This had so much potential to be a great game but it fell short in many ways. I ended up getting half way through and I was so fed up and bored with it by then that I gave up. I always like to complete games, to see them through to the end, even if I'm bored. Most of the game play is tedious. There are many Spot The Difference scenes which I don't like. There are limited hints and you can't skip puzzles. (Well, you can but you have to earn the skips and that's not easy). There are HOS but not enough of them for my liking.
The worst thing is, you have to use a magnifying glass to find objects. It's compulsory, you don't have a choice in it. The objects can be difficult to find. I didn't complete it, not because I got stuck but because life is too short to play games like these.
However, the storyline, atmosphere, dialogue and characters were all fairly realistic, believable, consistant and fun. There were also very many different stories to play but in the end, that just wasn't enough to keep me interested.

I've played a lot of these old, straight forward hidden object games by this developer and I like them all. I like the style of them. The atmosphere is good, with catchy haunting, slightly spooky music and decent sound effects. I like the subject matter. It's all about an FBI guy checking out different conspiracies while keeping within a main story, that culminates into quite a satisfying ending. It's also quite a long game. I didn't have too much trouble finding objects.
You can play a timed or untimed game. The untimed game is very relaxing. There are limited hints. You start off with six. You have always got one hint in the form of a little gold star which appears randomly in the scene (and you can accumulate up to six of these but you do have to wait a while for them to appear) The only nuisance is the slow charge skip button on mini games/puzzles. I don't like mini games and it takes about three minutes before you can skip the puzzle. The hints are slow charging too but apart from that, I really liked the game.

There isn't a skip button on mini puzzles, as such. You have to keep pressing the hint/solve button on the mini puzzles and it will progress in stages, eventually completing the puzzle for you. Found the mini puzzles exasperating at times and before I figured out how to solve them, in game, I was out there on different sites, looking for help/solutions. I don't think anyone is happy with having to do that. It won't win any game any fans. Despite this, it's still a very well executed game. It's fairly old but hasn't really dated in some aspects and could still stand shoulder to shoulder with newer games. It's aged well. Limited hints. You start off with a couple and get a couple more by finding beetles in all the scenes. If you can't finish the scenes, you can restart the level. The HOS get more puzzley as you progress through the game but they're interesting, fun and completable. It gets gradually more challenging but gently so.
It is very atmospheric. I loved the environmental sound effects and the humorous diary entries. Quite a long game, a satisfying ending and just satisfying all round really.

The graphics are rough, it's a bit clunky, there are limited hints and it's timed. Despite all this, I still loved it! I remember playing it many moons ago when it first came out. Sometimes, I would have to replay a level quite a few times, simply because I ran out of hints and couldn't find the objects. It just adds to the fun. You have to collect gems to get extra hints but there isn't a lot of them. You're lucky to get one extra hint per level. It's such a no nonesense HOG and I love the quirky scenes. There's so much going on. Weird objects in weird places. It's like they've just thrown it all in there haphazardly sometimes. I loved all the fun and interesting facts about Everest between levels and the videos were brilliant too.
I recommend this game!

I bought this game for my husband. It starts off easily enough and it's really fun and relaxing to begin with. I really like the storyline and the environmental sound effects.
I was able to play the demo without too much trouble and played a few of the levels once I'd bought the game. After about Level 30 or something, my husband took over and completed it, right up to Level 81. I would never have made it! He found the last ten or so levels very difficult and there's a time limit. You may be forced to restart a whole level, even though you may have done very well initially. You have limited lives on a level and if you lose them, they put you back a few levels.
You have to get the objects (that you need for the trip) away from the stone walls, otherwise they get trapped and locked in place. There aren't many ways to progress. It is do-able, I've seen that but I would say that this is not a Match 3 game for beginners or even intermediate. It's challenging but it could have been made more fun and players should have been rewarded more.

The 1930's songs and music that accompany this game, make it unique and memorable. There is one particular song by Glen Miller called 'The Little Man Who Wasn't There' I can only find one version of this, a very scratchy 78 rpm but in the game, it's flawless. I love it for that alone.
The game itself would still be good without the music but it really does add to the retro atmosphere.
The graphics, the subject and the music all reflect the era beautifully. The vintage videos are great too.
On the down side, the objects can be difficult to find, sometimes impossible without a hint. I've just played it but I would like to play it again soon, which is unusual for me.
I wish they'd make more featuring other decades. I just can't get enough of games like this.

The objects are a little difficult to find but not impossible. The graphics are pretty and quite detailed for the age of the game. It was an abrupt ending like Great Secrets Da Vinci but it was much better. It was also a very long game.
The hints took a while to charge up. The skip button for the mini puzzles at the end of each chapter take about three minutes to charge. I spent a lot of time doing other things, while waiting for the skip to charge. As a rule, I dislike mini puzzles and these were mostly unimaginative and boring. There was one puzzle I liked, where you have to get stores aboard a ship but it didn't come around that often. The best thing about this was the storyline. Many interesting and famous historical figures feature, like Michelangelo, Machiavelli and the Medici's and they all have their own diary entries and storylines. There's a great deal of information, conversation and dialogue between them and Nostradamus. I really liked this aspect of it.

Quite a short game and the ending is abrupt. It's also timed and if you misclick you're in trouble...you get even less time then.
I suppose the music is quite nice and it would be a relaxing straight forward hog if it wasn't for the difficulty in finding objects and the timed aspect of it.
The mini puzzles are simplistic and repetitive. They just regurgitate the same few puzzles throughout the game.
It's all about the Philosophers Stone again, like in 'Great Secrets Nostradamus'
I didn't like all the 'Spot The Differences' as I'm not a fan of that kind of puzzle. Although, the objects there were much easier to find than in the hidden object scenes.

This is one of those true horror movie type games. Lots of blood! No, seriously you will see actual blood. Very atmospheric with really nice unusual graphics, almost like a painted style. Rather sad, haunting music. Lots of scary dramatic moments that make you jump and yet...it's also a very well thought out game. It manages to retain a composure and is quite classy as horror games go. Very good, smooth gameplay, polished, very well paced. Unlimited hints.
It's not as vulgar or shocking as I think it comes across. It's simply exciting and dramatic and not gratuitous (except for the blood now and again) Exceptionally good cinematics and cutscenes. I don't like horror genres as a rule but this is a bit different. I love the storyline too. It's very relatable to human emotions, all about the horror of regret when you don't appreciate what you have until it's too late, So, it's horror in more ways than one.

This is a straight forward hidden object game, with usually a jigsaw type puzzle to do at the end of each chapter. There is no skip button and it is also timed, so quite challenging in that aspect.
In fact the whole game is timed, so it's not exactly relaxing but the good news is, you can start each chapter afresh and you will most likely do better the second time round, as you remember where the objects are hidden.
I like it because it's quirky and old school, especially in its graphics. The graphcs aren't too hot but I like them and I like the gameplay.
It has a great atmosphere and I love the music, which is very memorable,catchy and sort of haunting and sinister. It does after all, relate to a horrible real life tragedy from the past, where many people lost their lives.
What makes this game challenging and exciting is, you are underwater, so every time you use a hint, you lose some oxygen (time).I found I played a chapter many times because objects weren't easy to find and because hints are essentially limited. I would have to start over. When it wasn't frustrating, it was fun! You will always progress and gain more time each time, as you learn where everything is. The objects are quite difficult to find, sometimes ridiculously so. They are blended into the background, as was the habit/method of hiding objects in the older games. It's bad enough that it's timed, but when you use a hint, you lose even more time! You do need a bit of patience for this one but I really liked it nevertheless.
