Community Insight:
Love it, tho a little difficult, we have to use the hint a lot.
We really enjoy the original game and this one is very nice too! The story line is great and and the carry over graphics are nice too. Please make more like this.
Awesome story …we love this game. The scenery is beautiful.
We play a lot of the mystery puzzle games more for the puzzles than the story line. This one has a unique take on many of the tried and true puzzle types as well as new puzzles we havent seen before.
We loved this game great story. We are looking for more like this one.
One of the best challenging games we have played, bring on more like this one.
We enjoy the of the game very much.
Great graphics good story line we really would like to be able to play the whole game though we know it's not free but you can wish.
It was short and sweet. We enjoyed it.
Enjoyed the game and story line. Games were not too difficult and just let you relax and play. Thank you.
Had fun navigating the game. We are a novice so enjoy being able to figure out stuff.
Good game, but marred by several instances of no response when you click on what is obviously something to pick up. Eventually the game lets you get the object.
Like this game some Scenes where challenging but kept the game interesting. Can not wait for the next installment.
Im not that far into the game yet, but it seems, so far, like a good game. 4 stars because it doesnt respond well to touch. May follow with an update later.
Im not privy to writing reviews, but we had to say that this game offers something we hadnt come across before. There is one particular inventory item that is of no use, which towards the end of the game the main character removes from inventory and says blah, dont need this! We thought that was really cute.
Liked this game very much. There was some back and forth for small items, but the inner dialogue usually gave hints. The mini games were challenging and we accidentally hit the skip button twice because the skip bottom was really low in the left corner. This was annoying, especially on the games that had multiple games to play. HO were fair, as was the bat helper. Did not like the bird helper in the bonus chapter- it would have helped to have known he needed to be feed before he would help. Overall, good game. Being able to pick the level of difficulty of the mini games (as well as the overall games saves the game and garners the 4 stars). You might want to wait for it to go on sale, can't honestly say it's worth $6.99.
Lots of variety in puzzles which were well designed enough so you could figure out what the goal was without checking the instructions. Hidden object games were varied and not the usual tedious searches. Several games where coordination skills needed. The storyline was average.
Instead of not releasing NEW games, why dont you update and bring back OLD ones? Like Dark Parables, Mystery Case Files, Dana Knightstone, Awakening, the Smithsonian Hidden Expedition games…Huh?! Will you please do this, Big Fish? Please~.
Beautiful graphics. Decent story. Games fun, quite easy. Too easy, really… Objects in HO were slightly highlighted. There were a few places where it did not respond well to touch. Really we would call it a very good game at first, but then it literally turned into find this piece to fit in that hole to find this piece to go in that hole, and it got stupider and stupider. Very good very first game. It would be awesome to play with young children. But for anyone who plays these games.. Well, if even we thought it was too easy, it was too easy! Still, enjoy it with your kids. Beautiful graphics.
We've played a few of these types of games. Story is ok. Like others have said the graphics and art are good… But we feel that the hops aren't clear as to the objective. We find the matching game within the house to be frustrating as you just have to randomly touch the screen and hope something pops up. We didn't see any instructions.
It was a nice game, but a bit too simplistic. Right after the point of purchasing the game to finish, it ends within a few short challenges. It didn't seem worth paying, even at the lower price.
We were truly disappointed with the game because we are a diehard seek and find player and we finished the game and the bonus room in a matter of hours. We purchased this game after reading some of the reviews thinking it would be similar to Midnight Castle but its definitely not. The graphics and storyline were great. It just seemed to rush to an ending.
Find the pairs of items hidden under things in the scene? Really? Read the tale and find the items that are hidden in and around? Really? Give us a break. We enjoy hidden object adventures, and we like solving the puzzles. These aren't puzzles, they're scavenger hunts. BORING! We had high hopes for this game, but it's really childish. Also, if you ever played their EXTREMELY BORING, REPETITIVE hidden object game of Midnight Castle, you get the see the SAME scenes in THIS HO adventure! WOW. How unimaginative can these developers be? Reusing old scene and saying its a new game? Dont get us wrong. The artists are talented. The scenes are lovely, but recycling the old scenes was just too much for us. NO SALE.
It was ok, as far as these kind of games goes. At least it gave some backstory to what happened in Midnight Castle, as while ago. We get the feeling they'll drag these out, as we get bored with MC. We loved MC, then weird changes and too many tasks, and we haven't touched it in months. We'd wondered if this one was connected, and sure enough… Game play is OK, glad we got it on sale, though. Might be interested in future stories, if cheap enough. Too bad the effort didn't go into story line in MC.
We want to be able to say this is fun but once we purchased the game, it crashed. We tried reloading it but that didnt work either. So now we have paid for a game that wont let us play it. Money back please.
As soon as we paid for the app it crashes as soon as we open it.
We dont know what is wrong with this app, but it wont load!!! Too bad we wanted to check it out, oh well move on to someone elses app.
We've played our fair share of hidden object games and this one was one of the most disappointing. It lacked creativity- basically every scene and puzzle was the same; find a certain shaped amulet and put it into its place, revealing yet another shaped amulet which you put in its place, etc…..for the entire game. Didn't have to use our brain at all. Please come out with more complex and interesting concepts for your games.
Restarted and re-installed the game twice, still too many glitches. Ex. Can't pick up necessary objects.
7$ wasted. Short and ridiculous.
For a 7 dollar game, we expect it to take longer than 30 min.
We purchased this game on sale for $3.99 but our account was charged $12.98, what the heck.
