    I found it really great. Ended the game with 78 hints collected... After a few levels you get used to the art work and it's just fun to find items without looking at what you're trying to find. Short but max fun. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Gameplay could be extremely fun, but can't get past the oddly drawn hidden objects. Reminds me too much of the "Highlights" (a kids magazine) find-it puzzles. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I agree, game gets monotonous after while, but the art-work is beautiful!...The story-line had me really confused, especially the last photo of melissa...made NO sense...hopefully, they will explain the photo in the sequel game?....the game has the potential to be really fun, if they'd add a little variety....

    Very one-sided. If you like doing the same thing over and over ad infinitum, you'll like this game. It was not for me, though. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I applaude the game designers for the beautiful art work and storyline and also for trying a new twist on the Hidden Object Games. I have given 1 star for those reasons. However, I am sorry to say like some others have stated the same opinion this game just could not hold my interest more than the 1st screen. The black and white objects I just found boring. No animation, nothing entertaining other than the color filling in. Perhaps others find this enjoyable but I found the game boring. I usually don't like giving a bad review and agree with the other user reviews who have stated all the same reasons I will not repeat why this game just could not hold my interest. The 1st screen and finding the objects in the sheets was really tedious say the least. I am deleting the game and glad I tried the demo first. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I enjoyed this game...for a while, then decided it was too much of the same, over and over. The graphics are beautiful, and I enjoyed the unusual HOG play, but ultimately found it a little boring. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Liked the pictures, but did not like the black and white areas to find hidden objects in. It got tedious after awhile. Very slow progress too. Story was a good idea, but I quit before the Trial time was over. Did not enjoy it at all. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    One of the most boring, slow games I have played. Took forever to even exit. Uninstalling right now. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Reminds me of the highlights HO pages I did as a child. The objects were diffcult to find, mindless clicking trying to see where the items were. Not enough time for the tile swap mini game, hard on the eyes. Good concept but poorly done. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but everything in the game moved so slowly I couldn't even finish the trial game. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Not my favorite hidden object game. Kind of reminds me of Highlights Hidden Pictures. I don't care for them. My son would like this game I think but I didn't care for it. Good story line though and it wouldn't of been so bad if the scenes were colored but I know it would of ruined the concept of the game. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Molly was right on with her review but I found the graphics extra cool. They are time period drawings which change into color as you find the objects. Amy, herself looks like a 30's or 40's movie star like RITA HAYWORTH_ -anybody remember her?? The story also seems to revolve around the callalilly flower because they are in every picture to find. The music is nice but the overall draw to the game for me is the nostalgia of loooking at magazine ads from old Life magazines etc. It's just a very unique game with lots of choices and hints. KUDOS to the developers for bringing something different to the table. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    This is an HOG with a difference - you have to look for the objects in black and white line drawings representing old photographs. You have the option of using either text descriptions of the items you need to find or pieces of the objects. Each time you find an object and click on it, that portion of the photo colors up. Once you find all the objects the entire picture becomes a colored photo. There are two types of hints: one has a bubble rise up the screen in the general area of where an object is located and the other has white sparkles on the object - keep your eyes peeled for these because they don't stand out much. There are also mini-games that help you win more hints: a quiz, with the questions pertaining to the time period of the photos, a "doodle" game where you have to click on a number of doodles that appear in the photo or a tile game where you click on a portion of the photos that match the tiles on the right side of the screen. You have the option of skipping the games after you play them once or continuing to play until you win some hints. The story is interesting and I did want to continue to play the game to find out if Amy learns the family secrets but the game itself does take some getting used to. I liked the story and the music but the graphics are a little hard on the eyes. I enjoyed playing it but haven't decided if I want to add it to my collection yet. I would recommend giving the demo a try - you might like it! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Beautiful hand drawn scenes and characters, but way to slow, and as the other reviewers said it's hard on your eyes. The music could have been better as well, it was to depressing. I wish it had grabbed me in more, but it just didn't. The hand drawn scenes would have kept me wanting to see the next one, that's for sure. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate
