Storyline

4 / 5

The plot is divided into 3 episodes (plus one more in the bonus part) from the point of view of 3 different people.
A little love story is included, so that the romance is not neglected.
The graphics are just wonderful and the individual people are lovingly drawn. The background music is appropriate and not disturbing.
There is an option to switch to match-3 instead of hidden objects.
The mini-games weren't too difficult, so even beginners can get their money's worth.
I found the map and the hint very good this time, because a lot of items in the inventory had to be taken with you. It was easy to forget which item was needed at which location.
However, I was really disappointed by the abrupt ending of the game.
I suspect there will be a sequel, only to finally see a conclusive ending (possibly even a happy ending for one or the other couple involved?).
Until the end there is no reason to complain. I felt well entertained. Show less

I recommend this game!

What a great game!!

The story is different than others. It is compelling and funny and very engaging. Good conversations. AND a choice in how the conversations take place. Also the story is very now in the message of being more understanding and not judging to each other in our 'real world'. I loved it. Looking forward to the next instalment. Bravo Do games. Love it. A lot !!!!!!

I recommend this game!

I know this game is going to get bad reviews from the DO/Domino despisers but I enjoyed playing the demo. I would purchase this with club points or a BOGO sale.
They came up with new ways to complete the usual boring tasks which makes you think a little more. Not much to the storyline in the demo but its nice not being bombarded with chat and popups.
I think we all have to come to the realization that because we have played so many HOPA games, it going to take a miracle to find a game that has a WOW factor anymore. Given that, definitely play the demo and come to your own conclusions...dont follow the reviews from the Domino malcontents. Show less

I recommend this game!

I have never seen an interaction on the main play page and I was delighted with it.

I liked and disliked so many things.

I liked most hops and wished that they weren't so hard. The bonus chapter has a morphing hops, find identical symbols while things morphed and a embroidered hops. The main game I liked the family portrait hops.
I liked no lock on the hops.

It has nice music to ...Show more

I have never seen an interaction on the main play page and I was delighted with it.

I liked and disliked so many things.

It has nice music to download. Some wallpapers don't have characters or the characters are small in the back ground. I found a few I liked. Especially the gardens.

Four different times I was asked if I wanted to complete this action because I couldn't return if I did. I really like not getting stuck in a game.

I disliked the lack of settings. No voice or environment settings. I disliked problems with audio. After using the map or checking collectibles I would hear sounds repeating and annoying. I had to turn the game off to reset it. This happen several times. The Siren on the roof dropped half of her sentence which I played over and over and she still didn't finish it.

I didn't like any mini-games at all.

The heart medallion was unnecessary and unwanted. It didn't even have the people your playing name but someone else. It just marked off time for a chapter.

The hops replays has 2 hops that weren't in the game so they won't play after finishing the game. I've seen this before.

I miss not having silhouettes in the plus items. Most of the Q & A is either nice or rude.

Has 3 chapters + Bonus, 15 wallpapers and 15 concept arts. Replay 35 videos, 19 hops, 21 mgs and 5 music. Show less

A little slow in the transitioning of scenes, other than that - no issues. Like the music and the storyline. Better than I thought.

I recommend this game!

Completed Game:
Nope, couldn't even finish the 1st chapter!
21 Main Game Scene Locations +7 Bonus Chapter
Difficulty Range:
Suited for those who have never played a great HOPA from yesteryear only-OR for seasoned players who ran out of other things to do, like organize their closet, paint the bedroom, or sit in the line at the BMV.

Right off the bat, I get a pop-up window telling me "If ...Show more

Right off the bat, I get a pop-up window telling me "If you pay attention you can find interesting things" Then a large pointer says "Take This" and points to Evelyn's scarf...or so I thought. I clicked on the scarf, and I clicked on the gem holding the scarf but nothing happened. I started randomly clicking anything and everything, I practically clicked every single eyelash on this poor maiden's face, and still, nothing happened. Alas, turns out you have to close the window first! Was that supposed to be the interesting part?

The next thing you know, I've been involved in an accident...in the middle of the forest, not a soul in sight...except for that unfortunate Bard, man, he came out of nowhere! All's good, not only is the Bard good-looking, but he's pretty agile too, considering I just ran him over with a 1200-pound horse! So I bring the Bouncy Bard home to meet dad but he doesn't make a particularly good first impression when the Po-po bangs on the Pa-pa's door to issue a BOLO.

