Beautifully executed game with a musical theme.which was followed through all the way. Loved the hints trail with all the piano keys swirling and all the games were appropriate. Graphics light and bright, unlike the monsters and caves which can be too dim to see where anything is. I only wish I had not played it already, so I could play it all over again. More like this please.
I really loved this game, in particular the bright and clear graphics. I am very tired of the dark and gloomy caves we have to play in in most of the BigFish games. Peering through small bright tubes in a moodily lit screen to get from one place to another no longer enthralls me, and I just loved the wide open feel of all this game's scenarios. Great innovative puzzles as well so well done, and MORE please :)
I am only an hour into this game and I love it more than any of the last 10 or so I have bought. I am over the dark moody graphics and scenery I have been getting and these ones are really stunning. Even the Queen character is beautifully drawn. Puzzles are a particular reason I wanted to comment because they are SO innovative and different from many other games. I am delighted to still have some hours yet to play and will be very sad when I finish, and scrabbling through your files for another like it. THANK you.
I recommend this game!

Lovely looking game so I bought it without a long trial and wish I had not. bothered. Very, very few puzzle games that were NOT of the swap tiles variety, which I enjoy but they are the lazy way to program a puzzle to my mind. Waste of money in my opinion.
I don't recommend this game.

The game looks OK but I like to use the Guide which is why I pay for the CE versions. However all images in the included guide for this one are extremely unclear and seem to be very low res, making it impossible to see where the diagrams are indicating. The actual game screens are also well below what I consider to be mininal levels of detail. I have restarted several times trying to get into the game but its driving me crazy, I will try and look for a walkthrough with much clearer screen grabs. Meantime thne game is just taking up hard drive space

Game looked very promising at demo level with very nice graphics so I bought the full version. What a disappointment! There was nothing in the complete version that I had not seen in the demo version as I returned over and over again to the same boring locations and performed the same style of actions on the same set of items.
Slight interest in the reverse HOG action, but I found the miniature graphics too small to find things, even with the large attached labels, but the labels only served to cover up many of the objects. The story line was all out of sequence and I wasn't able to make decisions about WHICH was the most suitable action to carry out next as there did not seem to be any logical progression, rather skipping about the set of destinations with no specific sense of where to go next!
Absolutely NOT recommended
I don't recommend this game.

MORE Botanica Games please. The graphics quality just made this for me with the beautiful drawings and fine detail. The quality of the puzzles was superb and like the locations these were beautifully drawn as well. I am not sure about the sound as I like to play without it but I enjoyed changing characters as the story played out. One of the best I have played this year!!
I recommend this game!

Poor quality drawing detail with much florid overdecoration Magnifying glass pops up all over the place including in non active areas, far too many FROG games in which the fragmented objects to find made no sense and the final found objects were too ornate to even see what their purpose is. Lovely graphics but map did not enlarge nor could you click to go to another indicated area of interest. I felt it was a waste of money, mainly because of the endless repetition of gameplay.
