Very good game.
This game is one of the longest games I have played in years from Big Fish. To me that is good. At first I thought it may not be good but it got better . Some twist in it along with couple of times I thought this was the end but a good thing it went on.
There are many puzzles in this game which may bothersome but most to me are average with a couple I had no clue and skipped

This game is one of the longest games I have played in years from Big Fish. To me that is good. At first I thought it may not be good but it got better . Some twist in it along with couple of times I thought this was the end but a good thing it went on.
There are many puzzles in this game which may bothersome but most to me are average with a couple I had no clue and skipped them.
The main man in the game came off as a little annoying at first but finally calm down to a barrable tone.
Most collectables were not too hard to find. No way to go back and find them after the game was done.
The bonus game was very good and longer than most main games here lately, so you do get your money's worth.
Very good graphics .
Try it you will like it. Mikie does .

BF Gamers give this game a chance. Based on demo and I've already purchased it...like the storyline, puzzles are fun and challenging enough. Morphing objects, collectables and books to find. One complaint, they do not show you on the map or side panel if any of the 3 items are in the scene. Regardless, I really am enjoying this game. I can't remember the last time I bought or recommended a Do ...Show more

It's been quite a while since I played/bought a Do Game. They were always exactly the same (same tasks). This one is SO VERY different. I had to buy this one. Very long and very enjoyable.

To be clear, I am not a fan of Do Games. The repetition in tasks was always too much. However, this game is different. It had generous gameplay, great storyline, and interesting mini games. The HOG scenes were better than any Do Game of recent memory (and they're lots of them). Yes, I happen to recommend this one! Well done Do!
I recommend this game!

Game pretty good except for the fact that devs skimped out in the Walkthrough guide. THE STEPS TO SOLVING PUZZLES HAS BEEN ELIMINATED. Only an image of the finished version. Sorry, not helpful. Please go back to providing the individual steps for solving puzzles for those of us who would prefer to either use a few steps as a hint, or would rather attempt to solve at least part of the puzzle ...Show more

However, after purchasing, I discovered items in the HO scenes that were too small and/or too dark to see, unclear goals, no intuitive game play, and several puzzles that simply did not work.

However, after purchasing, I discovered items in the HO scenes that were too small and/or too dark to see, unclear goals, no intuitive game play, and several puzzles that simply did not work.
I gave up game play in the third part, because the hook/key/lock puzzle would not work at all, and I was unable to skip. This was a great disappointment. Although it certainly wasn't the best game, I would have liked to have been able to finish it.
I will remember this experience, and avoid this developer in the future.
