PLUS SIDE = I keep this game on my desktop to replay the Hidden Object scenes, all of which are unlocked for replay once you complete the game. One of my favorite things about this game is the music, for some reason I just love it and replay sometimes just to hear the soundtrack. I also love the graphics, and the items you need to find in the Hidden Object scenes (i.e., like Rhiana's living room and particularly Mel's apartment, love the cat). It's fun to find items in pretty spots, this is so relaxing to play.

MINUS SIDE = The story is not particularly complicated, and this is a very linear game, but it is a game I enjoy replaying for the Hidden Object scenes Show less

I recommend this game!

This is such a fun game! It is an old school HOS. The HOS were really nice, not junk piles. Some of the objects were really challenging to locate. The mini games were fun, not overly hard, but fun. The graphics are nice. The cut scenes are more cartoon, which is a nice change of pace. The voice overs were pretty good. The music was nice...which I rarely say about any game.

This is such a fun game! It is an old school HOS. The HOS were really nice, not junk piles. Some of the objects were really challenging to locate. The mini games were fun, not overly hard, but fun. The graphics are nice. The cut scenes are more cartoon, which is a nice change of pace. The voice overs were pretty good. The music was nice...which I rarely say about any game. I left the music on the whole game.

The story line is a bit linear, but had a very satisfying conclusion. The map guides you to each location, which is nice. The bulk of the game takes place in Rome. It would have been fun to visit more historical sites in Rome. It was nice to play a game that didn't have the "dark and creepy" vibe.

Once you complete the story, you can go back to each location and play extended HOS, which is really fun. You can also re-watch all the cut scenes.

I highly recommend this game for a refreshing change of pace and some fun HOS. Show less

I played the hour trial. I found I really liked the game! I found the story interesting, liked Rhianna's character and liked the puzzles. I liked that you got an "area cleared" note when you had finished it. The HOG scenes were good and not dark.

The HOG's were plentiful but not too repetitive, only going back to the exact same scene twice if repeated at all.

I just finished this little gem of a game and had to write my first review after being a club member for 10 years. The HOG's were plentiful but not too repetitive, only going back to the exact same scene twice if repeated at all. The hidden objects are tiny but the artwork is so crisp that I had no trouble locating most of the items. I only resorted to the hint once and then found that if I got up to do something else and then came back to the screen I always found the missing item(s) more easily. Most are hidden in plain sight, but a few blend into the background for more challenge. The mini games are also plentiful and way different from any others I have played over the years. They are refreshingly original, if a bit on the easy side. I had to use the walkthrough twice for a couple of puzzles that I am not strong at solving when I ran out of patience. I am not a big fan of fitting pieces together like a tangram or doing math puzzles. The story line was outstanding and I got caught up in the mystery right away. This is a great game, relaxing, and fun. I need to find more by this maker. Hope you try it and enjoy it as much as I did. Also, even though this is an SE you get a bonus of being able to go back to all the HOG scenes and look for ALL the HO's. Show less

I recommend this game!

This, in my opinion, reminds me of Dr. Lynch: Grave Secrets and a little like Unlikely Suspects and Mystery Stories: Berlin Nights and Letter From Nowhere series. All of which I have purchased and enjoyed. They are all old school games which are basically back to back HOS, with lots of detail in the HOS, similar graphics, imaginative relaxing scenes and good atmosphere in regard to environmental sound effects.
There are twelve chapters in this game, usually consisting of three scenes or so each.
There was one little thing. Puzzles/mini games are usually easy to skip but I skipped a puzzle in the library. It was a book puzzle and you had to arrange the books in order to make a picture. I think that was around Chapter Six. The game froze so I began it again. Second time round, I solved the puzzle manually, instead of skipping it and this seemed to solve the problem and I was able to progress in the game.
Not sure if it makes any difference but I found it is best to find all the objects in the scene before doing the puzzle. No evidence for this, but it was one of the tactics I used when playing it again. Some of the old games need to be played in a certain linear order and if you don't, it scrambles their brain. Not ideal but that's how some of them worked at the time. We've progressed since then, so they say. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game is one that's been in my collection for a while, but just getting around to reviewing it having played it through again. I've played it four or five times even knowing the ending, but that's a testament to how fun it is.

Your character is an expert on ancient documents who is called upon by her boss to investigate a letter. This naturally leads to much more than it seems. The game is well done in just about all areas. Characters look and sound good, cartoon cutscenes show off the more dramatic moments, and hidden object search scenes are plentiful and detailed.

What I really enjoy most about this game is the storyline, which is Da Vinci Code-esque, naturally, but exciting and fun. Once you've completed the game you can go back and find all the items in each of the scenes, which is a nice touch. Just long enough with a couple of twists and a couple of scientific minigames that add to the nature of the main character.

Short and sweet, it's a joy to play and you will be entertained. Highly recommended. Show less

Re-playing my games, and this older one gets high marks from me because of the story line and the great hos. Puzzles are fine, not very hard, but interesting. The one in the janitor's closet is a little frustrating, but otherwise, I liked this game very much.

I recommend this game!

This was the first HO involving a missing-person mystery that I'd tried. Enjoyed the story, loved the musical accompaniment.

I really enjoyed this game....a little break from the creepy, dark HOGs I'm used to playing. I'm a big history buff so any game that's connected with some form of history is a big plus for me.
