….. the Barbie doll. Who throughout the game has to be dressed up in well over 10 outfits and has to complete a task. She was totally unnecessary and mind numbing, but I got over that after remembering that I used to behead my older and younger sisters’ Barbie dolls and baby dolls as I was a tomboy aged 7 at the time, but 50 years later I can still see and laugh at their horrified faces!

….. the Barbie doll. Who throughout the game has to be dressed up in well over 10 outfits and has to complete a task. She was totally unnecessary and mind numbing, but I got over that after remembering that I used to behead my older and younger sisters’ Barbie dolls and baby dolls as I was a tomboy aged 7 at the time, but 50 years later I can still see and laugh at their horrified faces!

I am not adverse to Helpers, for example we could paint a squirrel with our magic palette and it came to life to do a task we couldn’t, and then shortly after that we painted a dragon that lit up a dark scene when we couldn’t, so I think the devs should have stuck with that theme rather than the Barbie doll.

The graphics were good, the voices/lip synch also, except for the woman in the first “essence collection” chapter, as it looked like she had teeth that were merged together, no gaps and nothing to indicate they were individual teeth.

Collectibles are Olives and Coins, and even though I have completed the game I am not sure what to do with the olives. The game says I can use them for the Interface Shop and apparently you can use the coins for decorating your Boudoir. After having a look at the Boudoir I did want to run a mile away from it as it was so tacky.

Length: 7 Chapters plus the Bonus but not a stand alone game, more like an addition to the game after Owen has decided to be a nice guy.

Levels: Easy to Custom.

Hints/Skips 15 seconds to 90 seconds.

HOS: During the demo they were all the same (silhouettes) but after that they changed to lists or pictures and I enjoyed them. You can play Match 3 instead.

Mini Games/Puzzles became more difficult, I have to admit I skipped a few of them as I couldn’t work them out which is unusual for me.

Achievements: At least over 20.

I do recommend this game as I had a fun day with it, but also I do understand why it has been given a bad rating, aka the Barbie doll. I think these devs should pour more excitement (and no dolls) into their demos because that’s the “make or break” deal! And they should research what a Harlequin really is as it is definitely not a dress-up Barbie doll.

It’s a Marmite game as you either love it or you hate it! Show less

While I generally don't like "helpers" in the game, this one is not too bad. The usage is quick, you don't have time to go make a sandwich each time the helper is needed. Overall it's a great slow down / easy play game. Sometimes that's just what you want!!

I recommend this game!

This game is a bit quirky, but I like it anyway. It doesn't take a lot of thought, and sometimes easy fun is OK.

You are a detective who is sent on an agency test to find the three essences of the arts patron Calliope who has gone off the deep end. Every time you see her, she wreaks havoc -- destroying statues, setting fires, releasing snakes. Not to worry, though. You have a Harlequin doll, who ...Show more

This game is a bit quirky, but I like it anyway. It doesn't take a lot of thought, and sometimes easy fun is OK.

You are a detective who is sent on an agency test to find the three essences of the arts patron Calliope who has gone off the deep end. Every time you see her, she wreaks havoc -- destroying statues, setting fires, releasing snakes. Not to worry, though. You have a Harlequin doll, who dons different outfits you find and can fix things, or charm snakes, or whatever. You also get a magic paint palette that brings pictures to life -- a marmet, a dragon, and others. These critters also help you out, reaching areas you cannot.

I like the HOS as well. You find silhouettes that complete parts of the scene. Or you find pieces that are mentioned in a story.

I also like the coins you find that allow you to spruce up your user interface. Plus you find olive branches that let you decorate your boudoir. I like this type of CE bling. You also get to see a picture of Harlequin in each of her 14 outfits.

The demo was a bit short, but enough for me to decide I like this game. Try it yourself and see! Show less

I don't comment much on the storylines until I actually go through a whole game, but this one seems fresh!..Have seen some people not like the little "doll" helper feature, but thought it was really cute and added just a little extra to the great graphics of this game...HO's are good, not too hard...Puzzles are different and tried hint button which worked well..All in all a really good game!

I recommend this game!

Engaging from the start. An interesting storyline and something new, a helper that you upgrade as you progress throughout the game. Bonuses, find coins and olives to upgrade your scenes. A must buy for me and with the 60% off, I can't go wrong.

I recommend this game!

The Artists seeking inspiration have their patron muse Calliope. She is missing and they need our help.

This game came out in June 2015 and is second in this series. The hops are plentiful and most are interactive. The puzzles are relaxed and are the one's I liked.

The extras are collecting olives with leaves to spend on furnishing your Boudoir. Finding coins in vases to buy Interface to decorate your tool bar. 5 music, 11 concept art and 20 wallpaper. Since some hops are lovely and the mini-puzzles are to my liking. I would have like to have replays. No replays on hops or mini-puzzles. This was disappointing.

This series started out with a small doll to do your bidding. This game changed Harlequin to a Barbie like doll where the first one was more of a invention. It wasn't so bad until you see a picture with a actual doll that wasn't so good. If they drew her picture, it would of been better.

I liked the throwbacks to other Domini games. I didn't mind using things to further my tasks. Magical palette, enchanted tuning fork and mystical notebook. They were by the hints and you pick them up when you want to use them. In the bonus chapter you have to power up the medallion with music. Picking it up to get the music and then picking up the medallion and use it on things.

I would recommend this game only for those who like the things I mentioned. I had fun. Show less

I recommend this game!

I like the story which first seemed so simple and then gets a twist, when you don't know, whom to trust anymore. I like the graphics, which are very colourful, i love the idea that you paint something with colour and it becomes real (wished I could use this tool in my world!!!), I love the collectibles, I do even like the music - there is nothing i don't like in this game to tell the truth. Oh, and i especially like the inventive idea of how to make the HO-scenes very enertaining like you have to collect coins and use the telefon, really cute!!! - Yes, this is my kind of game, i just love it:-) Show less
