    This is a great game. Love the adventure and HO combination. Kinda keeps you on the edge of your seat not sure what to expect which is nice in these days of too much repetition in a lot of games. You have to really think through the puzzles which is frustrating, but a real plus when you complete it. Thanks Sandlot for a great game. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    This game was such a nice and unexpected surprise. There have been a few games like that this year "Wandering Willows," "Emerald City Confidential," and I can comfortably add "Kuros" to that list. I'm really getting spoiled by some of these adventure/hidden-object games. And "Kuros" has left me wanting more than I'll probably ever get. The game isn’t long. But "Kuros" handily did in one game what "Dream Chronicles" did in 3. For me, that's the closest match. Given the high resolution of the graphics in "Kuros," I'm not surprised by the length. Everything is so beautifully rendered with an array of colors. Sandlot has built its name on the "Cake Mania" dynasty, but here's hoping that "Kuros" gets the sequel treatment, also. I can't downgrade the game for being short because it's executed at such a high level. What's important to me is whether the goal that was set up at the outset is accomplished and whether the resolution is thoughtful. And "Kuros" does all of that within its own limitations and boundaries. There are 5 main realms: wood, fire, water, metal, and aether . And each of them has sub locations which includes a corresponding glyphstone that you have to repair by completing a puzzle. 16 sub locations in total. There are interesting characters/guides that help the main character Katya along her journey. One nice thing, once you complete the game you can go back to the various locations and just look around and take everything all in. The only shortcoming is probably the hint system. You have to collect what the game calls “chromatic lenses” in order to use the hints. I don’t think there’s a skip option for the puzzles either. Although, I did come across a “scrying orb” which can be used to solve a puzzle. Despite all of that, I was able to make it through without a walkthrough and utilizing few hints. So perhaps the length was an advantage. But this is definitely one of the best games that I’ve had the pleasure of playing this year. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I am pretty much an intermediate level player of this type game and I really enjoyed it overall. Likeable characters; very imaginative and well-drawn scenes; easy to navigate around the map once you get the hang of the procedure; hunts logically connected to plot and items fairly placed; beautiful scenery and non-irksome musical score. Definitely needs a better hint system. Would be improved by letting you know if you have at least found everthing in one scene. I found the glyph puzzles time consuming - and there were LOTS of them; otherwise, good mix of puzzles with good level of difficulty. Next release needs better instructions/examples, as others have said. Overall, really had a good time playing this one and was good buy IMO. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I liked this game was challenging but not impossible. The key is to keep looking for the map pieces. I collected them at the beginning of each round as much as possible... the worked on the puzzles knowing I could move on when I solved it. Can't wait for Kuros II!

    This is a really great game. Lots of diversity and challenge. I think all levels of gamers will enjoy it. There are aspects which are difficult to figure out but give it time, it'll soon balance itself out.Some things can be frustrating but hang in there. It will be worth your time and effort.

    Brilliant game. Really nice to play, great graphics, different game aspects. Only improvement that could help: more hints. At times, it is really hard to find the right object. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    This is a fun game and really beautiful clear graphics, and the voices are pleasant to listen too. I bought the game after trying the demo and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is what is needed more hints and more options to skip puzzles without having find the scryr staff would have really been appreciated and is needed. Some of the puzzles could have used an example so we understood what to do better. Also I hated drawing the glyphs with the mouse. So it is 4 stars all the way in my opinion.

    Well what do I have to say.. In one word one of the greatest games ever..Challaging, beautiful sceenery, a bit like the Glyph games as well as an organ like game as from the Dream Chronicles. So a bit of this and a bit of that..No problems it's maybe a bit short. I enjoyed ever minute. Found out how to play after some mistakes on my side..LOL. Played it 3 times already, still searching for the map parts and cann't get enough of this marvellous game. Thumbs up Sandelot!! Be my guest to make another one!!

    Great fun! Great artwork and music. Funny story. Good mix of puzzles. I especially liked the mirror puzzles. A bit too short through. I finished it in one afternoon. Overall it's good entertainment but left me wanting more. I would have liked it to be twice that length. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Game is somewhat similar to Treasure Seekers in terms of gameplay, but with lots of other stuff thrown in, great mix of hidden object/adventure/minigames. Minigames can't be skipped, and the story seems rushed. Not all mini-games comes with a tutorial. Hints are few in the game. Graphics are amazing though, and I am having a blast playing this game, but it should have been polished some more before release. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Excellent game - challenging enough that I was wishing for Tips/Tricks already! Nice story too, great graphics and fun mini-games. Will definitely purchase when game funds become available! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate
