Grandma Studios Limited presents a new direction for storytelling in the Hidden Object genre with City of Stories: Stephan’s Journey!

Stephan is a young man on a modest family farm in England’s countryside during the Tudor period. When a few bad harvests put the farm dangerously behind on bills and taxes, Stephan makes a difficult decision to say goodbye to his family and journey to the city to make a name for himself, forge a career, and make enough money to save his family!

Chapter by chapter and scene by scene, you make the choices that determine how Stephan’s story unfolds! But choose carefully because not everyone he meets has his best interests in mind. Fortunately, you can replay previous chapters to rewrite the story and pursue a different path. Will Stephan become a guard, a dockhand, a merchant, or something completely different? Experience the excitement and fear of a young man setting out into a bigger world on his own for the first time, and earn enough money to buy upgrades and save the family farm in this brand-new story-driven Hidden-Object Puzzle Adventure game!

This is a special Collector's Edition release full of exclusive extras you won’t find in the standard version.

The Collector’s Edition includes:
  • Join the adventures of a young orphan in the Bonus Chapter!
  • Write your favorite story with a strategy guide!
  • Replay your favorite mini-games and enjoy unlimited Match-3!
  • Find collectible cards and earn coins to upgrade your farmhouse!
  • Enjoy exclusive wallpapers, music, videos, and concept art!

I absolutely loved this game! It has the most variety of mini games throughout the entire book. Each section is a chapter through a book telling Stephen's story.

I almost stopped playing the games because those demonic symbols and skulls and death just aren't my bag. I hope you create more good clean fun adventure hidden object games so refreshing. There definitely aren't enough like this. I've been a member for many years and this game, by far, takes the cake!! Thank You!! Show less

The pacing was just right and really enjoyed the story. Lot's of hidden objects to find and lots of great puzzles. Particularly enjoyed earning coins to upgrade the family home, although another playthrough will be in order to get enough coins to finish it, which, with a game this good I really don't mind! Played the game to completion and the bonus chapter, definitely looking forward to the next release (I've just tested the beta version, shaping up very nicely!). Delightful :-) Show less

I rarely follow the storylines in games, I don't always have the patience and don't play every day so sometimes lose track! However, this game was brilliant and I loved every minute of it, and I followed the story from start to finish. Didn't want the game to end.
I never have the volume on so don't know what that is like.

I never have the volume on so don't know what that is like.
Visual clues and written clues for HOG and some nice puzzles in between.
When I finished I immediately searched the BFG website to see if there were any more in this series, but alas, No! Hopefully, there will be more like this soon. Show less

I have been addicted to HOG's for a long time; so this was a delightful surprise. Still a story-connected HOG, it is a different slant on the usual grim story lines. Music is very relaxing and much to be learned from the collector cards. The artwork is lovely and the level of challenge is perfect. Well done!

I really like the concept of this game. It is just that bit different in it's execution and provides lots of interest as you move through it. The mixture of HOS that are also a little more challenging and the puzzles make it compelling. Really loved this new game
