If not the CE then definitely buy the SE!
For Fishies who did not purchase the CE version of this game, then do not under any circumstance hesitate to get the SE version. Lets start with the storyline: A group of orphans with special abilities are missing and you must learn what happened to them inside the abandoned orphanage. While doing so, you have many puzzles to solve, very good mini-games and what I really loved about this game were the HOS. There were two modes in playing the HOS scenes, one being interactive where you collected the items on the list and the other where you placed items in their correct position. It wasn't as easy as it sound. The game options offered two playing modes and custom cursor. You have a journal as well as a map. The other feature that made the story extra interesting was that you had to collect each child's "special ability" and use them during you search. There are voice-overs and the graphics are top notch. All in all this is a very well designed game which I recommend for those who do not own the CE version. I definitely and positively recommend it. Happy Gaming!

Beautiful Sequel To The Dingy Though Enjoyable 1st Agency of Anomalies
GAME COMPLETED SEVERAL TIMES
Story: It?s your 2nd case with the Agency of Anomalies, and this time you must save five prodigy children and their caretaker, who disappeared during a fire at Cinderstone Orphanage. Help the disembodied inhabitants of the orphanage use their extraordinary abilities to destroy the plans of the evil doers behind this tragedy.
Developer: Orneon
Release Date: Mar 2012
Extras: Cut Scene Replays, Special Abilities
Following the pattern of the first in this series, you are a paranormal investigator, and you can expect to come across inexplicable and supernatural happenings, individuals whose souls are not at rest, and a psycho scientist somewhere in the mix.
You have an Anomalous Activity Detector (Hint) and a Nexus collector for gathering special abilities. The nature of the special abilities you acquire are more imaginative than expected, and while not used often, added to the game?s originality.
This is a beautiful game. Which is well done, since it is set in a burnt out orphanage . The cut scenes are great, HOs clear and relevant, and puzzles often startlingly original as well as beautiful. The HOs were easy enough, both list and return items, but the puzzles were much harder than the first of this series. I skipped more than I solved. For me, I would have preferred easier ones.

FINALLY THE SE ARRIVES !!! TK'S!!! A GAME TO BUY NOW!
Immersive and very interesting story: helping to save the special children who disappeared in the explosion that occurred at the orphanage left me spellbound.
Philip, the lonely musician, Robert, the fighter and his toy ... so, free trial ended,... I had to buy immediately!
Very well done graphics, excellent voice over, great sound, intriguing characters, impressive atmosphere.
Throughout story, you will gain "powers" that help you move on.
Right amount of interactive HOS, not too challenge, but nice. Once you find the objects, later, in another scene, will put them in place.
Some mini games are new and good challenging, others are well known and easy.
Do not forget to collect the postcards!

Glad I read the previous reviews!
I think the title of my review says it all; I decided to buy this game based on the reviews I read, and I'm really glad I did. Whenever I try a new series I'm always leery, because I really hate to use a credit only to find out I've bought a "wannabe." PC games and reading are my two favorite stay-at-home-escapes, and I really enjoy something that's difficult to put down or walk away from; unfortunately I've too frequently taken chances on games whose creators seem to be trying #unsuccessfully# to come up with a game that mimics some of the more popular series. They've ended up with vague story-lines, tired and unchallenging puzzles, and an over-all boring experience. When I read the reviews of this one however #I paid most attention to "expert players"#, I decided to try it. I really enjoyed it, because it employed all of my favorite elements: hidden object, collection and use of inventory items, adventure, and I especially liked the addition of the "hidden object scenes" where I had to place the items I'd previously found back in the scene. So, not only do you have puzzles locks to solve, but the entire game ends up being multiple puzzles within a puzzle when it adds the inventory items that you have to figure out where to use and the "special" hidden object scenes where the items are placed back. The only reason I didn't give the storyline a five, as well, is because I thought it was just a little silly and not really told as well as it could have been; that's just based my personal preferences, though, and I hope it doesn't deter anyone from purchasing this game. One of my favorite things about this game, believe it or not, was actually the background music and sound effects. So many times I find these both so annoying and distracting that I end up turning the volume down on them. This game actually did a great job on both, and I enjoyed it even more because of it. I sincerely hope this reveiw encourages others to buy it - you'll certainly be glad you did! I, myself, am earnestly hoping that a similar one will be released soon! Happy playing, everyone!

Loving it!
What a happy surprise to find out how much I like this game. Love the graphics, the story line is quite good, and there is just enough hand holding so I don't get terribly frustrated.
I'm not the most creative problem solving thinker, and even with the WT I am a slower than average player -- this game is is proving to be a worthy challenge. Delightfully so, in fact.
Music is lovely and the story keeps my interest. The illustrations give the game just the right feeling.
I used a free credit to purchase, so this makes my purchase even more perfect!! I am thrilled with my choice!

Save the poor children's souls
I liked the story line about children with supernatural powers being subjected to experimentation, then dying in a fire. Enjoyed the graphics and the almost linear movement throughout the scenes. Some back tracking involved but not enough to mess with your head. When you "Return a child's power" they loan that ability to your character which you in turn use in the story to get from one scene to another. Nice touch, but sometimes you want to use that ability and the game won't allow it. Pretty easy mini-games even in expert mode. I reccommend the game at the sale price, but not for the collector's edition price.

Just about average
I haven't tried the previous one in the series but this sequel seems okay.
- good graphics and great cutscenes
- professional voice-overs
- easy minigames though neither new nor extraordinary
- some adventure but emphasis is placed on HO Scenes
- HO Scenes are the usual pile of junk, but are interactive
- tasks present no novelty either
- you earn achievements and collect some of the character's abilities
Considering the point I got to in the demo, the game is probably fairly short.
An okay game if you have nothing better

Deserves more Than 5 Stars
I wish I could give this hidden object adventure game more than 5 stars for the soundtrack alone. The storyline is excellent with compelling sympathetic characters . The visuals were beautiful. Great Hidden object scenes. Excellent and fun mini puzzles that tried my patience sometimes. The hint button works for the adventure part of the game as well as the h.o. scenes. As the game progresses the play acquires special skills and powers to enchance gameplay.

Average and boring
Looked forward to this game but there was too much hand holding - prefer not to be told what item i need for an action or where i can find it. Would like to have had a map with ability to go from area to area - needless amount of travelling thru outside/inside, etc. Found nothing new in minigames and out of frustration skipped two. Graphics and music/voice well done. Recommend for a newbie to HO games. Having just finished Surface Mystery... which had newness and challenge - if you are an expert/ intermediate try demo-know it is like the entire game then decide. Matouks

Great Game
You have done another masterpiece for HOG's. Cinderstone is a fantastic play! Great graphics, excellent story, and overall a wonderful journey through all the areas.
I did have to look through the blog walkthrough 1 time.
Hints are great. Keep your eyes open for all the details through each scene. Thank you I enjoyed this game very much!
