The Kingdoms of Tar have only recently begun to experience peace and tranquility. Wars raged for hundreds of years, White magic versus Dark magic, Good against Evil, those who sought to control the defenseless, against those who sought to defend the defenseless. That was over seventy years ago, and Dark magic is forbidden, and those born with the gift of magic, must attend the School of Witchcraft to learn to control their precious gift. Still, there are those who live on the fringe of society, refusing to conform, refusing to control the magic within. They call these nomads, the Apostates, and these rebels may very well be responsible for the casting a very dark spell, a spell that turns people into a tree. Someone has planted a Dark Seed into a White magic society!

This is where your particular skills as a healer come into play, because your magic makes you medically immune. Your mentor, Dr. Klein, has summoned you to treat Teresa, an Imperial maidservant, the first victim of a horrifying spell that slowly transforms a person into a tree, Equipped only with a Healer's Kit and Diagnostic Lens, you're ready to face any medical emergency this kingdom throws at you, once you whip up a magical potion recipe and play a mini game of course! In this Collector's Edition version, there are 15 collectible Busts of Famous Doctor's, 15 collectible Museum of Medicine Artifact's, and 69 Crystals to collect which allows you to buy animals in your Zoological Garden. There are also Journal Notes to discover throughout the game, but I'm assuming these notes are available in both editions.

The Hidden Object Scenes are a bit scarce in the demo, and there is an optional Match 3 game available as well. The first HOP is multi-layered with finding 4 colored gems, and then finding items that match the keywords in each sentence as a story is being told. There is a small Zoom Zone HOP available too, which requires you to find multiples of an item and then match them to each other.

The Mini Games were good, but nothing really complicated or new. Most of the Mini Games are available in an Easy or Hard difficulty mode. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Assemble the emblem by swapping 2 pieces.

2) Press symbols in the correct order using the clues in the book as a reference.

3) Swap Portraits so each frame fits into the silhouetted shape left on the wall.

4) Trap the purple bacteria in the center by rotating groups of green pills.

5) Drag the lens around to discover infected areas on the patient, and click on them.

6) Eliminate all but one chip by selecting any chip positioned between a matching pair.

7) Place each recipe ingredient where they logically belong and then select the start button to see which ingredients are correct.

8) Uncover the picture to open a portal. Position the arrow tiles to guide the slider over every cell on the board, then select play to test your solution.

This Collector's Edition has 10 Wallpapers, 10 Concept Art pictures, 35 Achievements to earn, 5 Music Soundtracks, 15 Museum of Medicine Artifacts to collect, 15 Famous Doctor's Busts, 69 hidden Crystals to purchase 9 Zoological Garden critters, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

The map is provided at the beginning of the game - it transports quickly and shows if you have missed a collectible. There is also an option in the map to turn it off if you want more of a challenge.

Shortly into the game you collect a colourful little bird which returns to your inventory after you use it to collect something you need. It's not really a helper as it's unobtrusive, nor does it sing, dance or dress up in clothes!

Collectibles:
69 Crystals
14 Cup Cakes - which you eat.
15 Busts
15 Artifacts

To the right of your inventory next to the Tasks book are 3 golden circles where your collectibles are stored, you can see how many you have collected so far by clicking on them.

The game is littered with small animals and some move if you touch them, I love animals. (They are not related to the game play).

And finally something original to use for clearing spider webs away! Show less

It has an original story, or at least one I haven't seen before so that puts it ahead of many of the CEs we get on offer. The graphics are beautiful and colorful, the voice acting is good, I love my little birdy helper and there are free, no-cal snacks. Some of the puzzles are a little challenging for me but everything else is a delight to play.

I recommend this game!

The Kingdoms of Tar had been ruled for centuries by magicians until Carven Tar-liss who led the white magicians finally won the battle. After Carven Tar-liss declared himself Emperor and banished all black magicians from the kingdom, the people now live in peace and prosperity.

You play the game as a healer who was rescued as a newborn by Emirus Klein from a dark ritual that took the life of your mother. Dr. Klein, founder of the Medico Imperium, has raised you as his own son and now you are a certified white magician and a healer. Dr. Klein has urgently summoned you to the Medico Imperium because your skill is needed to fight a mysterious illness that is turning people to trees. The kingdom’s Empress Patricia, who became ruler when her father died, is now suffering from the illness and needs your help. We soon learn that there is a battle for power as Patricia’s brother plots her downfall.

