I am totally enjoying this game. The rooms are "clean" and not cluttered or grimy looking. The story is unique. Looking for items in a "same grouping" is a different Hidden Object setup. You pick up objects along the way, that you will use in various scenes also. Searching for parts and putting mechanical items together is a nice change-up on puzzles.
I recommend this game!

Fun game, but it was way too short. Nice clear graphics and cleverly hidden objects, in some scenes. I liked the way the actual Hidden Object scenes were set up; find items by picture and match items by association. No sneakers were needed for this game.
I totally enjoyed the place-in-sequence mini-games. You need to place several items in exact locations for an action scene to properly function.
Hopefully the Developer will make more games like this, but make them longer to justify pricing.
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed the game because of the story that it was made from. The story was different, than what is usually out there; find your Mum in a Studio Nightmare. The Studio existing on an entire island.
There are lots of places to visit. Not having to repeat the same scenes over-and-over was a nice change. There is a Map available. You need to find Sneakers, which will enable you to jump from place to place; saves a lot of back/forth running.
The Graphics were nice and clear.
This is not a difficult game to play, but it is not easy either. I found this game to be a combination of adventure, with hidden object scenes and puzzles. Not to much of any one thing.
I thoroughly enjoyed the game.
I recommend this game!

This game was quite enjoyable. Excellent graphics with a nice flow to the game. I really liked the story behind the game; it was very refreshing. Discover the conspirators that want to kill the King and stop it from happening.
The game on the whole, is a little on the easy side; you won't have to pull you hair out nor will you have to go through several pairs of sneakers.
The Hidden Object scenes were different, since you searched various sections of rooms for items and sometimes different locations. The Help button was actually very helpful.
It was a nice surprise to see the Developers of the Game in Period attire when the credits rolled.
Thank you Developers and Big Fish for an excellent and enjoyable game.

I enjoyed the game. It held my interest all the way through. The graphics were not always clear, but for the most part they were OK. This game is not for a highly experienced (hardcore) player, but for me, it was just enough of a challenge. I'm glad there was a walkthrough, because I got stumped twice.
Thanks Big Fish.

Enjoyed the game. Nice clear graphics. The Hint button wasn't always helpful. It didn't aid in any type of direction as to what was the next step.
You couldn't pickup objects until they were needed, even though you saw them; this was sometimes irritating.
I liked the variety of stories for each person. I will play this game again sometime in the future. It's a nice light game.
I recommend this game!

Totally enjoyed the game. Items were era-appropriate and I really enjoyed the piano music.
This game is mostly Hidden Object, but some of the H0 scenes are completely different than anything I have ever played. There's nothing like being in a moving car and having to find items on the fly. Some of the items, in the H0 scenes are really small, but the clarity of the scenes made it a little easier.
The "puzzle" games were unique. Type words as they drop from above and find a set number of items while the scenes are changing.
There are trophies to be earned, books to find, and a room to decorate.
The voice-overs were excellent and made the story more enjoyable.
I would really like to see more games like this.
I recommend this game!

This game out shines some of the CEs out there. Built in "guide", collect items, clear graphics, and some surprises. One almost gave me a heart-attack. You better have a strong heart to play this one. I have all Midnight Mysteries games, and they are all great. Thanks to the Developer and Big Fish for bringing this game to us.

Would have given the game 5 Stars, but there weren't any voices. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. It was a nice mix of adventure and HOG. I really liked the way the Hidden Object scenes were done.
There were 2 STD scenes and 2 Replace Item scenes.
I liked the way the game was broken into segments, you didn't have to run your tail off with multiple long back-and-forth scenes. Looking forward to more games like this.

If the graphics were clearer, this could rival some of the CEs out there. The slightly grainy graphics were Ok, but could have been better. Even without an "internal guide", the Hint System was quite helpful, along with the Journal. Nice amout of character voices; not overdone.
Two Hidden Obj. scenes were "test mode". I was able to get around them with use of the Hint and by clicking on almost everything, until all items were cleared. Maybe that was fixed in a later release.
Long play time -- in the Regular mode, I played for 5 hours+.
Thoroughly enjoyed the game, even though it was somewhat dark in content.
