I just finished playing this game. It had so much to offer, not your average hidden object game by far. I loved the panning idea, up and down or back and forth. Great stuff. The story line as great and the graphics WONDERFUL. I even loved the music. This is truly a treasure for those who loved the genre. An awesome one to buy.

I recommend this game!

I just bought the game recently and loved it very much. The challenges and tasks on some occasions really got you thinking. The visuals were excellent and the music good. Only problems, the game was a bit short. Could have gone on a bit longer and made it a challenge to get the family back home. Hope there a second one on its way

I recommend this game!

The graphics are beautiful, bright, colorful, clear and imaginative. Every scene was a feast for the eyes.

The only sound I kept on was the voiceovers and I'm glad I did. They were wonderful, spot on with the characters. They added so much depth and enjoyment to the game.

Miranda and Sproket are off to find Miranda's parents, presumed dead. In the process they find a hidden world controlled by an obsidian machine. The machine controls everything in the hidden world, including longevity. One day in the inner world equals 2 weeks in the outside. Of course the villains want to capture this source of longevity which would destroy the machine and the inner world.

HOS are complex and challenging. There are two types of HOS hints, one that shows a picture of the item you are seeking and one that takes you right to the item. There is also a game play hint button, but it really wasn't that helpful and took a long time to recharge.

The puzzles are innovative and some are pretty hard. You cannot skip any of the puzzles. BF has a walkthrough and I used it alot.

This game is much better than the first one, and I hope more are in the works. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game was amazing and definitely one-of-a-kind.

This game was amazing and definitely one-of-a-kind.
It is 1891 and you are investigating the disappearance of your parental units with the help of Sprocket - your adorable clockwork companion. He has some very interesting features including an Object Locator, Progressive Hint(which gives you a nudge instead of the solution) and an Object Database showing you an image of the object that you need to locate. The objects were all true to the time period and historically accurate.

The map gives instant clickable locations so no traveling between scenes. It also gives icons for HOS,Puzzles and Interactions to Perform. The scenes are beautiful and have amazing depth...I'm not even sure how to say that correctly. Some of the objects are BAM in your face and others are flat against a distant wall. The scenes that I encountered were either scrollable or zoomable which was also something that I've never seen before.

The artwork is beautiful. I usually don't enjoy non-moving cartoonish graphics were these were an exception. The voice-overs are wonderful and Sprocket's noises were adorable.

I bought this ahead of other games on my wish list. I liked it that much. :) Show less

I recommend this game!

I played this a long time ago. Noticed it today and had to play again. It was as much fun as it was the first time. There a few "Clockwork" games. Each is fun to play.

Based on entire game.

Several scenes (including HO scenes) were either zoomable or scrollable.
No clicking penalty - yeah!
HO scenes: nicely sized and not overly cluttered.
Puzzles: very challenging.
Map: allows you to jump to any scene on the map (it was in fact the only way to get to a new scene).
Journal: needed because solutions to some puzzles are recorded here.
Graphics: not spectacular, ...Show more

Journal: needed because solutions to some puzzles are recorded here.
Graphics: not spectacular, but they were clear. Sprocket was cute (reminded me R2D2).
Story: When I reached the anticlimactic point, I wondered if I missed something during the play. I still had a squirrel in inventory. Storyline made sense for this type of game. Show less

I recommend you to play the first game (The Clockwork Man) for a better understanding of the story.

A good innovation for this hidden object: movables scenes which create a 3D effect. This increases the level of difficulty and allow to enrich the game. The story is well built and interesting. The central figure Miranda and his small robot are charming.

The graphics are beautiful, the music well adapted and voices are great. The map is very useful (click and go). The movies are accessible in the menu (always useful!). The puzzles are a bit more difficult at the end of the game.

Note : check the credits and you will see the production team ;-) Show less

Really enjoyed the first one & there are vast improvements in this sequal! Hidden Object scenes aren't so difficult you tear your hair out & that's a major plus! This game is heavy on story & has a great theme/moral - but if you don't enjoy taking your time and really following your journal and all the diologues - this may not be your cup of tea.

Stunning graphics and puzzles are unique and challenging. Great "cast of characters" and for me a perfect blend of story, Hidden Object scenes, tasks and puzzles. Both this and the prequel really stand out in their uniqueness in a "sea" of games! Enjoy! Show less

It was a very interesting story and the graphics were extremely unique but fairly "old school", and I loved them. The music was great and not repetitive. The HOS were very well done. I did not get the first game as many said it was too short. I did not find this one to be so. It seemed a good length, the hint button was fairly good, and I only needed the walkthrough once for the moon puzzle, although the puzzles at the end were very difficult for me, the hint button finally solved the ones I could not. I did not think the game ended abruptly, but the story was completed fine. I guess the person who thought he ended up with a squirrel still in his inventory did not pay attention to the last scene. A different sort of game and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Show less
