Save Azada in this beautiful adventure. You have been chosen to defeat evil and find Azada’s essential elements that disappeared.
There are 3 modes of play: casual, advanced and fearless hero.
Storyline is amazing, I was hooked to it from the beginning, it’s like a beautiful fairytale. Graphics are top notch, so colorful and lovely. Many different creatures that you will meet along the way together with your little friend that helps you made this game even more beautiful. Characters are designed nicely and music is perfectly chosen.
You have a diary with your notes and tasks, also you have a map that allows travel and shows objectives.
Beside inventory you have a magic bottle, you can use it to find magic areas.
Hidden object scenes are absolutely great, lots of interaction, very well designed scenes with nice visibility. Puzzles are amusing, some of them were quite challenging and refreshing.
I will most definitely recommend this game, for all in the mood for one heart warming adventure!
I recommend this game!

You are an agent with a mission to stop Dimensional Vortex form destroying the world. You must go to the abandoned military hospital and find out what happened there many years ago..
2 modes of play: regular with sparkle indicators, hint button recharges fast; advanced with no sparkles and hint has slower recharge.
Storyline is excellent, I was very interested in discovering all the clues. Visuals are really good. Music is barely noticeable, but sound in the background were creepy and they contribute nicely to the atmosphere.
Sadly no map, only notes and your top secret documents that you collect along the way.
There are two types of hidden object scenes – one classic with listed objects ( interactive ), and other with shown objects that must be placed on the right spot.
Puzzles are numerous, most of them are tricky but that’s what makes it worth playing.
Really cool game, I recommend trying it out!
I recommend this game!

You as a detective must investigate some strange events that started during the annual celebration. Something happened 13 years ago on that same day and now mysterious organ grinder seeks his revenge with deadly outcome. Who is he, what happened 13 years ago, and will you be able to stop him?
3 modes of gameplay: casual with sparkle indicators, hint button recharges quickly; advanced with no sparkle indicators, hint takes longer to recharge; hardcore with no help in any way.
In CE version you have a strategy guide, bonus content – extra gameplay, extra mini-game, also you are collecting cursed cards, lost pets.
Story is fantastic, I was hooked from the very beginning, graphics and music are absolutely amazing, well designed characters and locations.
You have a map with all information you need- it shows place with your current task, objectives. There is no regular journal, but each time you collect one cursed card you basically get some of the information.
Hidden object scenes are very well done, cleverly hidden objects, but you don’t need to spent 15min in search for them, they are interactive, clear.
Puzzles are PERFECT, many different types of them, so it’s always interesting and it’s impossible to get bored. Level of challenge varies so it’s suitable for everybody.
I must say amassing game, definitely try it out! Worth every minute of playing!
I recommend this game!

Help the inspector to investigate missing of a young sailor, find out what happened and who is behind it !
2 modes of play: easy with no miss-click penalty in HOS, fast hint recharge, sparkle indicators; hard with penalties, fewer helpful sparkles, slower hint recharge.
Storyline is fantastic, if you are familiar with the original Sweeny Todd you will know what to expect. A great mystery with elements of horror and of course beautiful music!
Graphics are really good, I loved the whole look of London, perfect rainy atmosphere and detailed locations.
Map is very helpful, it allows you to travel through many different locations in London. You have a list of evidence for each chapter.
Speaking of hidden object scenes, well I must say, I was a bit disappointed. Way too many of them, and also most of HOS were like a junkpile so I wasn’t able to spot objects so easy.
Puzzles on the other side were fun, mostly easy but entertaining.
Despite the problem I had with HOS I enjoyed a lot playing this one!
I recommend it!

Help Princess Iris to become the Queen, and defeat evil King and his shadows. You must bring back the light by igniting the beacons, and liberate the town trapped in darkness.
Game has 2 modes: casual with tutorial and experienced without it.
I played in casual mode and I have to say that tutorial was really helpful. You have objective list that keeps track of your current tasks, I found it very useful because you don’t have a journal or map to figure out areas of interest. Also hint system is great, no recharge needed and objective will automatically display next one.
Storyline was quite good, as well as the graphics, also entering different paintings and cartoonish locations for me were more than interesting, I really loved the whole concept.
Speaking of the puzzles they were mostly challenging, in some I even used skip button. Lots of different ones and you must collect a lot of objects in order to solve them. There are no standard hidden object scenes, so this game is more for those who enjoy good puzzles.
I had a great time, try this one out!
I recommend this game!

