Loved all the Legacy: Witch Island games and this one is just as great. This is how a HO adventure game should be.
Great story, great mini games and lots of twists to finding objects.

Kaya Joshi: Magical Detective is the perfect mix of hidden objects and adventure fun!

I was really enjoying this game. Something new and different, Finally. Then (still in the beginning of the game) I came across a ladder that needs to be repaired. I did that and now I cannot pick it up out of my inventory to use it. Cannot move on.
Bummer. Wanted to finish this game. Would have been a buy for me.

This is a pretty good game. It's no Awakening or Dana Knightstone, but fun overall.
A mixture of many HO scenes and mini puzzles.
I wish the devs would take a chance and come out with a brand new "Awakening" and "Dana Knightstone". Those were some of the best series ever created.

It's been quite a while since I played/bought a Do Game. They were always exactly the same (same tasks). This one is SO VERY different. I had to buy this one. Very long and very enjoyable.
I recommend this game!

This is one of my all time favorite games (check out other Cateia games: especially The Man with the Ivory Cane and Dragon Tales). I have replayed this game many times and is always enjoyable. Lots of thinking required. I agree with others as there is no CE extras. Also, instead of a re-release, I would love to see a brand new Brightstone Mysteries from Cateia.
I recommend this game!
Trust no one when true love is on the line.

I played for more than 30 minutes and did not run into any major issues, other than the in the first few scenes when the "instructional" box popped up on the screen and you could not close it. Had to wait until I found the object the "box" wanted me to find and then it would close.
I'm enjoying this game. My only negative issue is the stars. I just want to play the game, I don't care that I earn stars for how I answer a question or pick an answer.

This is, by far, one of the best games Do has created in a long time. Lots of variations in the HO scenes and lots of new mini games. Thanks, Do.

I am enjoying this game. I just won't pay full price for it. I remember when the weekend sale was BOGO for ANY game or a certain % off ANY game. Now it is always "recent released games" are excluded. Why? I've been a BF member for over 10 years. Guess I will wait for a sale later when this game is not considered recently released.
I recommend this game!
