Well, I made it through 48 minutes of the demo and I have done so many tasks that I am exhausted. I haven't come upon a mystery. A murder yes but so far that is all I can say about the story line because so far there isn't one.
The graphics are very well done as are the voice overs. I cannot say anything about the collectables and morphs because as far as I know I didn't encounter any. Oops, not true, I did pick up 2 collectables.
I suggest that you try the demo and see if this game is to your liking. Just do not pay attention to what they say you can expect to find in this game. I will recommend it but I really do not like it. A no buy for me.
I recommend this game!

I know I already played and reviewed this game some time ago. It was awful then and it is awful now. In the very first scene I encountered missing batteries, broken zipper pull and the famous broken umbrella.
How many times have we had these same tasks in Do games?
The voice overs are less than what we usually get from this dev and the way they tell the story is not intriguing at all.
I have not encountered any SUSPENSE or FUN Ho's.
Very boring game but for new players I imagine they will like it. Us seasoned players not at all.
I don't recommend this game.
Embark on a daring rescue through time!

What a unique game. Dragons Eye put a lot of effort and thought into it. It took me a while to figure out the mechanics of the game but thanks to Pennmom I figured it out.
The graphics are good. Not excellent but that does not take away from the fun.
The story line is intriguing. Different for sure.
The morphing object are well hidden as are the collectables.
You need the use your brain to figure thing out which is super. Just what we have all been wanting.

I had no problem downloading or opening. I believe the ones that did have this problem is a Big Fish problem. Not the dev's. I have had that exact problem on some of the games I have tried to purchase. Ever since the sale of BF they have had many problems and I believe not downloading properly and or not opening is due to the "new" BF platform.
Try this game and have a fun filled time!
I recommend this game!

This game is not really bad it . It is somewhat fun but there are no voice overs and the music was LOUD...turned it way down.
The graphics were okay. Some of the scenes were slow catching up to what I was clicking on-which you can click on anything and everything and it does not affect your score.
The racoon in each scene is very noticeable which you get extra points for finding it.
When I started the game it did plunk me down into the game with out any choices but this could be because I did not choose a player I simply clicked on play. Try the demo. It is a fun game if a tad boring.
I recommend this game!

My review is based on 30 minutes of the Demo. To me the game is very slow moving. I dislike that you have to click on dialogues to continue the game in each and every scene.
The graphics are good. The morphing objects are very noticeable at least to me.
The game seems geared to a younger player. What detective gives a bottle of water to another detective and says I am sure you will find a use for it? Which of course I did.
Along with the sponge I just happen to find. This is a typical Do game. So far I have encountered a broken zipper and a broken umbrella.

This is a no buy for me sale or no sale. BF could do so much better. Bring back some of the BETTER Devs.
The collectable were coupons???? Strange!
I don't recommend this game.

I truly dislike giving such a low rating but I could only play 40 minutes of the demo before I could not play another moment.
This game could target young and new players, but the seasoned players will be bored. Yes, to break the curse each time you must do the good ole "remove the tokens" ugh! How many times have we done this in games?
I get it from the title but sure hope you like Blue because it is everywhere. Kind of hard on the eyes.
The story line is in my opinion feeble and not real interesting.
The morphs and collectable are HUGE...no thought process needs to be used.
Try the game especially newbies.
I don't recommend this game.

Once Again, and again, and again we have the same tasks to do as in each DO game. Why can't they change things up at least a little?
The graphics are okay. Not up to DO standard in my opinion. Some of the HOs were too dark for me to make out some of the objects that I needed.
The color pallet is just about the same as all of their games. Too much purple or whatever you call it.
The puzzles were fairly easy even in the hard mode which tells me something as I am only an intermediate player with most puzzles, although I do love solving them. These were way too easy for me.
They do have the same match 3 game. I did not play it as it is sooooo boring and never changes but I clicked on it in hope that they mixed it up or at least changed the tiles. No such luck!
I actually feel this game is only worth 2 stars but I gave it 3 because beginners I believe will like it since they will be new to DO games and tasks.
Am I the only one wishing BF would go back to their old ways and give us some new devs? Please?????
I don't recommend this game.
A mystery-filled ride to unknown cosmic shores!

Wow, I purchased this game after 20 minutes of the demo. It is truly what we gamers have been asking for.
The graphics are good and the level of challenge is doable but the hint button is excellent should you decide to use it instead of the ole noggin. The strategy guide is the best I have seen in quite sometime. Very easy to read and understand incase you get stuck in the game.
There are so many things to find and do and fix (but not in the way most HO games today are.)
Not repetitive and certainly not boring.
Not repetitive and certainly not boring.
This is not a hard game to play once you understand the mechanics of it which is very well explained in the beginning of the game.
A real gem!!! Try it and have a whopping good time.
I recommend this game!
A bone-chilling mystery that will leave you questioning everything!

My review is based on the demo only, as I will not be purchasing this game.
As usual, the graphics are excellent as most Domini Games are however, that must be the one aspect that this Dev excels at. Oops, I take that back, they also excel at giving the gamer so many MENIAL tasks that it takes away from the story line and the game play. Oh yes, do not forget the collectables notes, notes, notes, everywhere along with pictures and all of the normal useless STUFF!
The story line seemed interesting enough except in the demo you do not get very far into the story for all of the tasks which made it slow moving and boring to me.
Try this game if you have not played any or many of Domini Games and you will probably like it. For the more seasoned players I would say it is a no purchase.
I don't recommend this game.

I truly did want to like this game but there were just too many things to prevent that. Yes, we have the color palette which is the same as most of this dev's games. The voiceovers are somewhat grating on my ears.
The collectable are almost laughable. Enchanted trees, magic creatures and dew drops- if you can see them. Each scene seemed so busy to me that it was a chore just to define the objects.
The graphics are way below par for this Dev. I opted to play the match 3 instead of the HO and in the middle of playing the match 3 the instructions for the HO popped up on the screen.
Perhaps you will enjoy this more than I. At least give it a try.
I don't recommend this game.
