I really enjoyed it, and liked that it kept going for quite a few days of play. The graphics were great and fun. A lot of detail also made it more fun for me. I did have a few puzzles lock up on me. The map was always trying to send me to the cemetery even when there was absolutely nothing more to do there. That was a little frustrating . The directions for the puzzles were pretty clear; but I found a lot of spelling and grammatical errors, as if written by a person who speaks English as not their main language. One puzzle on the wall toward the end did not even have directions, and locked up. I will go through my second run and jot down recommended corrections. I’m also going to try to find more morphs! So, four stars, but five stars when the bugs are fixed. ### 4/5 — Good game *2022-12-06, version 1.0.0* Like this game a lot but the animation is painfully slow ! ### 4/5 — Nice Game *2021-11-25, version 1.0.0* Good little game. Some areas a bit dark. Collectibles not super clear but I liked the fact that there wasn’t too much cheesy narration. ### 4/5 — European Mystery, flowers,of death *2021-08-29, version 1.0.0* Why did so man of us who enjoyed these mysteries quit purchasing them? Easy, either the main game had severe problems and nobody,bothered,to fix them or as in this case the extra one did. I did not get the syringe because the game doesn’t work properly. The main game was fantastic too bad the extra chapter was not. ### 4/5 — Very enjoyable *2021-08-14, version 1.0.0* I really enjoyed the game, I was a tad distracted by Dustin Hoffman’s doppelgänger lol ### 4/5 — Good game *2021-08-07, version 1.0.0* It’s a little bit slow and sometimes not real clear about what you’re supposed to do, but the graphics are good and colorful and has a good mix of hidden objects and puzzles. Glad I got it ### 4/5 — Great puzzles but poor spelling *2020-09-07, version 1.0.0* Beautiful illustrations and inventive puzzles and activities but I wonder about the quality control. Where is it? Words like “beleave”, “stert”, “recepy”, “recipie”, etc. are signs that you don’t proofread your work. I believe the recipe for success is that you start with quality so you can finish with excellence. ### 5/5 — Flowers of Death *2020-08-31, version 1.0.0* I really enjoyed the game. The story kept me coming back and the mini-games were different from others I’ve played. The only difficulty I had wasfinding the shoes and some of the morphs. Thanks for your creativity! ### 5/5 — Inventive puzzles *2020-08-19, version 1.0.0* I really liked this game! Each puzzles was unique and kept me on my toes. I was worried that I had missed the chance to find all the extra items but the were available in the bonus chapter. ### 3/5 — Ok on a deal *2020-08-18, version 1.0.0* Clunky graphics and dull story. Ok puzzles. ### 4/5 — Love These Games! *2020-08-16, version 1.0.0* Any Big Fish game I’ve played so far has been high-quality and lots of fun. And if you purchase any of these games during a sale, when the price drops to $2.99, it’s a steal. Check out this title and pretty much any other hidden-object title from Big Fish! ### 5/5 — Beautiful Game *2020-08-14, version 1.0.0* This little game isn’t the most demanding and a lot of the puzzles and games are quite similar, (or is it that there is a finite number available in HOP games in general and I’ve played loads of them? Whatever, I still enjoyed them. But it is the images which are the best part; the artwork is delightful, and the moving clouds for example are very realistic. In fact I can’t help but stop and watch them move across the sky and I love the effect of the antidote emptying the rooms of plant spores/pollen. I bought it as one at a reduced price and might not have done so if it had been full price. But if I’d known about the quality of the artwork beforehand then you know what? I’d have bought it anyway. ### 4/5 — Good for the price *2020-08-12, version 1.0.0* Does need some fine tuning but totally playable. ### 5/5 — New Things *2020-08-10, version 1.0.0* Love the game ### 3/5 — Weird *2020-08-10, version 1.0.0* Thankfully I only paid £2.99 for this game as it really isn’t worth more. Haven’t completed it yet, it may take time because it is boring. Some of the mini games have no clues as to what to do. When I followed the weighing of the insignias the picture showed three, I only got to put one on the scale and that was it. So the point of that part was what! Have played far better games over the years. ### 5/5 — European mysteries, flowers of destruction *2020-08-10, version 1.0.0* Loving this game, don’t want it to finish. ### 5/5 — Holy long game Batman! And good too! *2020-08-10, version 1.0.0* This game is like a five day game - perfect for COVID -19. And sale price of $2.99? Can’t beat it. And no crazy demonic stuff? That’s a win for me. I can never follow the plots to these games - looks interesting though. Crazy flowers everywhere destroying stuff. People after you. You’re the detective assigned to the case. Yea, some mini games are tough but there’s a guide. There’s a map too. Making these antidotes to the flowers is interesting. Super! Note at the beginning the art and the operation of things is not as good. about fifteen minutes into the game it’s fine so give it a chance! