Sophisticated Hidden Object Adventure
It takes a bit of time to follow the creators jumps through different time periods - with a bit persistance this game appears to a very challenging gameplay, with a marvelous fun factor until its end.

A great game on many levels
This game reminded me a bit of Margrave Manor with the changing of locales or in this case-times. It kept me occupied for a full day and I didn't have to check the walkthrough more than twice. That is always the sign of a good game for me. It means that they didn't get too far afield in the game making sense and the HOS always had something to do with the story.

Not one of my favorites
An award should be given for being the most junkpile-ish....IMHO, but the Hint refills quickly. However, the H0s were not dark, but brightly colored. HOG lovers will like this game as there are a lot of them. The puzzles are all doable. There is a lot of hand-holding. I liked the Time Device concept. It makes getting around very easy, but actually offers no challenge to the game what-so-ever. The story is inconsequential. My current fav is Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy.

Great until the ending
Overall, while in the midst of the game, it was a very enjoyable and playable game that kept my interest. The difficulty of the HOS's was quite inconsistent, with some being truly difficult and some being ridiculously easy. In any case, with both the HOS's and the gameplay, the hint system was helpful enough that I only had to consult the walkthrough once.
But right when you get to the climax, when you think you've almost accomplished your goal, you get a screen with the words: "To be Continued." I hate it when a game does this. In fact, I have yet to find the sequel to a game that ends that way. So I left the game greatly disappointed. Hence I only gave it 3 stars.

Ageless
One of the best games ever. Graphics are of high quality. A must to buy.

To Be Continued???!!!
The only reason I rated this four stars instead of five is that it ends with "to be continued," which to me is no ending. Don't get me wrong, I love games that have sequels. In fact, a lot of times it assures me, if I enjoyed the former one, that the next one is a quality game but each should be a self contained unit. Hours of game play with many hidden object scenes. The fact that you go back and forth in time takes a lot of boredom out of going through the same scenes to place objects because each time period is different.

Awesome game
This game was terrific. It is one of the most challenging I have played. It had great graphics and sound. The story line is not a big deal to me so can't really comment there. The HOS are challenging and have a neat option that I played several times just for the fun of it. The game keeps you very involved and has a good flow.
It was a definite challenge and well worth the 6.99.

Just In Time Mysteries
When I started the demo, I wasn't sure about this game. Then it started to grab me. So I bought it. It's a good, long game - something I always look for. Once you get used to the Time Machine for hopping around - it's not bad at all. It can even help you. Just don't count on it for everything.
Maybe it's my eyes, but I found the graphics in the HOS's made the items a bit hard to find. Not a big deal. I had fun playing - and there were a few challenges!

FAB GAME
brilliant game, challenging, which is what i like, could be a little confusing if your memory is as bad as mine, couldn't always remember where and what time era i needed to go to, but this added to the challenge, the game was also an excellent length, can't wait for the next one.
