While I enjoyed this game it was very short. I was done in less than 3 hours. It was almost too easy. Which is saying something because I am very rusty, I haven't played these games in years.
I was enjoying the game and storyline until I almost finished the game. I almost finished because I forgot to pick up an object. Since I missed this object I cannot proceed. I wasted my money and time. The graphics weren't that great either which surprised me considering the history of these games.
I don't recommend this game.

Found: A Hidden Object Adventure
After a crash landing, you find yourself stranded on a secret island. As you explore you will meet pirates, discover ruins and so much more in this thrilling Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure!
I really like this game even though it can be a bit limited. Before playing I recommend people look at the forums to get tips from other players. This will greatly improve the experience. You do not have to buy anything for this game if you are patient. At first I thought you could not get far playing for free but I did not understand the game very well then. The game could use better explanations for what different objects are. It took awhile for me to understand what the red stars and green thunderbolts were. I really like working to complete the quests. I wish there was another game out there like it.

Based on demo: If you aren't familiar with this series they are straight HOGs. In between each HOG scene there are puzzles but they are very easy. You can earn skips for them in case they do get difficult. The scenes are timed but I do not know what happens if you run out of time. If you like challenging HOG scenes this is a game worth trying, especially if you don't want to deal with all the back and forth of adventure HOGs. For people who like achievements, this game has them. This game received 4 stars because it did not wow me. I'm not even sure if I want to purchase it at full price.

This game had potential to be fun but whoever made it did a horrible job. Some of the challenges were incredibly hard only to be followed by one so easy, I had already finished it. A few of the steps were hard to understand. When you need to upgrade your home, it does not tell you how much money you need. You just have to keep going back. I don't know if this was an error or a challenge. At one point they tell you to go sailing at the boat club. You actually need to go to the cruise area. There were a few other things that did not make much sense and bothered me. I found the game boring and silly.
The game was very short. I think I finished in 3 hours. I finished the 1st chapter within my hour demo. There are only 3 chapters and chapter 3 is very short. The puzzles are easy and it is not to hard to figure out what to do next. The locations are not large, so if you are confused there is not much to get lost in. This might be a good game for beginners. I recommend purchasing on sale or with a free credit. Not really worth the full price since it is such a quick game.

I really liked this game. I was wrong about the bad guy completely. It was challenging like all the Nancy Drew games but not to the point that you could not finish it.If you get stuck, you can look the solution up online. Once you find it, you may smack your forehead lol Also the game is not short so you get your money worth. I love how big fish charges only 6.99 for this game.
I recommend this game!

I really liked playing this game. I beat it in a day but I enjoyed it. It was pretty easy but there was one puzzle I was unable to do but I was able to opt out of it. I do not care about points, I just like to finish a game. This would be a great game for kids. You don't have to earn your hints in this game. After you use one you have to wait about 30 seconds before you can ask for a new one. I love that because sometimes I get really stuck and the game does not have to end because of that

I had a lot of fun playing this game. I had to put myself to bed towards the end because I was having so much fun and did not want to stop. I loved the story line and all of the voice acting. This is usually the type of stories I like to read. Dahlia was such a fun character, you can tell she comes from Harris's mind. I was kind of confused about the mini games in the HOGs. Maybe I need to find a guide that will point them out to me because I only found the first one. The other types of mini games were pretty easy, a little too easy for me. I think the only one I skipped was the pig one. The HOG scenes were pretty easy also and I did not use the hint button too often. The real challenge of the game was what to do next and where to go next. I think that took up most of my time. I wish I had more of a choice when to use the vampire powers in the game. I think I have seen that in other vampire games. The music got pretty annoying for me. I had to turn it completely off. I can't wait for the sequel to be released. I hope it won't be a year.
