The first thing that struck me was the great setting/option controls. Best I've ever seen. Then the production quality. Top notch! The mini games strike a good balance between too hard and too simple. The story subject matter isn't something I'm typically drawn to, but what the heck. Maybe a bit of menace is good for you! I'll be adding this one to my pile. ;-)
I recommend this game!

This is an enchanting little game. The HOG play is not the usual fare, so it's more fun than others. The story and characters have a charming romantic quality. The artwork is lovely; ethereal. The voice-overs aren't annoying; in fact, they're well done. It has nice small touches, like being able to lock the inventory. Honestly, the only hiccup is the text translation/editing. There were some missing words, etc. Being a writer, that tends to bug me, but it won't keep me from buying the game. ;-)
I recommend this game!

This is a dark, creepy little number with plenty of various, not-too-difficult mini games. Decent length of game play for the money; better than most. Engaging story. Good art work and sound. Two things kept me from awarding this game 5 stars: 1) I always turn off the music. In this game there isn't much music and the music control actually controls the ambient sound, which I didn't figure out until I'd played the entire game. So I unknowingly turned off the ambient sounds, which would have made the game play much better. 2) There's way too much back-and-forth, especially at the end of the game. An interactive map would have been very beneficial!
I recommend this game!

The graphics are truly excellent, the story engaging, the pace just right. There are so many mini games, which I love. I wish more games were like this one. It was like a thrilling book that I didn't want to put down. Good job!

For me, the best part of the HOG/adventure/puzzle genre is the puzzles. This game is primarily adventure/puzzles with a bit of HOG thrown in. The puzzles are varied and plentiful and not too difficult. IMO, a puzzle should be just difficult enough to make you think outside the box, but not so difficult that you get frustrated. This game delivers that. I just wish there were more games like this, or even some that were all puzzles. I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because to get 5 stars, a casual game has to be truly exceptional. Maybe if an all-puzzle game comes out, it will receive a 5.