I get another pop-up at pops place to explain that Dialog Choices have an input on the game's storyline. Now, THIS is interesting! Well, the concept isn't really interesting, what IS interesting is the fact that the Strategy guide doesn't show an alternate plot at any point which can only mean one thing...the only plot alteration is the immediate response given depending on which choice you made...the plot UNthickens...

After "remaining silent" I'm faced with yet another pop-up window to explain another amazing feature...surely, this will be a cutting-edge feature... I shiver with anticipation! Hmmm, there's an arrow pointing to the Morphing Collectible explaining that "some items should be assembled" Wait, WHAT! my morphing "Useful Trinkets" requires assembly? How cool is that! With a steady finger on my Mouse, both feet planted squarely on the floor to brace myself for incredible happenings, I carefully click on the trinket and you'll never guess what happened...literally, you'll never guess because nothing actually happened? Did it just assemble itself? Was I being punished for not having the bounce-back Bard's back?

What a letdown, so I say to myself "Self, let's take a break and spend some hard-earned Gold to buy items for my Boudoir" (okay, a little bit of an exaggeration, they are actually Gold-colored Leaves..were you expecting Forest-dwellers to use actual gold as currency? Gold doesn't grow on trees ya know, but leaves do!) WOW-wee-WOW my Boudoir is HUGE! Oh crap, this isn't my Boudoir, this is my log cabin living room... must be a typo? Awe, I can buy an adorable kitty for just a handful of leaves! As I carefully count my leaves, praying for kitty's sake that they didn't crumble to dust in my pocket, I notice something odd and confusing. The description says I'm purchasing a Black Cat but I want the adorable Grey Tabby shown snuggling up in a ball on the sofa...surely this is a "Bait & Switch Scam"?!

Obviously, Domini Games is desperate to redeem itself from a whole slew of subpar game offerings of late. Clearly, they are just coming up with new series by simply re-titling games and now they are taking it one step further by pretending to offer new & exciting features within the games when in reality, they are bogus.

The last 10 or so games have been riddled with glitches, and typo's that are actually occurring because they copy/pasted features from the previous game and didn't bother to match the name with the feature. The last game had 3 different names for the featured collectible in 3 different places (the Extra's menu-the pull-out tab-strategy guide) and this game is riddled with oversights as well.

We don't want "shiny" we just want a game that challenges us a bit, makes us have to think about what to do next, a game that isn't cloned over & over...just like the games that were created when Domini first jumped into the BF pond! What happened to your pride Domini? Why can't you break the mold to create something better than the 2.5 average rating games you keep offering? We prefer quality over quantity...have you read any of your reviews? How many reviewers have to say they gave up on your games and will just go replay an older game...that say's it ALL!

Collectibles/Morphing Objects (CE version only)
There are 14 Morphing Useful Trinkets, 14 Magical Beasts, and 70 Zoom Zone Leaves that are used to purchase 14 Boudoir Items (the Boudoir is actually a living room in a log cabin) and the black cat is actually a grey tabby but whose keeping track?

Hidden Object Scenes:
The Hidden Object Scenes were varied, such as Keywords in Sentence Finds which was very difficult to find objects on a black stone with sketches made of white chalk, not to mention that the correct object didn't seem to correlate with the description. I did enjoy the HO where you had to find items on a picture map as riddled descriptions (? + ? = Tools of a Woodcutter) and the next item was related to the first one but had the first word filled in, such as, Axe + ? = Tools of the Woodcutter. I think they missed the make a tad bit by attempting to make it more challenging, the objects weren't very sensible most of the time. There are also several smaller Zoom Zone HO's where you were tasked with finding 6 Silhouetted Shapes shown.

Alternate Match 3 Game:
There is an alternate Match 3 Game available if you don't want to play a Hidden Object Scene. It's the same M3 game, the same boards, the same icons offered in every game. Why not at least change the icons or the M3 type once in a while???

Collector's Edition Extra's: (CE version only)
15 Wallpapers, 15 Concept Art Pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 35 Movie Video Cutscenes, 41 Achievements, 21 Replayable Mini-Games, 21 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 14 Morphing Useful Trinkets, 14 Magical Beasts, and 70 Zoom Zone Leaves that are used to purchase 14 Boudoir Items, 3 Main Chapters, +Bonus Chapter, and a Built-In Strategy Guide.

If you miss the BF forums, fear not! Come to my new forum which has even more features to enjoy, including game help & chats, Series Lists, Group Play Adventure Games, and lots of familiar names...not to mention a few hungry Bears who love smores! thewoodsforum.boards.net Show less

I don't recommend this game.