Ones you found a beautiful old mansion with inexpensive rent you immediately packed your suitcases and decision was made. You moved in but very soon you will find out way the rent is sow low in a such magnificent manor.
3 modes in the game: casual- skip and hint recharge quickly, active zones highlighted; advanced- active zones are not highlighted, hint and skip buttons slowly recharge; hard- tips disabled, skip and hint buttons recharge very slowly.
Must say, storyline is outstanding, perfect combination of mystery and horror- Weird experiments, mad scientist,..but not actually so scary it’s rather fun and occasionally spooky
Good graphics, colorful. Really nice voice overs.
You have a journal during the game, no map, and you have a hologram cat- it will help you manipulate other creatures that you encounter on your way.
No hidden object scenes, that didn’t bother me cause I am a fan of puzzles, and they were just amazing.
I love when there is a variety of them, so you enjoy both challenging and easier ones. A lot of things to find and rooms to visit before you can play them, just constant interaction with the game.
My honest recommendations!
I recommend this game!

You witnessed the terrible crime committed by the gangsters. Unfortunately you’ve been spotted and now your life is in risk. They took you to the old cemetery on the cursed island and tried to bury you alive. But something unexpected happened. Somebody killed them and set you free, now you must find your way out of there..but that isn’t going to be easy…..
I was really blown away by fantastic graphics, cut scenes and dialogues with real people, and spooky locations! Game has 3 modes: regular- hint and skip buttons recharge quickly, active zones are highlighted; hard- active zones are not highlighted, hint and skip buttons take longer to recharge; expert- hint and skip recharges very slowly, no help in any other way.
During the game you have your notes-some sort of journal, with all the information that you came across. Sadly no map. But one interesting thing is that you have a crow that helps you along the way, for example if you can not reach some objects the crow will get them for you.
I loved numerous puzzles, mostly challenging and fun to solve. Hidden object scenes- just great, in order to solve them you must find different objects and then using them find others- some of them were quite hard ( cleverly hidden objects).
Really good game, definitely worth a try!
I recommend this game!

You are stuck at the ancient Mayan ship. In your search for your missing partner, you will soon find your self with a much bigger task. You must save the boy imprisoned on the galleon, and also free the ancient Mayan spirits that are trapped there.
3 standard modes + custom mode : casual with skippable puzzles after a short amount of time, no clicking penalty in HOS, hint button recharge faster; normal were hint button recharges at normal rate, penalty is on; hard with no help in any way; and custom where you can make your own arrangement.
Also you can change your difficulty mode at any time during play. Interactive help available.
Speaking of the storyline, this was perfect adventure with lots of thing going on, you have a feeling that you’re actually in the ancient time, surrounded by Mayan civilization. Definitely good plot, nice graphics and voice overs.
I must say this game has one of the best HOS I recently played, perfect amount of interaction and challenge, really enjoyed playing them. One more thing, if you are not a fan of them you can play Mahjong instead. Puzzles were ok, my opinion is that they were mainly easy( little disappointed).
During the game you have a journal, and a map, but not right away you’ll just get it after a short while, as well as the Mayan calendar ( it is needed to complete your journey and free the ancient spirits).
I had a great time playing this one and I most certainly recommend it.
I recommend this game!

After your husbands death you moved to a quiet town with your son in order to start a new life. After a while something strange happened- you had a nightmare and you just knew that something terrible is going to happen. Unfortunately you were right, your son just disappeared in front of you. Now you must find him and discover how is behind his disappearance.
There are 2 modes : regular with available hint button ( quick recharge ), active zones highlighted and no clicking penalty in HOS; expert with penalty for misclicking, active zones are not highlighted and hint and skip recharge slowly.
You have optional tutorial, no map during the game, but that didn’t bother me because you can easily move around. Also you have a journal which I found very useful (containing the clues you find during the game)
Storyline is pretty much interesting, you must find 15 blue crystals in order to find and save your son.
Graphics are very good, as well as the music and voice overs.
Hidden object scenes are interactive, clear, objects are not too hard to find. Important thing is if you don’t want to play HOS you can complete them through Match-3 game play. Puzzles are ok, not too much challenging, must say, there aren’t too many of them.
Anyhow, I like this game a lot, so 5 stars from me!
I recommend this game!

Your car crashed in the middle of nowhere and you need to find help. Unfortunately, you will find something much more disturbing that you could ever imagine..a dark secret that haunts once beautiful city!
The game has standard 3 modes: casual (with no penalties for rapid clicking in hidden object scenes, hint and skip button), challenge( mild penalties for misclicks) and extreme mode for gamers who enjoy a challenge ( no help in any way). Tutorial option available. Trophies are awarded for various achievements in the game. Hidden object scenes are with no interaction, not too hard. Puzzles were perfect, mainly challenging.
You have no map, my opinion is that you don’t need one any way in this particular game. Graphics are nicely done, voice overs are ok. For me, creepy music and sound effects in the game were just amazing, they contributed perfectly to the whole rainy and dark atmosphere.
Anyhow, I enjoyed this game a lot, and I honestly recommend it. Perfect way to spend one cold winter afternoon!
