I that this was an excellent game. Having more than one story makes it that much better. First story was good but I liked the other two with the bonus game in the middle.
One goes through the game looking for clues to help solve the game. Most are easy to find and use. There was a couple I had to use the hint button.

I that this was an excellent game. Having more than one story makes it that much better. First story was good but I liked the other two with the bonus game in the middle.

The game was a lot longer than what other new games it seems to me..Good money value .
The bonus game was very good but that really is the only bonus feature it had. I did find all of the collector items so that might be why no extra bonus.
Try the free part if you like it the rest will be enjoyed. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game goes on forever. Be sure to play in the mode where you can set skip and hints to lowest levels. My only complaint is that there were a lot of games I had to skip.

No specific category like fun, visual quality, level of challenge or storyline by itself seems like it would add up to 5 stars, but this game did. Everything just worked together well. Highly recommend it for a casual, relaxed game play with a fairly easy challenge level. I'm an experienced player so I normally don't enjoy an easier game, but this one was definitely worth my while! :-)

I recommend this game!

Detectives! Prepare to enjoy another detective game from one of the best game developers for HOPA games, DO Games. Play a seasoned detective, who, along with a young apprentice detective, investigates a series of murders. This is a very long game. There are four (4) chapters plus a bonus chapter. Each chapter is as long as some games on BFG. I enjoy playing games such as this one because those breaks within the game make it easier to quit and not forget what happened previously when you return to the game. DO Games always provides more gaming pleasure for the money and for the length of the game, it is a steal at the collector’s price.

From the first two chapters I have played, it appears that each chapter is dedicated to a new murder case. The first chapter deals with an evildoer who is trying to escape punishment for a lifetime of crimes. The second case deals with the murders of members of the occult, an exorcist, and a fortune teller. Are the two chapters connected? At this point I am uncertain; however, I am looking forward to completing the entire game to find out.

The format is the same as the other games within this series. Chapters are identified as the player progresses through the game. The collectibles are morphing newspaper articles and flowerpots filled with a variety of flowers. I found most are easy to locate. Collect sixty-five (65) badges which can be exchanged for bouquets of flowers hidden within a boudoir. There are fifteen (15) wallpapers. I am enjoying playing a new story with each chapter. For me, it breaks up the monotony of such a long game. Throughout the game the player receives points. Stars and points are rewarded for choosing the correct choice between two actions or responses. The graphics are good; however, there are not as many scenes as in this developer’s earlier games. However, I am just happy to have a decent HOPA game to play. There are fewer and fewer of these being produced nowadays.

This game is a little more difficult than many other HOPA games. It is jam packed with puzzles and HOP scenes. Most of the puzzles are offered in both an easy and hard option. The HOP scenes are varied and as with their other games, DO Games has a wide variety of styles of HOP games. All the scenes are highly interactive. I found some of the items to be located a little difficult to find; however, for me, that is part of the fun of playing these games. This game is not boring. It will keep a player engaged with each new chapter.

MECHANICS:
• Four (4) levels of play including a customized version.
• 35 achievements.
• Collect 10 morphing newspaper clippings and 10 flowerpots.
• Collect 65 badges used to exchange for bouquets of flowers.
• Wallpapers along with concept art, music, and video sequences
• Replay 35 Mini-games and 32 HOP scenes.

SPOILERS: HERE ARE SOME OF THE MINI-GAMES FROM THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS:

A. E/H. Sequence puzzle. Adjust flags on a globe so that the position of each one matches the flag beneath it. Moving one flag up-and-down affects the others. The easy version has 5 flags; the hard version has 7 flags.
B. E/H. Match-3 puzzle. Match up 3 or more of your colored tokens before your nemesis fills up his grid. You each have tokens of 3 different colors. Tokens can connect either up, down, or diagonally.
C. E/H. Sequence puzzle. Using dials which move either 3 or 4 spaces – clockwise or counterclockwise – choose the correct key outlines for a set of keys. The easy version has 5 keys and the hard has 7.
D. E/H. Gear puzzle. Rotate gears with images on them so that chains connecting gears with each other have the same image appearing in both gears they connect. The easy version has 5 gears and the hard has 6.
E. E/H. Maze puzzle. Rotate a circular grid so that blue marbles end up on indicated slots. The easy version has one blue marble – the hard has two.
F. E/H. Connection puzzle. Create a maze for a mouse by rotating squares on a grid s until a path is formed. In the hard version, rotating one square affects the others.
G. E/H. Matching puzzle. Connect boot prints on a bog until all are connected. The hard version has more boots than the easy version. Show less

The game is about as good as we get these days, and at least there are no demons.

I did want to mention that the intro, which plays every time you start the game, includes a press conference scene with flashing lights that goes on for maybe 15 seconds. If you have a sensitivity to flashing lights, you might want to skip this game.

Hello, friends! As usual, I review mostly on the game play and leave the story to others to tell. Graphics are very well done in this game, minor blur. Game play was excellent, with no problems during the demo. Animation is excellent, with realistic body and facial movements. Colors are clear and bright, but not over powering. Voices were age and character appropriate, and we did have a fair amount of character interaction, which makes a game more realistic and engaging. You can click through the dialog without missing any clues or additional useful objects. We do have the occasional "choose the dialogue." Sound FX are well done when we have them, but background SFX are almost non-existent. Made the game move slower for some reason.

HOG's are very well done, with interactive lists, pairs and place the item. Items are not difficult to find and the scenes pretty clear. You can switch to a Match 3 game if you prefer. Puzzles are challenging for most of them, even on easy mode. Some take some time and real thought to complete. Hint system is helpful and we do have the transport feature for longer locations. Not a lot of back tracking, but enough to keep you moving. We do have a jump map, which does show you where a collectible is found, or missed.

Collectible are very well done. We have 10 morphing objects (newspaper clippings) that are large enough to spot without difficulty. We also have 10 flower pots that are fairly large and plenty easy to see. Of course, we have a room that we have to furnish with, yep, more flowers. In order to do this, we need to find 65 "badges" that look like coins to me. Quite easy to forget to pick them up.

This story is nothing new, but okay. You are constantly on the move, although the game moves quite slowly. There is enough challenge in the puzzles and collectibles to keep you going. I was surprised at how many errors there were in this game, e.g. detectives watch was upside down on his wrist (the knob is always on the opposite side) and when we used the coin to unscrew the plate on the fountain outside the skyscraper, it wound clockwise, which is tightening it up. Couple other minor things, but mistakes nonetheless. Not sure where this game was produced, maybe they do things differently than we do. The one thing that really got me, was when the detective was behind bars. He was cleared because he shot in self-defense...really? The old man had his hands up and no weapon. He pulled the trigger when the other guy tried to stop him from shooting the man outright. Did I miss something? Right now, I'm not too sure about this one. I will probably end up adding it to my collection, but I need to think on it a bit. I gave this one a 4.0 on my scale, which is a downgraded score, only because of the errors and the lack of background SFX.

As always, try it for yourself and see what you think. We all have different tastes in games and you may not care for this one at all. Play on! Show less

Most puzzles are so difficult to understand so skipped. Story is weird and disjointed. Hidden objects are strange - not enjoying at all
