This HOG game is from the same developers that brought us the "The Harmony Chronicles" series which I really enjoyed. Lovely to look at, cute storyline and very relaxing to play. And, since this is quite similar to "The Harmony Chronicles", I don't understand the bad reviews as from just looking at the screenshots and playing the demo anyone who enjoyed that series so know this is basically the same type of game. I am loving it!

What happened to Elephant Games? First off, the games are getting shorter and shorter and secondly, I was really looking forward to this but it was a nothing story which I didn't find fun at all as it started nowhere and went nowhere. I have been playing my old Mystery Tracker games and this could even hold up a burnt out candle to them, lengthwise and story-wise. The only saving grace is Elf and that I got it with a Bogo offer.
I'm having a blast playing this game and purchased it right away. The characters and levels are colorful and charming and even though it's timed and I am not the fastest player, I had no problem getting 3 stars on all the levels that I have completed so far even though sometimes I didn't appease the "gods" or pay the pirate. Just build your buildings, keep picking main crops and making items as you get ingredients from merchants.
I love Magnussoft games and this was no exception! Beautiful hidden object adventure game! There is only a "Tip" button to steer you in the right direction but if you have played enough of these games, it's easy enough to figure out and plenty of clues & clues from other characters to help you along the way. I am really enjoying this gorgeous game and hope this developer puts out more just like it!

Everyone is entitled to what they like, but rating a game low because it doesn't have a feature you are use to instead on based on the actual gameplay isn't really fair to the developers. I like a good Match 3 and I actually don't mind that I don't have to "build" something myself...I get lazy and don't bother a lot of times so I rather enjoy it when the garden can be just "purchased" by me as it tends to look better than what I create anyway (lol). Sometimes, I just want to enjoy the game and Queen's Garden is entertaining as always and lovely to look at so try before you buy!
This is an insta-buy for me as I love these games! Great way to enjoy the holidays with Tim & Spooky's Chaos Cat Filled Christmas! The Suddenly Meow games are always entertaining and fun and I love all the decorating you can do in this developers games! Fabulous Feline Fun!
I really enjoy this series from this developer and the dragon is growing up fast! These games are an instant buy for me as they are fun, have enjoyable storylines and I love TMs which we need much more of on here! I also enjoy that Big Fish includes a BOGO on Tuesdays so I can get 2 games for the price of 1!
I never had any problems with this game (so far...knock on wood) but I know other games have been a bit funky on my computer so try before you buy and enjoy!

I don't understand the bad reviews as this the 2nd game (Chaos Realms being the 1st) in this series and it's just as challenging and gorgeously made. Yes, there is a lot of talking but you can skip that if you aren't invested in the story. I've played some "bad" games on here and it's not like a lot of the cookie cutter hidden object games of late. I found this game quite beautiful, enjoyable and relaxing and I don't think it deserves the negative reviews...try before you buy and see if you enjoy it too!
Elephant games over the past few years have been ridiculously short and not worth the $20 CAD anymore. They use to be one of my favorite developers with their amazing graphics, storylines and a good game length to enjoy the story so I will purchase this game during a BOGO. I'm sure they know of the complaints regarding the length of their games just not sure why they don't give us a decent length game for our money like they use to.

I purchased and played this in 2023 along with the second game of the series that came out earlier this year which was even better. This is a great new series for the "Emily" games and I hope they keep making them along with the "Barbarous" ones. Great gameplay, good storyline and lots of fun! I just wish BF would release these games sooner as there are lots of new games that I just get purchase other sites now instead of waiting months on end for them to be released.
