I just finished the main game and the bonus chapters.
That took me more than 8 hours and I enjoy these hours!
And now I just want to play it again as I found there's "easter egg" haven't been revealed.

VISUAL / SOUNDS -
Gorgeous graphics as usual!
Dark gothic, not much horror but magnificent enough to take your breath away!
Perfectly match with the music / ambiance sounds, everything looks alive in the game.
Especially I love the music in the game.
The main theme, the waltz, the character theme music...etc. all of these are beautiful and touching. It's like movie soundtrack music and all in high quality.
To be honest, I seldom download the music from a game even they are available in the bonus content in a game.
But I downloaded them all from CURSERY in my playlist!

MINI GAMES / FROG -
There's a lot of mini games and a few FROG (compare with the other games made by BLUE TEA).
FROG is okay for me. The are easy and the finished object is exquisite.
It excellent for me and all the mini game lovers.
These mini games are different from the boring typical puzzle you found in other games. (My favourite one is "3 Blind Mice".)
The game level is not too difficult but quite challenging.
Most of them are easy to understand the control and what you need to do.
I like the instrustion is written in rhyme. I can guess the riddle what should I do in the mini game first (actually most of them are easy).
Even it's really talking in riddle, I can see the real instruction by switching a button.

STORY -
Story is amazingly attractive!
It's okay if you skip all the words and notes in the game, you can still enjoy the playing time. But if you care the story, you gain extra fun!
It's not only a simple story about a bad guy kidnapped maidens and you need to defeat him.
I thought it's a so-so story, just like a commonplace to be seen in many games.
But I was wrong!
Get into the story by reading the notes or diary you picked in the game, you will know the reason behind the villain. You are going to knowing the whole picture bit by bit, pieces by pieces.
(Sorry, I don't want to spoil too much here. ;) )
I enjoy the experience of exploring the story by myself.
Besides, there's many symbolism used in the game. (A room having many birdcages, the "M" symbol showing everywhere...and I still doubt that the "M" representing Mother Goose, or Marianne, or other things else...).
I would like to play it again and see there's any "hidden message" given by the developer. (Just see in forum, seems the of name of "Housing Company" in bonus chapters is a fun!! :D)

I do hope (Please, BLUE TEA!) and looking forward to see this sequel.
The best game I played recently!
If I could rate more, I would give it 10 stars!
What else could I comment....

It was really amazing to see a such high quality game.
Artwork:
Spectacular scenery and gorgeous jewels inlaid items drive you into a fantasy world. The scenery like the elven homeland "Rivendell" in LOTR.

Story:
I really love the story. The story of most HOS game I have played before were too short, simple or even nonsense. The story told with th world setting of "Enchantia" is just grand and epic. In the Enchantia, there's different races and they all had their own stories or problems. They can be treated independent but actualy they are part of the main story. Just like our realistic world! The story of dwarf even made me had cried 2 times.
Even the story content is profuse, you never feel the gameplay is paused by the long-winded words. Story content are not forced to read in dialogue or movie, but explored by yourself from the scenery.
There's even Characters' profile in bonus content for you to go through the world of Enchantia more if you love the story.

Gameplay:
There's many characters and you can talk to all of them. But you never forced to talk or any important information will be missed if you skipped to talk. For the player who just enjoy the game, you can just enjoy the game. There's objective reminds you what should do next.
There's even a choice for you in the game, choosing which gang (Horse or Wolf) you would like to help. That's creative in hidden object game instead of a linear gameplay in a planned story.
I would like to have more "decision making" in the game.

I do hope it will be a serial and look forward to the next chapter!

It's interesting at the very beginning. But I found there's too much words and dialogue. I feel like I was reading a detective fiction more than playing a game.
Too much information from characters. Once I skipped few of their dialogue, I feel I am no longer with the story immediately and lost my objective. When I have played through Chapter 1, that's already very tired for me on people's talking.
I want a game can be played smoothly but the long dialogue paused the gameplay.
The story might be not bad. But I just reached the limit of my patience to complete the game. Perhaps I will pick it up again someday.
