I found this refreshing and fun. I actually bought the CE which is a push for me but I couldn't stop playing and actually played it twice.
Enjoy!!

I recommend this game!

I played this on another site a while ago & loved it from the start, Ok its not for the hard core players but for people like me who just enjoy an easy, fun game to relax with. Unlike most people I really enjoyed the chat & story line which is unusual for me as I nearly always skip the talking, This was interesting & am certainly going to buy

I recommend this game!

This game is really fun to play. It would be excellent if you could skip the dialogue. Having to click continue 8-10 times on every screen is excessive.

I am enjoying this game a lot and purchased it. I like the variety of things available. It's a great "chill out" game for me when I want to kick back and relax. BUT, the amount of dialogue is insane. I finally got to the point where I stopped reading it and am clicking through it as quickly as possible click click click click click click.

I finally got to the point where I stopped reading it and am clicking through it as quickly as possible click click click click click click. It's like the developer wrote a book and then decided to insert a game into the book at intervals. Thank goodness you can click through the dialogue and aren't forced to read it all. If that had been the case, I would not have purchased the game. Show less

I really enjoyed this game. It is pretty much all HOS with a few fun puzzles thrown in. This would be a buy for me and I would be giving it 5 stars except that the dialogue just goes on and on between every scene and puzzle and between every chapter.

I share the frustrations of another reviewer. Clicking on objects is hit or miss. If you don't get it exactly right, the object doesn't move. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game hoping it would help, but no such luck. I am unable to progress in the game for the 2nd time. Don't waste your money or time.

I don't recommend this game.

Oh My - well first the game play was smooth no glitches but way too easy. I liked the music it was different and refreshing. The biggest problem I had is this is a very detailed story and you have to read the whole thing.

I got so tired of the story that I just played the hidden object scenes but that got boring fast. The mini games are also very simplistic and easy. Show less

When I played the Ce version I ran into an issue where I couldn't progress past the third HO scene because it wouldn't let me click on the last all-seeing eye. Even when I click the hint, it tells me to click where I'm clicking, but no matter where I click on the all-seeing eye, it just won't accept it and I couldn't progress.

When I played the Ce version I ran into an issue where I couldn't progress past the third HO scene because it wouldn't let me click on the last all-seeing eye. Even when I click the hint, it tells me to click where I'm clicking, but no matter where I click on the all-seeing eye, it just won't accept it and I couldn't progress. I downloaded the SE version today hoping they had solved this issue, but they didn't bother to make this a new game, it has all the stats saved from the original CE game so it took me right back to the 3rd HO scene and right back to having just one item left to remove, the all-seeing eye...which still can't be removed...so I will still give this game one star for putting forth no effort to fix the issue, or even change the stats on the SE game to allow for a new game to start. Yes, I did start a new profile, and yes, I still ran into the same issue with the third all-seeing eye btw!

It's unfortunate that this developer chose to make a comeback after a long hiatus with such a simplistic Hidden Object Game that has a boring story and annoying repetitive music. The game has so many flaws that it's impossible to complete. This developer created amazing HOPA series' like Awakening, Botanica, Emberwing, and one of my personal favorites, Otherworld, so they certainly have the capability!
There were items listed such as "cart-wheel" but that didn't actually mean the wheel that was attached to the cart, nope, it was referring to a wagon wheel...okay I can deal with that.

The game was extremely finicky about where you clicked on an object, if you weren't clicking the dead center of the object it wouldn't recognize the click, and I thought I could deal with that as well until I got to the first mini-game which was a Tile Swap puzzle which wouldn't allow me to swap most of the pieces because it simply didn't recognize that I was clicking on a tile section. I could click on one piece and it would highlight right away, then I'd click on a second one to swap it with and it would literally take 10-15 clicks before it would swap the pieces. By the time I got to the last piece, no matter how many times I clicked it, it just wouldn't swap. Obviously, it was the correct piece if it's the only one left (I even used the hint button) and several minutes later I was forced to use the skip button to move forward in the game.

Now I'm on the third Hidden Object Scene that takes place in a German pub. One of the objects is a Moebius Strip which I have no clue as to what that may be so I save that for last, and I am tasked with finding 3 "All-Seeing Eyes" the final one was impossible to click on, well actually I clicked on it so many times that the screen turned into an icy frost to punish me for my multi-clicking frenzy ways. Again, I used the hint to be sure that this was indeed the Droid I was searching for, but no matter where I clicked, how hard I clicked, how soft I clicked, whether I left-clicked, right-clicked, or tried to sneak attack click, it wouldn't pick up this "all-seeing eye" that apparently sees absolutely nothing! I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and the all-seeing eye is still staring at me, daring me to make another fruitless attempt.

This is the end of the line folks, I can't finish this HO scene, I can't skip this HO scene, therefore I can't progress. As I've already stated, I had issues with the game mechanics being quite finicky, the music is rather annoying, the story is rather boring with a ton of dialog boxes and no voiceovers, the graphics aren't great, the objects are huge. Even if I could complete the game, I'm not sure I'd have given it much more than a 3-Star rating if that. There are only 16 Main Levels and 5 CE Levels and each location has 2 mini-games. Even if the game works flawlessly for you, I'm not sure that 5 extra scenes are worth the CE price, so if the game works for you, I'd suggest this SE version. You can find my series list at my new forum at thewoodsforum.boards.net Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Such a frustrating game. You will click on an item to pick up, even going to where the hint tells you and you cannot pick it up, hence you cannot go farther in the game. This game has been out for a while and this is usually a good developer.. Get with it, and fix these errors.

I don't recommend this game.
