Cutscene already holds you: a group of furious dogs attack a man who falls off a cliff!
Game very well developed, great story with good following, very good sound and VO, excellent crisp graphics, appealing characters (as Pippa, the cute little dog, and its owners, two children ... and the interesting furious dogs), very appropriate atmosphere and gorgeous locations. The only place that I did not like was the cave with snakes ... arghhh! I hate snakes ... and there has a lot! Reminded me the movie Indiana Jones!
Interactive HOS, with good visibility, entertaining mini games although some are already well known.
Three play modes. It has a journal and a map. The map takes you straight to the place you want, just clicking on it.
One thing I loved is that, different from other games, you can hold an object and click on the place or thing that you will use it ... it does not "fall back" in your inventory to be picked up again!!
The game itself is not challenging, as well as HOS and mini games are not difficult, but it is an excellent entertainment and provides plenty of fun.
I chose to buy the CE for having SG and Bonus play!

Well now! Not exactly what I was expecting! For those that state we get the same ole story line, try this! No grave yards, no witches, no skulls, and well, yes you do have snakes (fear not, it’s only in one scene). For those of us that love a good story line, here ya go, it’s very unique and I believe I can safely say there’s not been one like it….

Well now! Not exactly what I was expecting! For those that state we get the same ole story line, try this! No grave yards, no witches, no skulls, and well, yes you do have snakes (fear not, it’s only in one scene). For those of us that love a good story line, here ya go, it’s very unique and I believe I can safely say there’s not been one like it….
•Play options-there are 3, I played in advanced (middle) and had NO sparkles. Wide screen DID fill my 15" laptop screen (thank you!)
•Hint button in advanced seem to take a good 4 minutes or longer (didn’t time, just felt like that).
•Graphics, the scenery is very good except the people and dogs could have been better.
•There is voice over throughout the game, performed better than most.
•Music is on a loop, it’s ok and you really don’t notice as you are so busy searching and reading, yes there is some text, not much buy you will want to read so you know what is going on in the story.
•HO-full but not cluttered or junky. There are not a lot of HO. Items are well hidden but not impossible to find.
•Puzzles-not really a lot. HO and Puzzles are fairly balanced. Nothing new, but ones that you rarely see.
•You get your handy dandy journal that reminds you of what you’ve found out and items you’ve gotten
•Inventory-there is one particular item that you carry quite a long time, most are used within an acceptable amount of time, not necessarily immediately.
•There is a map that will teleport you, and you will be doing a little backtracking (not excessive).
•Storyline is very captivating, you will not really get the full grasp of *why* until mid-way through.
It is a not a short game, took me about 6 hours altogether, I read everything, did not skip games and just enjoyed the scenery (I love to search an area for things to do). Game play is fluid, I did not get stuck until the end when I had to use the hint button more than several times (that’s how I know it took so long to fill), that could just be because I stopped overnight and lost track of what it was I was going to do/go.
The demo does not give you a chance to find out the storyline it’s just a jumpstart into the game, but it does give you a sense of how the game plays and flows. I would say more adventure than HO. Show less

As gameplay begins, children are playing outside in the snow and I am screaming at them to get inside as there is a pack of violent dogs out there somewhere. Oh, boy! Seems to me that when a game's story line is that intense along with awesome graphics, I want it, so,maybe I'll read the CE reviews a little more and decide rather than jump on the SE too fast. Either way, this game is a purchase!
Enjoy! -Mama Mia- Show less

I just finished the game and thoroughly enjoyed it! The dog needing help just drew me in and the story line was very well developed from beginning to end. The graphics were absolutely beautiful and I really took my time appreciating the scenes, almost all of which had some animation, adding to the atmosphere. The cut scenes were very well done, as was the voice acting. There were a surprising number of different areas, some of which were very unusual. The puzzles were quite unique and numerous and I found many rather challenging. The HO scenes were beautifully rendered and had some interactive elements. There were some items that were difficult to find in shadows so I just used the hint. A couple times, I had to click around in the vicinity before the object was registered - a complaint others had but I didn't find overly bothersome. I consulted a walkthrough on one puzzle, being brain-dead and building the item backwards. Which reminds me that there were quite a few things to build from several objects which really added to the dimension of the game and expanded into the Adventure realm (especially seeing as I'm not that fond of HO scenes). After playing leisurely for about 10 hours, the last hour became more difficult because there were fewer inventory items but a lot of areas to figure out where to use them. That's where the hints became invaluable and useful to just "clear" which areas could be dismissed. The map made it easy to hop to different areas and I didn't feel any need for a strategy guide. All in all, I found this to be a first-rate game with a great story, great game play and atmosphere and I highly recommend it. I can't wait for a sequel! Show less

First of all, the graphics are wonderful and the story is original, focusing on our canine friends. Those are good reasons to try it. The HOS are clear, fairly easy and not your typical junk pile. There are more HOS than the, average but fun, puzzles yet they are not over done. Gameplay is mostly smooth and logical. A travel map is provided but it does not show active tasks. However, it does give you a good view of each scene so you can recognize if you need to go there. The hint button is also helpful with navigation. This game was really great fun from beginning to end. Show less

The file is sorta big and I know the collector addition is even bigger and will not even play on my computer. I think I need to find a way to own this one.

Interesting storyline. Various scenery. Relaxing and fun to play. Music went along with gameplay. I would get caught up in one area and forget there were many other plays to explore. I also got caught up in the storyline. The puzzles were not overly challenging. Again, I really nice break from some of the other games. I enjoyed the game play and I hope for a sequel.
