I will start by saying that very creative people with a healthy sense of humor created it, the dialogues are humorous, you get the dialogue bubble with people making funny sounds, the graphics are great! different than your usual HO games, kinda 3D style, you get bunch of areas to explore, you get a map to know where you are, lots of objects to locate, different HO styles throughout the game, you collect money and buy things you will need to use later.
I love this game and highly recommend it for people that appreciate quality in games.
I recommend this game!

This is a good HO game. The storyline is nothing new and nothing exciting either, but, it exists so you will be able to help this game's ghostly heroes with their after life wishes. You start by being on an airplane, you get into a sudden storm, evil eyes looking at you from within the clouds, your airplane crashes to the sea, miraculously you survive, and you discover an island with ghosts that seek your help. Lame script, I wouldn't go to watch this movie. The graphics of this game are good, I enjoyed playing the HO scenes, You find objects and you use them in the various scenes. Hint button recharges fast skip button available and puzzles are OK, this game is not to difficult, and its good for spending time.
I recommend this game!

I played this game for a few just to get frustrated, if I play a game and I feel frustrated and it's not because I have a mosquito buzzing in my room it's because the game was not well thought off while being created! This game lacks imagination and performance. Hidden objects are small and at times hard to find. First scene there were 3 insects I had to find and guess what, they were nowhere to be found, they waited and I wasn't fast enough so they took off! Hint recharges, not fast enough to get over the frustration of looking for objects that are well hidden and don't want to be discovered! They really took this hidden objects idea and pushed it to the limit in this game. Hidden you say? how about camouflaged! ah! see if you can find them now!
Needless to say but I'll say it anyway, I do not recommend this game. I of course uninstalled it not even gonna finish the demo if I wanted to look for microscopic objects I would be a scientist working in a lab.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is well made, graphics are clear and well designed, music is cheerful and suitable for this fun game, hint button is very helpful if you're getting lost and don't know what to do next it will transport you to the location you need getting to next. I liked the extra challenge of combining objects in order to find them on the list. I gave this game 4 stars and not 5 because I do not like the font of the HO list, I also think that it is hard to read blue words written on this grayish background, but beside this technical difficulty I think that the game has lots of fun moments, I purchased it and recommend it to all that appreciate great HO games.
I recommend this game!

It be an excellent HO/puzzle game! everythin' in it captured me eyes from th' moment I started till I finished th' demo. Th' graphics be amazing, me fellow players. Th' story that be told 'o band 'o pirates, 'n their cap'n that kidnapped ye girly offsprin' ye be th' mom that suppose to set her free while searchin' fer hidden objects 'n solvin' puzzles. Hidden objects be well made 'n some need extra action taken to find them, I lust more challenge in a game 'o 'tis genre! I gave it five stars because i didn't find any flaws in th' game. th' music ads to th' atmosphere 'n hint button loads fast 'n helps in directin' ye when ye be stuck. So why don't ye give a go' th' demo 'n spy wit' ye eye fer yourself, adventures wit' them band 'o pirates be a ruckas in 'tis game!
I recommend this game!

This game is brilliant. It is a simple click and play, you find objects and then place them where they belong in order to make the game's plot progress. It is not a HO game, by the way. Graphics are well made, gameplay is smooth and fast reacting. This game's developers put the extra time and everything they had in order to make the cutscenes looking as real as can be, with actors instead the usual animation, and music that creates the atmosphere needed for this kind of thriller genre.
From only playing the demo I established a need to own this game...
I recommend this game!

My eyes weren't happy with this game I can tell you that. My brain was like: "must we keep on playing this...thing? what did I do to deserve this?" I love my eyes, I love my brain, and I need both so after trying the demo I went ahead and uninstalled this dysfunctional game. Nothing in this game made me want to keep on playing. Why they made the objects so tiny? why they wrote the HO list so tiny? I am not really expecting an answer, I am just complaining about this. Now I don't know why they made itsy bitsy objects in this game maybe they were thinking that everybody has at least 50" monitor so they can see something on the screen??? The plot is boring, I did not care for it, and we were better off without the annoying puzzles. Skip button is cool though! I won't tell you guys what to do I dislike when other try doing that to me I can only recommend you to bravely try even for a minute or so and decide.
I don't recommend this game.

No doubt in my mind that graphics in games just getting better as game developers find brilliant ways to develop the technology for that. The graphics in this game are impressive and I must add, the way all games of this type should be, images clear, objects are well defined, cutscenes are well made. I however was less impressed with the no challenge at HO scenes. There are not to many objects so it is very easy to find the objects in the list. it's not hidden objects but more like "yep, we're here, just click on us already!" puzzles didn't do it for me, and programming glitches were noticeable,,,image name? no proof reading before in a hurry to get the game out?
Storyline is OK, makes me wonder if all ideas are taken, no original ones anymore? but I reckon it's easy to use one that worked before, not complaining, this story is good enough to hold this game.
The music was not taking over or to noisy at the same time not all that well composed, at least in my opinion.
I played the demo and will buy the full game eventually but only when in deal.
I recommend this game!

I played the demo and based on that I can say that it is OK HO game. It reminds me of other games that have the same formula, nothing new and exciting with this game, have a storyline of you saving the day, playing HO scenes get items and place them in the proper places in various scenes. Graphics are good, sometimes objects can be to small for me to locate but for the most part they are good. Collector edition has a strategy guide and it helps when you get stuck, I used it, it is well made. Hint option functions well, music is a matter of a personal taste, for me it was bearable nothing more or less. no bugs no glitches, smooth gameplay. I definitely recommends to try the demo see if it's something that will get you hooked.
I recommend this game!

There are way better match 3 games out there...
This match 3 game is "eh" nothing more than just that. I played better quality well designed match 3 games and yes I do like to compare, especially when it comes to having the ultimate experience, I want to know I made the right decision I do have standards.
Graphics are OK, gameplay is nothing new but confusing since they change type of game during the scene you play, a game within a game within a game...inception style.. I played the demo and noticed they raise the challenge level as you progress in the game which is good but still easy stuff. I have to say that it does look like a cheap unsophisticated version of other match 3 games like "Jewel quest" series.
response time of this game is great, helps to play fast matching colorful tiles and bombs go boom! still not all that fancy. I did not care for the plot the whole game wasn't my cup of tea I did not see myself getting addicted to it like I do with other games worth playing.
Music OK but we don't keep a game just for that. I say, skip, keep your $$ for a better game I know I will.
I don't recommend this game.
