I am usually pretty critical of the games I buy. I LOVED THIS GAME!!!!. If you really like hidden objcect games this is definitely for you. The majority of the tasks are HO scenes with a few high quality mini-puzzles thrown in. The HO scenes are great - some easy finds and some really challenging ones. A great mix of difficulty.

I am usually pretty critical of the games I buy. I LOVED THIS GAME!!!!. If you really like hidden objcect games this is definitely for you. The majority of the tasks are HO scenes with a few high quality mini-puzzles thrown in. The HO scenes are great - some easy finds and some really challenging ones. A great mix of difficulty. The entire game is absolutely beautiful. The scenery is stunning and beautifully drawn/animated. The worlds are gorgeous and varied. Even the music is great!! I usually get annoyed by the music and turn it off. Not this game! In a refreshing twist the hints are actually helpful! No dumb character that follows you around but provides no value. There are two characters that travel with you but you are not dependent on their help to complete the worlds. I really liked the journal and the fact that you did not have to keep checking it to progress through the game. The text is fairly brief (not tons of time reading useless dribble) and you are told when you have completed each map location. You also get to re-visit many of the locations again later in the game with new challenges. I would highly recommend this game for HO fans. It is now my new favorite game. Show less

I recommend this game!

So give it a try it is well worth the money. For people who worry about the how long it is, .It too me about 4 hours. I like to read everything. Enjoy.

This is entertaining and relaxing at the same time. Lots of HOGs, and the items change somewhat if you go through the game again. Most of items are well hidden, so you can feel a bit of accomplishment when you finish a level. The graphics are well done; this is not one of the "eerie scary" games that seem so popular these days. The mouse is the cutest one I've seen since Mickey! Overall, I really ...Show more

You are accompanied on your journey to collect crystals and runes to repair the portal between earth and Sefirem by an elf and the cutest mouse you’ve ever seen, who is costumed with an earring and tail-ring, muffler and granny glasses.

You are accompanied on your journey to collect crystals and runes to repair the portal between earth and Sefirem by an elf and the cutest mouse you’ve ever seen, who is costumed with an earring and tail-ring, muffler and granny glasses. The hand-drawn artwork is simply gorgeous (similar to a creative artist's illustration of a fairy tale). Any scene would make a terrific picture to hang in any room needing a bit of whimsy. The mini-puzzles were not difficult.

Crystals are collected in 4 locations, each with 3 or 4 scenes, by finding a list of items and using those that go into inventory to interact with the scene. Crystals appear as the inventory is placed. After the crystals are found, you search for runes. Sometimes it was difficult to find an object, usually because the artwork is a stylized interpretation by the artist. But the artwork was so beautiful that I didn’t mind. [But not everyone will like the artwork.]

This was a very fun game to play but it ended too soon. I wished the crystals were stolen so the game could continue. Show less

I recommend this game!

They needed a human "you" to help and they promised to put you back. Hidden objects you don't mind looking for as music is soothing, artwork is detailed and creative. Objects interact with objects to locate crystals. No looking for sparkle areas as you go room to room. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Show less

For some it's either too sweet or too sour. Different strokes for different folks. I personally love the game, and yes it's a buy. "Hi Human" is what the mouse and fairy call you throught out the game, it made me chuckle. Phenomenal logical thinking game. Excellent puzzles.

I recommend this game!

Wow today's D/D really is a great one. The game is pretty simple, mainly HOG with a few very easy puzzles to solve. This said the game wins for me purely because of the beautiful scenes in this gorgeous land of the fairies. The scenes are so beautifully created that whenever I got really stuck finding an item I didn't even want to use the hint button.

This game had lots of HOS, which I like. The mini games were good and fit into the flow of the game. The story line started out a little confusing and disorganized, but smoothed out as you got into the game. The HOS weren't too difficult, but challenging enough to hold my interest. I did not have to go to the walk through, if one is even available, which is a plus for me. The hints were good and ...Show more

I enjoyed it all the time. Nice graphics, relaxing quests, pleasant music. Anything new, but well done. I like to play it again. I did not expect such a preponderance of hidden objects, but it was welcome.
The only reservation: too fast speech. My English is not so good. The story seemed fun, but I did not catch everything (unfortunately, my usual problem :-)).
It was a very pleasant evening.

I recommend this game!
