Not sure why so many negative reviews. I'm very much enjoying this game. A little different - in a good way.
It was a buy for me.
A must try.

I'm not usually in favor of games that are just hidden object pictures. But Grandma has done the miracle of making a game with super nice graphics, an interesting story that goes from one picture to the next like a guide. there is only one small criticism: the voices of the characters sound very bored, there should be more emotion here.

This is the second game in the series City of Stories that I purchased. The first was Stephan's Journey. This one is even better than the first. Hopefully there will be more to come from the creators of these two games.

GrandMA Studios delivers! This HOG is up to the standards of a HOPA and there's so much to explore and do in this. It's beautiful, the soundtrack is great and I love the theme of a girl as a scientist!
Plenty of puzzles that are just a the right level for me. Thanks GrandMA studios!
I recommend this game!

finding this game tucked away in the Recent Releases and seeing July 20 as the release date! I really don't recall that it was featured on the Home Page first. Maybe I'm wrong! Do you remember it? I thought this game was promoted to appear as "Thursday's Special Release".
My point is that I frequently spot new games in this way and, imo, it's very unfair to the developer not getting the New Game exposure on the Main Page, that is due and expected by both the dev and the gamer. Unless familiar with this "sneaky" practice, who would think to check out Recent Releases for the Early Access game? It has not even one review!
So, I played the demo for "The Professor's Secret" and enjoyed it very much. "City of Stories", though a fairly new series, is proving to be full of activities and lots of fun. The graphics are good and the story is an easy read for me. The first game, with Stephan, was great and it was a long game, so I'm expecting as much with this one. Hopefully, it won't disappoint.

I had fun playing this game. Cute storyline. Nice graphics. Game play level was fine. First game in a while where I haven't skipped the mini-games....and I am not a fan of mini-games in HO games.
There were a couple of HO sparkling scenes that I had a problem with. I would find everything on the list but the scene wouldn't close out/finish. I clicked on 'hint" and it showed another item that ...Show more

There were a couple of HO sparkling scenes that I had a problem with. I would find everything on the list but the scene wouldn't close out/finish. I clicked on 'hint" and it showed another item that was not on the list 🤷🏻‍♀️
My biggest complaint was the character conversations....their accents were unrealistic for the time period the game is based on. I deducted a star based on the lack of an accent. Otherwise I thought it was a great game. Show less
