It's like Groundhog Day. Or 50 First Dates. Know what I mean? I don't think it could be any more cookie cutter repetitive. Storyline was weak, it could have been written so much better. The audio/visual... not great or extraordinary. I say the level of challenge was OK but only because of the mini-games and boy was this game mini-game HEAVY. I skipped probably 95% of them. A lot of them are poorly explained as well.
The "stars" 🙄😡
Example of how ridiculous this game was... in a forest, you use a KITE to knock something out of a tree. WHAT!?!? Come on DO...we aren't morons.
I was truly baffled at the 5 star rating someone gave this game, until I saw the name. Don't be fooled by it. This game, like the last dozen games DO/Domini has put out, is not worth purchasing.
I don't recommend this game.

I have always enjoyed this game but it has become too repetitive. The same thing for 5 games is a bit too much. Developer....get creative and change something.
I only played the demo and I will not be buying this one or future ones unless they shake it up and make some changes.
That being said, it is still worth playing, at least for a free hour.

There was no fun for me in playing this game. I found it to be quite slow, boring and the graphics were so depressing. Go pick up items, play a lot of puzzles and find the exit 🙄 😴
Similar games in this genre 🚪🚪 are much better. I appear to be the odd reviewer and even though I don't find this game worth my time, it might be for you. I'll be nice and rate it a 3 but I can't recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing the demo. I had no issues downloading and 1 glitch in the very first scene but the game played smoothly for an hour after that.
This is a simple fun hidden object game with fun mini games/puzzles in between. The game offers different levels of challenge. The graphics were fine but not perfectly clear in some scenes. I really enjoyed the music, very calming. I can't attest to where the storyline is going based on demo but I didn't find the conversation to be annoying or longwinded.
I will be purchasing this game. I am really enjoying this type of HO game.
I recommend this game!

Nice to see Richard back though his appearances are few. We have been asking for his return so TY. A shift toward the older versions of this game with more "ghost" appearances would make this a 5 star series again.
I enjoyed playing the game (demo) and didn't find any fault or problems with the game play. Other than the challenge level, I found all other categories of the game to be above average.
I love that the HO scenes are truly Hidden Object puzzles and even though I am not a fan of the mini games, most of these were quite fun.
I agree with others regarding the challenge in game play. Most of your found objects are used in the same scene which requires no thought process by the player and could make the game seem tedious or boring.
This HOPA game is better than the ones that have been released over the past year but it still isn't up to the standard of the older HOPA games. Sadly I think those excellent HOPAs of old are a thing of the past and today's HOPAs are what we are stuck with.
I recommend playing this game. But based on what other reviewers who played the entire game said about it not being CE worthy, too short, I would only recommend purchasing with club store points or with a good sale.
I recommend this game!

Based on demo, this was an ok game. Not very exciting or mentally challenging. Puzzle heavy. There are other games in this exact genre that are far better and more fun. The boy is rather annoying, thankfully you can X out of conversations. I have no plans to purchase this game. Play the demo and decide for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.

Just give it up DO games. The more games you put out the worse they get. When I first started playing on BFG, Domini (DO) was my favorite developer. Problem is they haven't grown or gotten any better. Years later their games are still the same cookie cutter HO games. Playing a DO game (and most other HO games here on BFG) is just like brushing your teeth every morning...boring.
P.S. get rid of the stars...that would be a welcome change to your games.
I don't recommend this game.
Cozy up to puzzles in the comfort of your home!

There is a major glitch so DONT buy until fixed. Fun, very easy and relaxing game. But first scene on page 2 (swimming pool scene) you click and remove the items from the scene but they are not removed from the list.. Because the items are still showing on the list, you can't finish the scene and progress in the game. You're stuck.
If they fix the game, this would be a sale buy for me.

Same Domini game format, just different scenes. Nothing new here to keep your attention and make it fun to play. And get rid of the star thing, please.

Maybe the evil twin can fix this game because it is an utter failure. D.U.M.B. No challenge, ridiculous storyline, horrible graphics. And Daemon is very very annoying. There are errors in the game and the guide is a hot mess. This used to be a fun series but no more. Did the developer just throw this together quickly to get a game out? Did they not play the game before releasing it to check for errors or did they just not care? And why are people giving this game 4 and 5 stars???
I couldn't play more than 20 minutes of the demo and had to quit. Total flop.
