Not even for $2.99! But also, not the worst I have trialed.

I played the 60 minute trial.
Very basic 2D graphics.
Story seems to be a very poor representation of Pocahontas's life story. Click on bubbles to progress the dialog which can not be skipped. Dialog scenes remind me of Elementary School shoe box scenes, with the people glued to popsicle sticks, but that may even be better than this games graphics and story line. Story is choppy and hard to follow at times. Birds and bumble bees or flies shoot across the scene without even flapping their wings.
Music is calm instrumentals during most hidden object scenes, which I did enjoy. Some scenes the music was changed from the instrumental and unfortunately it was obnoxious .
HO scenes were very cluttered and often very difficult to find the items, due to either dark scenes or items placed same color on same color or just poorly illustrated items that were barely recognizable as the item listed. Once you had been sent to the same scene for the third time, with the same items in the very same places, just asking for a different list of items, obviously then, it was much easier to locate the items. Even the choice of objects that the developer used did not flow with the scene or the over all story as scenes included camels and hippos along with grim reaper ghosts and Michelangelo's "David".
This game often felt abrupt, cluttered and sometimes confusing. It did not draw you in and make you want to play the next scene or cause you to want to know what is going to happen next with the characters. For myself I am surprised I was able to stick it out the whole hour. I am not sure I would even recommend this game if it was free. I would probably just recommend turning the computer off and reading a good book instead of playing this game. There are far too many good to excellent games here on Big Fish Games for you to even waste your time playing this disappointing game.
For those who did enjoy this game, I am grateful that someone did. As always, you are the best judge of what you enjoy, so if it doubt, try it out for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.
