UPDATE: For those of you who are going to this review site it is
November 10, 2018. If you are upset that BigFish is not giving us anymore new HOAG and re-releasing the old ones, try and contact me somehow. You can reach me at lynxminx @icloud.com. If anyone can get ahold of KimTwilight, it would help. BigFish will only release games with coins and energy and I won’t play those money draining games! We need a game plan, because there is a new CEO at BigFish and he is responsible for eradicating this entire genre. I hope someone sees this before BigFish or the App Store deletes my review. Reviewers pass along the info along with the way to reach me any way you can.
I have a couple of ideas. But I need help, someone who is tech savvy! Thanks everyone!
DRACYY! I had to PAY 5 COINS FOR A MOUSE! A warning would have been appreciated, lol!
Anyway, this was a terrific game. You could customize settings. The graphics were totally magnificent. The game was decently long and had a long bonus chapter. This was my favorite type of game: a fairy tale, twisted as it might be! It was a cross between Rumpelstiltskin and Sleeping Beauty gone wrong. Loading was not quite instantaneous between locations but the lag time was short. At each location you collect roses and morphing objects. There was no actual journal but objectives were regularly updated. Inventory was labeled and interactive and there were complex items to assemble. There was a marked, if so customized teleport map to transport you. The HO scenes had some variation. Luckily there wasn't an overabundance of them, because you didn't have an alternative. There were many puzzles and games. Some were fun and others were boring rotational stuff that I believe we are all tired of doing. Even so, this game was so gorgeous and fun to play that I didn't care about the puzzles so much.
The gimmick in this game was a wish box which helps you in exchange for drops of blood. It sounds morbid but really is not. It was fun because you learn more of the story and receive help in the game.
I deducted a star for the following reasons: lack of a cohesive journal, small lag loading and also for the map to update itself, and too many rotational puzzles. However, all in all it was still an amazing game and I will play it again! It was magical, interesting and exquisite all at the same time. Lynxie sends 💋❤️😘 to Dracyy, KimTwilight, and the rest of the tireless and diligent DTE! Remember, our work is never done and the better our reviews, the better this genre gets! So thanks to all of you for your hard work!
