What an astounding game, beautiful pictures, colors and story. I did the hard puzzles,very challenging although like any puzzle the pieces match in interesting and unexpected ways. Although each puzzle is worked in the same way each furthers the journey and is well chosen to be unique. A true fun escape.

I love jigsaw puzzles, so this game fit right into my list of favorites. It is refreshingly different and I hope the developers choose to create more like it. I've played thru the game then the extra levels, which are just a bit different than the originals, enough to keep it interesting. I highly recommend this for jigsaw puzzle lovers.

I recommend this game!

The basic gameplay is sort of like a jigsaw puzzle; imagine a picture that is cut into a grid of small squares, then those squares are jumbled around. You swap those squares around until you form the original picture. That's it. That's the only puzzle in this game.

And yet... I couldn't stop playing! This was because of the gorgeous and unique artwork, and creative and bizarre story. I actually got a little emotional at the ending--that's never happened to me with a casual game before!

Do check out the demo. While the art style and story really appealed to me, it probably doesn't to everyone. You can get a good feel for the game after playing one puzzle. Show less

I love this game. The reviews were intriguing so I downloaded the trial and knew right away I had to buy it. I'm really tired of the same old dark and dreary HOGs, so this game was a welcome breath of fresh air!

The story is enchanting as you follow Patricia on her journey, and the writing conveys the real sense of wonder and curiosity that Patricia feels as she's exploring. I don't usually pay much attention to the storylines of games because I prefer to just jump into the action, but this story was so different it really drew me in.

Some people may be put off by lack of instructions, but it's pretty clear what you're supposed to do. The only real hint feature is a magic wand that you can use to place one tile correctly, but I used it only once just to see what it did. After you've been working with a picture for a while, little corners appear on the four corner pieces, so that's sort of a hint if you look for them.

The artwork is stunning and looks like acrylic paintings. The music is haunting and lovely, and the puzzles are quite challenging. I'm playing in Normal mode right now, but after I finish the game I'm going to go back and play the Difficult mode to see what the difference is.

If you like jigsaw puzzles, ethereal artwork, lovely music, and a charming storyline, and you appreciate the challenge of pieces that are all the same shape and size, then this is the game for you. It's a very, very welcome change from the standard fare that BigFish has been offering recently. Love BigFish, but I wish there were more diverse games. I love this game! Show less

I downloaded it mainly for the intriguing title, and... wow!

I liked everything of this game, from its slow, relaxing pace, to the mix of nature and technology, to the characters, depicted with surprising detail. Above all, I loved the pacific, kind, and determined Patricia, who I hope to meet in the sequels of this game. Show less

I found this game very absorbing. The puzzles are all jigsaw-type with square pieces, swapping the pieces to get them in their right places.
The artwork is exquisite and the pictures often have slightly muted colours, increasing the level of challenge (all to the good). The artistic style reminded me of some of the best children's book illustrators. Lovely!

The music is somewhat otherworldly and quite pleasant.
The story is rather rambling but written in a poetic style and this adds to the ethereal quality of the game.
I also liked the create-your-own-puzzle option - a nice touch.
All in all, a relaxing and enjoyable game. Show less

I just finished this beautiful game. It's a straight-ahead jigsaw game with swapped square pieces, but it's much more than that. The game is a succession of puzzles, each one a chapter from a book. The scenes and settings are ghostly and surreal. The story itself is pretty surreal as well. The artwork is absolutely beautiful and enticing - and odd.

I just finished this beautiful game. It's a straight-ahead jigsaw game with swapped square pieces, but it's much more than that. The game is a succession of puzzles, each one a chapter from a book. The scenes and settings are ghostly and surreal. The story itself is pretty surreal as well. The artwork is absolutely beautiful and enticing - and odd. I had so much fun in the early parts of this game that I consciously slowed down so that completing the 20+ chapters took me nearly a month.

The only reason I gave 4 stars to the Challenge level was that even in the easier mode, some of the puzzles were very hard, and took me a long time to solve.

I wish there were more games as interesting and quirky as this. I haven't enjoyed a game this much since Tiny Bang Story. Show less

I've just rediscovered this game and again find the story whimsically charming and the art work unique and gorgeous. The mechanics are those of a simple block type "jigsaw" puzzle so it isn't particularly complicated to play, more soothing than challenging, which suits me since I play to relax.

I recommend this game!
