relaxing and fun
This one was bright, colorful and very enjoyable. Even though the story did try to solve a murder, there were no dark rooms or creepiness. Thank you. Nice change. The artwork was really beautiful, the storyline engaging and the game filled with a variety of puzzles. It is set up in six chapters with achievements to achieve in each. I played the SE version and even so it was fairly long. This one was bright and quite entertaining. I would buy another in the series in a flash.

A little too easy but beautiful to look at
Another lovely game from Boomzap & there are achievements to collect to add interest. There are no voiceovers except in the cut scenes but the dialogue is clickable & the piano score is not very memorable.
The graphics are clear & the artwork nicely drawn, a lovely hint at how beautiful Tuscany is. There are two modes, casual with a 60 second hint recharge & advances with a 2 min hint and joy of joys no sparkles at all. I advise playing on advanced mode as this is a very easy game, I even managed to complete all the mini puzzles without using the skip button which is very unusual. These are pretty varied & I enjoyed playing them, there were not many hidden object scenes.
You get a journal with the story & clues, a character list & you can replay the cut scenes. There is a task list if you lose track of what you are doing & the hint button is very helpful.
Took me about 3-1/2 hours; I did not rush as the scenes were well worth exploring, the ending was definitely happy & satisfying.

Relaxing Game
I love this series. Puzzles are easy for the most part and the story is so good. Very few HOGS but the scenery and ease of the puzzles makes it a game that just flows. I play on the casual level and had such an enjoyable time.

Not my favourite game
I loved the first game in this series so could not wait to buy this one. On the plus side the graphics are good as is the music. The storyline did not appeal as much as the first story but it was interesting enough. The puzzles were not over challenging. The minus is the difficulty with the cursor. It is sometimes hard enough to find where to use an inventory item but when the game rejects it when you are correct it is downright irritating. I had to try some items four or more times to get them to work. I will think twice before buying another in this series although I will recommend this game at least as a try before you buy.

I just got boored
I tried to like this but it is slow and the music puts you to sleep. No voice over and the hint button is really not much good to me. Tell you where to go but you have to remember where that place is. Most of the puzzles are easy and the HOS are also not hard and different. Just better games out there.

A nice, romantic story!
Aaw... Such a cute story! Helping two lovers to find each other again. The music is good. The graphics are crisp. The HOS are clear. The puzzles are quite easy. There is no map, but the locations are well described. The hint system is good. It took me 3 hours to finish. I spent a nice time playing this game, which is a good break from darker games.

Death Under Tuscan Skies
The Dana Knightstone game series is getting better. I like the first one but there seems to be no diversity, no HOG, 80% puzzles. Glad that this one is better, with more HOG, less puzzles in every 1 minute, good storyline with a twist. The ending is unexpected, although you might have figured out what happened to the guy character, you might not know who did it. The game setting in Europe makes it more special.

Really Enjoyable
Really enjoyed this game and the graphics are superb, i love the different chapters so there's not a lot of back and forth and the storyline is wonderful. I did prefer Death At Fairing Point though, much more romantic. but this is worth a play.

Beautiful Game for Romance Novel Lovers
Bright and beautiful scenes--finally! Music very soothing and matches environment. Puzzles to do and clues to find then follow in order to progress. Played demo. Did not purchase as I prefer more challenge and faster pace.Romance novel readers would enjoy this game!!!

Dana has done it again (lol)
i bought the CE and i loved it as much as the 1st one! it is worth the money if u loved the 1st one and if u did not get it or missed out on it i reccommend it as well "Death at Fairing Point" the storyline is wonderful, graphics clear, sound is wonderful too. but this is my type of game. It is worth at least playing the Demo! ^^ and 1 last thing it is a challenge not so easy u beat it in under 2 hours :)
