The art and graphics in this are terrific, the storyline held me through to the end. I really like a game that features a different culture. Didn't realize till I played this one (and I play lots of these games) how little racial diversity there is in this world. I strongly suggest that players sit through the credits at the end. They are hilarious. Thanks for this one. p.s. I'd like to see more games in which ravens aren't used to represent evil.
I recommend this game!

I treat myself to Big Fish games in between writing. I'd open this game and find I'd gone wayyyyyyy beyond the time I'd allotted for my break. The human characters were hilarious - I imagined the game designers grabbing their pals, costumes and lots! of stage make-up and having fun.
I recommend this game!

Yes, I am owned by four cats, but that is only part of why I loved this game. I cared about the characters. I like games in which achieving goals helps to move positive action forward. The graphics were gorgeous, the HOGs just hard enough. Please can we have more by these designers!
I recommend this game!

I had to keep getting out and going to the walkthrough. Could have used real hints, rather than vague descriptions of an historical nature.
I don't recommend this game.

I loved this game - graphics were beautiful. I like drawn people not photographs of people. I was able to move through it at the Easy level simply by following the clues. Great story, a little different from many.

I love this game, especially the concept of the Shadow rooms, and being able to click on the map to go to new rooms. The graphics were elegant, the Hidden Object scenes just challenging enough.

I agree that the later chapters were too short. Still, it is a gorgeous game and the HOG's were just right.
