Sometimes I want a game to play that does not have all the whistles and bells of a CE. This game with graphic novel visuals has been enjoyable to play. The storyline is good and the graphic novel art work is outstanding. The game play is basically finding the various parts of an element to unlock something like a door, cut something etc. With this SE you get an interact map to jump to locations. ...Show more

You also have a skip options for completing puzzles. The puzzles are not your usual. I'm enjoying the game! Show less

Oh, I know, this Hidden Object Game might be a little too simple for many experienced players, but I really liked it a lot. It was fun to search for and find objects and to fill them in so a certain object could be used. Besides, the graphics were good and the story interesting enough.

Five stars. Just what I needed at this busy moment in my life!

Thanks developers, thanks BF!

I recommend this game!

Play the role of Emily, a girl who’s unable to remember anything from her youth. A discovery awakens her vague memories. Emily travels to the mysterious town of Riverside to search for her past. Search for hidden objects in a unique way to unravel the abandoned town's secrets. Your objective is to save your love and avert the catastrophe facing the doomed town in Riddles of the Past. Defeat a madman along your journey. There are inventive mini-games obstructing your search for the depths of your memories and a new take on the way you find inventory items (hidden objects). This adventure has everything I could want from a STANDARD EDITION. It's worth using a free credit on...demo for yourself to see if you like it. I think most fishies will like this one. Thank you Bigfish. xox's Show less

I did not expect to like this game. It is an old school FROG with some comic-book style scenes. However, I got hooked in the demo and used a free game credit to buy it. I found the game play to be easy with a map you can use to jump around and find active zones. There was even the obligatory twist and hint of things to come at the end.

The Riverside citizens have lost their memories! Oh, no! Emily must save them! Robots are all over the area! What a to do and what a great SE game! I just finished it and I'm wondering if there will be a sequel!

At first I wasn't too keen on the bubble search popups but as the game rolled on I noticed that the tasks from these searches were quick and well-thought out by these developers. and I had the most fun in completing them, too. Good map and hint button; a bubble head dog was at the bottom right of your screen most likely for show. Cute though.

The flow of this game was amazing..You had to go back to an area perhaps no more than twice, three times but once done, you moved on.

I loved the strategy, the attention to every detail on this game. The artwork was good for this genre and the music was subtle, the sounds were cool, and the voice actors were wonderful, although the mouths on the characters kept on going even after the dialogue was done. Some of the published text had some grammatical errors but because of the great storyline and the unusual and ingenious mini-games, I had the time of my life playing this game. I'm giving it a low-five star rating.

I'm not a math person but I managed to figure out a code in one of the mini-games that, to me, was rather perplexing, but I finally did it, and thank goodness I wasn't being timed!

An awesome and different game, which I completely enjoyed playing. I highly recommend it. Bravo MysteryTag and FarMills devs! Just make sure to edit the text and dialogue material beforehand. Show less

I recommend this game!

I like everything about this game. The music is pretty without being obtrusive, the graphics are some of my favorites since they remind me of a late summer day in my memories of growing up in Southern California and the puzzles are unique and fun without being frustratingly difficult. One of the best non-CE standard edition games I've played recently.

I recommend this game!

I purchased this game immediately even before I completed the demo, and I don't do this normally. But something about this game drew me in, and I HAD to have it (PUZZLING indeed). It doesn't have the typical feel of most of the games on Big Fish, but with that said, check it out for yourself.
