I loved this game. It's pretty much a straight up HOG which is what I like. The graphics are great. I mute the sound & skip the story so I can't comment on either. The game wasn't short in length but could have been longer.
I recommend this game!

The HOGs can be difficult because of their small size and the places they are hidden are usually very dark and dismal. The mini games were unique and quite fun, even though I failed one (no retrys).
The ONLY thing I really disliked about the game is that you have to earn (find or earn in various ways) your hints one at a time and that really hits a nerve for me. So, for that reason alone, I will not purchase this game (although I earned 7 hints by the end of the free demo). I will recommend to anyone who enjoys a little sleuthing, however.
Happy Gaming! Show less

This game follows the investigation and capture of a man calling himself the Unicorn who killed his girlfriend and kept her in a trunk in his closet for 2 years. Because of the influence of his well-to-do friends, he was let out on a bond of $40,000 at which point he disappeared into Europe.

This game follows the investigation and capture of a man calling himself the Unicorn who killed his girlfriend and kept her in a trunk in his closet for 2 years. Because of the influence of his well-to-do friends, he was let out on a bond of $40,000 at which point he disappeared into Europe.
You play a new FBI agent assigned to this case to help the FBI agent who has been working the case since the beginning. As a result, a lot of the written storyline (no voiceovers) is involved with teaching you lessons. There is a lot of dialog, but without it, the game would have been even shorter.
Locations are related to the crime and some are visited more than once. There maybe 20 locations, with only one HOS per location, which is another reason the game is so short. The HOS are straight junk piles with no upgrades at all. The HOS are fairly clear and not too hard although I did need a hint a couple of times.Additional hints are earned by finishing mini puzzles correctly and other actions in the HOS.
Mini puzzles are mixed in with the HOS and are also repetitive. These puzzles center around the FBI lab and include such games as swapping tiles and matching two of a kind.
This appears to be a very old game that probably should be retired, although it might work well for a beginning player if you can get past the subject matter. Show less
I don't recommend this game.

I started playing this game, and went and excited out. I was all the way through the first 'segment'. When I returned to the game I had to go back to the beginning. What a waste of time. HO screens are seriously lacking, items are the same color as background. Overall boring. I paid for this game, but will never play it again.
I don't recommend this game.

First of all: quite boring. The scenes and game play are repetitive.
Secondly: It's not really fair if you make the objects the same color as the background no matter how unrealistic: e,g, - a blue lobster? It got to the point that I was searching for pale gray images in the background.
Finally: the writing is just plain bad.
Don't waste your time.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is NOTHING like the regular Hidden Object games. AlI you do is find objects that are barely visable. The Inventory that is displayed appeared to be just for the HOs. The hints are counted down, and if you don't solve a mini puzzle, you don't get credited for hints. I uninstalled it after just a few scenes so I can't tell you much more. Luckily I got it for free. don't waste your money.
I don't recommend this game.

Innovativemom is not a real person's review. It's the same answer for all the games that I have thought about purchasing. Now that I've noticed this, I don't know if I will be purchasing any more games. I think this says a lot because I own at least 50 games from big fish.
I don't recommend this game.
