I really enjoyed this game. It is a pretty straight-forward hidden object game with a couple of puzzles per chapter. If that's not your thing, fine, don't buy it.

I really enjoyed this game. It is a pretty straight-forward hidden object game with a couple of puzzles per chapter. If that's not your thing, fine, don't buy it. You don't have to leave a bad review about a game just because your likes and dislikes differ from other people's. Just move on to what you do like.

Furthermore, I experienced no glitches and I have played it all the way through. The instructions on writing reviews specifically state: "Don't use reviews to report technical issues." As with any game, try before buying so you know if there is an issue with your platform.

As for the complaints of too much dialogue, THEY ADDED A SKIP BUTTON as requested after the last game release. Is it too much trouble to just click the skip button? Show less

I recommend this game!

Love the skip feature for dialog. I enjoyed most of the mini-games. The few that I chose not to do I was able to easily skip with no waiting period. The game has a variety of searches. Some are word descriptions, some colored pictures of the items and others silhouettes. When you finish the game there is a bonus play section where you can choose the type of search you prefer.

I loved the different takes on Hidden Object. My only issue was there were mini games that after completion didnt give you puzzle complete and I had to hit the skip button to go any furher.. They were the matching games so I know I did all the matches.

I recommend this game!

Glitchy. Several puzzles had to be skipped to advance the game, even once completed. I enjoyed the game overall, but that problem did take away from the game experience.

This is a decent HOG and I would love to buy both games in the series but the glitches in both games are unbearable to deal with. The objects have been blended into the scenery better, they have added an Interactive Inventory Object and Zoom Zone to the HO scenes, and a dialog skip button for those who don't want to read a super-long novel after every scene or mini-game.

This is a decent HOG and I would love to buy both games in the series but the glitches in both games are unbearable to deal with. The objects have been blended into the scenery better, they have added an Interactive Inventory Object and Zoom Zone to the HO scenes, and a dialog skip button for those who don't want to read a super-long novel after every scene or mini-game.

In the last game, several people complained about not being able to make it past the third HO scene because the 3rd all-seeing eye could not be clicked on, as well as issues with swapping tiles on mini-games. When I saw they had released a second game, I thought surely they have fixed these issues when so many people complained about the same glitches, and they did fix the glitch...sort of!?! They have added a Hint feature that grabs an item for you, to compensate for this glitch, and I didn't have any issues clicking on most of the objects in this SE version (some items have to be clicked on a certain point such as the bottom right or top left to be accepted) BUT...the mini-games were still unfinishable for me personally.

The problem is, I love mini-games and I hate having to skip them but that's what I ended up doing with all but 2 mini-games in the demo! The first puzzle requires you to click and drag broken plate fragments into place and I had to click on the pieces 15-20 times to get the game to recognize the click, but I was able to complete it on the CE version. In this SE version, I couldn't click on the last 4 pieces, they just weren't accepted no matter where I clicked on the pieces! The second puzzle was the same kind of puzzle involving mosaic glass pieces, and I was only able to grab 5 shards total, the other 10 or so pieces just wouldn't pick up no matter which ones I clicked on, I even tried doing it in a specific order to no avail, on both versions. The 3rd puzzle was a Square Tile Rotation, I was able to complete it but I would click on a tile 7-8 times before the piece would actually rotate in the CE version, and in the SE version I was able to finish the puzzle but I had to click on one specific corner for each rotation. The 4th puzzle was a Candy Match Identical Pairs game, I was able to grab 3 identical pairs, after that, none of the candy was clickable, therefore not removable and I had to skip that one as well on both versions. The 5th was a Square Tile Swap puzzle that would only swap a few tiles, they could only be swapped to a few specific spaces, places they clearly didn't go in on both versions. There was a saddle puzzle that required using a needle & thread or a cloth to polish, etc. but none of the objects would actually do anything when applied, on both versions. By the time I gave up on this puzzle I was so frustrated with the glitches that it was pointless to waste any more time on the demo.

Contrary to my complaints, I happen to love this developer! Boomzap created some of my top all-time favorite HOPA game series, Awakening, Botanica, A Dana Knightstone Novel, Emberwing, and my personal favorite, Otherworld, They also have great HOGs like Antique Road Trip, and a cute game called Frogs In Love.

There are only 15 Main Chapters and the CE version has 5 extra Chapters. Each Chapter has 3-4 locations to visit for an HO scene (most scenes are repeated) that has either Listed Item Finds, Riddle Description Finds, or Multiples of the Same Object Finds. Each Chapter also has at least 2 Mini-Game available, the CE version has 10 extra Mini-Games.

Did anyone else scratch their head and wonder what the heck dad was referring to when he said "it was better than pooping their shorts on the table" Did he mean they plopped their shorts on the table, did they poop on his table, did they poop their shorts and then throw the shorts on the table? Did I miss something, or misread something here? BTW: I have finally opened my own forum! Join us for game chats and so much more, including my series lists for each game at thewoodsforum.boards.net Show less

I recommend this game!
