All this is is a series of HO puzzles. You are supposed to be a detective but there is no deduction. Just a series of 'rooms' to explore through an HO game and the odd puzzle. I played the demo only and won't be buying it.
A gentle game that doesn't have too much challenge, but a great storyline and amazing graphics. A lovely way to pass an afternoon. And I always appreciate the opportunity to go back and find the collectibles and morphs after I've finished the game.
The plot is great. The visual/sound is awful. The level of challenge is non existent. I had high hopes but, having played the demo, this is one I to avoid. Such a shame.
I've only played the demo so far, but really enjoyed it despite the lack of challenge; although the HOPs and mini games are slightly different than the norm. The storyline is a good one and the graphics are excellent. The optional 'helper' is great fun - and I normally dislike games when they are part and parcel of the story. I was pleased that the plotline was less black than usual. So I suggest you give it a try!
The graphics are awful. So is the plot and so are the mini games. No challenge and really, when a fire breaks out telling me that my task is to put out the fire?! I didn't bother playing to the end of demo.
I beta tested this game and didn't like it then. The game doesn't know who its audience is. The two dolls are a little spooky, the storyline is probably aimed at young adults (female only) but all the puzzles/hops are aimed at a younger audience and are far too simplistic.
I can only agree with Sunnyglow, who has gone into quite a lot of detail about this game. it is just average. Nothing new, nothing remotely challenging and, I agree, I really dislike the trent of having a helper. So won't be buying. And collecting furbits when the game is supposed to be scary?!
There is the odd game where the sense of humour of the developers means that I can forgive and enjoy having a helper, but there aren't many of those. And this is not one of them.
I was fortunate enough to beta test this game and it is even better now than then. The games are different from anything I have seen to date and I love everything about it It's a real challenge with a great story. Am off to buy it immediately.
