I for one loved this game. I agree that it was a little short, but I still give it 5 stars because it excels in all of the areas I look for in a hidden object game. The puzzles are challenging, the format is unique, and the story is fun to interact with. highly recommended!
I recommend this game!

This game popped up as the daily deal on April 1, and it sounded interesting enough to try... wow, glad I did. Finished the demo in 50 minutes, and immediately bought it, literally could not put the game down until it was over.

This game popped up as the daily deal on April 1, and it sounded interesting enough to try... wow, glad I did. Finished the demo in 50 minutes, and immediately bought it, literally could not put the game down until it was over. You can get through the entire thing in somewhere between 3 and 5 hours, but what a pleasant ride getting there.
This is one of those rare games that opened me up to an entirely new genre here, and I just can't find anything bad to say about, except possibly length - at the end I wanted more, but at the same time was satisfied with the ending. Try the demo and see what you think, at the end of the demo you're roughly 1/3 of the way through the game.
Two thumbs up from me. Show less

This game has one of the best storylines ever! There are 8 categories that I judge a game by and the storyline is first or second in importance. (graphics is the other top contender) I give this game a 4.5 out of 5 for the storyline and quirky humor. I loved the game so much that I bought the game one day and had beat it by the next day!

This fairytale has a unique storyline. The HO games are easy but thought provoking. I can imagine a child having a lot of fun with this one, or even some grown ups who want to let the child in them escape to fantasy land. The graphics and imagination is fantastic.
Go on, chase that dragon down and be the hero that you'd always wanted to be... I did and, oh dear, what a really good laugh I had at

This game is a BIG hit!!! The HOG's are relatively easy, but the puzzles are fresh and new. The storyline is witty and charming. The only problem I found with the game is it has no voice overs for the characters... just script (but if you don't read the script or watch the cut scenes, you'll miss out on a lot of the humor). The narration and music are great, definitely adds to the story. I love a ...Show more

Just no sparkles pretty much and some difference on the puzzles. The puzzles were different than many other games and that was refreshing. A couple of them were kinda' hard at the beginning and I had to look them up, All in all I enjoyed this a lot! Show less

Trust all the positive reviews, I can't add much more to them. The Fool is THE funniest adventure game I ever played. Some reviewers pointed out that it isn't very long, but I think no matter how long this game would be, it would always be too short :-).

I must say I did not like the title of the game, but the game it self was very amusing. It has a console-game feel over it which makes it rather fun to play.
The one down-side is that the game is to short! I wish it was a bit longer and a tad more challenging, but overall I loved it!
I recommend this game!
