I know there are a ton of reviews already, but I just wanted to say how fun and refreshing this game is. There are so many hidden object games that are released, it's hard to get one that has unique qualities to it. This game is one. It's not a difficult game, even on expert mode, and I do like a challenge, however, the difference and originality of the puzzles and mini-games, combined with very colorful graphics and subtle ambient music, makes this game one of my highest recommended purchases ever.
A mysterious plague casts a dark shadow on the people of Persia. The young apothecary Tara must discover the cause of the illness before it's too late!
This game was so much fun. Even on 'difficult' level it still was pretty easy and some of the puzzles were almost too easy to solve. That however didn't distract from the game but kept the story moving at a perfect speed. This is definitely one to check out if you haven't already.
I like the mini games and puzzles in this one. Most were quite easy to beat, even on 'Hard' mode, some not quite so. All however kept the pace of the main story going without detaining me for very long, or needing to use the 'Skip' function. Two of the challenges are my personal favorites, and it's those where there's a control panel and I have to solve various puzzles on it, in various sequences, to succeed. There were a couple of glitches in the game, at least on my home pc running Windows 10. One mini game became black except for the items to find (which made it a snap to complete however) and a part of the story involving a double-candle stick and the need to put candles on top and which moved me to another room each time I did. There's a certain spot where it worked and took me a few tries to find it. These two issues weren't severe enough where the game became unplayable or not enjoyable. It's definitely one to play and full of extras to do beyond the main story.

I've been playing this game for a week now, and still am. My only gripe is the program's difficulty arrangement. It's gotten to where identical values constantly pop up on the talon, diminishing my stack and chances. It's like someone bought a new deck of cards and suddenly forgot how to shuffle. I understand the challenges should increase further in and you can use your collected coins to upgrade things and better your chances, but it's just the repetition of the playable values that's annoying to me.

Stop the chains from filling the track in this marble-popping adventure. Only you can decide how fast each level will end!
This game has many similarities to the Luxor series, with enough differences to make it fresh and legal. It's a fun version of that premise with a really cool, almost steam-punkish atmosphere.
This has been a very satisfying game. The visuals and artwork are visually engaging and the game is not only big, but full of new challenges and puzzles that I've never seen even variations of before. Some are quite tough and you'll be proud of yourself should you not click 'Skip' on at least one of them. I skipped 2 times, not too proud of myself, but props to the game. This game gets my definite recommendation. Catch it at a discount and you'll be getting a bargain for the price.
One of my favorite aspects of this game is that the scenes are zoomed in closer, and none are burdening. The story and game flows excellently without tedious back-tracking. The music and atmospheres are excellent. I did breeze through it, even set to 'hardcore' skill level. But that's fine, I actually prefer it that way. Well, done.
If I could give 1/2 stars this would have got a 3 1/2 stars in overall and level of challenge. Even in the hardest difficulty setting I breezed through it pretty quickly. There's very little backtracking that's further than just a couple of locations from wherever you are, which is nice. The music and atmosphere was excellent, gave a nice sense of the locations without overbearing. My download has a glitch and on the final level the curser flickered, but that was just an annoyance.
This game was a fun experience. I loved the Mayan influence and the music. Even on 'hard' mode, I burned right through it. So, it wasn't the most challenging of games. It was however, a welcome change in atmosphere and quite enjoyable. Highly recommended for any casual gamer.

This was very fun to play. The visuals and atmospheres are well done and the fantasy story goes interestingly all the way from childish frog prince characters to having to slit your hand with a knife, fit together perfectly for a visually fun game. Well done!
