not impressed at all, hated the pop up circles to find things, i bought "treasure seekers" editions, with this kind of search and find, and i rarely play them.
initially i thought it rather tiresome, but the farther i progressed i began to enjoy it. previous previews has said everything i would have said, so pointless repeating it. a good game but would have liked it to be longer, though it was not overly short mind you. scenery/graphics very good.

NOT REALLY CHALLENGING ENOUGH FOR ME, BUT A GOOD GAME NEVERTHELESS, HINT BUTTON CAN GUIDE YOU NEARLY ALL THE WAY, AND THIS IS WHAT PUT ME OFF, BUT I'M SURE MANY OF YOU WILL LIKE IT, WORTH A TRIAL I'D SAY

repetitious, very similar to the former, so no joy in that. quality voice overs sound and graphics. same old visits to a previous ho scene within the game would have liked more originality. i got bored with this game. ok for newbies though.

liked it very much, but the graphics were bad, and very hard to make out the items, this caused me quite a bit of eye strain! Having said this, it's still a sweet game for us romantic ladies to enjoy,
once starting the game, and got to the safety of the cavern, my cursor could not move and the scene spun round and round each time i moved it. could not access the menu button or anything to exit the game not even when i pressed escape, in the end i have to totally shut down my imac, and then the inconvenience of signing in etc etc. i found this crude game a nightmare
I don't recommend this game.

bought it 2011, but pc crashed and I got an imac, so could not use the game, its has both light & dark scenes of the same places, u travel back & forth from the mirror image of the other, where usually you'll find what u need in the here and now. lovely graphics, and I particularly like that most is spoken in an English accent, which is concise; being a brit I find American difficult to understand all of whats said, so this is very helpful, its a lengthy game so u get your moneys worth. hint button useful for guiding u to specific places, tho there is a map where you can see where more work is required, & can click on it to get there, both of which is helpful. ive not quite completed it, so cant give you more info, anyway I don't want too spoil the game for u. i'm using parralell software so I can play all the games I bought, and not yet! available for a Mac. Enjoy
on downloading i opened up the trial demo, only too find that the cursor was invisible, so had too click around untill i hit the menu tab, then click around again to change the cursor so that the the game, (usually once this is done i get a visible cursor) but not this time, frustrating/time consuming so anyone wishing to buy it before they trial beware. do test it on your iMAC 1st, ive OSX 10.7.3 Good luck this game should be updated but the programmers do take their time about it.
