Wanted to like this one but between feeling lost most of the time and slow game skips, I finally threw in the towel after spending too much time with this game. Other things I didn't like was that the inventory bar defaulted to unlocked every time I quit the game. Useful objects to pick up were only available as needed instead of the usual way of stockpiling them. The HOPs were impossible to see against dark backdrops.
Wow. Loved this game as much as the 13th Skull and Return to Ravenhearst, and the Syberia series. Very challenging with a dearth of clues. No interactive map but one should rely on the map anyway. Sepia graphics. Tough HOs. Mini games can be skipped. Inventory bar won't lock so that's a nuisance. Negatives aside, it was hard to come up for air while playing Salem Secrets.
I own most of the Jewel Match games and many are CE. This is the first time I've been locked out of the CE bonus games. I've contacted support but their advice didn't help. Don't know what to think but it seems that the problem might be limited to me.
This game was intuitive in some places and obtuse in others; inconsistent. The HOPs were OK. The storyline was unimaginative. Way too short. And what's up with the Bonus Game? It was only a brief Match 3 game. Save your money.
I own every Clutter game and buy them automatically. I look forward to the mindless exercises to relax my brain. This one, however, made me angry. Nothing new, difficult to navigate, and inane. So much for automatic Clutter purchases going forward.
