I am a huge fan of the New Yankee series and have faithfully purchased the games over time. This is the first time I am completely disappointed in a game.
This game looks like a rush job to just push out the next edition. It is buggy (e.g. graphics freezing randomly, mouse selections unavailable) and was clearly not given a thorough walkthrough.
2 specific examples come to mind:
1. The transition screen used in the first few levels is easily recognizable as one of the bandits from the Golden Rails series.
2. At the end of Level 5, you get stuck looking for footprints and I have been unable to even get past it. You get the magnifier, Max finds what looks like chicken footprints and then no other prints show up.

I don't recommend this game.

This games looked like it had great potential but sadly it was a dud. I only finished the main game because I paid for the Collector's Edition but couldn't stomach sitting through the bonus play. The game is all over the place and the constant need to "decipher" speech and messages was tedious at best. The memory moments did little to move along the story and I many of the puzzles seemed to stick. I would not recommend this game.

I would call this game in congruent at best. The interactive dialog is painful. Many of the in game clues are so subtle or nonchalant in delivery that I spent more time writing things down and staring at the screen than enjoying the game.
I play a lot of these on the hard settings and this is the first time I had to search for a walkthrough to choke my way through it.
I don't recommend this game.
