Love this game. I couldn't believe it when my hour was up. It is definitely not a HOG - so far only a couple of scenes where it was "find 6 of this or 10 of that".
Lots of puzzles which are not too difficult to figure out but take some time and patience to finish. Haven't had to skip one yet.
The music and sound are very well done as is the scenery.
The storyline is pretty basic and so far has not had much impact on the game.
The only criticism is that some scene changes are slow to load but this is not really a big deal.
So far it is a rather slow paced game and for my brain power on the day after Christmas it is perfect.
I highly recommend this game if you like lots of puzzles. Be sure to give it a try.
I recommend this game!

Decided to try this game in spite of all the bad reviews and am glad that I did. I too was not impressed at first and was almost ready to quit when I had to stop after 30 mins. When I returned later I approached it with a more relaxed attitude and began to really enjoy it. Many of the criticisms are quite valid such as long scene shifts and the inability to change the cursor. However, I found the puzzles quite fun even though there does not seem to be a skip option (this is not a bad thing as it makes a senior brain work harder). It is definitely not a fast paced game but a certain amount of thinking is involved. Not sure if I will buy now as it sounds as if it is not too long but, will put it on the list for a DD or other sale. Definitely give it a try and make up your own mind.
I recommend this game!

Love this game. The graphics are clear and bright. Music is appropriate - not too creepy or repetitive. Story is a grabber and made me want to see it to the end. HOs are not too cluttered and items are fairly easy to find. Puzzles not difficult - could be more challenging, but this after only the demo which I finished in less than an hour. Really liked that Lynn is a real child and especially liked the little guy in the box and the doorknob - hope there is more of this. Overall, a really fun game so far and am off to buy.
I recommend this game!

One of the worst M3s I have ever played. The cursor is clumsy and, the fact that you must wait until all tiles have fallen before you can move again make it very frustrating. I am surprised it was even offered by BFG.
I don't recommend this game.
