I think this was one of the first HOG I played It dates back to 2012 and I just replayed it. Didn't remember playing it the first time. It's the first game in the Maestro series back when we had a plethora of developers. I'd personally go with the SE since the CE offers nothing. Be forewarned, this is true of games from this long ago. Lost of HOS. And I do mean A LOT. Some are very dark and there is a misclick penalty that you can avoid by not overclicking rapidly. The hint takes a long time to charge both in HOS and mini games. However, it's a fun game and something different than the fairy tale games we are now getting.
I recommend this game!

This felt exactly like a Dark Romance game and I have always liked those. Thus I'm giving this 3 stars. The game itself actually wasn't bad if you take away dispersing the smoke, dispersing the steam, dispersing the smoke again, building a ladder or 2 etc etc. All the usual Domini aspects are in here. Not very much to do with werewolves or a cursed moon but oh well. I would get the SE if I did it over. The bonus chapter was absolutely awful. Made no sense at all and was just awful filler. If you want a super easy game, I recommed.
I recommend this game!

I thought I was really going to like this game. The first chapter was pretty good. After than it became nonsensical and just plain dull. More tedious than anything. It was different than what we've been getting in games, but that doesn't make it good. Seems like it set out to be a nice long game in chapter 1 then someone got tired of writing and just blew past the rest of it including the bonus chapter. I do not recommend this game.

This is a series, and game 1 was really good. This second installment was very good. Much more fantasy than the first, but Oh so fun. Brave Giant puts out some great games with so many different things to do. It's from 2016, so there are a lot of HOS but they are fun. There is a story to the game. You are not just running around grabbing fans to disperse smoke. If you haven't tried this series, I suggest it highly. Something different and fun.
I recommend this game!

I got this as a free game. I liked the other 2 so figured I'd give it a try. Just awful. There was no story whatsoever. The entire game was piecing things together. New characters were introduced in the bonus chapter and I had no idea who they were because immediately, I had to piece more things together for the entire bonus chapter. I would not recommend this game and definitely Elephant can do much better than this. This was super short and lacked any excitement at all.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is from 2017 and is a Domini game. Before they started their "every task is the same" routine. It has a dark aspect to it, but it's a very good game. You'll really need to hunt for those tarot cards. I found them very hard to see. HOS are great as are the puzzles. The story is immersive and not simply a whole lot of running around getting nowhere. If you haven't played this or any of the older games in this series, give them a try. They're good.
I recommend this game!

So, this must be Domini's 4th or 5th new series in the past month or 2. This one takes the cake and not in a good way. I am currently playing an old Domini game (Mystery Tale), and the difference is like night and day. There is no story to speak of. How can there be a story when you spend the entire game looking for a fan to disperse the smoke, or a magnet to open the drawer? That's not a story. Absolutely zero challenge involved. A 5 year old can play this easily. There is nothing, and i do mean NOTHING, different about this game compared to the last 20 they released. Does Domini read these reviews? I'd think not or something would have changed. this is a no buy for me and I do not recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

It may not exactly be a Christmas game, but it is a Christmas season game. For me, this one outdid the other 2 which were recently put out by other developers. I found this bright and cheery and very interesting to play. The puzzles and game itself were on the easy side but that is OK for a seasonal game. The HOS were a bit different and I enjoyed them. I was NOT fixing steaming pipes, smoking pipes, missing books, using my magnetism to open drawers. That was a relief. I'd take this FF game over the bland every game is the same developer any day.
I recommend this game!

This is game 2 in the Wanderlust series. Definitely not as good as the first game. A lot of annoying chatter by very unlikable characters. The daughter, who is grown, is an awful whiny person. The mother is very odd. Not sure what to make of the rest of the bunch. The game took me awhile to get into, but eventually I liked it and it was quite a nice long game. I suggest you play the demo. See how you feel.
I recommend this game!

This game is 3 years old, but I just now played it. I am not usually a fan of Mad Head games in general, so I let it sit and sit and sit. It took me awhile to get into this story as archaeology isn't my forte, but the game took off and ended up being very good. I didn't get the CE since I wasn't sure I'd like the game at all. I regret now not buying the CE. Mad Head always has great morphs and collectibles. If you haven't played this yet, give it a try. I had bought the whole series, so I am on to the next one.
I recommend this game!
