While I've played hundreds of these HO/adventure style games, I don't bother to review that many. This one I must as I consider it superb. Aside that it has a very, very good storyline that not only draws you in, it has a particularly good message, it's game play is usual be clever. Even the HOGs, which I'm not a great fan of, were fun and very and different than I have ever played. I didn't mind them one bit. Graphs, outstanding; music outstanding, dialogue outstanding, puzzle play outstanding. About the only thing I can say negative is that it is shorter than I would have liked but it does have a bonus game so I can accept that. Every now and then the music cut out and the dialogue disappeared but you could read the dialogue so it didn't disrupt the play. I would rate this in the top 5 of any game I've previously played. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this game.
Loved the storyline, graphics were gorgeous! hidden object scenes & puzzles were fun and unique. Teleporting map provided along with morphing objects to find. This kind of story along with the character voices really captures you, to the point that it is hard to stop playing. Another Outstanding game by Mad Head Games. Truly a work of art and flowed very nicely. Cannot wait till their next release. A must buy & a real gem of a game!!!!
Thank you for such Great Entertainment.

I was going to let you all in on the secret to the flashlight on the phone but I see I was beat to that little tid-bit 👍🏼
I'm really enjoying this game. Thank you developers 😁
Really enjoyed the game. Some of the toughest puzzles I've played.
This game is simply amazing! The interactiveness with which Mad Head Games runs, is just a joy to play!!
Update fixed phone problem
Lots of fun. But I'm afraid Omni was a very poor monk if he had to turn to western psychology's stages of grief to deal with his distress. The flashlight problem has been fixed with this update,but there are still some problems. Every time I start a new game I have to re-instate my purchase - not good. I did the treasure hunt in extras but didn't get the achievement, and I'm pretty sure I found all the storm clouds even in the bonus game,but didn't get the achievement for that either. The soundscape is good but drops out alot.
It's a good game,it deserves better polish than this.
Finally... an HO (but not too many of them) game that I'm actually enjoying 5 stars' worth. The story is comprehensible and the graphics are acceptable. The non-HO and mini- puzzles are just right. Not too easy, but not maddeningly difficult. The map works well, although, ironically, I haven't been using it much. I'm playing on an iPad and I haven't had to increase the brightness in order to see stuff. I may come back and revise my rating if the game is too short. They've been making the games shorter so that we buy more of them; have you noticed?
The plot fuses together the ingredients of hustle-and-bustle adventure with those of science and the supernatural. The graphics appear slightly faded and blotchy and not as crisp and clear as I would expect. The color scheme is dominated by a steadfast monochromatic background consisting of varying shades of blue in order to exude a dismal, overcast climate. The stormy, turbulent weather pattern further enhances essences of anticipation and doom as you explore your surroundings. You can customize your settings; there are various options to satisfy your specific preferences. Inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. The teleport map allows for brisk transport to labeled locations and indicates available objectives. As you manually travel between labeled scenes, transition is smooth and seamless. The "back" button helps avoid an unwanted return to the prior scene. The HOS consist of assorted fashions, and they are very interactive; some are scientifically oriented, such as the one where you are fixing the storm catcher device. I appreciate the ease of the "click and tap" method to place objects in lieu of dragging them. The puzzles are crafty and visionary in presentation; many are scientifically based, such as the one where you use the professor's laptop to correct corrupt data. Only Madhead, who are steps ahead of their peers in trend-setting concepts, could envisage such wondrous ideas. I admire the additional interactive elements incorporated throughout, such as the manipulation of close-up areas by sliding them around to view the opposite side. I also enjoy the use of the cell phone features, such as the flashlight, to create a more immersive and engaging experience. There are collectibles, which can blend into the background very well. Unfortunately, this game is not without imperfections. Firstly, when the game is standing idle for several moments, the audio tunes out; even though it does come back upon resuming, I find it to be a bit vexing. Furthermore, most of the main components are accessed from under the Menu; and this causes slight disruptions to the fluidity of concentration and gameplay. Lastly, no journal is presented to chronicle the story. For these reasons, I've deducted a star. This is an enticing game comprised of the coveted traits we all yearn for, together with an abundance of creativity. I highly suggest this one!
Warning to Dracyy: you always have my back with rodents, and I have your back as well. Do NOT attempt this game with a migraine! There are tons of lightning strikes, movements and electricity going on. It's making me a bit queasy and I don't have a headache!
Note to Kansasgal: I thought so too but eventually it let's you move forward! You have to have patience and just tap around a bit! I promise you that you can do it!
My review mirrors that of KimTwilight's thoughts. The storyline was interesting, the graphics were magnificent and the cut-scenes electrifying, literally. I won't go through all the features, since it would be redundant to do so. Of course I will mention the fact that there were no rats! Did you think I would leave that out? I am actually rating this game at 3.5 stars. I deducted stars for the journal and map being placed in the menu tab, for the clunky transition of the game and slow dialogue. The lightning and movements in some of the scenes made me feel extremely dizzy, and I am not currently suffering from vertigo, so it had to be the game. However I still liked this game as a whole, because it is extremely interactive and the gameplay from Mad Head is very different than most of the other developers. Lynxie sends ❤️💋😘 and Yuletide cheer to the entire DTE and the other gamers who have placed their trust in us to keep bettering this genre! As always I am so grateful to Izzyoc, KimTwilight and Dracyy for sharing the information they acquire with all of us. It is people like them who make the gaming world better for all of us!
IF U HAVE AN ISSUE W THE CELL PHONE PLEASE READ
Hey guys. Have seen a lot of people stuck in the professors house with the cell phone light. There isn't a bug, you just have to do some fancy tapping. Here's what I did that got me through it. When the phone is on the screen, you'll need to double tap the phone, then on the last tap sort of drag your finger towards the utility box. You do this till you reach the box, then you'll switch a few switches and the light turns on.
As far as the game itself, it's a KEEPER! I say BUY the game! Especially on sale!
I think it's a wonderful game. Better than the last one BF put out for us. There's a transporting map, a journal which DARCY I'm sure is happy about, collectibles, and the graphics are outstanding. Don't forget to collect little coins and clouds with A lighting bolt attached to it. Morphing objects in the HOP and you can customize your settings. Beautiful game without any huge problems. I hope my little trick helps y'all get past the cell phone scene and you can enjoy the rest of the game. I don't see any RATS yet but I just started the game... If I see any I'll let you know Lynx. Happy Gaming friends❣️
