Played 35 minutes, casual, always do for a demo
- 3 modes, casual, advanced, hardcore
- Integrated SG which only shows 2 chapters in the sample
- Voice overs
- Notebook
- Shortly after starting the game you get an interactive map
- Throughout the game you'll have to find 25 morphing creatures
- 80 whale bones to find too
- All morphing objects and items can be find at the end of the SG
- You get achievements, not skipping a mini game, finishing it in a short time, no hint in H0s, etc....
- Hint is extremely useful outside H0s, not only shows you the way but the action to perform
- H0, you interact
- Good mini games, not too difficult up to what I have played
- Gorgeous graphics
- Very good music and background sounds
Excellent, creepy story. You have left Pilgrim's Hook very young when your twin brother stayed, it was scaring you. Years later your brother calls you, he's in great trouble, you, of course, head to the island to rescue him. Could hardly wait to exit the game to buy it, this looks like a great game, thanks devs.
I recommend this game!

Played 20 minutes, casual
- 3 modes, casual, expert, hardcore

- Journal
- Interactive map showing areas of interest
- Amulet part where you store important items found
- Journal
- Interactive map showing areas of interest
- Amulet part where you store important items found
- Animals from the previous game (whale, dolphin, etc...) follow you to your new location
- H0s, you interact, items not too easy to find sometimes
- Mini games not over difficult up to what I played
- Beautiful graphics
- Good music
Your twin sister is on the loose again and is trying to harm your people. Phoenix takes you to the island where they live... up to you to fight evil again. This looks like a good beautiful game. I've loved the first Empress, less the second one (and so many sparkles in this one if I remember well), I hope this one will be up to the standards of the first one. Most probably a buy for me.
I recommend this game!

Played 35 minutes, casual
- 3 modes, casual, advanced, master of investigation, you can swap mode while playing
- Trophies to get
- Integrated SG which n¡only shows 3 chapters in the sample
- Diary with information + clues and suspects
- No map
- Throughout the game you collect gold coins
- A cute fennec, fox from the desert, follows you around
- You collect more hints by finding fans in H0 or anywhere around

- Good mini games, regular ones
- Very good graphics
A woman's husband is murdered, you investigate as a detective (action takes place in Spain). Unfortunately you get an assistant that keeps popping up every five minutes to tell you silly, obvious things and he is dressed in such ridiculous, horrible clothes. The mere sight of his tie is enough to make you sick ! I'm very unsure about this game, will wait, definitely no straight buy.
