This game was classified as a HO game, well it's far from it, in the 90 minutes of trial game time we played almost to the end of chapter 3 and all in all there were only 2 HO's scenes. If it's a hidden object game you are looking for I DO NOT recommend this game, other than that it OK but that's about all I can say for it.
Terrible game, doesn't even fit the screen, even the hints leave a lot to be desired, we were very disappointed. If the game was rated on a scale of 1 to 10 we'd have to give it at least a minus 5.
After inheriting an old antique shop, Emily discovers an odd diary that seems to contain a number of clues as to the book's origin. As she delves deeper into the mystery, what she uncovers will change her forever.
This is one of the worst of the worst. the hidden objects are more than just hidden, they are not sharp and clear but also most are very tiny and we play our games on a big screen TV and had a real hard time finding things. I wish I'd never purchased it, I made the mistake of not playing the demo first, had I, we never would have bought it, but that's what you get when you buy a pig in a poke. We didn't even finish the game, just uninstalled it and learned a lesson.
We played the first two chapters and there was only one HOS plus the game was very difficult to navigate even with the walk thru. There were 3 of us playing the game on the big screen TV, nobody liked the game, we kept hoping that it would get better but if anything it just got worse, a very poor game.
The old historic mansion in Istanbul is being renovated into a hotel and when the owner summons you to fix the grand clock you discover that there are dark secrets contained within.
I think that with out a doubt this by far the very worst game that we have ever played we kept+laying thinking that it would get better, but no, it just got worse. counting the number of games that we have reviewed plus the 1,000+ games that we have purchased from Big Fish over the last 10 years, this has got to take first place for the very worst. Don't even waste your time playing the demo.
I don't recommend this game.

In a nutshell this has got to be one of the very best hidden object adventure games we have ever played. It is very different and challenging, we didn't have to play it long to know that we wanted this game. All I gotta say is get it, you'll love it. I hope there will be more like this one coming down the pike.
Not once, not twice but 3 times in the Hidden object scenes you were to look for a key, well guess what the key turned out to be a wrench and visa versa, its pretty bad when the developer doesn't know the difference between a key and a wrench. We also got stuck so used the hint which took us to the lake side with the woman in the boat where it told us there wasn't anything to do there and that's where we are stuck and can't go any further as no matter where we go there's nothing to do there and the hint takes right back to the lake shore where again it says there isn't anything to do there. we just finally just gave up.
I don't recommend this game.

I normally don't write a review on these games but I felt I should fore warn ya'll, it's a total waste of time, the only thing that I can say in it's defense is that the graphics were very clear and sharp. We thought that it would get better as we played along but it only got worse and we only played for about 20 minutes. Sorry BF, this one is a total loser.
All I have to say is don't even bother downloading this game, it one of the worst ever. If there was such a thing a black stars instead of gold stars I would award it 5 black ones. We play this one for about 10 minutes and what a waste of time that 10 minutes was.
I should have paid more attention to the other reviews, the game is't self is a very good game but way to short, for play time under two hours and no help with a walkthrouh it's not worth the price. The game came to an end before you knew it and sorta left you hanging waiting for a sequal. I only recommend this game if you don't mind spending the money for a very short game, in fact if you are a really good game player you might well finish the game just over the hour free trial.
