Based on both the CE and SE demos.
Did you ever wonder if there were other worlds to be discovered? Your character is going to investigate a missing Physicist who just MAY be able to answer that for us.
I didn't find any problems with the graphics (as some reviewers did). Nor did I have any qualms with the music or sound effects. MY problem came when the voice overs started. Really DEVS? Why is it a necessity to share the same actor who has that nasally, squeaky, pipsqueak voice? It seems just about every game lately has that character in it. Worse than nails on a chalkboard.
Difficulty: Casual, Expert, Insane and Custom.
HOGs (hidden object games) - varied from list items to silhouettes to word games. There is an alternate marble shooter game if you prefer that.
Mini Games - ran the gamut of easy to difficult. Several times I couldn't find instructions and had to figure things out myself.
You are armed with a map that I assume is transportable (didn't work for me most of the time so I gave up) that shows "locations where you have something to do" as opposed to "a task to do there"? Ummm. What's the difference? Maybe that's why my map didn't work ---- it was ----- confused. Also, an artifact that gives you 3 powers: mend, cleanse and one other I didn't get during the demo.
CE Bling:
Aside from the usual fare, there are:
* 40 Collectible Books - some are right in your face while others need some looking for.
* A souvenir room - not sure what for.
* Morphing Objects - there is an Achievement for collecting all the morphing objects --- I didn't come across any, and more than several reviewers noted they hadn't found any either. Hmmmmm.

I was not incredibly impressed with this latest in the Amaranthine series. I just did not get my personal "wow" factor. There was so much to do .... so much going on .... that the story got swallowed up by it all. Because of the customization, I would recommend this for every level of game play and certainly for people more interested in "doing" things than following a story.
For these reasons, and a few more, this will not be a purchase for me. For those who are on the hunt for Harmonium......................
Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Based on both the CE and SE demos.
While receiving the wonderful wedding gifts from your future husband, he is whisked through a portal (of course! Yet another portal) and off you go to rescue him. Sigh. Ah, true love. Why? Because HIS pure heart is needed to open the Gate of Chaos ..... plunging the world into ..... I'll let you figure out what is going to happen. lol
The graphics were done very well. No over-usage of crayons. lol. The voice overs, while done very well, stop and start willy-nilly once you go through the portal. Hmmm. Music was quite lovely ..... violin dominant. Sound fx - OMGosh .... ghostly moans, birds cawing, strange noises. Yep ... creepy.
Difficulty: Casual, Advanced, Hard and Custom.
HOGs (hidden object games) are slightly interactive lists and riddles. I saw a creepy shadow moving across one HOG. Creepy!. There is an alternate jigsaw puzzle game if you prefer.
Mini Games: IMO these outweigh the HOGs by number. Fresh, innovative, new and not entirely difficult.
Helper: Yes. Quite different .... and I found it somewhat ..... creepy. (shiver)
CE Bling:
Besides the usual music, wallpaper, replayable games, there are:
* collectible feathers - extremely easy to find as they are right there ..... under your proverbial nose .... when you look/find something else entirely.
* collectible feathers - extremely easy to find as they are right there ..... under your proverbial nose .... when you look/find something else entirely.
That''s it. Collectible feathers used to create a giant wing. Sad. Very, very sad. And some of the feathers are in the Bonus Game. So, it seems if you want to complete the huge wing using all the feathers.....you are OBLIGATED to purchase the CE. Sneaky much?
I've played the beta. I've played the CE. Now, I've played the SE and read some great reviews (in regards to how helpful they were). This is, apparently, a very short game with a bonus game lasting less than an hour. Maybe 3 hours tops all together. Hmmm.
I'm torn. I like the story. I like the mini games. I think this is a fun and cute little game. NOT worthy of using cash to purchase. Definitely use a free coupon or bogo sale. My opinion has changed since playing the CE but I don't know how likely I am to even use a PCC on such a short game. I'd definitely recommend it for Easy or Beginners to this game genre. Experts, I feel, will be bored.
For those who like the "Snow White" inspired game (check out one of the mini games to 'get' this reference), I hope you
ENJOY!
I recommend this game!

