Well, giving 3 or less stars to this game, is in my opinion, pure nonsense. When I play a game, I "devour" the game and I found only negligable bugs technically. The graphics are VERY good, even though I cruelly played it on a 27 inch 2560*1440 monitor, cutscenes, flow of the plot, the clever HOPs, funny additions into a fantastic-grim tale creating a very entertaining balance, sufficient extras and an unfortunately a very short yet interesting bonus game, makes this game worth buying. The voice-over acting is well over average, there are almost no load times, very clever ways to make the game be playable without boredom and the characters are finely created.
So, I firmly suggest you buy this game...
It really is a good one!
I recommend this game!

It's always good to see that hidden object games are improving every day and Eipix is doing a remarkable work in this regard.
This review is done after finishing the CE with both game and bonus chapter.
First of all, the demo part would never give you the intelligence that Eipix put into the psychology of the gameplay.
The game starts easy (almost too easy) and then gets addictively harder, sophisticated and fast. This has almost become the "formula" Eipix uses to enchant the gamers.
It has almost perfect animated scenes, almost perfect voiceovers, a very good storyline, clever and modified hidden object scenes and minigames.
Even though I played the game using a huge 27'' screen with 2560*1440 resolution, the details were excellent. The camera angles and its clever moves were powerfully done.
The gaming engine that Eipix uses gives the player the opportunity to play the game very fast, therefore "boredom is seldom".
The logic behind the gameplay is cleverly crafted thus there are almost no logical "bugs", except for some minor issues, which is immaterial to my opinion.
The game cursor is huge and in fast play, the mapping of the scene can make you go back a scene while trying to click an object close to the inventory. This should be looked at.
The background music is not annoying and blends with the atmosphere.
The smiles and even laughs you give out while playing is seldom in the game, therefore because it is not a horror or thriller HO game, they may have been more to further put the player into the game.
As a Collector's Edition, it is quite satisfying. The bonus chapter has new characters, not entirely new but beautifully modified atmosphere, a new story, sufficient extras etc.
As a result, the game becomes one of the better games of its genre and gives very promising thoughts about how Eipix may be leading this sector.
Clearly recommended.

JC
I recommend this game!
