This is a great game from the Anarchist people. I have other games of theirs. This game, like the others, involves no blog walk through, nothing to consult. All you have to do is find things and solve fun puzzles. And, it can be played over and over again which is a huge plus for me.
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed everything about this game but was disappointed it was so short. Have played it all the way through a few times in one sitting. It is fun for adults but I agree it would be good with kids too. Especially helpful with hand and eye coordination during the moving scenes.
I recommend this game!

I bought this game years ago and find that I still come back to it to play quite often. It's not complicated with a long twisted storyline, though the story is interesting. It's purely a fun, relaxing game with a few novel scenes - such as the shooting gallery.
I recommend this game!

Probably not challenging enough for adult gamers but a great game for children & pre-teens. No morbidity, no gore, no gloom, nothing scary. Pretty much a basic, fun hidden object game. Recommend for kids.

Overall I thought this was cute and fun. Loved the music (although it eventually became repetitive) and really appreciated the change of pace from the average dark HOGs. Enjoyed the cowboy theme with horses, and related topics. The programmers deserve kudos for creativity.

Overall I thought this was cute and fun. Loved the music (although it eventually became repetitive) and really appreciated the change of pace from the average dark HOGs. Enjoyed the cowboy theme with horses, and related topics. The programmers deserve kudos for creativity.
There were, however, a couple of things that should be addressed. Game designers please listen up: the word definitions and spelling should be checked before the game is submitted. For instance, one scene called to find "thongs." Even though I'm of the older generation where thongs were known as flip flop footwear today, they could also be interpreted as a G-strings. In short, thong has two general different meanings. Consequently, in view of those two definitions, I looked for what seemed to be an eternity but couldn't find any thongs. After giving up and clicking the hint button, I discovered that the so-called "thongs" were in reality, "TONGS!" Fwiw, a tong is an instrument (or tool) used to manipulate items in a fire without having to reach into the fire using one's hands. THongs, on the other hand, are either footwear or something worn under clothing, such as a G-string or a swimsuit bottom.
Some items were extremely hard to find. For instance, I had to find a candle. After looking and looking, I saw in the far distance, a teeny, tiny thin object that I guessed was the candle. That was it. But I would not have ever normally considered it to be a candle.
One other challenging piece was being reprimanded for clicking too often. I don't mind being penalized if I click too often but not when I'm being careful to avoid doing so. Because some of the items were hard to find, I did find myself clicking more often than average. I was warned to "slow down" (which was fine) yet even after switching to a snail's clicking pace the game still seemed to think I was click-galloping too fast and continued to warn me to slow down. That became annoying.
Even though those things aren't major they do affect the quality of the game. Is it worth paying for? Depends. For me -- no, just because I want to know the definition of the item that I need to find. That was enough to interfere with the enjoyment of the game. Apart from that, the game has great potential and the theme was a delightful change. I hope that the second one worked out the issues that this one had. Show less
I don't recommend this game.

the creators/proofers probably should do a better job of labeling the objects. A top hat is NOT a derby hat, for example. this is frustrating when one is looking for one thing and finds that it is called another. Another example: "decorative cup" turns out to be a wine glass looking piece of glassware. also, the "find the difference" game sometimes is a little bit ridiculous...for example one end ...Show more

Even when I used one of my hints, I couldn't tell the difference. Other than this...average game, but frustrating to me at times because of the above examples. Show less
