After playing the 1 hr demo, this one's not for me. Search screens way too cluttered and objects grainy. Got really sick of searching through her junky handbag which requires no skill, only patience. Poor hint system. Ferret is cute. Background music is same score as Mushroom Age in parts. Just wish the game itself were as good as that one! I'll pass.

I did enjoy the plot and storyline of the game. However there were a few glitches that really irritated me. The clicks were extremely imprecise and there were many times that I clicked on an object with no results only to waste a hint for that very same object. There were some mispelled words on the object list which is a big stickler for me. For example one item said tubE but the object was actually tubA this happened more than once. The mini games varied from ridiculously easy to me scratching my head as what exactly to do. There was also a glitch in one of those where at Tesla's museum one of the balls on the table puzzle got stuck in a corner and I could not move it to a slot as well as during the cooking game one of my spoons simply disappeared. These things really took away from the enjoyment of the game for me. Overall it was pleasant but it could have been so much more. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

With due respect to everyone who reviewed this game after only playing the demo (and deleting it after 20 minutes), I really enjoyed this game. Also I don't think one should REVIEW a game based on a preview. Yes, there were some annoyances, but the production values were excellent (for this type of game). Falling into the recently usual Eastern European mode, characters slide on and off from the sidelines and say their lines (decent voice acting, but not great), with minimal animation. Meh. That doesn't make or break a game. What DOES is the value of the Hidden Object Puzzles (mostly fair), the Minigames (some of which are INCREDIBLY HARD, in some cases, but you can skip many of them) Object Puzzles (also mostly fair) and, for what it's worth, the STORY. At least there WAS a story, and not too intrusive, sometimes hilarious. Yes, some of it is downright creepy: Repairing Steve's Piercings? Ewwww! However, I think that this was an intellectual challenge, and I like that in a Hidden Object/Adventure. The final jigsaw puzzle made me satisfied that I had solved it. It was also incredibly satisfying to use the brick at the end. And I like Ferrets. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

This sequel didn't live up to the first game in my opinion. It has been quite a while since I played the other Laura Jones game but I don't recall that there was so much confusion on some of the object names. I think the academic background in the first game was more interesting and saw no point to the ferret. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

This game was frustrating. The characters made strange movements, some of the hidden objects were mislabeled (a comb is not a hairbrush; an artist's palette is not a canvas; and a ball of twine is not a web), and the final jigsaw puzzle was way too difficult. I uninstalled the game without finishing it after trying that puzzle. I play for fun, not aggravation. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

What a huge disappointment! The game was too short and too flawed. I would not recommend this game to anyone. I enjoy HOG's but this one is definitely not replayable. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

I totally agree with Michelep62. This game has more flaws and disappointments than any game should have. The thing with the purse is true, once you go through it, you've gone through it but to have to go back repeated times and move stuff around is stupid. A lot of other things are stupid also like having to put things together and taking forever to find what you need and how to make it work. I finished the demo hoping for better but it was not there. Would not buy nor recommend this game. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

I am not a HOG fan, most are repetitive and annoying to me, but this game was actually fun and kind of smart! Great effort! I do however wish there were a few more levels. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate
