Fun game. Easy HOS but puzzles a bit challenging and different from the norm. Easy to get hints and skips. Music got annoying and had to be silenced. Story was slightly confusing and abruptly ended but it was a good length. Enjoyed myself.
I recommend this game!

Just OK. Graphics were not special enough and items were very small to find. Easy to get hints. There is a Maze section that just killed the game for me. Story was OK. Too much reading and not enough dialogue. Just Ho Hum.
I don't recommend this game.

Wow! I appreciate BF putting CE on sale. I would have missed out on one of the best games ever. It had everything. Good HOS, inventory items, puzzles. The best was the MAP. Click on the MAP and it took you where you wanted to go. No back and forth. It was such a vast area to move around. If you did not, have the MAP could have become tedious. It had morphing objects to collect. HOS was interactive which I love. Great graphics, sound, and stories. Multiple stories. Just a superb game.
I recommend this game!

I love the Dark Parable series and Blue Tea Games. Excellent FRO (fragmented objects to collect instead of HOS). Great story and graphics. I played the CE so I got to play the extra game. I love casual games so I play on the easy level. I love the stories and solving puzzles with inventory items. This game has it all and was effortless and enjoyable.
I recommend this game!

The game had neat HOS where you collected inventory items to use in other HOS. The puzzles were extremely easy but this is more of a straight HOG. Interesting graphics and soothing music. Nice Game.
I recommend this game!

This game had everything I like. The HOS scenes have little extras: not just items on a list. Great story with real time video. Great inventory puzzles. Puzzles were difficult but skippable. It had 3 different levels of play. I was on the easiest. I like my games casual. Very casual and this one was perfect. Love Elephant Games.
I recommend this game!

I loved the first Drawn. Very imaginative and incredible puzzles and graphics. This one was boring for me and the extras were not worth the money at all. It was short and has made me very very selective about CE.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a game with more adventure and puzzles. There are a few HOS but it is all about the story. Great story. Could hardly stop playing. Great graphics, sound, and music.

This game is purely HOS and puzzles. Puzzles were good but I did not have the patience because the HOS scenes were so difficult, I just skipped the puzzles to get through the game. The hint charger was very slow and the objects were miniscule. I had to get my magnifier to help me to see objects. Not enjoyable.
I don't recommend this game.
