This game was quite the production. It's a different game from run of the mill HOGS. The game however follows the excellence of prior MCF games. This game requires, even the casual mode player, to use their recall. Paying close attention to location surroundings is necessary.
The art work, actors, cut scenes and storyline very good.
My thanks to the entire production team, developers and QA, as one might say "you did good!".
Now I await a sequel.

Superb, imaginative and well told story. Artwork, cut scenes, hidden object scenes all well produced. Can't believe there would be any one of this planet who would not find this game a blockbuster of the year.
I love morphing objects, didn't find them all but had a great time trying.
Good work and thank you!
I recommend this game!

Played the SE version. I had quite a lot of enjoyment playing the game. I actually found myself anxious to feed the elephant.
I think those who choose to play will enjoy another Mephistus series. The game seemed short however packed with plenty of seek, find and use. The CE version should afford longer play.
I recommend this game!

I have enjoyed each of the games that S.G. has stared in and this one no exception. I found the game most entertaining. I loved the monkey, he made me laugh and when S.G. suffered an electrical zap I was most amused. Good work on this production.

I thought at first this was a new game to me then I realized I had played before. I truly enjoyed as I have all the Redemption games. Just as I think they can not get any better, they one up the last. Try this game and the others for hours of enjoyment.
Now I think I think a replay is in order. I wish you great gaming.
I recommend this game!

The game made me wish I had a ton of magic powder to rid the obstacles in my life's path.
This was a lengthy game and I felt I got my money's worth. I played in the hard mode however a few times I needed help and the games hint system came to the rescue.
One mini game I was able to solve by accident only once. Thankful for the skip feature because that particular challenge was presented more than once.
Good buy, great play.
I recommend this game!

This origin of the twisted land was well what can I say fabulously twisted. Artwork was outstanding and the story line was enjoyed.
Few times I was twisted around but the hint showed me were to trek next.
I suggest that all play this game and its partner game.
I truly had a great time playing this production and I hope you do as well.

Sometimes even good games fade towards the end but not this one. This game did not falter with its story line. The Bonus Chapter was revealing.
The art work was terrific and I appreciated the ability to swap modes. I am one who likes not having to resort to the SG and the mode switch allowed me to bootstrap myself from a hopelessly lost status.
Good work development team you pulled off a great production.
I recommend this game!
