Graphics were great. Story line had amazing potential. It wasn't very long though. when I went into casual play, it was vey limited as well. They could have done so much more with this one! While I don't regret getting it, it was a let down. :(
Let's get farming in this unique Hidden Object farming simulator hybrid! Harvest the perfect crop, sell it at the market and search the farm for treasures!
I tried the demo, and couldn't leave it alone! The quality is fab. The music in each hidden object scene is just beautiful. If you like Farmville, or Pioneer Trails on FB, then you will LOVE this! (It is like those, combined with Gardenscapes!) YEE HAW! Along with HO, you plant crops, sell them, upgrade farm decor and more. You add animals, feed them, harvest them.. I just cannot put this one down! Ü Sometimes, the "sleepers" end up being the best!

I have all the D.P. games, and this was a real let down! The storyline had so much potential! BUT~ I should have waited for the reg. version, HOWEVER... since I own all the CE., I got this too. What I liked: *Great graphics, and sound quality *Puzzles had different challenge levels, and that was nice. What I HATED: > The girls' costumes.. really? If I want to see cleavage, I will look elsewhere, thanks. > The map wasn't the greatest.. didn't like the way it was set up. > The storyline. I felt it lacked imagination and creativity. I also felt like they threw in the character from a previous game at the end, because they ran out of original ideas! It was very slow moving as well. This game just didn't grab me like the others did. I did the trial version, but hoped to like the full version better. sorry... I really didn't like it... Will try to get a credit for it...
The last few CE games I have purchased haven't been worth it, so I was VERY cautious about spending 2 credits on this one, but the demo (which is wayyy too short)hooked me. I am SOOOO glad I did! The game play time was really substantial, which I liked a lot. the visual effects were gorgeous, as well as the music. The puzzles varied in their difficulty, and I liked that. The plot may have been done on lots of games, but hey... I like me a good murder / curse mystery, LOL! It had a couple twists at the end that I didn't see coming. This is well worth the CE!
I recommend this game!

When this 1st came out, I read the intro, and was underwhelmed. Then, a couple of months ago, I was able to beta test the sequal, and was hooked, so I snatched this up, and It's a blast. As a FORMER MCF addict, I have purchased MANY, MANY games from this site (H.O# and this was very refreshing, lite hearted #as lite as murder can get, LOL!#, and never TOO DARK / grisley! #Sorry MCF fans) I keep finding myself playing it over, and over, and now I watch the show re-runs too! Too much fun!
Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story-if you escape.

I did love the morphing objects, the sound quality, and graphics were awesome, but over all It was way too dark for me it got really weird, and VERY disturbing. (Especially the "childhood" bit) I also didn't like the direction they took the story - I felt they ruined the original plot. I didn't like the video aspect of it. I will be asking for a refund, come Monday. Sadly, MCF~ I WON'T be buying another. (I have them all so far...)
