Currently playing MCF: Return to Ravenhearst. Well into it, and have not yet used a hint in a hidden object scene. (Oh no; that'll jinx it! And they're HARD.) The reason I am mentioning this game is because I am so impressed with the music. I cannot find credits included with the game, and a search takes me to a list of credits; but the music is credited to a "SomaTone Interactive Audio" in California, but not a composer's name. I think it's odd the credits are not included with the game as they usually are. Can you tell? I have decided to re-play all the Mystery Case Files; and hoping to see a new one soon, as they usually release one this time of year.

I am replaying Reflections of Life: Equilibrium CE now and have been for several days. I first played this game in 2016. This is a "big" game, with a lot to do in every scene and things to come back for once you've learned something or found a piece of inventory elsewhere. Notes are essential, and even though there is a Map in the game, I am drawing my own as I go along since it helps me keep track of what there is to do and where there is Inventory needed to do it. You get one of those companion animals to help you retrieve distant objects, etc., and I always enjoy that feature. Most of the puzzles aren't challenging, but I will say there were a couple that I had no idea what to do with, much less solve. I don't usually skip any puzzles, and I skipped one in this game.
There is no purple smoke nor any cheesy antagonists. The graphics are excellent, realistic and helpful in solving your tasks. There isn't much character interaction, but I am so engrossed in the game that I didn't notice it until halfway through. I finished the main game and am playing the Bonus Game now.
There are at least eight games in this series, but they aren't all this good. In fact, I test drove and bailed out on five of them without buying. So, it pays to play the Demo before deciding to purchase!
