I think this is a 4-star game, at least for me. If the bonus chapter had been longer I may have given it 5 stars. I don't really understand some of the low ratings. Had a lot of fun with it.
I recommend this game!

I will be buying every FiveBN game that Big Fish offers, without playing the demo. I always know I'll get a quality game and definitely get my money's worth. I'm not finished with this one yet (it's a long game!) but I had to stop to write a review. Fun HOP's and mini-games, some that take a while to solve, which I really like. Just a great game! Thanks, FiveBN!
I recommend this game!

Beautiful, colorful game with just the right challenge. Nice length, even in the bonus game. Enjoyed the mini-games and completed them all. Earned all the achievements. The music was nice. Voiceovers could have been better but I never deduct a star for that. All in all, a great game.
I recommend this game!

Loved everything about this game except one mini-game that wasn't solvable because of a glitch. Very frustrating because I pride myself on not skipping them. Everything else was top-notch. The challenge was just right; I don't care for games that are too easy. 5BN is my new favorite developer. I know I can purchase their games without playing the demo. Highly recommend this game.
I recommend this game!

I had quit playing games by the developer Elephant because they were either too easy or too much like all their other games. This one is different and a winner! Elephant put a lot into the game, especially with the mini-games, which were mostly excellent. Some were quite a challenge, which is exactly what I look for. I'll be looking for more games by Elephant in the near future.
I recommend this game!

It was all over a couple of hours after I started and I didn't skip anything or use hints. Graphics are good. Voiceovers okay. Puzzles were so-so. Can't recommend it because it's so short.
I don't recommend this game.

This should have easily been a 5-star game, just because of the graphics, puzzles, and challenge. I was really into it because I LOVE difficult games with difficult puzzles. But I'm guessing newer/intermediate players will be totally frustrated with the instructions for the puzzles. It took me longer to figure out what to do that it did to solve the puzzle.
Now, the bonus chapter: I have a feeling the developers were under a strict deadline to get this game finished. There were so many glitches! I couldn't place the animal figures on the frame (even though I tried & tried). They wouldn't stick! And don't get me started on hitting the gongs; #3 gives you the WRONG instructions, so I ended up skipping both of these puzzles, and I pride myself on never skipping any puzzles.
The map? Atrocious! It would take you places where there was nothing to do!
Big Fish had better be having these glitches fixed or there will be tons of people asking for refunds.
I don't recommend this game.

A really different, bizarre kind of game. And I love it! This is the second time this week that I've stopped playing a game so I could write a review before I finished the game.
If you want something weird, strange, maybe even a little disturbing, this is the game for you. I'm giving it 5 stars just because the developers didn't give us the same ol', same ol'. They really stuck their necks out on this one.
More like this, please. Bring on the weirdness!
I recommend this game!

This is a great Halloween game. Graphics are outstanding, voiceovers are excellent, and the challenge is just right. Wish I'd bought the CE. Not finished yet but had to stop to write this review. Very impressed with the entire game.
I really don't understand the 3-star review, and there's no explanation for why that was given.
Play this just for the beautiful graphics. But the game itself is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it. Way to go, Domini!
I recommend this game!

Rarely do I give 5 stars, especially to a game that locks up on me more than once. But the challenge and the different type of game this is earns the 5 stars. I don't think a beginner would like it much, as the puzzle instructions aren't always clear. But I've played enough of these games that I usually know what I need to do before I even read the instructions. It makes me use my brain, which heaven knows I need to exercise more.
I actually liked that there isn't a map. I try not to use them much anyway because sometimes I feel like it's cheating, to some extent.
If you're an immediate player who's familiar with these games I think you'd do okay. Experts who don't need maps will love it.
I recommend this game!
