Suite à la mort de sa grand-mère, Natalie revient à la maison familiale et devra user d'astuces pour sauver son précieux héritage. Facile, plus aventure qu'objets cachés (les SOC sont optionnelles et servent uniquement à recharger notre banque d'indices), des changements ont cependant été apportés aux titres suivants et le gameplay s'est amélioré. Je recommande l'achat pendant un super solde BF $-)
Les +: graphiques en 3D clair et colorés / environnement interactif / humour / histoire et personnages intéressant / musique bien adaptée.
Les - : pas de niveau de difficulté (un contour jaune indique les scènes interactives) / pas d'écran large / les socs ne sont pas réalistes (ex: objets qui flottent) / pas de voix / court (+-3h).
Les - : pas de niveau de difficulté (un contour jaune indique les scènes interactives) / pas d'écran large / les socs ne sont pas réalistes (ex: objets qui flottent) / pas de voix / court (+-3h).
NB : série qui comporte 3 titres à ce jour (pas de suite que des histoires indépendantes).
I recommend this game!

Cet avis est basé sur la totalité du jeu.
Vous devez arrêter un noir sorcier qui veut ramener son défunt père sur le trône. Vous incarnez 3 enfants et jouez chacune de leurs aventures tour à tour. Qualité a tout points de vue: graphisme, histoire, voix, gameplay, durée tout y est parfait.
À savoir : 2 modes jouables (normal + expert) / un excellent système d'indices / peux se faire indépendamment du premier / l'ensemble du jeu est sombre (nuit) / puzzles à difficulté variable / une carte cliquer-déplacer (très utile).
Unique, une atmosphère envoûtante, impossible de s'ennuyer ou de ne pas se prendre au jeu. Certains joueurs pourraient ne pas aimer le gameplay qui est différent et demande plus de réflexion que les oc classiques. Pour ma part j'ai adoré. Ce jeu est un best et on voudrait en avoir plus de ce genre ;o)
I recommend this game!

The story brings us in China where the supernatural and romance operate their magic.
Only strong points : good story (with action and hot kisses wou hou!) / many puzzles (intermediate and expert what is very rare) / beautiful graphic (comic style) / appropriate soundtrack / challenging hos (and no junk pile) / many locations / good voice over / about 5 hours of gaming...and the part 2 which we wait for ^_^
I loved this game and enjoyed every moment of it. For every fan of HOPA games !
I recommend this game!

I recommend you to play the first game (The Clockwork Man) for a better understanding of the story.
A good innovation for this hidden object: movables scenes which create a 3D effect. This increases the level of difficulty and allow to enrich the game. The story is well built and interesting. The central figure Miranda and his small robot are charming.
The graphics are beautiful, the music well adapted and voices are great. The map is very useful (click and go). The movies are accessible in the menu (always useful!). The puzzles are a bit more difficult at the end of the game.
Note : check the credits and you will see the production team ;-)
I recommend this game!
Join Miranda Calomy on a journey through a world of wondrous science in the Victorian era, in The Clockwork Man!

This first game (The Clockwork Man 2: Hidden World) brings us in the end of 19th centuries in the universe of Miranda and its small robot. Her relatives disappeared 8 years ago and she tries to understand what took place.
A good innovation for this hidden object: movables scenes which create a 3D effect. This increases the level of difficulty and allow to enrich the game. The scenario is interesting, sounds and music were well adapted. Good balance between the tasks to achieve and HOS.
This is an old game so the graphs are average but we see an improvement in the second part of the series. To understand, you have to do them both (they are related ;-)
I recommend this game!

Suite de Miriel's : The Magical Merchant, cet opus est intéressant tout d'abord parce qu'il est plus qu'un simple jeu de gestion du temps. On y retrouve un magasin, une quête, des objets cachés et la rencontre de personnages variés et amusants ! Malgré son thème enfantin, il permet de relever de nombreux défis.
Les + : de beaux graphismes (style dessins animés) / excellente musique d'accompagnement / une histoire riche et détaillée /9 locations différentes (magasins) / des améliorations nombreuses / 2 niveaux de réussite (normal+expert).
Les - : on ne peut pas recommencer un niveau pour l'améliorer / obliger de passer le stade de base pour continuer.

Sans être une EC vous y retrouverez de nombreux bonus soient : un livre de recettes, un tableau des exploits (statistiques et médailles), la description des clients et leurs préférences ainsi qu'une aide textuelle (utile pour les recettes du magasin). S'adresse aux intermédiaires et experts !
(Si vous aimez le genre essayer le premier volet, il est aussi intéressant que celui-ci ;o)
I recommend this game!

Plus aventure qu'oc, on y retrouve des graphiques superbes (style BD européenne) et des animations réussies (neige,vent...) qui permettent une immersion immédiate. La musique, les sons et l'excellente histoire contribuent à relever l'ensemble du jeu et à le bonifier. Une aventure palpitante qui plaira aux amateurs de Sc.fiction :D
Les + : le changement d'avatar (2 personnages) / les scènes défilantes (favorisent l'immersion) / un design d'époque crédible (années 30) / soc réalistes (les objets retirés ne reviennent pas) / système d'indices efficace / journal multifonctions (notes + tâches) / pas de pénalités de clic (permet d'explorer) / des puzzles à difficulté variable / 2 modes jouables (affecte la vitesse du chargeur et les étincelles) / les combinaisons possibles d'objets (ajoute au défi). Les - : pas de carte / un peu court.
Ce jeu fut une agréable surprise et j'ai passé un très bon moment. J'espère que d'autres titres suivront...
I recommend this game!

I have played Westward and liked it very much. Story, graphs, music and gameplay is very good for an old game like this. And on top of that, many hours of gaming.
This one has the same concept so it's a good game...except for one thing ! They have changed the graphics on the map and the characters (not the GUI). We pass of drawing to 3D. It gives the impression that everything "float" under the ground. The angles are so rough, it kept me away from the game. I tried several times but I was not able to pass by :o(
Wesward II-III-IV have the same 3D graphics so try the demo because some players don't seem to have a problem with it and beyond that, it's a good series ;o)
I recommend this game!
After waking up on a mysterious island you find yourself cursed by powers beyond your understanding. Escape from the island before it’s too late!

This review is based on the entire game !
It's an important information because it's as if you had 2 games in 1. The first hour is correct. Good graphs, good HOS, very easy but well conceived puzzles and interesting story. I want to go farther and to know more...then BANG... here come the "Twilight Zone" !
The game changed enough to pull me out ! The story became weird because of one supposed dream and the good things went bad ! The HOS became cheaper, the graphics quality goes down, the story became confused ... and that's where I began laughing. The whole thing was not credible anymore. The first game was ok, very easy but fun. Not this one. I played till the end and nothing good went out of it excepted my laughter.
Somebody surely was cursed and i'm going to try to forget the whole thing :-|
I don't recommend this game.
Westward

You're in Farwest in a become city after having dealt with a prospector. You then have to check various characters, build buildings and go through the territory in search of new resources.
The +: an effective tutorial / funny characters / multiple parallel quests / varied and numerous improvements / good music / tons of gaming hours (with 25MB it's very impressive ! )
The tiny -: you have to save your game (don't forget :-)
The tiny -: you have to save your game (don't forget :-)
You have no time limit to make your missions. I didn't find this game difficult but stimulating! I concentrated on the objectives and the dumping was immediate. Wesward is the first of a great series (4 by now). For fans of strategy games it's a "must to have".
Note : didn't encounter any problems (no bugs).
I recommend this game!
