The story is great and the game play offers the perfect level of challenge. The presentation is polished and it even offers a bonus chapter that follows the second main character.
I felt that there were too many puzzles and not enough HOS's, but it was all well done. The only thing that was lacking was a decent story line. A witch is trying to cause problems for every one for no apparent reason. The story only seems to be an afterthought to provide an excuse to play the game. I enjoyed the game even without a decent plot. Most of the puzzles were fun and a few were very difficult. The HOS's were top notch.
The game play was a lot of fun and I finished the game in one sitting. I was disappointed in the story line. I didn't find it compelling and I felt a little lost as far as the reason I was there doing all of this. The ongoing puzzles were my only motivation to continue. I wasn't impressed with the atmosphere at all. I don't feel the game play alone is enough to lure me back, so I probably won't play this again.
The first cut scene draws you in and you don't want to stop until the end of the bonus content. The story was good and the artwork and atmosphere were excellent. You feel as though you are really visiting this beautiful island.
The game play is just the right level of difficulty to make it interesting without making it frustratingly hard.
The story is boring and the ghost that keeps appearing isn't scary or interesting in any way
The HOS's are a joke. Half way through the game the lists quit showing up and I still got through them in under 30 seconds by just randomly clicking on objects!
Some of the puzzles were interesting.
You will use the hint button often to find out what you are supposed to do next.
There are a lot of games that are fun to play. This game is not one of them. I would suggest that you try something else.
I don't recommend this game.

The game looks and sounds very good. The story is well done and the voice acting is decent as well.
The puzzles were only average, but my main complaint is the HOS. Most of the objects aren't hidden. They are just lying around in plain sight. I don't need the option to play Mahjong, as I already have a Mahjong game.
It is worth a play, but I would have appreciated more effort in making the game more challenging.
