Based on demo. Very fun game, it is a buy for me. Some of the tasks are cookie cutter but the storyline makes up for that. It is a buy for me. So far like the puzzles. I have several of the Dark Cities games and have enjoyed them all.
I recommend this game!

I wasn't going to play this game as I have most of the Clutter games by Joe, but by Joe it was another great addicting game. So many new ideas and fantastic music. Love reading his personal storyline as well. Hope you enjoy this new game as much as I am.
I recommend this game!

This is a very enjoyable game, the best that has come out in a long time. I bought this based on the trail and knew within a matter of minutes it would be a buy.
Pros
• Graphics and voiceovers are excellent.
• Music compliments the game play.
• Storyline is interesting.
• HOS are varied and interesting.
• Puzzles are not unique, but they are interesting & fun, they picked the best ones.
• Like the map.

Cons
• Very few achievements and they are basic.
• Agree it is always nice to add morphing objects, but I was so absorbed in the storyline it wasn’t a big deal for me.
• Some of the items to collect during the story are like many games. A crow you must scare off for example. Not a show stopper for me as it wasn’t distracting to the main storyline.

I picked an old Eipix game as my ‘new’ favorite. Played it recently and re-enjoyed it!
I recommend this game!

The graphics for the storyline are weak but overall I liked the Match 3 part of the game. It is a buy for me. A lot of entertainment for the price. I used the number of moves setting to add a bit more challenge. As with all games, try it yourself.
I recommend this game!

Definite buy for me. Enjoy the relaxing fun. Great visuals. Nice challenge and in theory no storyline but like traveling around the world. I have 2 others from this series and I am really enjoying this new addition. A lot of variety.
I recommend this game!

Based on the demo. I really wanted to like this game as I like stories with vampires but just not a buy for me. Nothing new or imaginative. Like all their games used a hairpin, missing knobs, okay storyline. I know there has to be a magnet somewhere and always a hungry bird or animal. Did not care for the main character with blonde hair and elf ears. I will go back to my older games like Lost Lands series or Hidden Expedition when Eipix were the developers or play my Jewel Match 3 games.
I don't recommend this game.

I have the other 2 and bought this one yesterday. Enjoy playing and lots to find and do. As someone else stated well work $6.99 and yesterday it was on sale. Relaxing and fun.
Side note: I am recommending an older game. Lost Lands series is excellent or the Hidden Expedition games when Eipix were the developers. In this dry spell I have been replaying them.
I recommend this game!
A breathtaking voyage through dreams, reality, and places in between!

Interesting game and so much fun. You have to think but not too much. So far figured everything out on my own. The whole game is really inventive including HOS games. Something different in a good way.

Elephant Games is one of my favorite developers and is why I decided to try the game even though fairy tale games are not my favorite. This game is fun, good storyline and beautiful graphics. It was a solid 4 star for me. As others have mentioned it is not real challenging but sometimes it is just what you need to pass some time.
I recommend this game!

This is based on the demo. I saw the first 3 really negative reviews yesterday and was tempted to not even try it. Thank goodness I tried it anyway. To me it is a solid 4 star. This is a fun game and not sure why others have been so hard on it. I do not find it confusing and as someone else remarked the last several games were played where you play 3 different characters, and each has a unique skill that helps solve the case. So far, the game is fun and well worth trying it. I am enjoying the storyline (something different for a change) and I have always liked this series. Glad I tried it and made my own decision. My one negative comment is you do not know when there is a collectable (clock parts & puzzle pieces) and there is not one in each scene. I have sometimes not purchased a game because of this as I find it very frustrating!
I recommend this game!
