Beautiful graphics. I love the story line and the mini games are unique. I think it's medium to difficult level. Unfortunately, I'm almost to the end in the castle ruins and have encountered a glitch. It keeps knocking me out of the game. I'm off to BFG tech support. This is the third game I've downloaded with a glitch recently and I'm getting a little frustrated.

Thank you all for your help.. I am now a master photographer.

This game is a good one although the objects are terribly hard to find... luckily they give you unlimited hints.


How long is the game?

So sorry Scarlet... let us know how you make out. I haven't bought it yet, but I am almost ready to.

I am at the very end of this game and am looking for Brian but I clicked on an object and all of a sudden my screen went black and then the game just seemed to stall and go directly back to windows. I tried twice more and the same thing happened again so I just moved on to a new game and figured I would try again later. Hopefully it will work when I go back to it if not then I guess I will think more on the problem then. However, I really do enjoy the game and the mystery we have to unravel.

Bitty, if it doesn't work when you go back, why don't you get in touch with BigFish?

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but if you downloaded this on the day it was released for game club members, there is a new version that was put out a day or two after that allows you to skip the cutscenes. Just uninstall, redownload and install. It keeps your current progress.

I wasn't impressed with this game and never even finished the demo before uninstalling.

Great reviews - I guess I should try it one more time duh

So many games, so little time.

Well, I came back because I really love it!

I think I got turned off when items are behind other items - you know, I feel like, "ok, give me a break and at least show the item," but after re-installing the game I really hated to leave it. No timer. NO TIMER!! I love that in a game! Interesting mini-game challenges.

I bought it!

Hugs,

Finished this yesterday. I really liked it! The mini-games were different than other games. The graphics were beautiful and I thought the movement in certain scenes was extremely well executed. Also I don't recall the scenes repeating which was a nice touch.

Difficulty level I'd say medium. Harder than the Dream Day series but easier than Madame Fate.

When you finish the game you can go back and play different scenes or replay just the story so that's a really nice touch as well.

Verinica Rivers game could be enjoyable . But the setting of your designation ruins it. Sorry I bought the game It is the worse one I have played.

Sorry you didn't care for the ending. I don't play Casual games for the story so I never pay attention. If the journey was fun, can't you overlook the end?

Do you mean the GPS mini-game? If so, what about it didn't you like?

For those that haven't played it, the GPS mini game is similar to those web mini-games where you have to move things so that the lines don't cross.

If anyone is having trouble with the GPS mini-game...
The way I think of it is as a rubber band wrapped around pegs, and you don't want the rubber band to cross itself. In this game the puzzle is actually rather easy to solve because you always have one or two free pegs to temporarily store on. You try to make the rubber band go in a sort of circular shape around the outside pegs, without crossing through the middle. If there is no free peg next to where you're working from, you pick the rubber band off that peg and move it to one of the free pegs. Don't worry if it makes more red parts, because they'll work themselves out as you go along.

I finished the game and was kind of disappointed at the ending. Obviously it's "to be continued." The hints seem to take longer to recharge as you get towards the end. The colored portal puzzles get more difficult too.
