So, I immediately purchased after the demo, hoping for the best! I love crime/mystery themes and this game has both and is off to a good start so far. The demo begins with a young artist leaving his comfy lifestyle and traveling to Paris to experience something new.

He quickly makes friends with a group of fellows and meets a beautiful girl named Sasha. He falls in love, a relationship blossoms and that is where his troubles begin. One night after painting her portrait, she vanishes and the Paris police are pounding at his door. He slips out through the window.

What happens next? Frustration for our friend as he tries to solve a mystery, the man with the ivory cane seems to be an ally and the rest is for you to discover. I don't want to spoil the fun of it all for you!

The graphics are very clear and colorful. The characters have all been interesting so far, and very irritating, They all want something in exchange for a little help and I can't stand it! Their appearances are all rendered well, but facial expressions are stiff. Might be my imagination, but sounds to me like just 2 people are the voices for everyone. Very suspicious to me, was the voice of the little girl at the pier.

The games were really good, I skipped a couple, which affected the achievements within the game. Didn't see any HOs, don't know if there are any. I wasn't paying close attention to the game options. There are also collectibles, 10 elephants to keep track of in your journal. The journal stores everything you need: notes, clues, info, help, picture & explanation of your game icons, collectibles, achievements. Don't leave home without it!

So, to me this promises to be a good mystery and I am ready to do some snooping around. I have already formed my Sherlock opinion of the crime scene in the demo. I'm eager to find out what the heck is going on and why someone is trying to frame me. I do hope this turns out to be a good, solid SE game. We haven't had one for a very long time.

And now I must continue to delve deeper into the mystery in Paris and find out more about "The Man with the Ivory Cane".

God Bless.... Show less

I recommend this game!

Definitely a great detective game! It does not have any hidden object games and is all find and solve game play. The visual and graphics are amazing and the characters are exciting. I honestly hope to see more games like this from this company or even a sequel to this one! If you are a mystery lover and enjoy being a detective this game is for you!

I don't recommend this game.

The Story Line Was Unexpectedly Rich

I wasn't expecting such a memorable and captivating storyline. Most of the HOGs have story lines which fade from memory within moments of finishing the game. But this story had suspense and intrigue AND a strong and well-fleshed out main character.
An intriguing story-line is everything. Puzzles I could do without as I mainly play for the flight of the imagination which is spun into a story that turns into gold. Second most important element is the character who feels, thinks, has some vulnerability but is still intelligent and brave - and a tiny bit unique. And has something interesting to say. Just like the dashing main character of this story, in fact.
This storyline, despite the outlandishness of its plot, still had believability, except at the last plot twist. It was a bit Deux in the Machina. But, all in all, I was captivated by the game and the wonderful graphics bringing it all to life.
I hope more great games are coming from this designer/developer. Show less

I absolutely loved this game! Although this isn't a HO's game, there are a lot of puzzles and so much to do. The story line is great and it's non-stop action. If you like mysteries, you will love this! It's also like a CE! There are collectibles and achievements. All in all this game is SUPER FUN! I couldn't stop playing!

I am not a fan of 3D animation but what there was of it was very well done. The games has a real storyline which I appreciate. I found the puzzles to be just hard enough for me although I admit I had to reset puzzles over and over to finally succeed. I hope the developer creates more mysteries for me to solve. Show less