Based on both the SE and CE demos.
Normally I don't purchase the "PuppetShow" series. I think I have the one before this ..... but THIS.............. um ...... WOW!!!!!
The storyline is very well done .... it hooks you right in from the very beginning. From the creepy narrator telling us how people don't appreciate the older things in life .... like puppets, to your character getting a "cry-for-help" letter from his/her bestie .... Enrique.
The reason I denote "his/her" above is because when you set up your profile ..... you get to choose between a male or female character AND there are 3 different characters to choose from - how COOL is THAT!!!!!
The graphics are very well done. Maybe TOO well done!?!?!? lol Definitely a game with a bit of a creep value. The voice overs were beyond excellent. Somehow, this Dev was able to make a tiny doll's voice sound either innocent or devilish. The music is spot on. Sound fx couldn't get any better.
There are 4 difficulty modes: Casual, Advanced, Hard and Custom.
You are equipped with a rather unusual map. It shows all the customary "I'm here. Here's an open task, etc." I found it a bit tricky to maneuver ... but that was just me.
There is a "task" tab .... just in case you forget ...... but no journal/diary. There is a helper ..... a VERY lovely doll/puppet who can not only go into small places but dark places as well. Pretty darn handy.
As mentioned above, I played both the SE and the CE demos. I DEFINITELY got my personal "wow" factor when the SE ended. The "WHAT????? I want MORE! I HAVE to buy it NOW!" factor. lol.
I recommend this for all levels of difficulty. In case you hadn't figured it out., the CE was a DEFINITE purchase for me. I loved all those collectible dolls. Go figure.
Come with me to the Theatre of Emotions ................. if you dare!
ENJOY!
I recommend this game!

CE Bling:
The usual wallpapers, music, etc. I did not see a reference to a Strategy Guide OR a Bonus Game .... but I DID read 2 reviews. One referenced both the Bonus Game AND the Strategy Guide while the other mentioned the Bonus Game was a necessary evil ....... because THAT'S where the game actually ended. When I read that I was a little perturbed because I felt obligated to purchase the CE. Who wants to play an unfinished game? But, to my great surprise, when I played the SE demo, I missed all the extra dolls I found in the CE! Go figure.
* 11 dolls to locate throughout the game. I read elsewhere we can upgrade them.
* Tokens/coins to find throughout the game. I read that these are used to upgrade the found dolls/puppets.
* A Doll House. You got it! That's where our dolls go to live - lol.

I recommend this for all levels of difficulty. In case you hadn't figured it out., this is a DEFINITE purchase for me. Come with me to the Theatre of Emotions ................. if you dare!
ENJOY!

OMGosh! Where did this game come from .... and WHO really expects us to purchase it?
An older scene ... depicted by the model of the car ..... with 2 people appearing to go antiquing. Nope. They are interested in ........... robbery. Ok. They demand, at gunpoint, that the proprietor of this store "open the safe". He does, a blinding light appears and ..............
Your character is the town's Sheriff, sent out to investigate the robbery gone wrong.
The graphics ..... awful. Some black/white, most very sepia-toned. Very one-dimensional, even with the use of actors. I hope they got paid well. Voice overs .... awful. Clearly the lip syncing did NOT match the mouth movements. Music and Sound fx .... awful. Hmmmm. I detect a pattern here.
There are 2 difficulty levels - casual and hard. YAY! Not. A tutorial, journal that contains notes, clues, etc., a "fingerprint scanner" that doubles as a videotape machine but looks more like a more modern video camera and a crystal. No idea what this crystal does. No map ... No transportable hint button.
You, apparently, will locate a number of videotapes that will help your investigation. During the entire demo, I went back and forth, and forth and back, and back and forth... well .... lots more ..... in/out of 3 rooms. I mean, seriously????
You find a little girl in one of the rooms and give her the crystal. Then, she is ..... ignored. A frightened LITTLE GIRL!!!! Given a crystal that people had DIED over .... and then ignore her. Yeah. Like that.
The HOGs were list type only. One HOG indicated that you needed to "locate the items to fill up the crystal". No list appeared. Guess what???? You're looking for ..... morphing objects! Glad I figured THAT one out. Mini games? Um.....boring. One mini game will definitely be difficult for those with arthritis or hand problems ...... it was long .... longer ..... yeah, I thought it would never end and finally, my hand gave out and I "skipped".
Right off the bat I can tell you this is NOT going to be a purchase for me. Boring, boring, boring .... no entertainment value, boring (did I say that already?) and the storyline made no sense and there was no cohesion between the storyline and all this backtracking through 3 rooms and the items you found, etc.
I do not recommend this game for anyone. Oh, but I DO recommend BFG empty their vault of older games such as this one and have a .... BONFIRE! Bet you thought I was going to say a yard sale - lol lol lol.
Don't waste your time trying the demo. There is absolutely NO reason someone should use an hour of their time with this.
I don't recommend this game.

If you've seen my reviews before, you know that I go into great detail about graphics, music, voiceovers, game play and CE Bling, as well as why I would or would not purchase a game. I have NEVER done this.
I am so ..... shudder shudder ick ick ICK ....... about the extreme OVER - USE of the GOLD and ORANGE crayons that I can't even focus on my many pages of notes!
And there is soooooooooooooo much to do ............. everywhere! Do we REALLY need something to do on every square inch of the game page????
Why is there a token/brooch/whatever that clearly delineates our current century? With the yellow taxis of New York and the tallest of skylines ....... is this a time travel game????
What does that mean in this game? I have that question for a LOT of what I do/find. What does this have to do with the game???? It's so ..... disproportionate to this fairy tale of a kingdom and the sad, sad story. I'd LIKE to find out ...... I'd like to play the entire game out to the end ..... but I get nauseous at the thought of all that ....................... gold and orange color!
I can't recommend such a mishmash of ................ everything but for those who can overlook it.
ENJOY!

