I enjoyed this game. Some good puzzles and a nice story. But don't buy the Collector's Edition. There is a morphing object and a collectible in each scene and they are really easy to find, so that doesn't add much. Also, the extra game play is super short. Use your points and get the regular version.
I recommend this game!

I purchased to support new developer with some new ideas. I enjoyed many of the games and the HOPs were a bit different. I hope that my purchase and others can support developer to put in more effort in future and have a bit better quality. Also, is it my imagination or do the characters kind of go back and forth between cockney and posh accents?
I recommend this game!

Clever puzzles and HOs are fun

I enjoyed this game because the puzzles are challenging and the HOs are clever. I prefer HOs that have a different option such as Match 3 in case you need it, but these do not. One minor drawback was that a couple of the objects were duplicated in a scene. Like the list says "feather" and there is more than one feather but it only counts if you click on the correct one. I hate that. It shows me a lack of attention to detail that I expect. However, this one gets a good rating mostly because all of the others that I have played in the past couple of months have really sucked! LOL
I recommend this game!

So, I played all the way through. I'm pretty easy to please, so I kept hoping that one mini-game or one HOP would help redeem this game. It never did. The graphics are dismal, the HOPs typical, the mini-games just busy work. Not one clever thing happened. I don't expect a ton, but one or two challenges are nice. Don't buy this. If you want to play it, do not splurge for the Collector's Edition. It's just not worth it.
I don't recommend this game.

I am enjoying the story. Is it as engrossing as some of the others? Maybe not, but it is still fun. I like the multi-step puzzles and the varied HOP styles.
I recommend this game!

This game is not good. I play a lot of these. A lot!
This one is confusing, disjointed, and unplayable. I can't pick up the baby doll and the hint just keeps saying to "look elsewhere." I tried to find a forum for tips, but no luck. I see another reviewer here ran into the same issue. Games instructions are not clear, the cursor obscures objects that you have to pick up because they are too tiny, then you don't know what to do with it because you have no idea what you are holding.
Too frustrating to be fun. Give it a miss.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is only ok, unless you get the CE. Then it becomes really fun. The extra stuff to look for makes all the difference. Also, the Bonus Game is one of the longest that I've seen. Go for the CE. I give it 5 stars.
I don't recommend this game.

I really liked the story in this game. The puzzles were fun and the HOPs good. I like finding the morphing objects in them as well. But the story itself was actually engaging. That is unusual. I especially enjoyed how the stages of grief were brought to life. Get the Collector's Edition for an especially happy ending.
I recommend this game!
