I guess this is for really young players, as the hand points to the next thing you have to do. Can't find if this "hand holding" can be disabled or not.

It is too bad that this game got so many poor reviews. It is, I agree, very easy and probably not Collector quality. But I think Beginners will enjoy it. Sometimes not bad to have an easy game to play. A lot of time and talent goes into producing these games. So, perhaps more will purchase it when it is a Standard edition. As usual, like it buy it, don't like it don't buy it. Always your choice. So, I recommend this game for Beginners or if you just want a relaxing, easy game.
I recommend this game!

It looked like it would be fun so I downloaded it. Problem is, my mouse cursor floats all over the place and I cannot control it. Never had this problem with any other game. Maybe a restart will fix it. Hopefully.
I don't recommend this game.

I am kind of enjoying it, however the PuppetShow editions have changed very drastically over the past few years. I played the first ones over and over again. Lately, once is enough. Maybe time to shelve this series?
I recommend this game!

The main game was okay. Not very long considering it is a Collector's Edition. However, the Bonus Game was the shortest one I have ever played. Why bother?
I recommend this game!

Too advanced for me I guess (79 years old). I am sure smarter people than me will enjoy it. Never could figure out what to do next. Very complicated to say the least. I will pass on this one. Too many other great games for me to play.
I recommend this game!

I played the demo and at the beginning I was not sure I would even want to continue playing. Very old school. However I played and enjoyed it very much. Certainly not a difficult game, but every now and then this kind of game is refreshing. I will probably buy it when I get a coupon. Try it, you maybe will like it!
I recommend this game!

Would be better if the puzzles were larger. Also, no save feature which is a big plus so you don't have to start over each time.
I don't recommend this game.

I loved all the other Mystery Case Files (or at least all of them). This one was more like a Puzzle Case File. Puzzles at every turn. Where was the storyline? Sorry, not my cup of tea.
I don't recommend this game.

I do like the game, however most of the time the objectives are not very clear. Mostly a guessing game on my part to see what I am suppose to be doing.
I recommend this game!
