  • Worth every penny

    I love the Nancy Drew series so when I found this game I fell in love. The graphics and story line are fantastic! Not to mention I have the hottest girlfriend/fiancée ever! I never get tired of playing it over and over again. I never buy apps but when I played this for free I just had to finish the game. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a good game that challenges you in every way!
  • Awesome finally a game worth $$ a must buy!

    At first the game was cumbersome but then you get into it. The graphics are great and the story line flows. I will admit there were two puzzles that I could not get and I just skipped. I did like the hint button but it did allow me to be lazy at times especially in the bonus area. That was fantastic. Is was as good as the game. This is what I'm used to BFG putting out. I bought it on sale thru the App Store so it was well worth the $ to me. I won't pay $7 for a game, they aren't worth it and I just can't afford it. I have to wait for the sales. Keep these coming. Thanks BFG.
  • Awesome!

    This game has some amazing graphics and an interesting story line. A few times I thought I was watching a movie. At first I didn't want to spend 7 bucks for the whole game but I am glad I did! It was well worth the money and I liked having the bonus chapter at the end that kind of explained the beginning! Great game!
  • sins of the Father

    I really enjoyed playing this game, it was just the right level of challenging without becoming frustrating. Story is good, graphics are nice. One problem, there was an update while I was playing which I installed but the game crashed and kept crashing. I deleted and reinstalled and it worked OK, I just had to start over from the beginning.
  • Excellent, Start to Finish

    This is the most fun, sophisticated Hidden Object game I've played to date. Gorgeous artwork (love the steampunk flair), a legitimate storyline with good dialogue and better-than-decent voice acting, cut-scenes that come alive--I'd categorise this game as more Adventure than Hidden Object! A tale with heart, real mystery, magic, creepiness, and even a bit of character development--the latter not being a common trait in Hidden Object. Nice and long, too!

    Oh yes, the game didn't crash once, here.

    Many thanks to the developers and distributors!
  • Love the storyline

    The story is very intriguing and hooks you almost immediately, which I love. But there's a dialogue bar that's very annoying at the top that is not only distracting (which makes it hard to lose yourself in), but in a really bad place because it gets in the way with some of the basic interactions.. Which again is a bit.. Tedious. Love the story and the graphics, but wish they'd redesign the dialogue bar at the top to not be so intrusive.
  • Good Game

    Another solid offering from Big Fish. I played this on my iPad mini, a choice that doesn't always work for hidden object games. In fact, thanks to the zoom, I had no problem at all. The story was okay, the puzzles were good, and the length was great. I absolutely felt like my money was well spent.
  • Having problems

    Can someone please tell me how to unlock the full version. I have tried many times to unlock full version within game and keeps giving error to contact istore to complete transaction. I have even deleted and re-installed the game. Its kinda annoying, please help. I have enough credit in my account, but purchase doesn't wanna go through. Playing the trial version only takes you to a certain point and I have played it over and over. Really want the full version. Please please help.
  • Long, complicated, I loved it!

    Great game with some complicated puzzles, just enough help, and a good story line. It was quite long, so not something you can finish in an hour or two. I bought the CE and got the bonus chapter. It was nearly as long as the basic game! And just as involved and interesting. Recommended!
  • First rate design and value

    My usual gripe with these games is the lack of imagination and clear reuse of assets for our assets. Well, frequent gamers may spot a few repurposed items here, but that's a minor quibble in this first-rate HO adventure.

    There are a mind boggling volume of different environments and no skimping on puzzles, HO sidebars and cools effects in this adventure! Character animation takes a back seat to story and layers of detail; always my preference. And to top it off, the game actually runs long enough the justify the price point. The bonus game runs longer than full games!

    Keep an eye on this developer.
