  • Brilliant game! A must buy!

    I just finished playing this game and it was simply amazing. I could not put it down.

    The storyline is really intriguing and I was completely immersed. Gameplay was very smooth with no bugs or problems. The graphics were gorgeous and the game is nice and long. It took me 5 hours for main game and 2 for bonus chapter.

    I play so many games like this that at times I find myself getting bored. This one kept me interested and immersed until the end.

    There are tons of bonus features in this game; including a helpful strategy guide, lots of art, movie clips, music, and more. This time you play a male character which is really refreshing in this type of game.

    The main character (Ethan) is one of the most handsome guys I have seen in these types of games! (blush). He was so fun to look at! I think the ladies will be really pleased :-) The other characters are very good looking as well.

    I highly recommend purchasing this game because it is a high quality game and so worth the price!
  • Hits the spot

    Finally!!! Just what I was looking for in a Big Fish puzzle game. Not too easy, not too difficult. Puzzles are solved logically and require some brain power. Just the right mix of puzzles: HOs, mini-puzzles and gathering useful items. Nice graphics. Thank you, BF! Finally, after a too-long dry spell, a game worth the money.
  • Flawless Hidden Object Adventure

    This game is a rare find. It is eerie without being so dark that I cannot. Tell what I'm looking at without turning the brightness up on my IPad all the way. It is seamless in the storytelling without any crashing or glitches, in spite of my frantic tapping when I am searching for the next, best move.
    And speaking of storytelling, this game had it all! It was the perfect mix of HO, storyline (with beautiful graphics) puzzles, a hint button that really helps, but not so much that it feels like a cheating walk-through!
    It was also very LONG! I played over a 4 day weekend, while sick and it kept me quite occupied and engaged. The time flew by. It was well worth the money I spent.
  • Dark Strokes( Sins Of Fathers)

    Sins of fathers was ok just not good enough. The story was great but I am looking for more true to life situations. I'm tired of the same old hidden objects games. I want more inter active mini games, and how hard is it to make a game where the characters actually speak out loud and not in sub titles. I know this is feasible because I played another hidden object game where they did speak and there was no reading. I don't think this is a lot to ask when they are getting 5,6 and 7 dollars a game from us!!
  • Makes you purchase

    The game itself is awesome!!! Graphics are the best that I've seen thus far...BUT the fact that you have to purchase the Collector Editions just to continue on, is crazy. I've read some of the other reviews, and it seems like folks are getting ripped off with no refunds or not being able to continue on the games. I was going to purchase just for the heck of it....but no way Hozay!
  • Excellent...Except the Price

    I haven't been playing many Big Fish games lately because of the cost. I had been waiting to try and catch this one on sale because the reviews were good, but I didn't want to spend $7. I finally broke down (where are the sales, Big Fish?!) because I needed an Adventure/HO fix, and I'm glad I spent my cash on this one. Long game, good story, excellent graphics and atmosphere. Challenging but not confusing, lots of HO scenes but a good mix of puzzles/adventure, too. But I can't give a game 5 stars that I feel is too expensive.
  • LOVE THIS GAME!

    When you combine a Big Fish game and Alawar - you have a home run! I am almost through playing this game but wanted to take a moment to post this while I am "in the moment". I love any game by Alawar (they also make the Snarkbuster series). If I see that name attached to ANY game, I'm buying it!

    This game really kept me on my toes, made me think, had clever games and not a lot of dialog which I love.

    Well worth the price and even more! Thank you Big Fish and Alawar!
  • Great game!

    I really love this game and I'm so glad I purchased it. The only problem I'm having is with the screen shot on my iPad flipping upside down after adding a figurine to the box and seeing the animation. The screen orients itself upside down causing me to flip my iPad. I thought it might be my iPad, so I restarted it and this kept occurring. I've since figured out it is this game in particular as none of the other games cause this. Since it is infrequent to put the figurines in the box, I feel I can live with the screen flipping as it does affect the game on the whole.
  • One of the best BF (Alawar) games!

    I haven't written a review since they "improved" the App Store (sarcastic, I think it's terrible) but this game is really good. I have played about a dozen or so BF games. Took a break for a while after a buggy game where BF wouldn't issue refund. On principal, I wanted to continue my personal boycott but I missed the games and couldn't find anything comparable. This game is really good. A lot of interactive play, good graphics, and good flow. Real effort was put into making this game. I wish there was some way to tell who the real developers are when buying from BF. I am pretty sure there was another Alawar game that was really good. Plus, it would be nice to know to avoid the lousy games. There was one really bad one recently, I think Phantom of the Opera or something that was so lousy I ended. Anyway, this game is really good so I thought I'd take a minute to share.
  • WoW !!!!

    WoW !!!! Bigfish Games released the theatre of the mind with this game, and I just had a front row seat !!!!!!!!!
    Thanks for an awesome game. I've wanted to play this game for a while now and finally did get an iPad with a front view camera, which was a requirement. Not sure why ?? Would be cool if they incorporated a camera into a game. Should be a big seller if they did. Lol.

    One word BigFish,,,,,,,,
    (((( W O W )))) !!!!
