This game has a fascinating storyline with some great surprises. The music is great and the graphics are clear and attractive. As a bonus, all settings can be downloaded for wallpaper. There are lots and lots of HO scenes, some containing quaint, old-fashioned items. This is a very enjoyable, long-lasting game – worth buying.

This is a well-made game with a great storyline based on the nineteenth century book by Robert Louis Stevenson. There’s a bonus section where you can practice or replay the puzzles in the game. The graphics are clear and the music is very good; just spooky enough to fit the story and yet relaxing, too... This game is great for its size, and even though it is a small game, I’m glad I found it!

. There were so many unusual and strange events connected to the Titanic and this game keeps you excited to read the next anecdote or coincidence. The puzzle games are randomly either very easy or very difficult. There is a terrific storyline with some romance. The graphics are nice. and the HO scenes are clear and, while perhaps a little too easy...still fun. I bought this as soon as the trial ended, because I didn’t want to stop playing. Just an all around good, interesting game.

I love this game...and you will, too. After so many dark and otherworldly games, it’s nice to play one that is bright and cheery.
The idea is to earn money to repair and redecorate the undersea orphanage to prevent its takeover by a ruthless barracuda. The graphics are clean and crisp, and you can zoom out and move around to see the entire grounds.
Lots and lots of HO scenes that are challenging but not frustrating, and each scene is included as bonus wallpaper. The dialogue is hilarious with puns and plays on words. The music is relaxing, and the minigames are interesting and well done.
It’s a long game and it’s very replayable. All in all, definitely worth buying...and did I say I love this game?

The graphics are absolutely gorgeous, and as a bonus you get all the lovely scenes as wallpaper. It’s in the style of a classic HO but with the added fun of sprucing up the castle and grounds in preparation for a magic conference. There are many HO scenes, plus hidden gems, etc., to find, and lots of funny dialogue. It has good minigames that, as an extra feature, you can revisit. This is a wonderfully long and enjoyable game!

When I first downloaded this game, I wasn't impressed and thought I wouldn't like it. But I took time to experiment with the settings, which go far beyond just layouts and tile sets. There are adjustments for size, slant, shadowing, and more. You can even choose from several music tracks (try Magic Moon). So check it out again; it's worth it. When you've customized this game to your own personal preferences, you will not want to stop playing it!
