If like me you get lost in more complicated HO adventures but like to have some interactive challenge rather than pure HO - try this. The game is split into separate areas rather than making you go back and forth over one huge map, objects can be small and tricky to find but the hint refill isn't too long. There is a good walkthrough which I needed sometimes. All in all a favourite game which I ...Show more

i really liked this game. the graphics were wonderful. very visible and you could see what you needed. it was mainly light where a lot of these games tend to be on the darker side. it is a shorter game but still i really liked it. it was a good change of pace from the darker ones i have been playing. the hint button recharged fast and the skips were a little different. i think you will like ...Show more

I'm having such fun going back and playing games that were _really_ HOG's before they got all fancy. They don't, in general have a lot of bells and whistles, but they are great fun!

I'm having such fun going back and playing games that were _really_ HOG's before they got all fancy. They don't, in general have a lot of bells and whistles, but they are great fun!

Skymist is the tongue in cheek story of a blissful perfect magical world, suddenly bereft of it's magic and what resembles a rusty forsaken mall more than a magical pretty kingdom. Because, unfortunately there is a bad apple, but at first it's hard to tell who it is.

First there's this Princess, totally self involved and is 21 and Gasp!! not married! Then there's the Prince, possibly more self involved and mentally challenged than the Princess, hanging around and calling you names: Poltroon!, Varlet! Filthy peasant! Aaargh, Bad person!!!!

The puzzles are great, there is little hand holding, but a journal to give you hints, and you just fumble around until you figure it out, which in my case wasn't too hard, though I got stumped a few times, for a bit. Hints only in the HOS, which I needed a couple of times. Well done junk piles!:)

But I was so proud when I finished the game and only skipped one or two puzzles, that were either totally frustrating or just time wasters.

Anyway, you HOG lovers need to get this one. And it's SE so you can get it with a free credit! Win Win! Show less

I recommend this game!

This in an Interactive Hidden Object game from Mutant Games; please don’t be put off by the cartoonish graphics, the scenes are clean & sharp & the artwork is simply lovely. There are no voiceovers & the dialogue is skippable but the responses (which come from you as the characters ‘interact’ with you) in parts of the game are hilarious.

This in an Interactive Hidden Object game from Mutant Games; please don’t be put off by the cartoonish graphics, the scenes are clean & sharp & the artwork is simply lovely. There are no voiceovers & the dialogue is skippable but the responses (which come from you as the characters ‘interact’ with you) in parts of the game are hilarious.

A princess is getting ready for her birthday party & she asks you to help but what you do causes all the prettiness to disappear & Skymist turns into a darker, dreary world & it’s your job to put it right. The H0 scenes are well laid out; some things will go into your inventory as you need them for a task.

The hint recharges at around 30 seconds & there is a mis-click penalty but you have to really go some for it to kick in. You get a journal which is very useful as it contains tips on what to do next; indeed sometimes it tells you exactly what to do next. However being partly adventure there will be times when you have to give some thought about what to do; for instance combining inventory items.

This is a beautiful game that won’t tax you too much but does need some thinking about occasionally. Show less

I like the 3D computer graphics of the game and scenes and the fact that the HOS include special tasks you have to accomplish to solve each scene. Although it is not difficult it makes it more interesting. I also like the story line. A fun suggestion, give multiple choice answers in the dialogue so a player can control the direction the game goes in based on the answer given. Or even if the game ...Show more

Although it is not difficult it makes it more interesting. I also like the story line. A fun suggestion, give multiple choice answers in the dialogue so a player can control the direction the game goes in based on the answer given. Or even if the game goes the same way, having 2 choices of "reply" - like one funny and one serious - or one mean and one nice - or one dumb and one smart- would make it more unique and entertaining.

this is a delighful story. You feel like you became a child again and putting in your adult knowledge you will be able to save the day. Visuals are good, story line old and tried - but not too bad - well, if you are ready for an adventure and feeling good about it - go for it.

I really enjoyed the storyline, as well as the way the game put the player in the game. I wasn't a huge fan of the CGI look of the scenes, but it looks fine. The cartoonish characters were well drawn, and I liked the interactions between them and the character.
