I know we have all seen these puzzles before, but so what? They are engaging, and the Bonus Game was pretty good. I took off a star because one of the games (it involves switching things around to their proper position) didn’t seem to have a correct answer. The only other issue is that the Strategy Guide is no longer supported. But all in all, it’s a heck of a lot better than “FTP” or episodic games! ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-09-13, version 1.0.0* Graphics are awesome. Lots to do and loads of locations. A few different sorts of collectibles. Map is really helpful and shows any collectibles you’ve missed. I love this series because the character swap is great fun. Some of the puzzles are quite hard but others are easy. ### 5/5 — Captivating game! *2019-08-21, version 1.0.0* Great graphics and sound.....love the magical angle. Love the fast responses,too. Well done! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2019-07-20, version 1.0.0* Super long, interesting storyline, amazing graphics with a variety of puzzles. I highly recommend this game. Awesome bonus game as well. Thanks Big Fish!! ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-06-30, version 1.0.0* Thoroughly enjoying playing this game. Lovely graphics, great puzzles some hard some easier, good story line. ### 5/5 — Very good *2019-06-25, version 1.0.0* I would’ve payed for the game but it’s too expensive ### 5/5 — Loved it!! *2019-04-24, version 1.0.0* I loved every minute of playing this game. I really liked playing this game, it was too short. ### 5/5 — Great *2019-04-16, version 1.0.0* Loving the game. Best I have played in some time. ### 5/5 — So far . . . *2019-02-24, version 1.0.0* So good ### 5/5 — Great Game *2019-02-02, version 1.0.0* Loved this game,it was great to switch characters and it's nice to choose weather you want to do the hop or match 3 ### 5/5 — Very good. *2019-01-27, version 1.0.0* Very well done. ### 5/5 — Great game I really enjoyed it. *2019-01-27, version 1.0.0* Great game really enjoyed playing this ### 5/5 — Nordic queen *2019-01-20, version 1.0.0* This game is fascinating not a boring moment Loved and recommend it.just a little to short Story line is terrific love.......love.......Love ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to get my games I previously bought *2024-06-07, version 1.0.0* Unacceptable ### 1/5 — Unskippable nonHO Puzzle *2022-04-26, version 1.0.0* I originally gave this game 3 stars due to non HO puzzles outnumbering HO puzzles 3 to 1 easily but now I’ve changed it to 1 due to encountering a nonHO puzzle that couldn’t be skipped. I don’t buy these games for misc puzzles, I buy them for hidden object puzzles so forcing me to complete a misc puzzle whether I want to or not is just gross. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-03-06, version 1.0.0* Really great game but you barely play at all until it tells you to purchase the full version 🤨🙄 ### 1/5 — I paid and now they want more money! *2018-10-28, version 1.0.0* I am so very disappointed! I paid for this game thinking that like many of the “paid for” games on Big Fish that would be it, it’s my game and I don’t need to buy anything else. Not so with this game. I paid for it and now, just moments into the game it’s asking for more money. Now I’m not sure if I will purchase any more of Big Fish games. Why should I pay $2.99 or $3.99 (when they are on sale) or $6.99 for a game that is going to be asking for even more money? ### 1/5 — Ugh *2018-10-11, version 1.0.0* Far too easy. Great if you are 5. I’m pretty much bored to tears and it is nowhere near worth the price. Would be okay at $1. Delete. ### 1/5 — So bored . *2018-09-21, version 1.0.0* That was the most boring game I ever played . ### 2/5 — Horrible *2019-11-05, version 1.0.0* Thistle game ### 2/5 — Dark romance - winter lily *2019-10-15, version 1.0.0* Gave up on this game. The inventory kept disappearing - you could either have the inventory or the area of investigation not both at the same time. ### 3/5 — Bad instructions *2023-08-21, version 1.0.0* I had to use the hint quite a few times. When you write instructions, they are being written by someone who already knows the answer. They are not at all understandable for someone who does not know. Very confusing and not helpful! ### 3/5 — Mickeyboy *2019-02-12, version 1.0.0* Game is really good. It’s a shame Big Fish doesn’t care about us IOS players. No more new games. Only if you have a PC. Big Fish Big Rip off. Can’t even download my old games that I bought. They blaming Apple. Pfft. Buyers Beware ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good! *2024-05-12, version 1.0.0* I found this game good in length and challenges. Normally these games go to fast. This one was worth the money. ### 5/5 — Plaisir assuré *2023-03-20, version 1.0.0* Très belle histoire et le jeu est vraiment très bien conçu ……merci pour ces moments de plaisir à jouer à ce jeu . ### 5/5 — Winter *2023-01-08, version 1.0.0* Excellent game from start to end. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2022-02-06, version 1.0.0* Really enjoying this game, like the way you can swap characters to complete your tasks. Lots of difficult challenges which I enjoy. Very good graphics. Definitely recommend this game. ### 5/5 — Best Hidden Objects Game Ever *2021-07-27, version 1.0.0* Domini beats Big Fish and eats them for lunch. I would pay $6.99 all day long for this much fun. Excellent game just challenging enough to keep you intrigued and interested. This game is like a great book read, it’s hard to put down and you can’t wait to pick it up again and keep on playin’. ### 5/5 — Big fish *2020-09-30, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-07-09, version 1.0.0* Excellent ### 5/5 — Delightful!! *2020-02-26, version 1.0.0* Domini does it again! Top notch game all around. This game is a feast for the eyes, as well as one’s gaming soul❤️. They are known for their creative mini games; this offering does not disappoint, and you have the option of casual or hard on most of them. The hos are list/interactive, silhouette, find the difference, and find the pairs. The story is really good as well, loved the bonus where we see how the villain came to be bad. Lots of unique touches here and there, to make you feel like you’re really in the game. The Dark Romance series has the unique mechanic of playing as two different characters, and Domini does that well. Length was good too. I did not like the delay after you put together an object in your inventory, but that is my only gripe with this game. Real rating of 4.5 bumped up to 5 because it’s just so darn good! ### 5/5 — Great *2019-12-01, version 1.0.0* These are great games for an 80 yr old to play ### 5/5 — Excellent *2019-11-21, version 1.0.0* Very excellent game, I highly recommend this one. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
