I think I read somewhere that this game was very short. I don't know whether or not to use a game credit for it. I played the 30 minute demo and liked it and then I joined Big Fish game club and downloaded it again and it took me to where I left off the first time. So now that I have an hour into the game, I was on the piano/picture puzzle, I just wanted to know if the game is much longer and should I use a credit? Thanks

Fil, I bought the game and it took me just under 4 hours to complete the first time.

BET finished in just under 3 hours.

I have already played it through twice (2nd time through was under 2 hours) and started again yesterday.

It's kind of difficult to tell you if the game was worth buying. While it is short, I only paid the $6.99 and really enjoyed solving the puzzles. But I also really liked Azada and Mortimer Beckett as well.

Have fun whatever you decide,

So many games, so little time.

I liked the game a lot Fil and I don't remember how long it took me. I played the first part one day and went back another day to finish it.
I liked the puzzles a lot as they weren't ones that would keep you stumped for hours or days and I liked that there was nothing timed.

Well, I really liked this game too. It was different from the others. I guess I know where I'll use my game credit. grin Thanks for the input.

It was worth a game credit as far as my opinion goes Fil. I hope they will finish the story off a bit more with a Dream Chronicles 2.
We'll be interested to hear if you liked it also.

I also liked it enough to pay $7. One of the few I've bought the minute the trial ended.

It took me a bit less than 4 1/2 hrs the first time, and I started replaying it a few days later to pick up on some things I'd missed the first time. But I stopped for a while, as it was going too fast the second time.

Point is, it's a little short, but also replayable.

I think the developers were interviewed at Gamezebo, and there will be a sequel.

Gerry it may be too new of a release to be out in the stores yet.

Thanks Sue. It looks like a fun game. I'm now really enjoying Casual Games now that Adventure Games are now getting slower to be released.

Yes I loved the screen shots I saw. It looks like a beautiful game with lots of bright colors. I really hope it comes to stores soon. Thanks again Sue. :cat:

I'm so glad I got this game. It's so different from other casual games. It's like a mini adventure game where you have to figure out little problems and the reason I like it so much is that the area you have to figure out the puzzle is right there, no running here and there and talking to the right people. smile I also liked trying to open the locked doors in MCF Ravenhearst.

Then you would really enjoy Azada and Mortimer Beckett (not at BFG yet - but keep waiting). If not the entire game, both are really worth the demo's time.

Is there a place to get the solution to the piano puzzle?
I'm going batty trying to figure this one out.
Thanks, Urabeth

Seeing this thread reminded me that I started this game a few months ago and got stuck on the last part. Since it's a casual game, do I post my request for help here or go to the hints forum?

I quite liked the game. Beautiful scenery and I agree with whoever said that they liked not having the timed puzzles.

Celtic Lark, You may post your thread for help here. You can also search the casual forum for previous threads that may already answer your question.

I wrote a walkthrough for this a while back.

That last puzzle - you mean the crazy one with all of those jewels scattered around with clues on them when you click them, right? That was a doozy.

Thanks, Ana. I'll do both a search for help and consult Sally's walkthrough.

Sally - The part I couldn't figure out was
Click to reveal..
how to get the lights on and get upstairs in the house where my husband is being held prisoner.

Oh, THAT...
Click to reveal..

Click on a light and see how many times it blinks. It'd be either 1, 2, 3 or 4 times. Number them by ascending blinks, then click them in that order.

What comes after that is harder to do but easier to figure out.

It would be that simple, wouldn't it? There I was, trying to break windows and do all sorts of funky things. I think I'm going to go try your suggestion right now. Thanks!

Update: I just finished with the help of your walkthrough. Thanks so much. I never would have gotten some of that crystal ball puzzle without it!
