my case was a plus. The mini-games weren't challenging, and I'm really tired of using amulets to find hidden symbols. I'm recommending the game for new players. They should like it okay,
I recommend this game!
