The game itself was ok and quite fun. There was a bit too much dialogue, which slowed it down and the character changes were unnecessary. Some of the puzzles weren't explained at all well and I had to skip some of them. I couldn't access the Bonus Game at the end which was very frustrating.
Most times I'm quite sad to reach the end of a game but with with this one I couldn't wait to get to the end. When I started I was happy with the graphics; really clear and well done but it all went downhill from there. There is too much storytelling and not enough gameplay for my liking. The mini games weren't much fun, the hardest part was working out what you actually had to do. The descriptions were hopeless. I found myself using the hint button over and over just to get to the end which is a bummer because like I said it LOOKED awesome.
I don't recommend this game.

I didn't like this game at all. I nearly gave up a couple of times but didn't want to be a quitter. The game doesn't flow, so when you do work out a step it's usually hard to work out where to go next. I just wanted to finish it, so I used the hint button a lot instead of searching the same rooms etc over and over. When you find a cog icon and do the required task, the window stays accessible and the cog doesn't disappear, so you think there may be something else to do later...there usually isn't. The map is pretty useless, you can't click on it to take you to specific rooms. The hint button is a bit of a dud too, but maybe I was just being lazy. This doesn't affect the play but there are a lot of spelling mistakes throughout the game which is a bit distracting. Overall I was quite disappointed.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is unexciting and not challenging at all.
