You visit 12 regions and buy and sell antiques, rare items and memorabilia. It's half hidden object scenes and half auctioneer game. I'm not sure I like the mix and would have preferred just the relaxing HOS section of it, even though the auctioning is a nice twist and it is a good novelty game that brings interest to the HOG genre. I bought it mostly because I liked the HOS and didn't figure on all the buying, selling, trading and haggling I'd have to do. I think the auctioneer guy is great though and does add interest and excitement to a run of the mill HOG. You might like it if you're interested in antiques.
I like this series. It's stress free and relaxing but fun at the same time. I don't get bored with it at all. Suitable for beginners and intermediate players. There are 24 levels in each chapter and there are four chapters in which you'll travel to Provence, Normandy, Champagne and Paris.
I recommend this game!

Storyline
3/ 5
This, in my opinion, reminds me of Dr. Lynch: Grave Secrets and a little like Unlikely Suspects and Mystery Stories: Berlin Nights and Letter From Nowhere series. All of which I have purchased and enjoyed. They are all old school games which are basically back to back HOS, with lots of detail in the HOS, similar graphics, imaginative relaxing scenes and good atmosphere in regard to environmental sound effects. There are twelve chapters in this game, usually consisting of three scenes or so each. There was one little thing. Puzzles/mini games are usually easy to skip but I skipped a puzzle in the library. It was a book puzzle and you had to arrange the books in order to make a picture. I think that was around Chapter Six. The game froze so I began it again. Second time round, I solved the puzzle manually, instead of skipping it and this seemed to solve the problem and I was able to progress in the game. Not sure if it makes any difference but I found it is best to find all the objects in the scene before doing the puzzle. No evidence for this, but it was one of the tactics I used when playing it again. Some of the old games need to be played in a certain linear order and if you don't, it scrambles their brain. Not ideal but that's how some of them worked at the time. We've progressed since then, so they say.

Demon Hunter: Chronicles from Beyond - The Untold Story
Professor Ashmore, the same man who so kindly took you in and raised you as his own has been murdered. It’s up to you to find out why, but are you prepared for what truths may be uncovered?
It has those slightly painted graphics that I don't normally like but they completely got away with it here. It has really good game play and very nice and relaxing HOS. Good atmosphere and pace and there are collectible items to be found.

Your Doodles Are Bugged
A magic explosion in the studio of Doodleus the Master Doodler has hexed his pet bugs into his doodles!
I bought this after playing the demo. The demo will have you rolling over and have someone tickle you tummy. It's an amazing demo. It's a completely different matter AFTER you have bought it. It suddenly becomes a new animal, a different creature. It was all very friendly early on, but now that you have parted with your money, it will eat you alive. All those cute critters are suddenly not so cute anymore. I'll cut to the chase. It becomes too difficult and too frustrating to play. If only they hadn't messed with the ink. The game is challenging enough without having a small ration of ink to draw with! This means you cannot draw a path for the little creatures to follow. It's hard enough and it kicks you when you're down. I enlisted the help of a couple of advanced players (or let's say players better than me) and they didn't have a good time playing it either. On a lighter note, I enjoyed the graphics and sweet little bugs but the game play could do with being more user friendly. Unfortunately, it was a waste of money in my opinion and I was disappointed.
Unique, fantastic and amazing game with imaginative graphics and exciting gameplay. You go through dungeons and fight monsters. Will get the old school action RPG nostalgia buds salivating.
Excellent game play, addictive and lots of fun. I'm not used to this style of time management, I'm more into the fast paced diner dash restaurant type. This is a new and different experience. I thought that the 'clearing path' type of games were not for me, but this is great. The graphics and animation are very good and I love the characters.
A mixture of match 3 and time management, which if done properly, might work well but it doesn't seem to have been attempted lately. Maybe that's for a good reason. Older games tend to be unforgiving, whether this is because of limited technology or programming experience at the time, I don't know. We've come a long way, just by trial and error to make games more user friendly. Some people want their games to be dumbed down to a level where they can't possibly fail and we see a lot of those coming up in this day and age. At the same time, we don't enjoy the opposite either, which involves banging your head against a brick wall to get a score that you will never get in a million years. Was anyone actually able to test the game properly to see if anyone could get expert level on every level, and if not, maybe that's because it hasn't been programmed that way. There has been huge development and progress since then. A lot of the old school games were addictive and a lot of fun but sometimes promised more than they could deliver and I think that this game falls into that category.

A lovely little game that gives enough challenge, without having to beat your head against a brick wall to progress. It has nice graphics, cute characters with strong personalities and enough addictive game play and upgrades to keep you interested until the end.

Not bought many physics based games as they tend to get difficult very quickly and you're left with a half finished game that never sees the end. Tennis in the Face is very different. It does increase with difficulty but on such a gradual level that you can learn enough as you go along, to become better at predicting where the ball might go. So in that way, it's a very organic experience. Got right to the end and went right back to the beginning to get a better score. It's challenging without ever being frustrating, which can be an uncommon and valuable thing in the gaming world.
