I played the hour demo. I liked that there were a variety of things to do at each scene - HOGS; finding words; book search and that it was not timed. I am big fan of books and parables turned into good games and this is a good game! Of course the 1st purchase for my library was the cat! This game is definitely on my "to but" list.
I recommend this game!

Beautifully illustrated and great music. The card layouts are elaborate and challenging (and I am glad I don't have to deal them myself). I like playing different variations of solitaire. My only negative is that the story is unnecessary.
I recommend this game!

I was hoping with Nat Geo - as they do such good stuff in magazine and on TV - that it would be interesting both visually and story. I played the trial and lost interest half way through. I like HOGS and even though I am relatively new, I have been spoiled by the graphics of other games. This felt very flat. The hidden objects were all over the scene and very unrelated to anything (wooden clog, safety pin). In my short time of play I hit about 7 locations and half the scenes were repeats. But the music and sound effects were the most trying. Every time you find an object a bell tolls - very distracting - wasn't sure if I was in For Whom the Bell Tolls or It's a Wonderful Life. Hopefully they can do some collaborating with another studio and concept team and improve the games. I think there is a niche out there for this type of game if well done.
I don't recommend this game.
