I must say it has been a long time since I enjoyed a game this much ... (takes me back to the original MCF games)
Love the variety of puzzles .. couple of head scratchers .. which is always fun.
The Graphics are beautiful and easy on older eyes ...
All I can say is I have missed fun games like this ... I hope the creators continue to create more fun games like this one. :)

I've played and enjoyed the whole Northern Tales series. This one is okay but.... I would think of it as more intro ... the first game of the series...
This one seems a bit more juvenile. The one new thing that was different is you have to be watching the screen and not taking that bite of that sandwich or your guy could get webbed by the spider...
Issues with the sound as well ...had to turn everything on high to hear it.
Bottom line ...if I was new to this series it would be great but as I am not ... I would pass on purchasing it.

This is a great game.. I am really enjoying it .. I can honestly say it has been a while since I found a game I enjoy so much. It’s addictive and fun .. Enjoy the music they picked .. All around I love the game …
I think if I had to suggest an improvement .. the background graphics is a little stiff (for lack of a better word… )
Overall a really good game … gotta go … time to play :)

Pendle Tower was once a lavish high-rise hotel, but a new renovation has awakened a long-dormant secret within its foreboding halls.

I played the trial game and I have to say I really liked it … it felt a little like the old ones… I know that none of the games that are coming out are on the same level as past MCF but those creators are obviously no longer there.. I think we should stop comparing to the past and just judge the game on its own merits..
Love the story line … the colours and sound are great.. Enjoyed the puzzles .. The counters that are on the left hand side are a bit of an annoyance…. But a lot of games I noticed are starting to do that. Over all a good game.
My only issue is one that is shared with a few others that have mentioned it on past reviews… the creators must be using a new video emulator or something to that effect because it acts up. No other games have this issue.. only the past 3 MCF games …
Other than that … I think it has the possibility of being a good game. (just not MCF)
I would recommend you give it an honest try…

I think some may be judging this game to harsh.. Most games follow a basic formula and what they do with it makes the difference.. These guys followed the formula and it made a nice game … Its what I call a Feel Good Game… You know the kind when you have had a heck of a day .. you don’t want to be bothered by anyone and you just want to get lost in a game but not frustrated…
The game flows nice … Graphics are well done …Sound is good too. Some puzzles if you are not in the mood for it ..you have the option to switch it to match 3 … As I said a feel good game.
It’s a game that would be great for beginners and those that have played for a while … I enjoyed it … as I was having one of those days
It’s a good game… I can’t give it a 5 star because I play so many of these games and this one didn’t quite reach the levels I enjoy so much… but as always… everyone has difference tastes.. and you should try it for yourself

Sorry but just not my kind of game.
I enjoyed the puzzles but I find there is too much chatter with the characters .. They move the story along not so much your game play.
I liked the overall story ...
The graphics and sound were good
I would say for some new to these games it would be great but just not for me and I'm going to say most experienced players may not find the challenge there.
My advice ... give it a try ...
Enjoy!

ReDrawn
Love it …I read a few of the reviews and decided to make a comparison. I played ReDrawn trial til my time ran out and then I played Drawn .. the painted Tower (the old version) to the same point.
Although similar there have been a few changes.. I have to say though… I found the flow of the game nicer. One of the updates that I loved is the close ups… eg. In the old version you have to place fragments of glass in the window.. the window is off to the side and small… in the new version you click on the window and a nice and large window pops up and so much easier on the eyes.
I am really glad that some of the older games are being updated and playable again…I hope they update more ..then they will work with the new versions of window… At any rate… you will have to excuse me as I am now going to purchase ReDrawn and play the rest of my game.
My advice give it a try and draw your own opinion..:)

Wonderful Graphics .. bright and beautiful.. so much to look at. The music matches wonderfully
Story line is good …
Looking for the owls is a hoot… haha and I just love the hedgehog with the apple on his back … so cute
Would have liked to be able to remove an arrow when clicked in error…
Oh one more thing… I’m use to it now but the colours are off a bit in the matching… around the ring is purple and the colour shooting up for its match is pink…
Love the puzzles ..at first I was thinking Mah-jongg but it has a twist … really enjoyed it.
Overall great game … I enjoyed playing it.

It’s a cute game. Great for beginners.
Programming critiques…
The graphics are great. The animation needs tweaking in places. Loved the music. The time span at the end of the chapters needs adjusting … some are so long you wonder if there is more you need to do. That being said a couple chapters seemed incomplete.
Overall though … I did enjoy the game.. it was a nice change from the ones I usually play.

I have played many of these types of games and I have the Roman Adventures and like others I kinda went hmmm kinda cartoony ... but I gave it a chance and really glad that I did... I am really enjoying this game ... I chose to play in relaxed mode and so glad ... because you can take your time and in doing so I appreciate the animation ... so much haha .. I burst out laughing at the worker reading the newspaper until they picked up his load ,,, And the characters snoring in their tent in between jobs ... the animals react when clicked on ... the animation on all the characters are wonderful ... Well Done..!
As for the game play .. It has a couple of new twists to it... but that is what makes it interesting... Really enjoying the game..
