This game is similar but different from the usual adventure- puzzle games. In this game you must find little bulbs hidden throughout the game, sometimes hidden in puzzles themselves, to increase the number of hints you can have available.
The music is OK, graphics are detailed but still some items are obscure and hard to find. There are some puzzles that may drive you crazy of which one is an arcade type. You can skip out of puzzles after a time of passing. Some selectable items are just false flags to confuse. In the search and find areas you will encounter mini puzzles to solve to find the other items.
The custom settings are basic.
The game has a poor intro, like it was a continuation of a prior game. Sometimes it takes very careful searching to find some things which temps you to use the hint button, if you have any left. So the game is challenging in the least. Overall I didn't like the story as it played out.
There are no awards or extras in this game.

This is a still picture frame interface, little animation included. On an errand you go into a clock tower and find objects that unlock different scenes with object to associate with like gun matches unarmed hunter. You also search for 2 E cards (EASTER EGGS) in each scene session. The tower has several levels to go through. You must complete all level scenes to go up to the next level. You do have some puzzles to solve, some are real mind twisters.
Music is not bad but redundant. Graphics are not of a high resolution. It makes finding things difficult. You do have a walk-through guide to find the objects.
Storyline is muddled. You have the main game, bonus game, and then an entirely unrelated accessory game involving a puzzle picture storyline. At the end you have some extra puzzles as a bonus in the extra section.
Follow the brave warrior Alva on a fantastic time management adventure and help her find a kidnapped druid!

It's colorful, has decent graphics, OK music that's 1 course redundant. The levels are challenging, even in casual mode, and quite the bear for timed- normal mode. In many I just in time got the 3 star award for normal mode, it's tricky. Fun to play in casual. Has a basic awards page. The end level is really complex and challenging.
You have to memorize the icons of the level of your production facilities, there are no labels as to what level of upgrade they are at. There are no easter eggs in this game. I hate how the game boots up, you can't blow past the startup presentation for the program company.
I recommend this game!
Enter the enchanted 'Netherworld' where your destiny was written in blood and which whispers of true love.

Typical adventure puzzle find game. Graphics are good, music is OK. Most puzzles are solvable with some that will try your patience of which you can skip. Highly configurable customization.
You have 2 easter eggs to find, 1 an object and another a morphing thing. A map guide will tell you if you have found them. At the end of both games you can go back and get the undiscovered eggs in extra section. Story line is OK, ironic turn point.
Some times you will really have to search to find what you need to continue in a scene.
I recommend this game!

Colorful, fun and addictive as ever, the only thing bad is the same old music repertoire.
You can play every level in casual and get a gold rating for just finishing the level, but there were some levels that I could not get 3 stars in the easy timed mode. E3L4 was one of those that I replayed several times and never came close enough to getting the 3 star award, needed an extra 30~60 seconds. No walk-through help in the guide either.
It has hidden easter eggs throughout for bragging rights, the guide shows you where they are at if you missed them first round. Status bar does not tell you if you found all of them.
What I don't like is at the end of a level a text box comes up with more details of the level but is soon wiped out with the score box, not enough time to read.
I recommend this game!

Story line is good as is the mood music.
The graphics are kind of surreal and monotoned, it makes it hard to find things. Puzzles are unusual, some tedious, some confusing. The guide is very basic, sometimes cryptic, as is the map navigation. Sometimes you navigate by hints.
Bonus game has no real extras.

Not much has changed since the last version. Some areas are hidden behind trees or bushes which you have to explore and uncover.
The graphics are kind of blandish. I guess they wanted to give you the sensation of a medieval environment.
The same ol ascension of berry picker to master hunter. Your rise depends on how you utilize your limited resources and weapon choice.
Story line is intriguing.
I recommend this game!

This game is superb in it's graphics with reasonable puzzles to solve. It has 2 types of easter eggs to find. It has a navigable map with indicators of the easter eggs to find.
After finishing the main game you can replay all the puzzles and hidden objects in the extra section along with the usual offerings. Some of the picture puzzles I found tedious.
You will enjoy this game with it's excellent customizations.
