I played most of the trial version and to be honest this is just one continuous hidden object mini game after another. The plot is not at all well explained, at least not it the first hour, no idea after that. It is monotony all the way through, over simplified and flat. I would not buy this game even if discounted as a daily deal, in fact if you gave it to me free I still wouldn't play it.
I don't recommend this game.

A reasonable game, not perfect. You are allowed to change game mode throughout but you might have to try a few times to get the game to reset. For example if you want to go from hard to easy, it would be hit or miss and you might end up playing normal instead. Next time it would set but it needed a few attempts. I also found a couple of the names of tools to be incorrect e.g. labelling a screwdriver as a chisel did not help game play until you realised the problem. The mini games are quite easy so no real challenge there and one of them completed before I had actually solved it entirely, so the game has a few minor glitches. The graphics are quite flat but not unusual for this type of game, I did lose sound toward the end and had to quit then restart to get the sound back. The ending is a bit lame but it should hold your interest sufficiently while playing, just don't expect perfection. I thought it was an okay game. Would I recommend it.... just about.... but no need to rush to buy.
I recommend this game!

good TMGs are hard to come by and this just tips the scales in the right direction. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it and still am as I have not quite achieved gold in every level, so the game is lasting quite well. However if you are a speed freak then the game will end quite quickly as overall it is quite short. The map I found simplistic and not at all graphically pleasing, also I found the lack of level labelling made it difficult to tell one level from another in the map if you did not want to play sequentially. Some of the play is quite repetitive and slow but overall I enjoyed it .... a little more tweaking would have made all the difference though, so it is not quite in Roads of Rome class.... but ever so close.
I recommend this game!

This is definitely one of the better games. I bought the SE but I am sure the CE was well worth buying too. I am getting a little wary of the CE market as most of them are not worth the extra money and are way to short but I don't think this would be the case here. This game has everything, intrigue, plot, great mini games and it lasted for ages. I like to play the hard mode in games and this one certainly made me think. Music is good, visually superb and the play throughout is smooth. I really enjoyed this one and I am sure you will too.
I recommend this game!

played the trial version for a while but it kept freezing when using the shovel tool, meaning you would lose a life because you had to restart. The game had a fairly average storyline and actually was rather boring after a few minutes. There is not enough variety in the game play to keep me interested and when a simple game develops problems then it is time to give it rest. Sorry this one is not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

This is an excellent game, with unusually the bonus content coming into the game instead of at the end - so much better. Excellent storyline, graphics and sounds. Oddly though even in expert mode there was a hint button all the way through, not that you should need it, the storyline is fairly intuitive. Not the longest of games but I did enjoy playing this game, it was a little bit different..... so no regrets here.
I recommend this game!

I liked everything, two modes of play, sound, graphics, storyline, puzzles.... except the ending... grrr..... I really don't like 'continued' storylines, simply because they make the game too short and continue the ending to another game. So if you don't mind shortened games then you will like this one but you might find the ending a bit of an anticlimax.
That spoiled what I would have rated as an excellent game and downgraded it to just good.
I recommend this game!

I played this game for 20 mins but gave up for two reasons. It was too slow and most of what I was looking at was a dark screen. I am all for atmosphere but trying to find objects in this one is impossible without using the hint button. I really wanted to like this storyline but it did not hold my attention and looking for things in dark corners is not my cup of tea. I can't say the graphics were bad because they were not. I can't say the mini games were deplorable because they were not. I can say it is an average game which some will like but if you don't like dark screens then this will not be for you. The game is average and some will like it, I just was not one of them.
I don't recommend this game.

not for me and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I played for 10 minutes and found it a clumsy game which was too repetitive. Sorry but good TMs keep you amused and motivate you to increase your score or time but this was just a bore. There was simply not enough variety in the game.
I don't recommend this game.
