It had HOS with hints and music but no environmental sound effects. What spoiled it for me was the many puzzles/mini games. In the end, it seemed, there were more puzzles than HOS and gameplay, which slowed it down a lot. It took about 5 mins for the skip button on puzzles to charge up. It was an okay game really but if you don't like puzzles if may not be for you.
I recommend this game!

It was quite a basic HOG, with relaxing hidden object scenes, nice music and some simple mini games. It had an interesting written story to follow between levels and you go around the world! There was a hint button on the HOS and a skip for puzzles.
There are five restaurants/cafes with ten levels each. A good restaurant time management game. Detailed clear graphics. Effective sound effects and good game play. Mouth watering food!
I recommend this game!

Sacra Terra: Angelic Night
The demons of the Seven Deadly Sins have broken free of their fiery prison and taken up residence in Sacra Terra!
It's like a Diner Dash game and the idea is to sit customers, collect dishes and put them in the dish tub. I was really enjoying the game, until I got stuck on Level 26. I even went back to the beginning and played all the levels again, to earn more money, so I could get all the upgrades at maximum level. I also got all the bonuses that could be purchased for the level. I kept all the customers happy, didn't lose any, and played it over and over, trying different techniques, but to no avail. You can bang your head against a wall, only so many times before you move on, or pass out. Time to move on. Disappointing.
I don't recommend this game.

Very atmospheric game. It's back to back HOS, but they are all very different, either imaginative, exciting, vivid, creepy, serene, surreal, relaxing, moody, mysterious, cheerful, or funny scenes. The only downside was, I didn't like the puzzles, peppered throughout, and felt like they interfered with the HOS. It wasn't easy to find myself round the map/pathway of the game either. It's not linear. But apart from that, it's a selection box of goodies really. The environmental sound effects are great and the music is good too. Something for everyone!

Straight forward hidden object scenes but with a difference. You take photos of objects you find and there's fun or witty little captions at the bottom of every single one. You delve into the domain of mysterious, flawed and larger than life characters and find clues about them. It's all very reminiscent of some of the very early Mystery Case Files games. If you like this, chances are you'll like Paparazzi, which is very similar in style, graphics and game play. There are also some unusual and unique puzzles/mini games that you have to complete to finish the chapter. You need quite fast reactions in these, so it's not a relaxing game. Objects are challenging to find sometimes, and downright unfair at times, but the fun aspect more than made up for it I feel.
I recommend this game!

Reminds me of the early Mystery Case Files: 'Prime Suspects' and 'Madame Fate'. You look for clues about exciting but mysterious characters in hidden object scenes. All the characters are over the top and very colorful but also quite well rounded. We all know someone a bit like them, or maybe a lot like them. They have quirks and foibles and at the end of chapters, you find out a little more about them, but never enough so that they lose their alluring mysteriousness. There's even a bit of exciting arcade action at the end of each chapter. The only downside is the deviously hidden objects. To make it even more of a challenge, you have to earn your hints. if you have the patience, be prepared to play scenes over and over until you get to know where everything is. It's not easy earning money for hints and I didn't exactly sail through scenes first time, but that's what I liked about it, it's challenging AND fun.

Luscious back to back hidden object scenes, in this old school game, in a realistic Victorian genre. Bags of atmosphere and good environmental effects. It always seems to be raining though, but that's quite soothing. The cockney guy who berates you when you get something wrong is a real unique feature. I love his voice. I played it four times in all because I got stuck when I first played it and had to start again. I couldn't understand why I got stuck the third time, when I'd just completed it on the second attempt! There's no way back if you don't pick up objects in a certain order and you'll have to start again. Also, there is no hint to help you find objects that you need to progress in the gameplay. The HOS has a hint system but not the actual gameplay and it was the gameplay that needed it, in my opinion. I didn't mind having to start again, as there is a degree of re-playability. You are graded at the end of each chapter, on different elements, almost as if you were at school. So it gives you incentive to play again and to improve on your score.
