I see others don't like all the puzzles, but that's the biggest draw for me. There can't be too many puzzles for me!!

I recommend this game!

I played the entire main game and some of the Bonus Chapter but the plot just isn't exciting and at times it's just downright boring. One feature in particular that I found annoying was that you had to pick up so many inventory items that all you're doing is constantly clicking arrows to scroll through the inventory items to find something you need or see if you have something usable.

This is a puzzle-heavy game and the HO scenes are rather on the dark side. The Collector's Edition version has a Morphing Object in each scene which converts to coins to allow you to restore sections of the Castle Entrance. The CE Bonus Chapter is about an evil entity that is accidentally released when Patrick, a young alchemist in training, performs a ritual in an attempt to heal his father Moruan. You play the role of Albert, Patrick's friend and one of Moruan's best alchemy students. There are 8 remaining Morphs in the CE BC, 13 Mini-Games and 5 HOP's remaining. Here is a recap of my review to help you decide which version, if either, is right for you:

The good detective has chosen to come out of retirement to work for "He who was killed but didn't die" after the discovering that a precious ancient artifact had been stolen. The Hourglass of Time wields tremendous power and is capable of stealing an individuals life, beat by beat. Fearing the temptation to immense for a single individual to guard, a Secret Order was formed (well it's not a secret now!) and the founding guards are now being controlled by the thief. Can you solve the riddles of the Keepers to catch the thief within?

Great concept, poor execution. The graphics are dark, dreary and void of color. The storyline could have been so much better had they not revealed the culprit by the third scene, and the tasks at hand were just plain boring. There was no sense of urgency and everything was predictable. There are spelling & grammar issues all over the place such as "I want became a Keeper" and the game froze up every time I tried to play the Match 3 barrel game. I ended up having to skip the puzzle which also means I'm unable to earn 2 of the achievements!

The Hidden Object Scenes have objects that are super easy to spot and there are a ton of Zoom Zone HO's. There are Interactive List finds, Keywords in Sentence finds Fragmented finds, Matching Pair finds, Silhouetted Shape finds. One of the HO scenes requires you to find the object that matches a circular tile swatch, some of the swatches in no way, shape, or form even came close to the actual object!

Mini-Games are puzzles rehashed from their previous games and are fairly easy to solve with uncomplicated instructions. Below is a brief description of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1-Push all tiles in, selecting 1 tile may affect other tiles.
2-Align the silhouetted shapes onto their matching grate sections.
3-Use directional arrows to locate 3 symbol sections shown as a clue.
4-Use directional arrows to locate & draw a line between 2 symbol sections.
5-Rotate ring sections to complete the rose image.
6-Navigate through the city streets to find a way out.
7-Drag a line of at least 3 matching colored barrels to remove all of them.
8-Find matching pairs of symbols on the statue.
9-Activate the symbols in the right order as shown on the clue.
10-Click puzzle sections to change them according to the clue.
11-Rote 3 key sections to match the key slot.
12-Select 2 tiles at a time to uncover matching images.
13-Place fragments onto their silhouetted shape slots.
14-Select 2 tiles to uncover images, tiles move w/ each wrong selection.
15-Swap books so their symbols combined match the center symbol.
16-Guide the latch through every point only once.

The Collector's Edition version has 9 Wallpapers, 16 Concept Art pictures, 7 Screensavers, 7 Movie Video Cutscenes, 4 Music Soundtracks, 12 re-playable Mini-Games, 10 re-playable Hidden Object Scenes, 18 Achievements to earn, 26 Morphing Objects (1 in each scene which converts to coins to restore the Castle entrance) 4 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a built-in Strategy Guide.

Boring, same old games, no challenge. Some of the worst voice acting I have ever heard. Save your money on this one.

I went with two stars on this review because I seem to have lost the thread of the story just before the lighthouse chapter and never found it again. Could be me but tasks did not make sense (a gear was called a button and there are other examples) and I felt as if the developer hurried up and finished the game without much thought. Really disappointing. Up to that point, the story was predictable ...Show more

In her review, Pennmom does a fine job of providing game specifics, and I agree with her assessment of the game, overall. My review is based upon completed play of the game. Show less

I have read that there are only six or seven possible narrative plots. Here we have yet another game with the same old, tired story: a relative has been kidnapped, trapped, spirited away, Imprisoned, suffering from some mystical enchantment, and YOU, detective, are the ONLY ONE who can possibly save him or her!

(And why is it the detective is always summoned by letter to come immediately, but ...Show more

(And why is it the detective is always summoned by letter to come immediately, but then must travel by stagecoach and solve at least one mini game and an HOS before gaining entrance to the house, which is always just a matter of seconds too late to stop whatever nefarious deeds are afoot?)

In this game, a banal story line is further ruined by too many stupid, annoying puzzles one right after another, too many cut scenes, too much silly, badly acted dialogue, too much you as the detective exclaiming every two minutes, "I have to save...!" whoever it is at the moment, except you keep having to stop and solve some HOS and yet another mini game at every turn.

If I wanted to play a game with the same old plot and the same old HOPS and mini games, I could draw from the dozens and dozens of older but better games in my inventory, and I often do. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
