Oh, my giddy Aunt! My friend has been kidnapped, AGAIN! What a shock. Actually, my friend has been kidnapped so many times, I think I'll let them keep him and buy a new one.

Great game though. I am only sorry it is just 3 hrs long. One more and I would have been well satisfied.

Oh, my giddy Aunt! My friend has been kidnapped, AGAIN! What a shock. Actually, my friend has been kidnapped so many times, I think I'll let them keep him and buy a new one.

Great game though. I am only sorry it is just 3 hrs long. One more and I would have been well satisfied.

The graphics are wide screen and very well done. All the colours are there and it is not raining, snowing, thundering or lightning. The town is very well laid out and it is easy to get around, as the game is not linear.

There is orchestral music, but also some soul, which I have not encountered before. Really liked that.

There are a fair number of HOS, but the objects are not miniscule and the scenes well lit. 2 mins tops, I think was the longest I had to spend on one. The puzzles are really easy so not going to appeal to those who like a challenge.

There is a very good jump map, with active locations highlighted. I see there is a WT, but I never had to use it. With such a helpful and quick hint button and the map, it was a breeze.

Navigation is perfecto.

A very good game from very good devs, who always deliver the goods. Well worth playing. Show less

I recommend this game!

Symist is not one of the more well known producers for BFG but I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It was crisp, clean and bright even though the story was of a darker genre. The hos were not overly cluttered and the items requested were not hidden in shadows, too small to see or disguised. I played on the casual level. The music was appropriate and not too annoying.

Symist is not one of the more well known producers for BFG but I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It was crisp, clean and bright even though the story was of a darker genre. The hos were not overly cluttered and the items requested were not hidden in shadows, too small to see or disguised. I played on the casual level. The music was appropriate and not too annoying. There were no voice overs and you needed to read what the characters were saying. The mini games were rather simple but still slid into the game easily. It was fast moving and though there were redo hos scenes, the items that you used were deleted from the hos. The hint button worked well, both in and out of the hos and if you were not sure where to go, the hint button guided you in the right direction without having to refill. The journal was not overly helpful but more of a first person narrative on feelings and emotions. There is a map which is helpful and can jump from place to place. There are no extras so to speak, but was a good fun game for a rainy Saturday morning. Show less

I recommend this game!

I like this game a lot.
Clear and good graphic's, storyline is okay and the overall play ability works for me. The music doesn't bother me and not too much info on screen which keeps you moving on.
The map is helpful as you can jump to locations.
Alawar seldom get it wrong for me, and this game will be added to my buy to list.

I recommend this game!

I loved this game!

The graphics were beautiful. I liked the little extras like the traffic going by in the background of the gas station scene. The game play was good. Most of the puzzles were easy to moderate in difficulty. The storyline was interesting and nicely done.

The ending was a bit abrupt though. I see this with a lot of games. Why do developers do that?!

really enjoyed it! I like it when a game takes you to other places, ie; first you're at the house, then you get in the car and go somewhere else and then you drop out of plane and land on an island......for example. this game did it for me. (2012)

I recommend this game!

Well, another great Alawar game! I couldn't wait til my hour was up so I could buy it. The graphics, sound, everything was good. It's a slightly different take on a story, but I would like to shake the person's hand that made it up. Keep up the good work, Alawar!

I recommend this game!

Wow, there is so much in this game for a SE! Only thing it needs is more puzzles. Lots of HOS scenes to play. There is a wonderfully creepy overtone to the whole game. The plot is interesting and keeps you playing. There are thankfully no voiceovers or human actors. Graphics are macabre with some humorous twists,but quite beautiful, love the mechanical birds and tree! There is even a map to move ...Show more

My title says it all for me: the game is fun to play. There is an IA map that works very well as do the in-game hints. The HOS are good and so are the puzzles. The story is good with a twist at the end.

I recommend this game!
