Sorry, but have to pass on this one. Just could not get my mind into it. Graphics could be better. Boring.
Handholding, no challenge. Scenes cannot be skipped. Lots of Hog's so far.
I like adventure games, that keep you interested and wanting more...... this one let me down.
But I'm sure there are many that like this kind of game.So I will not recommend or recommend. We all have different tastes.

I have waited for this to come out and bought it without trying.
It's just like the previous one, only better. The graphics seem to be better and they added a photo album where you collect photos. Still the same quirky fun story . This is a good game to relax and what you will play over and over.
Some items are pretty small but never too hard to find.
Very entertaining, leave it to Playrix for this genre of games, never disappoint. Now I'm waiting for Aquascapes to come out.:)

Am I dead? Apparently, and you have no memory of how it happened. Death may be the least of your problems.

Started out very promising but went downhill quickly. Seemed like the style of a large file game .Too much hand holding and way too many HOS. Story could have been interesting but I lost interest fast and deleted.
Get ready for new adventures and unexpected twists in Book Two of the Adelantado Trilogy!

I have waited and waited for book two to come out. Here it is. I bought it without trying.
They added a few new features and it saves now when exiting. You don't lose the game, like in the first one.
Better graphics, same gameplay...well everything good has already been mentioned.
Can't wait for book three now.Off to play again, just love it

Only played for a while but I am hooked.This game has gorgeous graphics and colors. There is so much to do.
The HOS are different and totally held my interest. You can click on a word and get another word game that has to do with the object you need to find. Then you can travel back in time to play another HOS within the same HOS, same area, different look. How imaginative is that?
The telescope can be used to travel back in time and you get a wheel that controls the elements.
Characters are very lifelike and soundeffects are right on.
This is truly something different and I must have it in my ever growing collection.
Nice map, good journal with tasks to do list and replayable video scenes. Good hint button.
No morphing or achievements, although I do like those, they are not missed in this game. This game has already a lot of things going, you will not feel the need to try to look for collectables.
Very enjoyable and good storyline. Kept my interest.
Much better than the first one.
Minigames are not too hard but very fun to do.

Oh yes, this is one of my absolut favorite games now. I love everything about it.
So much to do, graphics are crisp and beautiful. Story keeps me interested. It is also plenty long, which I love even more.
These devs did not just create a game they kept it interesting and not just end it abruptly.
It is like going out for a burger, but you end up with a steak.
Finding the fleur de lis wasn't always easy. Well hidden.
Hog's are not too hard and minigames are fun to play.
I enjoyed finding the scents and creating potions that you need to go on. How neat.
Map is nicely done.
Well everything good has already been mentioned.
I'm totally impressed with this one. Who knew these dev's are able to come up with this. Please bring more

This is a must buy for me. Seldom do we come across a game with such detailed sharp graphics. The lighting and depths of the scenes is almost 3D, just beautiful. Just look at the flytrap or the HOG next to the Alligator, you can almost see your own shadow in the water. I'm impressed!!!
Story is nothing new, but keeps you wanting to find out more.
Are these new devs? Well keep it up, absolutely a wonderful job.
Don't need hints really, it is pretty smooth flowing and you usually know, what to do next.
You get to mix potions again that you need to use on different objects to move on.
It has a notebook that keeps track.
Sound effects match perfectly. It had me sweating at the beginning, needed to get out of the box quickly. I hate to be in a box, but I made it :)
I recommend strongly

I have posted this in the forums already but had to put it here too.
I'm very excited about this game
Very nice interesting game. At first I was a bit torn if I would like it or not but after about 20 minutes, I got sucked in.
Thanks Playrix, who knew you would come out with an adventure game like this.
Everything good has already been mentioned by other fishies.
I just really enjoyed the imagination from these devs.
I got the paper mom by accident, wow, very creative, and shoo the fireflies into the bottle. Very neat.
Liked everything about this game, except it could have been a little longer.

I also liked that there are no HOGs. It was pure adventure.... and the eyes of the beholder...... too adorable. Some are extremely well hidden.
Truly enjoyed, but a little too short. Maybe I just did not want it to end?
Give it a chance, it's very good, not dark and eerie, but has it's moments of chills, due to the imagination of the devs. After all, it is a nightmare.....muuuhaahaaaa
I recommend this game!

I love this game. It is so much like Gardenscapes, Farmscapes and Dream Inn: Driftwood.
It is a nice break from chasing zombies and werewolves, which I love, but if I do not want to think too much....... I play these games.
I like when the people there interact with you and wave and such.
You have to be fast in finding the objects though, to get full price for the items. And the decorating is fun too. Fantastic graphics.
Just a perfect little timewaster. But wasn't this one supposed to be a CE? Nevertheless, I need to buy it.

This a very well made game. Graphics are detailed and clear. It is also a very, very long game, which I love. This game is better than most CE's and it is just a SE. Who knew?
I loved helping the ghosts. I can never say no to these kind of games. The devs definitely put a lot of work into this which is hard to find.
You have to read everything, it is like a very good book that you cannot put down.
Lots of location and not too much back and forth, but it's so much fun.
Map let's you transport if you feel the need. The journal refreshes your memory, if you forget what you should do next. It keeps getting better and better as you go on. Never loses it's spark.
Yes, the story is once again about the evil powers but even so, it's different and the story pulls you in.
You need to collect game pieces ( ghost figurines ) along the way and put them back into the game box to solve each case. To me this was a high quality game, just the length alone
The ending does not leave you hanging, it all ties up nicely.
This game never got boring for me, I love variety in a game. This one delivered.
Thanks so much to the devs, please keep it up.
Unfortunately with most SE's, even CE's the quality is lacking, such as story, length...., not here. Fantastic, what a nice gem of a game.
