The graphics are easy on the eye and the gameplay is solid. It has a creepy, quirky atmosphere without being too dark I liked the occasional thought-provoking dialogue and the voices were good. One of its strong points was the fairly unique premise behind it (for a HOG) the psychological traumas of being trapped in a dead end job, the rat race, the idea that we're all just puppets and slaves to the nine to five. What let it down was the abrupt ending and lack of conclusion. I remember thinking 'Seriously, is that it?' It was one of those double take moments. I thought maybe there was another chapter somewhere and I'd ovelooked it somewhere. It was almost as if the developers had suddenly realised their deadline was coming up within the week and hastily gave it the heave ho. So, it was quite disapponting for that reason and I did think there was another two chapters to go. Felt short as well.
I enjoyed the game overall and will probably replay at some point, but not for a while. Maybe with a second play, now that I'm prepared for the ending, I'll enjoy it more- and it won't be such a shock!

Imagine a sunny day at a cozy Parisian cafe. People are walking around, drinking coffee and laughing. Suddenly a bright flash wipes out all life on Earth!

This game is a combination of timed hidden object game, match 3 and casino. You play the hidden objects scenes again and again, relentlessly. The match 3 has a limit. There are two types of match 3 game, a timed and an untimed.
I really like the untimed match 3 game, it has good graphics and effects.
The problem with the game is, there is no clearly defining ultimate goal. It also doesn't appear to end (just like free to play games).
If you go into this knowing that it doesn't appear to have an ending and that sits well with you, then you may survive. and enjoy it for what it is.
I've been playing it on and off now for six months, am on Level 28, are about a week away from completing the Match 3 (untimed) and wonder what will happen after that, if anything. I was waiting to finish the game before I did a review, but decided that the world might end before that.
A mindless, repetitive and never ending groundhog day.
On the other hand, you can dip in and out when you like, as long as you don't take it too seriously. Iif you are resigned to the idea that you may never complete it, then, there is possible enjoyment to be had. I like the historical figures and the things they say, some inspiring, some funny and you sort of go on this never ending journey with them.

A genre mix of a modern setting with a Middle Earth type theme.
Some irritating sound effects. An alarm goes off for a while, in the first part,which almost made me not buy it. The voices of most of the characters are like nails down a chalkboard. Of course, you can always turn the sound down. It was rather short, or certainly felt like a shorter game than unusual.
On the plus side, I thought there were unique puzzles in the game play. Not as run of the mill as other games, a little unusual and had a quirkiness. It also had you thinking just a little bit outside the box, just a smidgen. Nice graphics too.

I liked the storyline, the genre (1940's style) the graphics, the sound effects and the atmosphere. Nice cinematics too, infrequent enough not to break up the story or bore you silly, yet just enough to keep the story going at a good pace.
I wish they'd come up with some unique puzzles, not having a go at this game in particular, as a lot of these games are guilty of cliched done to death puzzles,both in the game play and in the mini sections. It tends to be the same uniform gameplay, with the same puzzles but maybe executed slightly differently. If I never light another lantern, cut open a mattress or give another dog a bone, it'll be too soon.
The HOS are unique and fun to do. They have different types. In some you start off by finding four object shapes which then unlock four more object lists and also they have matching object HOS.
They also have a teleport system, which is handy.
The graphics are rendered beautifully, with good detail.
The last half of the game, gets really interesting and builds up in pace. What I liked most about this game is the characters, they were strong,mostly likable, quite believable and not too annoying,

I prefer old/older games because they usually have more straight forward and more frequent HOS, than the newer ones and this game proved to be correct on both counts.
I'm sure the graphics were state of the art at the time but they seem very basic now. It also felt a a bit short to me. (I've just recently complained about a game being too long.There's no pleasing some people)
The main character's voice was okay but there were others, not naming names, that were terrible, very wooden. Some of the sound effects were funny for all the wrong reasons and some of them downright irritating.
Having said that though, I found it very atmospheric, which is something else that the older games nailed. All in all, I enjoyed it for its simplicity, atmosphere and a particular quirkiness that only old games seem to have.

A game with a Victorian backdrop, slightly leaning towards the steampunk genre. Well paced game with a strong clear storyline. Clean graphics with fun and interesting puzzles. Quite quick charge on hints and skips. Would have liked more hidden object scenes.There seemed to be a lot to do and it felt like an epic game. It actually felt a bit tiresome at times because it just seemed to go on forever, but better too long than too short. You definately get your moneys worth with this standard version.
I recommend this game!

The graphics are nice and the story/plot is okay but the puzzles are cliched. Same old, same old and far too many puzzles for my liking and most of them mind numbingly predictable. Not only that, but they actually repeated a puzzle. I was also disappointed by how short it was.
On the upside - quick rechargable hint and skip buttons and the hidden object scenes were good but not frequent enough. Some exciting interactive moments.
I've noticed that the first hour of games like these are really exciting but then you buy it and you end up being quite bored by it all.
The game developers know that the first hour/demo is critical, so they have to work on that the most. The newer games tend to lose their momentum after the first hour of playing, which is obviously no coincidence.
The genre pulled me in. I like that blend of Philip Marlowe, 40's style with the 70's overlay. It had potential but in the end, it didn't live up to my expectations.

I found this a gentle game, no horror, blood, gore, or violent dark scenes. A fairy tale/medieval genre. Straight forward hidden object scenes. The special feature, in my opinion, is the unique and fun little puzzles. Fast charging hint and skip button. I also like the little touches like the raccoon in control of the hint button, who also features occasionally, in the cinematics. Very cute feature.
I also liked the graphics in the first hour of the game.
There's a scene where there's a enormous tortoise in the sea and another where there's a huge lobster on a beach. It has a kind of Ray Harryhausen feel, but don't be fooled by this. Those exciting scenes do not carry beyond the demo.
Disappointing on that level and it seemed slightly shorter than other games and the ending is a little abrupt.
Still a decent game though. Light, airy, pleasant and enjoyed playing.

HOG's can be cliched and boring but this one is different and tugs at the heartstrings without being overly sentimental, gushing or predictable.
Very atmospheric in sound effects and scenes, nice semi realistic graphics. Hint and skip button slow to charge on puzzles and hints. Quite a long game, compared to others. You get your money's worth.
Unique Feature - You collect coins in scenes(not in hidden object scenes but everywhere else) then you use the coins to open treasure chests, that will have valuable items, like keys or other objects, to complete the game.
I got lost a few tmes, because of my poor sense of direction, but the game really tries to guide you on this.
Touching, satisfying ending.

This was the first game I bought from Big Fish and I've bought many games since, but this didn't disappoint. The graphics are nice and the hidden object scenes are straightforward, as are the puzzles and mini puzzles. I like games where you don't get stuck enough so that you have to go to any strategey guide, or walkthrough and this is one of them. The story and plot are very understated and subtle. It doesn't have a convoluted plot or over describes and there are no long and pointless cinematics here.
So a satisfying, self explanatory, well paced game. I don't have a good sense of direction in games and am always getting hopelessly lost but not in this one. Also, you don't meet anyone in the game, you are completely alone and if you like that kind of thing in games, then this is for you.
Good sound effects and atmosphere throughout.
The only downside is, the ending is a little abrupt, but that's a little thing.
I played it again, just this week, after a year away, and enjoyed it just as much.
