I hesitated on buying the CE. I'm glad I waited. I got the SE half price and thoroughly enjoyed it. Interesting HOGs. Find things to work other items, finding hidden pieces of something in the HO. Different from the old run of the mill squint and search. Story was easy to follow and kind of made sense in a fairy tale kind of way. I couldn't buy cutsie things for the cat helper, but not a big deal to me. Was a very good length. I played almost 4 1/2 hours and skipped any puzzles I didn't like. There were a few. I hate the puzzles where you have to turn all lights on or off and clicking one changes others. (gets my ADD riled) All in all, I consider it worth the money unlike a few short stinkers I have bought lately.
I recommend this game!

This game surprised me. It had some new variations to finding the object in the HOGS. One of my favorites was finding keys to unlock drawers to find objects and more keys. There wasn't a lot of handholding and I had to figure some of the hidden areas within hidden areas myself..
Story flowed nicely and actually made sense. Has couple of endings so I need to go back and see what happens if I pick the other ending. Only downside was the length. It was short but still worth the time and money.

I like most games, but removed this before the demo was finished. Was slow to zoom on areas of interest and had these videos stuck in the middle that made no sense. Things of interest were small and hard to see. Highly frustrating and not a fun game for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed the game, but it was over too soon. There is a bonus chapter so I hope it is longer to make the game worth the money.
I don't recommend this game.

Once I got involved in the game I started liking it better. However, I really don't like a game to leave me hanging with no conclusion. I don't feel I should have to buy another game to get some kind of resolution in the first game.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on demo: This game cannot hold a candle to City of Fools. That game was just plain fun. This was a bit boring. You could go anywhere in City to find things. This game restricts access to all areas except a few. Takes a lot of the fun of exploring out of game. I haven't decided about buying this game. Glad I tried it but disappointed.
I recommend trying this game before buying.

After about 10 minutes of this mess I gave up and deleted the demo. Waste of time.

I rarely rave about games, but this is one fine game. I started it, had to buy it, and had to stay up to the wee hours to finish it.
I recommend this game!
