I'm totally enjoying the Donna Brave Series! The Graphics are off the charts, I'm a sucker for good Art, quite stunning!! The Story intriguing.
Your friend received a plant as a Gift, or was it revenge? As this plant has matured into a living tree with poison deadly enough to take lives, and now your friend, Kathi, is in danger and seeks your help. This Sweet poor little rich girl's friends aren't very fond of her, and could care less that she is in dire need for her life, but wouldn't mind her possessions...so if you want your investigation to run smooth, you have to do them favors....but you don't have time to put them in their place, but save Kathi and her family, so you cater their whims in order to get clues...If you have enemies they have to try and bring you down some way, instead of drinking or eating tainted food, the evil-doers find new and clever ways to destroy people without being found out...WHY NOT the Poisonous 'TREE' way, huh?

...but that's what makes the story kinda fun, almost like in the real world, you have haters. So, as for this HOG, it's very interactive.... the whole point of finding things and putting them together and saving the World. This is a total buy for me.
I recommend this game!

I was hesitant on playing Danse Macabre, I do love all the games they put out, but the reviews kept me away, BUT I changed my mind and so glad I did. Based on the Demo, The Graphics are improved and astounding! Love the scenes, they're a Beauty. Storyline was very cool, it kept me intrigued. Not all stories are the same, different degrees of fun and emotional and suspenseful. I enjoy relaxing while I play, never want to be in a rush. This was not a hard game but it was fun, very interactive...there's a ghost with his/her shenanigans, a little cheesy at times, up to No good. Set in an Opera house with the players involved, being kept from performing by a vengeful Ghost. It's a buy for me, I have got to see how it ends. Like I said, Graphics are beautiful and it's very colorful, mini games are well done, not hard or frustrating. HOPs are totally interactive and fun for a change!! I'm not a big fan of intense clutter, but hidden object games have come a long way, so interactions are a Plus. Never a dull moment. I totally Recomment this Game. Enjoy!!
I recommend this game!

My review short and sweet! EXCELLENT rendition of Beauty and the Beast, only with a sordid twist, based on the demo. You've been invited to your Cousin Leo's Wedding, that goes awry, of course, that's the Beauty of HOGames. While trying to save bleeding victims and saving people, you just have to stop along the way, to sew a quilt and make cookies...just being facetious!..but that's the satire part of these games. Okay, I was totally engaged, especially admiring the scenes along the way... Awesome story, Incredible graphics!! Truly a Beauty!! Very interactive, and never a dull moment! It's a BUY!! My Hats off to the Developers!!
I recommend this game!

Not enough reviews from those who have enjoyed this hidden object game. I for one, based on the demo, kept my interest. The Graphics are outstanding! This game if very interactive, just as other games, it can be fun and sometimes tedious. I've been playing HOS since they were only objects plastered all over the page, so I welcome most of these with good story lines. Just like other games, my hats off to those who have put these stories together and emerse in the graphics, mini games, etc. So regardless of the 'sad' reviews, this game really is enjoyable. Everyone plays for the different reasons, some love the difficult play for the challenge and endorphin rush, some like, myself love the challenge of games and putting my mind to work. I also share this with my grandchildren, and they learn to put things together, where as they normally wouldn't do in reall life, but now they think they can think better for themselves so this is good. Okay, I enjoyed it and had fun!!
I recommend this game!

In spite of some low reviews, if you are into Match 3 with time management games, this one is FUN, as you progress through levels, it's does not get easier, after playing Demo...I was anxious to finish a level, but the match 3, clear pictures, gets hard to see 3 matching, because the food products are close in color and/or size, and I became anxious to find matches, they're there, but that is the challenge. It is NOT hard, just challenging when it comes to beating the clock, which makes it fun, so I had to buy, just to meet the challenges. You not only serve your customers their food orders, but you have a totally different section, where customers order dessert, not match 3, and it is fun, Fun FUN! There is a kitchen where you will have HOS with a zoom in button, not hard, you just got to scope around...I loved it. Graphics are nice and comfortable, you get to buy and upgrade recipes, vegetables. I could go on but you will enjoy a great match 3, time management Game. Just try!
I recommend this game!

Inspite of some negative reviews, I was curious of the story line according to the positive reviews. Normally when some comment on how boring a game is, I won't bother to play it. Somehow I lose interest quickly, but the positive reviews caught my attention, I just had to try it. So glad I did. This is not bad, a no brainer, but interesting. I just have to see where the story goes. Lots of interaction which I prefer over HOPS, which by the way aren't eye straining. I totally enjoyed the graphics, beautifully done. The Music is mystically mysterious, and enjoyable. I just thought I should put my two cents. Have fun!!
I recommend this game!

I love a good hidden object game, this was a little much when it came to the HOG's, some easy finds and others too blended in. Mini games were cool and easy, but fun. The game was a little slow, in spite of the comments on the cut out characters, I liked them. Not every game needs to be 3-d-ish, and I liked the style of this game, and the story kept me intriqued, curious though of how it ends, I'm just not looking forward to the HOG in this game.
I recommend this game!

First off, i really liked the graphics, dark because it's sets the mood of eeriness, not intense eery, but almost and the scenes were very clear which I thought was very cool. The story is interesting, as the HOG were pretty easy and fun because it didn't give me a headache trying to find things in the dark. The HOG didn't look like a pile of junk which can be destracting, and I could get through the story quicker. Lots of different interactions with cool and not too hard mini games. This demo was good and it ended too fast for me. I'd like to get this game and see how the story ends...

I so loved this game, love the graphics, beautiful scenery, very interactive, HO's not frustrating, had to look to SG a few times. Great Storyline, kept me interested. I've got to rescue my friend from ghostly pirates, can't wait to see how it ends, it's got my curiosity.
