"...into the mysterious world." Well that is Not an understatement!
TONS of back and forth!! Abrupt and confusing ending. I skipped so many puzzles not understanding just what they wanted or not willing to spend the time to get there.
You find a 'hint' in each new screen, Even though it may take several hints to get to your next task, You only use one hint to get there. You start with twenty some. I ended with 10 left.
You may find objects that you cannot pickup, you'll be able to later, so remember where they are.
Took about 6-7 hours but that was with some interruptions and skipping many puzzles.
Knowing what I know now, would I have bought it? Probably, but I bought it cheap!

Right now I am so upset I had to quit the game to start this review. Come On DEVS! What a way to ruin the tip on a brand new Swiss Army knife! Surely there is a screw driver tip on it! I was so astounded I did not even look to see if the screws unscrewed in the correct direction. (They did) ( They used the blade! to unscrew the screws.)
Oh he took my beloved..but let's not hurry through the portal before it closes, let's stop and play a hidden object scene!
Went back and finished the demo. Those are not wire cutters, they may have the capability to cut wire but they are pliers.....see, you don't pull nails with wire cutters!
Need a light? Well where's the matches you had? Only used one to burn the papers, why didn't you keep them? Surely in this freezing cold you will need a match again.
Oops I don't think that was a "shotgun". Second time at that scene I looked closer, yep it was a flintlock muzzleloader. And that was not a tea kettle it was a teapot.
Like I said no sentimentality (did not keep the Swiss Army knife that his wife gifted him.) And not much Common Sense!
But these games often don't. And since it's on sale I may go back and buy it just because some one else said it was not short.
I would love to help develop a game where they get the tools right, Big Fish can you put me in touch with someone?

A modern twisted plot and NO glowing eyes! I hate the games with evil glowing eyes and will not buy them! All of the high star reviews are right on.
I wanted a hint button so many times but made it through without. You just have to look thoroughly and think!
Will give you this one hint...double click to make Joe 'run'. I've seen that before in the Sherlock Holmes games.

Rarely do I growl in frustration when the demo ends, usually it is a ahh or an ohh. Had to buy it to find out who is who and how it ends!!!!
I started the download for the trial, then started reading the reviews, and almost bought it off the reviews alone. What they say is so! On casual the puzzles are workable I like that!!
OK, all done. Here's the problem with game...IT DID NOT LAST LONG ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!

Don't click too fast, you have to wait for each item to register. But you probably won't find the objects that fast anyway. A simple game. Several hidden object scenes then a puzzle to 'discover' if each suspect is guilty.
This game has the most cleverly hidden objects. And there is almost more objects than there is picture.
Not a lot of brain power needed, just a good eye!

With 5 min left in t;he demo I gave up. Besides my clicking finger was worn out. The hint button only helps if you are in the right room. So many hints were wasted. I kept thinking " I don't understand this game." The puzzles were pretty easy. Maybe if I had read through the walkthrough first....
Decided not to buy..too frustrating!! Spoiler alert the teacup is in Gma's bedroom. But I never found the yellow drop for the tree release recipe.

When I get to the end of a demo, its either ohoh :((, or ahh :)) meaning I'm glad its over. I only buy if its ohoh. So I bought this one while it was a good sale. Lasted longer than I expected. Fun and engaging puzzles. Gotta be exact clicking on hidden objects! The ending.....oooh, a hint of truth?
I recommend this game!

I have been playing for months, have never spent a penny. So that is possible. And I have filled many quests. And it took a long time to get various family members. But I've got a couple frustrating bugs. One is I don't get ANY credit for " catching fish". I may get a blue bottle and/or a star but never any rewards in Achievements. And now in quests I am to can blueberry jam but even though I have blueberries (spent 2 gold for 1 bush# and water the green button will not light up so I can make the jam in my cannery, #yes it is upgraded).So in spite of a few frustrations, I keep playing. My gold level stays around 20-25 as I earn more and spend a few. Oh and there have shown up a couple rocks/stumps that are not accessible between the trees.
I recommend this game!

If you are really and I mean REALLY good at time management you might like this. Took me twice to get the first level and after several still have not gotten level two. The 'boyfriend' is a jerk anyway so why bother? Wish I had not bought it to fill my card.
I don't recommend this game.

Fun game, various strategies. It would be a whole lot more fun if the game gave you what you need to fulfill the quests a bit more often. I find myself more frustrated from the playing of it! I find I have to let it sit to recharge the energy, so I can play more.
I recommend this game!
