Had already played the CE and now played SE. I chose to buy the CE because of the strategy guide and bonus.
When Amber arrives at the piano teacher's home, in Everlake, a mysterious masked, who intends to do the "perfect show" at the puppet theater, takes her... and, as the game progresses, you realize that other 3 children have disappeared too!
Very compelling story, developed with great care - linear plot, crisp graphics, cutscenes with real people (but sometimes seem puppets! Incredibly well designed#, interesting characters, great VO, many different locations, and some are cute and colorful, the playground for exemple. The sound is very pleasant and calm.
It has two levels of difficulty. It has a journal, which also contains tasks. Proper amount of interactive HOS, average challenging. Several excellent mini games, some good challenge, and even if some of them seems easy #like "to feed animals”#, when playing, you realize that is not so simple! There are others easier - like the theater scenes, yet fun. In addition, 55 theater masks should be collected over the game. #I love when we have to collect things).
Only three negative points: - Excess of "move things away to find an object". - No map. - A lot of back and forth. However, do not change quality and enjoyment of this game.

Help solve the mystery of the murder of three women!
Outstanding cutscenes, very convincing VO, compelling story, perfect graphics, great animation and soundtrack, gorgeous locations, colorful and neat in details.
Three modes of play, and you can change levels even during the game. Two kinds of HOS: find 10 of the same type (hammer, chains, etc, and some you have to assemble before) or objects by the shape (and also are interactive - finding an object, leads to another object). Mini games different from the usual, such as the Scarecrow, entertaining but not very challenging. Hint also different: instead of "fill", you will finding peacock feathers in the game, and each one is a hint. In addition you have to collect coins, with which you will buy tools at the shop, and, of course, the pages of the diary of the killer. A highly well developed game, with many many things to do. Will certainly holds your interest and curiosity!
I recommend this game!

Story Mode: Waves mixed sea objects (seahorse, shells and fragments of statues) in the sand and you have to find timely, if not the wave returns and mix once again. When you find all the fragments, has a mini game.
Arcade Mode: Increases the amount and the objects are much smaller.
Neither the game nor the mini games are challenging, but it's cute. No emotions or major attractions. The music and the sound of the waves are very relaxing. A game for when you do not want to think, just to entertain
Reveal the twisted plan of a deranged magician who has his own Vendetta against the world! And uncover a secretive world of magicians and discover the power they have held and passed down through the centuries!
The game is well developed, with an interesting story - monuments are disappearing, and Damien LeStrange - the world greatest magician - made that. The graphics are very good, the music is appropriate, has good VO. It has map and journal. HOS with good visibility, not really interactive (just open luggage to find something, for example).Mini games are the usual, but fun. Does not bring much new, but it's well done, colorful, with plenty to do and many places to explore. A unpretentious game , not very challenging, but relaxing and entertaining.

Silly game, can not arouse curiosity or desire to keep playing ... Story is not bad, but without VO, without motion or animation... discourages! Excess of HOS, and are not well made . Some objects are too small ... is boring. Tools on the way can only be caught after appearing where it will be used. Tutorial appears all the time, even in hard mode. I gave up after 20 minutes

The cutscene at the beginning is really appealing, and features an outstanding movie, with real people, excellent VO, and an always interesting topic - the philosopher's stone! The story is well developed, great calm sound and crisp graphics, which provides a very good look. Cutscenes are quite interesting, and some even cause a shiver, especially when the character's eyes are closer. The game holds you till the end!
Interactive HOS, average challenge, but hint fills very quickly. Hint helps throughout the game too, not just in the HOS.
Some mini games already very familiar and easy, as "light all the fuses" .. but also has new ones - a bit more difficult.
There's some back and forth, but the locations are close. It has a journal, and helps in having to go back to see "tips", etc..
A new breed of virus has spread throughout the City of Oxford. You must search the city for a missing girl who holds the key to stopping the global epidemic!

Caught me from the beginning: cutscene shows the city infected by a virus. Two twins are hospitalized but only one survives. However, she disappeared, and she is the only key to the cure !
The configuration options already shows the excellent level of development. You can choose: - Skip tutorial and help texts - The speed of filling hint - Display - Quality (slower or faster computers) - Three modes of play
Great graphics, nice sound, impressive atmosphere, many locations with plenty to do. It has map and journal. Good amount of HOS really interactive - each object found helps to find another. Some mini games are not really challenging, like killing bees or rotate circles to make a figure. Others, despite known, are difficult, as to turn on light bulbs. It has 8 chapters + bonus. An immersive game that provides excellent enjoyment and entertainment! Highly recommended!

Current games are so well developed, with special effects and stories that hold the player's attention. This game looks like the old-fashioned, when there were not many resources.
- Cutscene from the beginning has no sound or VO. - Graphics are not very sharp, the soundtrack is weak - just the sounds of footsteps, wind and sound games. - Only one level of difficulty and has sparkles. - No map, but it has a journal. - Each HOS has only one interactive item, they are not difficult and hint fills fast. -The same HOS twice - one to find different objects and another 12 to find the same type of object, such as keys, light bulbs, etc ... - Many mini games. It has a few kind of new and somewhat challenging, although it also has some well-known and very easy (pull the ropes, chemical mixing, the three clocks...!).
if you are not sleepy, and have nothing better to do, try the free trial.

Save Frederick, who disappeared 20 years ago when his father, a great filmmaker, was murdered !! Game is very well done ! Excellent graphics, well-developed story with real characters (which sometimes turn into drawings), amazing VO and great soundtrack that create a very appropriate atmosphere. Great different locations to go and to explore.
Two levels of difficult. It has a journal containing map (with a question mark where there is something to do), objectives, and the diary of the father (you'll finding the pages on the way).
Good amount of interactive HOS - not too difficult, some minigames with very good level of challenge (as the color wheel), others less, but enjoyable. Besides the HOS, minigames and adventure in exploring the environments, you have to collect the "Father's Secrets": 10 cards, 20 photos, 10 lights, diary's pages...and, it has a board of achievements as: quickness in HOS, not skip games, not use hint, etc to unlock laser eye, sharp eye, and others.
The game itself is not very challenging, but is extremely attractive and has much to do, much to see, much to explore. Lots of entertainment ! I had already played CE, and SE confirmed ... is an outstanding game. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to have great moments of fun this weekend!.

It is a cute, colorful and well designed game, appropriate for children. The music is vibrant, but tiring. Extremely easy, you can even swap tiles to any part of the board, even when it makes no match 3. With a few points already exchange level. Gave up after 10 minutes.
