Two step-brothers with history try to overcome the mistakes of their fathers and come together to build a very cool artist colony. Not just painters, but also dancers, singers, sculptors and photographers.
This was a refreshing older time-management game that involved building up skills and renovating an artist colony. You also create masterpieces to sell to art buyers. This game can be slow at times, but it's fun to watch the fruits of your labor. Unfortunately, I was unable to completely finish it because my artists were always getting their hearts broken and leaving. I still very much enjoyed it, though.
I recommend this game!

Flower Quest
Rotate the branches and roots of flowers to connect different plants together in this fun puzzle game.
I don't think this game gets the love it deserves...I really enjoyed it!
This is an old-school line matching game that I've had on my computer for a decade and finally decided to play. You match flowery branches together to knock off blocks like any other match-3 game. You can play timed, timeless or challenging. I was able to play timeless to the end with no issues. The only annoyance will be these angry flowers that pop up and fill your board with blocks, but you can get rid of them through matches or magic wands. I had an excess of wands by the end of the game which made them much easier to deal with.

Blue Tear
Lift the curse off the abandoned estate and help rescue your friends!
I agree with the reviewer that said this game doesn't get the credit it deserves because I really enjoyed it!
Through an odd twist of fate, you're the heir to a haunted house from a relative you've never heard of. They tell you not to bring anymore, but, OF COURSE, you didn't listen. Now you have to save your friends!
This game was really lengthy so you get more bang for your buck. You have to first go back in time and retrieve some items and then go through an ENORMOUS haunted house to save your friends. The puzzles were fun and the hidden object scenes were fairly simple. There was a transportable map and hints and skips whenever you needed them.
Sometimes the hints weren't always helpful, but the journal contains plenty of clues to help you out. I had a few technical issues because it's an old game and I have a newer computer, but I was eventually able to make it through to the end.
I recommend this game!

Danse Macabre: The Last Adagio
Your sister disappears the night of her star debut – and there are ghosts in the theater! Will this dance ever end?
You go to visit your ballerina sister after a performance to find her caught up in the drama between ghosts of the past!
This game was beautiful and there was plenty to do. The hidden object scenes were a bit ho-hum but the puzzles were fun and challenging. Skips and hints and a teleporting map were also available.

Annabel
Annabel stumbles upon an ancient Egyptian curse that claims an innocent victim every ten years, and she may be next…
This is an old-school adventure game where an ancient Egyptian princess must break out of captivity and save her prince from an evil priest.
I agree with the other people in the reviews that the voice acting for Annabel was absolutely terrible. Otherwise, I enjoyed the game. There were hints available for every object you needed to find along the way. My only issue is that there were no skips on the puzzles and there was no help online to be found because most of the puzzles were random. Still, I was able to figure them out on my own and finish the game.

New York Mysteries: Secrets of the Mafia
Discover a story of mysterious kidnappings of both children and mafiosi.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good this game was!
Members of the NY mafia and a group of children are missing and it's up to you to find them both. I really enjoyed the puzzles and especially the hidden object scenes, which were entirely interactive. The game was nice and long as you kept taking one subway route after another. I'm already looking forward to playing the next one!

Hero of the Kingdom
Your home has been raided. Your father is missing. Set off on a dangerous journey to save him, and become the Hero of the Kingdom!
For an older adventure game, this was a lot of fun!
You're a young man whose farm is burned down and father is kidnapped so you go on a long adventure to find him and help save the kingdom. As you move along, the map opens up and you help people along the way.
My favorite part was collecting the eggs and mushrooms and crayfish. Can't wait to play the next one!
In this story, Anna finds a long lost relative and looks to the past to clear his crimes.
It was a little shorter than I wanted it to be, but otherwise it was a great story. The hidden object and puzzle scenes were nice and simple. You can never go wrong with Grim Tales!
I recommend this game!

The scenes from Verona were absolutely breathtaking, the puzzles and hidden objects scenes were fun and in the end you gave a famous story a happy ending.

Evoly
Make matches as quickly as you can and then use the money you've earned to bring a barren world back to life in Evoly!
This was yet another game I felt was ruined by a timer.
The match-3 was fun, but as it got harder and they added chains I was eventually unable to beat the clock. I did enjoy the cute little animals that you were able to decorate your land with.
