I am a little addicted to HO games, mostly because I like to be submerged in a beautiful virtual world and be part of it. This game made me really happy: not only the graphics are truly beautiful (you can feel the cold and almost touch the snow). What I most appreciated in this game is that the actions you are asked to perform mostly make sense. In so many HO games you have to look in the most improbable places for the most improbable lock parts and this makes me feel really stupid. In this game however you really collect pieces of evidence that help build up the storyline: so refreshing!
Having played a lot (!) of hidden object games already, I especially loved this game because of the real immersion in the Russian world and soul. Every single detail in the scenes and in the hidden object scenes breaths Russia. The story line is that of a beautiful Russian legend, and there are also references to other Russian legends. The game is fun to play too, not over-challenging but you need to look around a lot and work for your progress. Loved to play it!
