### 2/5 — Bug ruins it

*2024-04-21, version 1.0.0*

Nice game up to the point where the helmet disappears and you’re stuck. I paid full price for half the game and no bonus chapter. Not cool.

Big Fish should think about a way to verify whether the hint is feasible and skip the step that requires something that’s missing. Such a solution could bypass any disappearing inventory bug. Just like a SKIP in a mini game.

### 1/5 — Curious society thief of life

*2023-03-21, version 1.0.0*

I should not have bought this game too violent for me with all the guns another game I wasted my money on have not played through only the first introduction

### 4/5 — The thief of life…

*2022-06-10, version 1.0.0*

So far no cliche’s but I’m not going to hold my breath.

### 5/5 — Fascinating and captivating games

*2021-04-25, version 1.0.0*

I really love nearly all the Big Fish Games. So many brain games, mysteries to solve, pleasing colours and captivating scenery, as well as interesting plots and characters. Not to mention the noticeably apparent occult and Masonic symbols throughout all the games.... kinda makes you wonder who makes all of these?

### 5/5 — Wow 5= stars from me

*2019-10-03, version 1.0.0*

The graphics are out of this world. Fantastic game. Challenging puzzles which many I skipped as I was too impatient but wish the game would have gone for longer. Love this game though.

### 2/5 — Deflated by DOMINI 🏹🎈🥊

*2019-09-01, version 1.0.0*

🎉🥳
 I was initially ecstatic as the game began, like a party, with my “FAVORITE TRIFECTA of FUN” 
and exactly what I’ve always wanted from the beginning 
⭐️MULTIPLE Mini Games, Puzzles and HO⭐️
    complete with EASY and HARD settings.

and it got better!
🌀NO ANIMALS 
🌀Custom Settings
🌀Deep Hues and Bright Colors in Scenes 
🌀Crisp “On Point” Graphics 
🌀A Variety of differing Objects 
DOMINI has obviously looked at the dusty calendar, realizing how long HO games have been stuck in a “Time Warp”             (no, not the fun dance) 

🙊FINALLY recognizing the stench of old rotting ideas piling up on Deaths Doorway (@the corner of Big Fish+Apple) and thinking outside the box (or casket) these decayed ideas are rightfully buried in.

🏹They aimed high, setting out to redefine the new standard in HO games with fresh modern ideas and creative concepts..... Oh, Joy of Joys...!

But Then ....

SWOOSH! SLAM!🥳🥊                                                                   As soon as Owl Wand magically removed the debris....I was instantaneously deflated, as the Fun Police arrived and shut the party down.

It must’ve been an “Evil” Owl Wand....                                       because as the tons of DUST resettled, it was like an archaic HOP 101 checklist:

👎🏻Car (disabled in any manner) 

👎🏻Broken Bag Zipper w Paperclip

👎🏻Dusting off Cobwebs 

👎🏻Repairing Wire w Tape 

👎🏻A NASTY CRACKLING SQUAWKING CROW                                I spoke too soon.

I wish the Owl Wand could have removed all THIS debris  - permanently.

Why is it SO difficult to change/update concepts, scenery, progression flow, objects, items....anything ...to make it new? 
More creative?
Requiring some actual skill?
Make HO actually hidden?
~~~~~~~~

I’m halfway through the game (and my box of tissues) doubtful of a major turnaround to edit review. 

But as an eternal optimist (really!) .... stranger things.....

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-12-31, version 1.0.0*

I Love this Game

### 1/5 — Total rubbish

*2018-10-14, version 1.0.0*

Don't waste your time or money

### 5/5 — Nice

*2017-08-15, version 1.0.0*

The mini games, on the easy setting, were almost a little too easy, but I liked it all the same.

### 4/5 — 😀 DYNAMIC, DIVERSE, DARING DELIGHT by DOMINI 🤗

*2017-06-23, version 1.0.0*

Prepare to be astounded and confounded with a medley of challenging, complex mini-games (instructions occasionally could've stood improvement) and 18 outstandingly unique and creative HOPs (which include Match3 alternative). Customizable settings, captivating story, Collectibles, and comical EXTRAS feature round out a spectacular production.
