    This game is different and original, two reasons why it starts out fine. However, I don't agree with the main review's claim that the items are relevant to the scene. The game becomes tedious by returning to the same scenes for inexplicable reasons. There are innumerable places where a person can go to in this Universe so why constantly visit the same ones? This is a constant with these games - limited variety in scenes. The game is very verbose about the items having a description of each which seems forced. As I mentioned I loved the game until it started repeating puzzles and scenes. The mini-games ARE repetitious and easy and can be skipped. Also I got annoyed by the game constantly returning to the same scene where she appears to be sleep and where the text is always the same. Still, if you are less picky than I am you will likely enjoy this game a lot. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    nice game no problems with game, but after awhile it got kind of boring. I got tired of doing the same things over and over. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Fun game with a plot that did flow well. The mini-games were nice even though the drawing of the symbols did get somewhat tedious at times. I enjoyed this game. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I enjoyed this game for the most, some animations were silly but the story was catchy and it made sense. Also it was fun not to have just a clues list but also the object's shape to find stuff. Items were related to the story and that was a plus. Sometimes it was a little too easy but tha might have been just me. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I enjoyed the settings for each screen/portal. the cut scenes are attractive, and the sound effects of nature sounds are well done. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Fun game to play, interesting story, outstanding graphics complete with moving objects every so often. Mini games are easy but just a very enjoyable experience. Some items are cleverly concealed which adds to the fun. Well done. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Wonderful transitions. A bit repetitive but one of the stronger hidden object games of late. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Good game, I didn't really enjoy some points of the game since some objects were too small for me, and it was too easy. It's an ok game, not bad but not great. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I played the hour demo, and was bored. It was way too easy, with no timer and quickly replenshing hints. Not that things were hidden very well. Really nice graphics, good sound, OK story, but the lack of challenge killed it for me. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Wow! The imagination and intellegence required to come up with this are amazing! The variety of ways in which you search for items, the graphics and locations, and the perceptiveness of the storyline all combine to make this very interesting as well as great relaxation and fun. You are not racing a timer which means you can take time to enjoy the scenes. I hope there is a sequel. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    The game is ok, not very challenging, but very clever in its make-up. I would rate it 4 stars if I could click through the story scenes. I was not really interested in the story (not my taste, but well written for its genre). The scenes and other transitions move very slowly and the player can't click through them as in other similar games. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    On the whole, I enjoyed this game. I thought that the scenes were well done, and the story was fun. I would have given it five stars. However, I had some issues regarding the point and click function. Sometimes, I would click something and it wouldn't register that I had identified a hidden object. Very frustrating !!! I'm not sure if anyone else experienced this, or if it was perhaps a technical issue caused by my laptop. If so, then five stars. :D Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I loved this game. I could not stop playing. I just finished. The storyline was good. It gave you are reason for searching for the endless items. Also the further along in the game, the longer it took for the hints to refresh. So, the end portals were more challenging. I will definitely recommend this game to my friends.

    I really didn't like this. I didn't even finish the demo. It was too easy to skip thru everything due to the many hints (which can be a plus, but just made this a bit boring). And the story just didn't grab me. The new generation of these games that have more of a puzzle angle than pure HO are more interesting to me right now.

    Yes, we always complain, when a game is too short.But that does not mean,that the length should come from endles videoclips you cant skip,slow animations and annoying comments on every item.I seldom stop playing a ho-game.but this one, i did. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate
