Our hero is 25 and still living at home with foster parents. He's going out into the cold world looking for his identity. Without our help he won't make it. We are his super strength!
Interesting puzzles with lots of work-arounds, which you have to find, they aren't just given to you even in casual mode. But, they are interesting. Can't say much more without giving things away, so I'll just say, Try It, You may Like It! ;P

I wouldn't be getting this game.
There are too many 'nothin do do here' messages, when you click hint. Also, what's with the claw slashings when you click hint sometimes? I did the tutorial, I wasn't told there.
Pros? Pretty pictures.
Cons? Just about everything else. It's irritating. I'll probably finish it, working for a little time. When I start to growl #I am a bear after all# I'll quit, go back later. gggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I don't think I've ever played a game where scent is so important. Makes me wish for, the as yet uninvented, smell-a-game.
I'm downloading the full game now. The strategy guide is helpful, as are the hints, which in casual mode recharge quickly enough so one does not get frustrated. The graphics are crisp, unless covered in smoke, which is as it should be. The music unabtrusive, the other sounds fit well into the game. The VO's are clear, understandable, and have useful information.

This is a nice little game. So far, there haven't been any HOS. But, I haven't felt that is a lack. It hasn't needed them. The hints are helpful & recharge well in regular mode.
The Beholders are a pain, which is why, I guess, we have to find and get rid of them all.
Benny is cute, I hope I see him a lot more in the rest of the game. A cross between Gizmo & a gremlin, he's cute.
I bought the game after 45 minutes. Now, where is that giant club to wack the Sandman with? LOL Isn't one, just kidding.

Why Titus can't take care of his own relatives I don't know.
So far the game is interesting & and thought provoking. Why only 3 elements?
Showing what a pet coin looks like would really be a help. The tutorial was more of a hinderance than a help. The 'skip tutorial' button covered up some of the words telling you how to play.
The HOS lists are very dim, it's the worst part of the game. If I can't read what I'm looking for, how do I find it???
I bought the game. If the above problems aren't a deal breaker for you, get it. If they are, then don't.
I know I could probably lighten the HOS lists by fooling with my graphics settings. But, since they are fine for everything else I do on this computer, I don't play with them for one game.

Not only is the game slow it's boring. Pack up an apartment, redo another. Go to see a car, end up repairing it. None of which really has anything to do with the story. I played 39 minutes of the demo, Took one look at the car and got out. Have never understood why some games seem to want you to fix up the locals, when they have nothing to do with the story. I like old fashioned. But, when a story is promised I want it to move along.
I wouldn't buy this, even if it was free.

This is an ok game. A little slow. Otherwise interesting. I don't like having to collect things (fans, in this case# to get hints. And collecting gold coins to buy things you need to advance is a little dated.
The story is a bit jumbled. The wife is kidnapped, then leaves alone. So....was she or wasn't she kidnapped?
I hope the little fox appears often, he's cute!
I bought this with discounted game credits, probably would have paid full price #game club member full price), but, I'll never know.
Not a great game, but, not a dud either.

This game looks good & sounds good, but, plays awful. You're brother is unconcious outside in the rain and you go play inside where it's dry. The visuals in the HOS are not the best. Finishing a knife set requires you to find the knives (ok# click on them #ok# and watch as they turn transparent and slide down the outside of the knife block. Tacky.
The hints (when used for 'which way do I go?') show you all the ways you can go, not the way you should go. Not helpful.
It seems as if this is a game built by newbies with lots to learn. I played 26 minutes got almost nowhere & uninstalled.

Once upon a time, there was a baddie who could turn everything to ice. No not old man winter....The Lady in White.
To combat her....fire.
To combat her....fire.
I played the full hour of the demo. Very short hour, went by fast. The sound, graphics, voice overs, ambient sounds, videos all extremely good. I'm downloading the whole game now... I did worry at first that the game makers used all their money on the video you see before you get to the screen to push play. It was just about movie quality. While the game it'self is not quite that good, it is close.
Both the hint button (recharges fast) and the strategy guide are extremely helpful.
Town full of skeletons. Again. At least these wear some bits of clothing. *giggle* ENJOY!
I recommend this game!

Who is this girl? What is she doing in that abandoned looking school? Where are her parents? When will I actually learn something? How do you fix a curtain? Why should I care??
It's dark, dreary, and of course raining. I know more from reading the description of this game than from playing 30 minutes of it.
It almost seems as if this game was made by school kids for a class project.
Don't waste your time. Unless you are trying to get out of going to the dentist.
I don't recommend this game.
