I am about 40 minutes in and have just finished the first two 'chapters'. I think I am now in a flashback but will have to play a bit more to be sure.

This installment looks and feels just like I remember the first. It certainly has the same visual style, and the visual novel aspect is prominent. There is no spoken word just like the first, and again you explore the fixed screen in front of you with your mouse rather than move your character around within it. Hotspots will generate a little magnifying glass and will glow and even trill when interacted with.

Possibly also like the first, the hiding places for coins will not generate a magnifying glass; I don't actually know because I forgot that aspect and haven't tried clicking non-hotspots yet (but I certainly don't have any coins!).

Puzzling has so far been gentle, and has involved finding and using items, mainly keys but a few other things. Your inventory is a little pouch bottom left and you drag items to try them in the world.

You can save at will (it doesn't tell you that), but the game also saves at various points, including when exiting from the menu (but not from within the game). There is only one save slot however, but you can have three games on the go should you wish to.

Maps will help you navigate the environments and speaking of which, I just got one for the bear bazaar so am off to deliver some bear-buns.


Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.
