Wow! I'm only in the first chapter, but so far, this is one of the greatest games I've ever played...and I've played a lot! The graphics are amazing, first of all. The music is subtle and not annoying. I don't pay too much attention to the storylines, so I can't comment on that. There are lots of little games and puzzles that are fun, challenging, and unique. But what I like the most was the challenge factor. It is quite difficult, which I love!! If you are wanting a relaxing, mindless game, this is not for you. I also love the morphing objects and other objects to find in the CE. I usually play the game through without worrying about finding objects in each scene, then I go back and play the game again finding all the objects. Another great game, Mad Head!! Would love to see more games like this!!
I recommend this game!

Mystery Case File games have always been my favorite, for the challenge, length, and graphics. Based on the demo, this game fell short of my expectations. Even on the hardest level, it was too easy. There is entirely too much talking, which had me frustrated, and the storyline had me confused. The graphics are amazing, though, and the game appears to be quite long. See for yourself...but I think I will wait for the next edition of MCF games.
I don't recommend this game.

Wow, this time management game surpasses all the rest with it's incredible graphics! This is what I've been looking for! I am also impressed with it's ease of use. The instructions are very clear and concise. The game moves with ease, and the story line is pretty cute. I have enjoyed playing this game over and over! I look forward to Cateia developing more games like this! I will definitely buy again.

Wow, I didn't really expect much with the reviews that were posted, but I absolutely loved this game! Mind you, I own and have played probably close to 75 HOG and Adventure games, so I have a lot to compare to. This had everything I look for in a game. It had plenty of hidden object scenes, lots of fun puzzles (that weren't too difficult, but fun), lots of different areas to cover, and the graphics were very nice. Oh, and the game was very very long! I don't pay too much attention to the storyline, so I can't tell you much about that. They all seem to be either crime or sci-fi mythical themes, so I just enjoy the adventure. Thanks so much, ERS games!!
I recommend this game!

I absolutely loved this game! It was extremely challenging, and that's what I was looking for! I have played so many HOG's and wanted something a little harder. And if you want a game that is long, this one's it! Playing in "hardcore" mode, I can't even tell you how many hours I spent on this game..i would guess 7 - 8 hours. There was a time or two that I switched to "advanced" to get some hints. The story line was very interesting and unique. The puzzles and hidden object games were-a-plenty and not too difficult. There were many, many rooms and areas to explore. It just kept going and going! No surprise that Elephant Games developed this. They are truly the best! Well worth the money for this game!

This is a fast-paced game. You can click and pick up quickly. The hidden object puzzles are very simple, and items are easy to locate. Unfortunately, the graphics aren't of the highest quality. I don't normally pay attention to the music, but in this case, I noticed right off that it didn't match up with the game. If you are new to hidden object games, this is a good fit for you. You won't know what to compare it to. For the experienced gamers, keep looking.. you'll most likely be disappointed.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoyed this game! I've played 100's of HOG's, and this one really caught my attention. The graphics were amazing, the music was gripping (which I usually hate), and the storyline was interesting. I typically "skip" past the story part, but because the game was so fun, I didn't want to miss a thing. There were lots of fun and unusual puzzles, but not too difficult. I have played more challenging games, but it was nice to play a game where I didn't have to backtrack so much. When I found an item, I usually knew right where it went. I recommend you play on "expert" level, otherwise it will be way too easy. Excellent game! Looking forward to more games from this developer!

I really loved this game! There were many many areas to explore. It is a very long game, so well worth your money. I thought the graphics were amazing, and the storyline was a little different. There were lots of puzzles and some hidden object scenes. Most of the puzzles were fairly easy. The only negative would be that it has a map that tells you where to go next. I would rather investigate and figure things out myself. But even with this map, it still took me several hours to finish. I loved it!

I have played hundreds of HOG over the years, and this one tops them all. First of all, it is very long, so well worth your money. It's state-of-the-art technology is impressive. The storyline is engaging, and the graphics are top notch. The puzzles were different, fun and the difficulty level was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and highly recommend it!

I have played lots of HOG's, and this one was excellent!! It has many many different scenes, and is a very long game. It has lots of puzzles and hidden object scenes. Some puzzles a bit challenging and had to skip. I don't usually pay too much attention to storylines, so I couldn't really tell you if the story was any good. I just enjoy the games! I was entertained for many hours with this one.