An antique mirror, formerly owned by Adam Mort, has been auctioned off and disaster strikes. Your character is Leia Godford (sp?), a Detective specializing in Ominous Objects.
Difficulty: Casual, Advanced, Hard and Custom (where I can manipulate the "hint" and "Skip" buttons down to ................. 1 second!).
The graphics were very well done, although not as great as some games that have come out recently. The music suited each room/scene perfectly. Voice overs were done very well. Each character had a very specific tone and style of speaking. What I disliked ... quite a lot actually ..... was that the .................. lips ............................ never moved. Nor did any other part of the face. YOU try talking with nothing moving on your face. I couldn't do it ...... I tried - lol.
HOGs (hidden object games) were list type with AND without interaction, as well a silhouettes. You can play an alternate Match 3 game instead. The mini games were a breath of fresh air.
Yes, there is a helper. Your character's cat ..... Mr. Jenkins, gets into areas that your character can't. Actually, in some "iffy" places I wouldn't send MY cat ..... if I owned one. There is a diary, of sorts, that has tabs for "Task" and "Kitty Playroom". Special Goggles, which allow you to seee "distortions" in several colors. This was, at times, very frustrating. You choose a color of lens, then move the "shadow" inside the lens to land on the "real" parts. Then, the goggles snap into place and, voila! You have a task to perform! The map is very basic and transportable. As is the "hint" button.
I have to admit to falling asleep a few times. That could either indicate I was very tired (at 9 am) OR the story didn't grab my attention. In fact, although I found myself rather bored, at times, I would recommend this for any experience level because "custom" does allow for some "finagling" of what you can/can't do. If I DO purchase this game, it will be the SE. IMO, this game is sadly lacking in "CE Bling".
For those who are brave enough to get close to these exploding mirrors .....................
ENJOY!
I recommend this game!

Based on both the CE and SE demos.
A young boy is running through the woods .... being pursued by a gang of other youngsters. The gang lets loose some vicious hounds. He hears a dog whimper just a black-cloaked figure takes his hand. You are a Detective sent to Nightsville to investigate the possible kidnapping of this young boy by ................... the owlman ..... who is allegedly terrorizing the town.
The graphics are not the best. Everything just seems so very ............... dark. A LOT of gray-blue scenes. I adjusted the "gamma" to be fairly light but everything is still very ....... gray-blue. I can't imagine what it would look like if I hadn't changed that gradient. The music is nice .... not annoying. Sound effects were amazing ... right down to the lock on a chain falling on the ground. The voice overs could have used some help. It's disconcerting to see lips move while the rest of the face stays immobile. Too much botox going on here???
There are 4 difficulty modes: Casual, Advanced, Hardcore and Custom. The tutorial can be set to "no" tutorial, "Special Features" only or "Full". There is a transportable map which shows where you are and where open tasks are. I must confess .... I did not use the map because the "hint" button transported me as well and I found THAT to be much more quicker. There is an EXTREME amount of back and forthing and forthing and backing among a plethora of locations. Thank goodness for the map AND the "hint" button. The map also has a tab for a Diary. Your helper, Elf (a dog), is back with you from previous games. I'm surprised he sits in your Inventory rather than off to the side.
You are given the "Gift of Sight" which you use frequently. I mean, like, ALL THE TIME. When you activate this "power", you see a different perspective in night vision and put items in their proper place. I disliked the night vision. It wasn't clear what items I needed to replace, what could wait until another time and what I held in my "mini" inventory. Yep. Disliked this. It also appears that you may get more than 1 "power". There is a "Detection" banner. You find 3 items (referred to as "Special Objects") related to the Investigation and then draw a conclusion regarding a specific event related to those 3 items..
The HOGs (hidden object games) varied. I found list items, FRAGS (find various items to put together pieces of an item). I found the FRAGS confusing as the items I needed to find were in no way related to the final item I was putting together. For instance, a smoking pipe has nothing to do with the parts of a power saw. The HOG areas were very dark ---- over use of the gray-blue crayon Devs. I had quite a bit of trouble with
the mini games. For me, the instructions were very unclear.

There is certainly no lack of things to do in this game. But, when the demo ended there was no personal "wow" factor for me .... no "OMG I HAVE to purchase this game!!!".

Great for all levels of expertise.
All in all, after playing BOTH the CE and SE demos, this game is just not for me. It was boring and all the unnecessary backing and forthing!!! I do hope there are others who will ....................
