What kind of game is it? HOG? Adventure?
Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

It's hard to explain, I would say it's a puzzle type HOG in that you find things to move on. Example, you have to find a key to open a box to get a coin to enter into a slot that opens a puzzle to open the door to the next level. That isn't actually in the game, just an example.
I played the one hour demo and got to the middle of the second chapter.
On the site it says there are 17 levels but within the game it uses Chapters so I'm not sure if there are 17 Chapters.....? If there are 17 Chapters then it is a keeper as it seems like it will be longer than other games of it's type such as Dream Chronicles etc.

I've been looking out for this game since I read the preview at Gamezebo a month ago. I jotted down that it is a Casual HOG Adventure by Alawar Entertainment.
To love is to be happy with!

Sounds like an Interactive HOG, my favorite kind.

I raced through the demo so things get blurred. If it's the one I think, you have the numbers 24??07. You need to find the device that looks like a circular wheel with a bar slider. Set the inside one to read 07 and the out side one to read 24 and this gives you the middle numbers.

I am stuck on the safe combination at the prison cells. Does anyone know how to interput the codes needed? There are three rings of numbers. I don't know if they are going from right to left or visa vera....number of cells, number of prisoners and number of guards. Thank you for any information you can share with me.
I have found this to be a good game. I so far have enjoyed it quite a bit. They offer timer option, plenty of hints, interesting story line and most of the items easily found.

I don't think it's that big although I can't really remember. It think it was somewhere in the realm of 50MB which I guess can seem huge if you're on dial-up.
