typical M3 game. match objects to gain coins to decorate a tree and the fireplace and the chair and the mantle. there are 80 levels and you have to use some strategy sometimes to get the coins to drop off the bottom of the board. you need to uncover all the squares and unlock blocks but as long as the locked blocks don't have to be uncovered you don't need to worry about them, but they are usually positioned where you have to unlock them to get the level finished. there is a timed or untimed option. you win stars in the timed option and i played untimed so i can't tell you anything about that.
I recommend this game!

Eventide: Slavic Fable
Experience an authentic Slavic legend! Save the creatures from destruction!
you are needed to help with a moss that is changing the people into into elves/gnomes. they are hoping since you are a botanist that you can help them take care of the evil person that wants to change the world. he feeds on the despair of the people. your grandma helps you to fight the guy by telling you about the fern flower that you need but you have to heal it before it will do you any good. 3 regular levels of play. no custom but the HO scenes are interactive and different kinds. the map is interactive but a little hard to read because it only takes to the general area. you have to hunt to find what you need or where to go or use another hint. i don't know about a sequel. thought they may have been giving a clue about one at the end. the hints and skips do recharge pretty fast. you don't have to wait long.
i thoroughly enjoyed this game. it didn't have the annoying number of cards to get and you could get crystals to build the buildings at you own pace with no penalties!!!!!! very relaxing. it took me a little over 11 hours to finish it but i so enjoyed it. i get so tired of having to plays levels over and over again to get the minimum number like so many other solitaire games. i highly recommend it unless you want a great challenge. you do have to use strategies with the cards! it will take a while but i had fun!!!
After being contacted by a secret organization of elite mystery solvers, you're sent out in the field to prove your skills. This job interview may be your last!
there is a custom level and an interactive map. you are trying out for the curio society after getting a mysterious message to report somewhere. you get help from a woman. she is also from the curio society and you are working together to find out who is behind the destruction. you have a light canon gun that can destroy the gargoyles and it gets charged by loading it with moon lenses. she has another type of gun that uses crystals. sequel....the way it ended i am fairly sure!!
there is a custom level and a map. it is visually strange and intense at times. gave me the heebie jeebies a few times and i am used to these kinds of games. alistair dalimar is back and trying to take over the world again. he is just as evil as before but in this one a whole city rises out of the sea. this wasn't as good a game as the ones that have come before it. sequel.......of course!!!! it is still a good game, but i was a little disappointed.
it is not a bad game at all but as it goes on it gets in to logic puzzles that i just can't deal with. it is not a bad game and i would recommend it for others, but not for logic challenged people like me. i did change the review title because i didn't want to drive people away from the game. others liked it a lot!!!!! this is just a me thing
I recommend this game!

Redemption Cemetery: The Island of the Lost
You crash-land on an island populated by ghosts. Like them, are you trapped here forever?
there is an interactive map. the hints are a little slower than what i am used to but no big deal. mini games were hard for me but that is nothing new. you are looking for a ghost monster that is collecting souls and feeding off their despair. will there be a sequel......i feel sure. this series has many and i recommend all of them.

what can murder people and turn their bodies to ashes?
there are 3 levels of play. no custom but a really good map that uses teleportation to get from one point to another when necessary. a man that was on death row was going to be electrocuted and at the last minute the only thing left was his black and white prison uniform. the jail personnel had no idea what happened. 5 years later you are called in on a murder investigation after quite a few men have been murdered but no one can understand how they have been murdered and turned into ashes. you found out that the ones being murdered are the ones that were at the execution. there wasn't but 3 left and you are trying to save them by finding out the secret of the "electric man". i really enjoyed this game. it reminded me of a book i read called "the blue nowhere" by jeffery deavers that had a simiiar premise. get it if you like paranormal and unbelievable things. sequel....i feel sure since this is one.
I recommend this game!

Death and Betrayal in Romania: A Dana Knightstone Novel
Can you escape from the grasp of a lovestruck ghost?
there is no custom level, but 3 other levels to play. an interactive map and the hint system employs teleportation. didn't listen to music so i don't know about that. you are playing as journalist dana knighstone that is on her way to a book signing and gets stranded near an old, haunted castle. you are asked by the ghost to help him settle and get his love back to him and you both find out things that surprise him. he thinks at the beginning that you are his love and continues in that vein for most of the game. i got a little confused with the different characters but that is a me thing and not the fault of the game. it is a decent length. i finished in 5 hours and 40 minutes. i used the hints a lot and skips a lot so it would be longer if you didn't do that. there seems to be more dana knightstone games as you go along. i liked this one and they are pretty nice to play
custom level and map and a good hint system that takes you where you need to be. find out why puss in boots stole the christmas star. without it santa can't deliver the toys to all the children. puss in boots is stealing things from people and no one knows why. i don't want to ruin the story so that is all i will say. sequel........probably another adventure
