This used to be my favorite dev but there's been a distinct lack of originality lately. Find a key to open a long abandoned hole in the wall of a deserted hotel only to find a live flashlight. Find another key to open half of a first aid kit to find a nail puller. How does that even make sense? It's a constant back and forth finding keys to open oddball locations for extremely unlikely objects.
The game is beautiful, the music is very good but... how about a plot instead of relying on opening endless and tedious locks? I don't leave negative reviews but this game is a stinker.
I don't recommend this game.

I wasn't thrilled to see another PuppetShow game but I gave it a try anyway. One thing I've always admired about this dev is their responsiveness to customer comments and complaints and this game shows a marked improvement from earlier games in this series. I like helpers unless they're animals wearing clothes or talk in a high, squeaky voice and this creepy robot cat is kind of cool. I love the graphics of course and the voice acting is much better than earlier games. Really nice HOS and the puzzles are easy (I have a low frustration level so I like easy puzzles.)
This is definitely worth playing the demo, it's a very good game.
I recommend this game!

The game mechanics are the best I've ever seen, everything is logically laid out, the artwork is beautiful (although the CG characters aren't very attractive) and even the voice acting is well done. This is easily as good as most of the CEs from the big name developers, and better in many cases. I'm struck by the attention to detail that went into this, it's really beautifully crafted and a pleasure to play.
I recommend this game!

I've been getting bored with these kind of games lately but they've done a nice job with the mini-games and I really enjoy finding items in each new scene so the little "familiars" are fun. Reminds me of another game where you had to find little eye monsters, which I really liked as well.
The story isn't anything new but the fresh take on mini-games, good voice acting and nice graphics make this game well worth my money.
I recommend this game!

This is the first game that I ever saved the music from. There's a piano piece called Ink Demon that's quite beautiful and I'd like to save it to my listening library.
Great game, well acted and illustrated with an interesting story... but that music! Did I mention how much I liked it?
I recommend this game!

There are a lot of good things about this if you don't mind basic, old school game play. I like how the dev puts tidbits of history and interesting facts in the game to find, the story was cute and didn't take itself seriously and I thought the graphics in the hidden puzzles was very good and rather challenging. However some of the puzzles were maddening, like a pipe game that reset itself after 30 seconds. I don't like timed games anyway and that was nowhere near enough time for me to figure it out. Another was a fishing game that require you to catch 100 fish. ONE HUNDRED! That's when I stopped. I played 29 minutes and enjoyed it but those two puzzles were enough to put me off the game.
I don't recommend this game.
Is fear the price or the reward?

The story was different enough that it kept me interested, the music's gorgeous and the main male character is very good looking... I wouldn't mind seeing him in future games. There were a few voice actors that were sort of meh, but overall, this was a visually beautiful, well made game that was very entertaining to play. I like it enough that I'm thinking of replaying the whole thing again today.
I recommend this game!

I've been getting bored with many of the new games released lately but this one has managed to capture my interest and it's a delight to play. I've always liked this developer and they've done a beautiful job on this. The story is different enough that I'm not rolling my eyes at every scene, the HOPs are fun and I'm enjoying just looking at the gorgeous artwork. Nicely done.
I recommend this game!

The translation/grammar will probably bother some people but I actually enjoy the weird sentence structure... it kind of adds to the oddness of the story. There's a real hodgepodge here but it all comes together for a very enjoyable and fun game. I think the graphics are very attractive, the hidden object scenes are challenging and the weird assortment of characters had me playing this game much later than I should have been up last night. This really is a little gem of a game.
I recommend this game!

Beautiful graphics, very good voice acting, interesting plot and fun game play. The bonus game was very well done too. One of the best games I've played lately.
I recommend this game!
