### 5/5 — Great Lengthy Game

*2025-01-12*

Quite long game with a good bonus chapter.

### 5/5 — Keeps you busy

*2022-01-16, version 1.0.0*

It took me 3-4 days to finish. Worked before bed until tired, then closed and saved until the next night .  Very enjoyable

### 5/5 — Really fun game. Good puzzles

*2019-10-07, version 1.0.0*

If you get tired of hidden objects you can play jig saw puzzles !

### 1/5 — Keeps losing my progress

*2018-07-27, version 1.0.0*

This is ridiculous. Just like other people, after playing for quite a while, all of my progress has been lost and I am being asked to start again.  It seems that people have been complaining about this for 2 years, and it's still isn't fixed. You should give people their money back and stop selling it as it is not playable.

### 5/5 — Difficult but very good 5 stars

*2017-02-26, version 1.0.0*

Too me a while to get through this game.
It was very good, although good.
I give it 5 stars.

### 4/5 — 😁 Effortless Entertainment from ELEFUN

*2017-01-31, version 1.0.0*

👍 25 HOPs (some, especially at the outset are MEGA combo-like wonders) with jigsaw puzzle option.
👍 some unusual, challenging mini-games.
👍 indicator on Map re Collectibles/Morphs acquisition.
👎 load/lag time between scenes.
👎 NO Extra gameplay.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2017-01-22, version 1.0.0*

Great game.

### 5/5 — AWESOME!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

*2017-01-07, version 1.0.0*

Great buy❣ can't go wrong with this one❤️💕👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼

### 5/5 — Fear for sale. Houston Black river

*2017-01-01, version 1.0.0*

Excellent game, good story, also quite long so good value for money. Have nearly finished the main game. No problems with play although occasionally the hint button does seem to do random things so if it points you where you cannot go ignore it. Enjoy

### 3/5 — Loading circles!

*2016-12-10, version 1.0.0*

Really good long game but the loading circles took longer and longer as I progressed. Cannot complete the bonus game as they are now unbearable! Why?!?