Enchanted Kingdom A Dark Seed is one of those games that starts off very slow as it seems bogged down with so many little tasks to accomplish. Although the game is off to a slow and sometimes tedious start, it improves greatly towards the end of the demo. Hopefully you will stick with the game for a bit before deciding that you might not like it because, IMHO, it is really a terrific game if you happen to enjoy mixing potions and fantasy. When I originally played the beta for the game I gave up on it but when I restarted it another day I found that I really liked it.

The game has gorgeous graphics although some scenes might be a bit dark but that too improves after the demo. The game offers a custom mode of gameplay that seems standard in most games now but I like the one from this developer. Your tools include an interactive map, your Healer Kit and Diagnostic Lens that you will use to determine the cause of an illness and then mix the appropriate potion to heal your patient. You also have a helper in the game – a Magic Bird that is given to you by Dr. Klein.

The HOP scenes are excellent and include a variety of styles. Although there is nothing new here the scenes are well designed and enjoyable to play through to find the item I need to continue in the game. If you are not thrilled by trying to find the required items an alternate match 3 game is included in most of the scenes. I love the puzzles in the game that include the option to choose either an easy or hard difficulty. Some of the puzzles were ones that I loved particularly one where we need to complete a mural in order to enter a secret chamber. I tried solving the puzzle on the hard mode but ended up changing to the easy mode which still took quite a bit of time to solve. I actually love the puzzles from this team because they are creative and generally fun to solve.

If you prefer the CE version of the game this one has a ton of collectibles to find. I really like the way this developer sets up the collectibles in each scene as there are circles attached to the inventory area that will indicate when there are collectibles to find in a scene. Collectibles include Crystals, Busts, Artifacts, and Notes. A fun touch is the 14 cupcakes you get to find and eat (talk about sugar overload) as you move through the game. For those of you who achievements there are so many to earn that they will surely keep you busy. The other extras include the Strategy Guide, Bonus Game, a Museum of Medicine, a Zoological Garden, a Gallery of Famous Doctors, Wallpapers, Concept Art, and Music. IMHO, Enchanted Kingdom A Dark Seed includes a terrific package of extras.

As I mentioned above the game starts off slowly but picks up momentum towards the end of the demo. I love fantasy games and this storyline is different and interesting. Even though I purchased the game, I always recommend that you try the demo. If you can muddle through the slow beginning, you might just enjoy the game as much as me. Show less

I recommend this game!

The graphics are a beautiful detailed art work in stunning colours ;the music and voices match the story. There are crystals, busts and artefacts to collect and you get some cupcakes to eat on your way. You get a pretty little bird as your helper and name it yourself.
The HOP's are partial interactive or you can swop it for a Match 3; also the puzzles can be set on hard or easy. All together it is a great game for everyone , it's on my shopping list already . Show less

I beta tested this game and enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm a sucker for stories that turn a person into any kind of nature creature.

The Empress, Patricia, is very infected with the Dark Seed disease and a potion has to be concocted for her immediately. Patricia recalls how a black figure came into her bedroom as she slept and was touching her clothing. I don't know if it was her bed clothing or just the clothes in her closet. Might be a significant clue. She thought it was just a dream until she felt changes in her health and put 2 and 2 together. Hopefully it's not too late to save her from the horrid transformation.

You are THE best Healer in the entire realm, who has magical immunity, and have been summoned to heal her. Teresa, the maid servant is also transforming. So get with it, Healer. You have been ordered by the Empress to apprehend the Black Magician before he frees all the black magic users from the Anti-Magic Prison. He was in her chambers that night, looking for her medallion which is needed to accomplish his evil deed.

You have access to the Imperial Griffin as your speedy transportation and her guards are at your command. So get in there and do your duty! Your (annoying?) little bird helper stays in the inventory until you need him for a task.

There are 64 crystals to find throughout the game, that will modify your zoo pets. A few other fun collectibles, even cupcakes. You can choose the difficulty of your mini games. I loved the HOGs that give you statements with highlighted words to help find the hidden object. And I liked my name being written blood, in the registry book at the entrance of the Medico Imperium.

The graphics were beautiful, the colors appropriate for the time depicted. The characters were well done and the music was not irritating. I hope the bird helper doesn't keep you from the Dark Seed. I thought it was a good game and look forward to purchasing it. Sometimes I have to take that leap of faith, and especially with trees involved, I've just got to do it

Well I stayed with it the entire time. Did not use the hint button, used the map, loved the designs, loved the HO's, and was captivated by the characters. Lately it has been slim picking, actually the empty desert, but this game is good, enchanting and different. I liked the potion making, the forest people, and the puzzles a lot ! For once I did not regret buying the game!!!

I recommend this game!
