I will be quick with what i would have loved to see in the game: a map.
Apart from that, I loved everything about the game: the fact that you have to work out for yourself what the tasks are, the fact that the puzzles are really challenging, the fact that the story-line in itself is not novel (many movies have had similar plots) doesn't prevent you from enjoying the journey as a player with a great twist at the end...that I loved.
Also all the tasks made sense, you do not suddenly have an odd object in the room just for the sake, all items to find are logical items of it like in many other games, I mean for instance you do not have a live white rabbit in a frozen lab who is hungry and whose carrot would be perched on top of a lampshade or something daft like that.

I must confess I got the game via a coupon after playing the demo and it delivered.
I really enjoyed playing it: the characters were fun in their interaction, I liked the fact you switched between the characters to complete the adventure it makes it a bit more interesting, the storyline was good and for the next one I would make the following changes:
- have the mini puzzles a bit more challenging
- the dialogues shorter between the characters
As the game is rather short I am glad it was not a CE, keeping it standard gives value for money.

I must say that is one of the best nonograms I have ever played on BF: when I clicked the hard mode preference I was not expecting some real challenge!
I absolutely loved it, well done for releasing such a great quality nonogram :)

Just finished the demo: Windows 7/ hard mode/windows screen/sound off
Well, I liked the story line and the variety of tasks; unfortunately neither the tasks nor the mini games were challenging enough and I felt frustrated.
The demo was pleasant but didn't entice me to buy the CE.
I would say this would be an ideal game for (complete) beginners so they can grasp a feel for that category of games and enjoy the experience, and because of that I am recommending this game

I played in "hard mode" and managed gold on all levels, I didn't find all the secret treasures though.
I liked the game because it was fun and the levels were really challenging from the start, that kept me going and through a series of trials and errors, you can get there at the end.
Actually most of the fun was to find the correct sequence of events that would allow me to achieve the best time.

I would say that this game is more strategy than time management, although one doesn't go without the other.
I like the fact that you have to think through your moves first before tackling the tasks.
Very good challenges, great fun,the storyline is a tad repetitive but hey...what I would like to see as an improvement would be if the characters (doctors, firemen, sick patients, thieves etc.) had more charisma, looked funnier or mischievous.
Altogether a very good game that I am recommending without reservation!

I have played all the games in that series and followed suit with that one.
I play in hard mode and for me the fun is about to beat the developer's score on all levels which I did and I must say it gave me a good run for my money, that was the enjoyable part.
Graphics were good, storyline was ok etc.
What would really be an incentive for me to purchase this series in CE next time is if I had the impression I was getting value for money: all the other time management games on CE have an extra chapter or something like that, here all I got was some awful wallpaper...I thought it was rather insulting, so yes I recommend this game but wait for the standard edition!

I loved the original game and I had great fun playing it and...I was so looking forward to this one. Just played the demo and I am just annoyed: why on earth having cinematic whilst playing a level?
Not only it doesn't make sense, but it doesn't add anything to the game, nor the pleasure of playing the game and in fact it is very counter productive: it is just a distraction you don't need when you choose to play at very high level "Professional/insane" mode.
I am a huge fan of TM games and I must say this is the worst one for the last 12 months or so...shame really, and for the first time ever I will not recommend a Time Management game :(

It is going to get easy for that sort of game to review in the future as everything is so over-recycled all I need to do is copy and paste: so played 15mn demo on Windows 7 with sound off .
So what do I get in "hard" level, yes our old friend, the usual suspects: first let me introduce you to the "carriage" hoorray...then, the "town gates" wey hey; of course let us not forget the wooden board in front of the gates, plus the bag conveniently placed on the ground not far from the carriage, followed by the mini-puzzle with gears..wowwwwwwwwww, what a treat (the challenge level was fit for 5 years old)! Then you just unlock the gates and who is there? Yesss, our old friend, the inn/hotel/tavern keeper ahhhhhhhhhhhh..bliss!
Than I stopped: enough of that! That was a dire gaming experience proposed by the developers, and BF members my recommendation is to keep your money for worthy games!

I just adored that game, did the beta version and bought it as soon as it was released, everything about this game screams quality!
First I must say the graphics are the best: the characters are fun to watch moving, attention was given to details with my fav the little burger with fangs, not very PC nowadays with the results of the WHO but so much fun to watch all of them in action, Dracula and his servant are fun, Dracula looks a bit like the British actor Hugh Grant and his servant looks suitably aloof and blasé.
Second, I loved the storyline, nothing sppoky apart from a very old story of a girl chasing the boy and the princess is after Dracula big time and with his servant they have to go through many adventures to escape the fate of a union, hahahaha, reminds me of some people in real life.
Third the challenges are awesome and give me a run for my money so well done on that score to the developers, at last a worthy game.
Just love it, I wish they were plenty more of these
