The graphics were well done, puzzles and HOs were fine. I've played other games where you switch persons so nothing new here. Story isn't different or exciting, but OK. In description it makes this one sound so new and different and the 1 review claims best game of the year, sorry, I do not have the same opinion and was really disappointed, I will reconsider purchase when the SE comes out
I recommend this game!

Game play wasn't bad and graphics are well done, but the story is horrible, a sick psycho thriller that I couldn't wait for it to end. I really have nothing further to say as I wish this had never been offered for demo,
I don't recommend this game.
When a famous shapeshifting alchemist is charged with looking into the murder of the king's most trusted agent and friend, the last thing she expects to discover is an intricate network of shadowy criminals, intent on bringing chaos to the land.

Based on the Demo, this was excellent, finally one that is different in gameplay. The HOs were excellently done and original, not filled with annoying puzzles, graphics are exceptional, voice over in continuous without having to click continue. Based on the Demo, I will give this 5 Stars, which is not common for me to do, and in hopes that the full game continues in it's excellence. I do like the story and looks like a "Who done it" which will be fun. If I have 1 issue, it's the making of potions, but hope there isn't a ton of it as we go along.
I recommend this game!

When I played the trial, I couldn't wait to buy this one but glad I waited to give it a review as even though the rest of the game was very good, it wasn't as excellent as the trial period. It had some interesting HO games with several more difficult finds and it's not overloaded with puzzles, which I like as you shouldn't have to solve a puzzle to get new inventory items. I'm really looking forward to a sequel of this series as I love the games adapted from great children's fables. I highly recommend this one.
I recommend this game!

Never get tired of Scarecrow Boy, really like this series as it hasn't gone the way of other serieses yet, down the tubes. I did wait for the SE as the CE wasn;t worth the extra cost, but am enjoying the game now.
I recommend this game!

This series has been going downhill and it might be time to retire the Mystery Trackers and start with a new super agent as the last few have not been top of their game. I do have to say that I was more disappointed with the demo than the rest of the game as it did get somewhat better but not the exciting quality we've learned to expect from this series. They also seem to be filling in the game with tons of puzzles to extend the time, but we aren't to be fooled; they also have very few HO games and for me, I'd prefer HOs to puzzles. I also do not feel this game is CE worthy and wish I'd waited for the SE version to come out and reevaluate, for that reason I do not recommend this version.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm stunned, how did this one make it off the cutting room floor? I have nothing good to say and my Mom always said if I had nothing good to say, don't say anything at all.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoyed this one, could have been longer and knocked off 1/2 star because their attempt to do fragment HOs like Dark Parables, just didn't quite match up. The graphics are beautiful, the story was very interesting, and it was quite a bit of fun. Overall, this was an excellent game with a few minor issues, but I highly recommend. I also love that it has chapters so if you need to quit, you can come back at a new task.
I recommend this game!

I must say, I was very disappointed in this newest release of one of my favorite series, and wish I had waited for the SE to come out. As always, the graphics are gorgeous, the story was interesting, the game was long, and the HOs are my favorite type. What disappoints me is the complexity of the game, very, very difficult which made it unenjoyable. I've played enough of these games to have learned how to think my way out of a situation, but this one had no direction for me to conclude the next move and I used the hint button far too many time. I think I'll go back and play the Frog Prince, one of my all time favorites and I believe the 1st in the series. A logical person like Me, anyway I've been told I am, should have been able to have gotten thru this game without too much difficulty, which was not the case and the reason behind my low rating. I hope the next in the series doesn't have Einstein develop it as we all want to enjoy these games.
I don't recommend this game.
Follow trails, uncover secrets in hidden object scenes, and solve various puzzles on your quest to break the curse of the Willmore clan!

I'm sorry, but the 1 hour trial was like molasses, game play slow and frustrating. I won't sugar coat it here, this was one boring game to get through. Every time there was text speech, which there is no voiceover, you could not do anything until the speech text went away which was up for a long time. It's frustrating as you couldn't click on the lower portion of screen to go to another area, you had to click the arrow at the top right of the screen; this is not how games these days work. I do have to say that graphics aren't bad, other than some HOs were very dark and hard to find items, also the story may progress to be interesting, so if this developer works on the very old functions that make this game operate in such a manner that it bores you, they may have a good game someday.
I don't recommend this game.
