This type of game is why I like the HOGS so much. Just a fun game, good pictures and back to basic attitude! If you like a relaxing game this is for you. No gore and blood and guts. LOL
I hope they make another one!

I recommend this game!

I really enjoy this game, probably because I am a straight HOG fan. It's good have a game that keeps my old remaining brain cells active without giving me nightmares.

I recommend this game!

Mary, and investigative journalist, has to save her friends wedding by unearthing a callous thief who stole valuable artifacts which were to be her inheritance. This is a very easy going, basic, down to earth and simple game which does not not tax the old grey cells a great deal. There are no voice overs and there is not excessive dialogue either as you traverse the scenes and uncover a good and feasable story line. The graphics are clear, well defined and colourful. The puzzles and mini games are intriguing some challenging others unique and ingenious and all a pleasure to play. The hidden objects are very reasonable to find but a couple take a little more effort. It was a pleasure to play this game and left me in a vey relaxed mood looking for something similar. A good change from the high adventure and deep puzzle games. Show less

I recommend this game!

I bought this game as the Daily Deal, and I'm glad I did! I enjoyed the story and the HOG scenes relay the story in many varied locactions. A simple, beautiful and stress free game. I really enjoyed it.

I recommend this game!

A simple game that anyone can enjoy but not that difficult.
You are a detective and you need to help solve a robbery that happend to your girlfriends (Lora's) inheritance. So you are on a mission to explore, search for clues, and solve puzzles.
If you enjoy simple HOS, easy puzzles, and putting things together (with plenty of help along the way) then you will be glad you selected this game.

V/O's - no voice overs only text

Options - Casual & Normal, casual offers quicker hints and sparkle is active, on normal you can opt to remove those sparkles

HOS - clear, bright and not only a list of HO to find but a countdown of how many left to find, which I believe is only useful in spotting the difference

Clicking - yes penality for fast clicking

Music - nice and laid back

Assistance - when investigating you have a notebook which opens and further assistance in what to look for and how to complete the puzzle.
Also, it shows a grab hand on objects you need to collect.

I would recommend to purchase this for beginners or HOS lovers either wanting to get to the next step from HOS to investigations or just a simple relaxing game that won't frustrate you!

Purchase this on special and you have a nice relaxing game for those wet boring days.

I give this one my ((Raww)) of approval Show less

I recommend this game!

If you are looking for a very linear, beautiful, girly type HOG, that is easy, relaxing, and has lots of simple, doable puzzles, this is for you! I demoed this game, and decided to purchase it for the DD.

The graphics are ok, but a bit outdated. There is quite a bit to read, as there are no voice overs. The storyline is interesting, as you are the maid of honor, and have to collect the bride's ...Show more

If you are looking for a very linear, beautiful, girly type HOG, that is easy, relaxing, and has lots of simple, doable puzzles, this is for you! I demoed this game, and decided to purchase it for the DD.

The graphics are ok, but a bit outdated. There is quite a bit to read, as there are no voice overs. The storyline is interesting, as you are the maid of honor, and have to collect the bride's (your best friend's) stolen inheritance, to put back into the collection, which you can view at any time. There is no roaming around exploring. The HOS are beautiful, but a few of the HO are small/blended into the scene. The music is a beautiful piano melody, and unobtrusive.

This is a great game for beginners, all the way to experienced gamers who like a nice, easy, not gory, beautiful little game for a change. Show less

I recommend this game!

I have to admit that I rather enjoyed this game because it made me feel that I was truly involved in each scenario.

Not only does this game have hidden object scenes but it also consists of returning stolen objects to their rightful places and it provides common sense, interactive procedures allowing advancement to the next step to catch the thief.

I recommend this game!

The hidden object scenes are routine but at least you can find the items. There is also a special treasure item to be found in most scenes. There are a variety of scenes and you only play a couple locations twice. What makes this game special are the variety of mini games throughout the game. There is a unique one for each chapter. The mystery story line is well developed and keeps you guessing ...Show more

Very easy HOG game, straight and to the point. Easy to find objects, graphics are nice and clear, very easy puzzles. Option for hints and skip button but you probably won't need to use them. It was a good game for the DD, nothing especially exciting but a good basic HOG.

I recommend this game!
