I would have changed my career ages ago! I really enjoyed this game because it was mostly HOs! The story line was not great but the Hidden Object Scenes were and the fact that the game was mostly Hidden Object scenes with and occasional puzzle thrown in was a bonus for me. I wish more games were like it. I found the video game to play pretty fun, saving the people from a burning building. If you click the question mark when you are done playing the game then you get the hidden object scenes mirrored to play and I couldn't believe how hard that was, looking at everything "backwards", a nice twist. I can see I'm in the minority here but so be it. Big Fish let's you try before you buy so give it a try and see what you think. Show less

A woman named Lisa Wang enters Alex's office to warn him that someone is going to kill him, and then quickly leaves with no other information. Alex was a former cop who opened up his own investigation office, so together with his partner Vinny, they follow Lisa to figure out who she is and why she has the information of an alleged murder plot. The problem with this game is that every room you search is only half lit and the items you search for are so small that they are unrecognizable. If they would have simply made the rooms brighter and only had you searching for normal sized items, this game would have been great. One of the items to search for was a paperclip! There were a few words spelled incorrectly which I find unacceptable, pay someone 5 bucks to proofread, I'd do it. There were mini games as well such as sorting film reels into alphabetical order. This game had good quality trailers and cut scenes, had an interesting storyline and interesting characters, it's only real fault or downfall was the almost impossible to find small dimly lit list finds.

I don't recommend this game.

It really is a little taxing playing this. Good HOS, but don't like the story premise, it isn't exciting in any way.
Boring.

This game is very boring. The objects are hard to see in spots because it is so dark. Did not hold my interest I was only 36 minutes into the demo when I realized this.

The translation was terrible, but that seems to be a theme with foreign made games on big fish. What absolutely infuriated me, however, was the fact that it seems like no one play tested this. There are about half a dozen times where I had to find an object that was mis-labeled. A broom instead of a mop, or a key instead of a wrench. C'mon, I expected better than this.

I can't believe how short it was and what a depressing non-ending for what seemed like it was going to be a very interesting storyline.

Love the fact that "as a joke" the main character got his skull caved in with a baseball bat. Show less

Horrible games. Not only was it boring but the game seem to have so many technical problems game up after 10 minutes, I would be done with the hidden objects in that scene but it wouldn't back out into the next scene it would just sit there. If would give me hints on objects i had already found.
Save your money!