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Jerky and not smooth *2020-08-07, version 1.0.0* The scenes are jerky and move. The people are jerky and they sputter. Almost like skipping beats. Would like to have bought, but the constant moving was bad. Nothing like playing a game and the people look drunk moving back and forth. ### 1/5 — Too many glitches *2017-08-17, version 1.0.0* Tried the preview - won't buy the game too many glitches. ### 1/5 — Glitch Glitch Glitch *2016-11-25, version 1.0.0* Played 5 minutes and then the needle wouldn't work on the lock after multiple attempts. Deleted. ### 2/5 — Le jeu est bien mais …. *2022-03-10, version 1.0.0* La musique est redondante et je ne parviens pas à entendre les effets sonores correctement puisque la musique est trop forte. Je ne suis pas arrivée à entrer dans l’histoire,trop d’écriture trop de mélange de potions. Ce n’est certainement pas un jeu que je vais débloquer. J'en ai vu passer de bien mieux. ### 2/5 — MEH *2021-08-14, version 1.0.0* I’ve bought and played DOZENS of these games over the last 10 years. This one was mediocre at best. The storyline is terrible and makes NO sense whatsoever. There is no way to figure out where you are supposed to be going and what you’re supposed to look for, so you have to use hints to send you to the next place. Several of the mini games freeze or are otherwise unfinishable, so you have to skip them. The collectibles are not in every scene and you waste time looking for them. Don’t waste your money. ### 2/5 — Don't Pay Full Price *2020-08-23, version 1.0.0* Probably one of my least favorite games ever. Too much jumping around, even with the map. Didn't know there were morphs or hidden shoes until the game told me three quarters through. Guide is incomplete. On the positive side, it is long. Too long if you find it as frustrating as I did! ### 2/5 — Why such jumpy graphics?! *2020-08-08, version 1.0.0* This was like playing on dial-up speed. ### 2/5 — European Mysteries- Flowers of Distruction *2020-08-08, version 1.0.0* I’m enjoying this game until I came to a HOP where the last item seems to be under the ‘hint’ and therefore when I tap where it indicates it *indicates* “behind me”. HELP ### 2/5 — I’ve never been more excited a game was over *2019-07-16, version 1.0.0* It was all over the place. And the collectibles? I got so irritated I just gave up. I’m still not so sure what the hell was going on in the story. Overall, it was just a mess! ### 2/5 — Buggy *2016-12-30, version 1.0.0* There appears to be a number of glitches in the game, which is really annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-04-21, version 1.0.0* Fun and easy to follow ### 5/5 — Great game. Excellent length *2021-08-20, version 1.0.0* Was a great game with challenging puzzles. Had no issue with anything freezing. Did use the map as actions were all over the place and was tired of the navigating. Definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — WOW! *2021-08-15, version 1.0.0* Quel jeu intéressant, vraiment long pour le prix, un des meilleurs de la collection! Merci! ### 5/5 — Not perfect but so much fun! *2021-08-13, version 1.0.0* I had a few concerns, notably that the animation seemed a bit choppy and the story was hard to follow. The misspellings were hilarious! I gave it five stars, though, because it was fun. ### 5/5 — Darling game. Worth every penny. *2021-08-10, version 1.0.0* I’ve enjoyed this game more than I have any others in a while. It was fun and playable, with only like 1 noticeable glitch. The puzzles were fun, and the story was amusing pseudo-alchemy. The map works great, the visuals were lovely. I can’t complain. I wish more games could be this good. I never give 5 stars, but this time I will. ### 5/5 — Flowers *2021-08-09, version 1.0.0* Fantastic ### 5/5 — Flowers of destruction *2021-05-22, version 1.0.0* Enjoyed every minite of play ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2020-12-31, version 1.0.0* Refreshing change from all the ghouls and goblins. Giving it a 5 even though there is no “seeing eye”. Good, casual play with some quite different tasks from the usual. ### 5/5 — Beautiful game.... Very entertaining to play *2020-09-11, version 1.0.0* I constantly play this genre of game. This one has become a favorite. Interesting story, good navigation, enjoyable play. I recommend it. ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2020-09-02, version 1.0.0* It was good and entertaining, the only issue I had was someone needed to proof read the narrative because there were a lot of mistakes with grammar and spelling. Also this was in Europe so they should have had a accent for the area not American lingo. The graphics were great and the storyline interesting however, the end should have had an epilogue. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
