after 90 min, my head hurt. Some of the content was difficult for me to figure out and I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. Used the hint button a lot. Story content was great, and it was so nice to finally play a game without all the doom and gloom but I will have to revisit this game later and try to decide if I want to muddle through. I tend not to like minigames and there was a lot. You will have to decide yourself if this is worth buying. Can't recommend this game yet.
I don't recommend this game.

I think this would have been a good game, but too find the objects, especially ones hidden in shadows was too difficult for my old eyes. After about 15 minutes, I uninstalled the game. Too frustrating. If you have great eyesight, this might be a good game for you.
I don't recommend this game.

I had almost finished my 60 min going into room after room of hidden objects and never really got into the game to find out if there was a story. It would have been better if a glimpse of a story were there before having to do this. Not worth the money, even with a code to get 60% off if it takes that long to find out if there is a plot.

Played the intro before purchasing, then forgot I had purchased it. Attempted to play today, and it is definitely not as I remembered it. Way too many puzzles. I am odd person out, as I love hidden objects and hate puzzles; and I don't like being timed. I play for relaxation. Even after choosing casual mode, I find I am being timed. Right then, I feel stressed and have no fun. If I am stuck on a puzzle, then I keep watching that clock. Hate this game.
I don't recommend this game.

After playing for an hour, decided against buying it. Maybe if it were a bogo, but just kept using the hint button majority of time. No rhyme or reason to what comes next; just back and forth, back and forth. My hint finger is tired.
I don't recommend this game.

after straining my eyes for about 10 or 15 min, I uninstalled.
Too tiring for these old eyes. When you keep staring and can't tell what the objects are, the 'ol eyes get tired and dry and then you just want to give up and go to bed.

Expected it to be more interesting. Did not particularly like the puzzles. Story was boring and really needed more hidden objects. Just wanted it to be over. Silly story.
I don't recommend this game.

great visuals, good story, bad, silly ending. Had to use hints more than other games because there was no natural progression to the story. Just didn't find it entertaining.
I don't recommend this game.
