I just loved the first two azada games, as they were so much fun and magical. I loved the book concept. I loved the unusual puzzles. I hated this trial game of azada. Not only was it very boring, but it had none of the fun of the first two original azadas. The puzzles were the same old same old.. I will not buy this game, and won't look forward to anymore sequels.
I don't recommend this game.

I like these kinds of games- a little break from usual. This game was fun, and I'll probably buy it. My one complaint is the pictures were hard to make out. Not all of them. Some were better seen at a distance. And I didn't really care for the story.
I recommend this game!

I liked this game as it gives you lots of help, be it by the hint button (which is very good, as it tells you where to go) or by the voice comments (which was different but fun). I am rather tired of all these werewolf stories, but this game is fun for the beginner or intermediate player. There is a lot of backtracking, and without the map , it is easy to get lost. I think I will buy this game. No HOS, which is refreshing.
I recommend this game!

I was hoping for another Ravenhearst game, and got this. This game is harder than most. I like matching the photos to the scene, but didn't care for the hos. The hint system is good though, and that is always a plus. I don't think I will ever be an expert player. The hint system guides you without spoiling the game. I find the mini-games hard. Liked the live actors.
I recommend this game!

I loved briar rose, and this game is just as beautiful. I missed the morphing objects entirely, and had to use the hint button a lot. However, my main objection is the killing of wolves, and having wolves depicted as killers. Wolves aren't man killers, and isn't it enough that man nearly wiped out wolves not so long ago? Why don't you have killer squirrels, then I could laugh as I kill them? Or killer house cats? I won't be buying this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I read the reviews, and played the demo. This is an easy on your brain game, which is fun from time to time. I couldn't do a lot of the mini-games (awful small, esp. the maze---hate that). You can skip the mini-games, which I did. I rather liked the easy Hog as the story moved right along. I would call it a refreshing change from the more harder games. And I rather liked the music.
I recommend this game!

Just when I was getting into this, the demo. ended. I wanted to play more!!! It was very hard getting into this game at first, as there is no direction,really, of what to do---only where to go. It was so frustrating that I had to leave it, and continue the next day. But then I got it, and it started to be quite fun. I will put it on my list.
I recommend this game!

After playing so many games, I found this one to be rather ancient. There was a lot of written dialog to read, and , as Nilosh says, what's the point? Most of them will die. Who cares if the murderer is found or not? The whole ship is doomed. The game drags, and I couldn't wait for the demo to end. There are many, many, HOS and they are okay. I found them rather easy. The mini-puzzles are a mix of easy and hard, and you can skip them.The hint system is okay. I just rather spend my money on a better quality game.
I don't recommend this game.

I like this game developer. They put out the best games. I found the mini-games too hard for me, but luckily, there was a skip button. I didn't find the hint button very helpful, and had to rely on the strategy guide, which I wasn't happy with. The strategy guide was too small and hard to figure out. I liked the live actors, and wished for dennis kleinsmith to appear. Oh well.
I recommend this game!

This game was too easy for me. However, the game, itself, would be a pleasant diversion for a newbie hos seeker. The puzzles are very simple, and the hos are very easy. The hint system is good.
I recommend this game!
