CHALLENGING PUZZLES
If you like a game that is different and challenging, this is it. With most games I can watch TV at the same time - this had to have my full attention - I call that the best type of game.

A true puzzle game
I really tried to like this game, as I love puzzles and a good story. The premise of this game is great; solve puzzles to find the missing pages of a magical book.
The puzzles are varied both in type and in difficulty, and I imagine they get harder as one progress through the chapters.
So as a puzzle game, based on that alone, it is great.
However, there are some things that are so annoying it made me abandon the game.
FIRST- and the main - I am left-handed and have set up my mouse accordingly. I.e switched the mouse buttons to fit left-handed use. But this game seems to have only one set-up hardwired, it does not recognise a left-handed set-up.
In order to solve some puzzles, such as turn-to-fit-the-shapes late in chapter one, I was forced to go to Control panel to set the mouse up to right-handed. Then everything worked, but I can not play for long with my fingers in such an unnatural position.
SECOND - the game is timed. In itself that is okay, but here it is timed in such a way that you have 30 minutes per chapter. And there are 10 puzzles in each chapter, the time accumulates for each puzzle.
But - if you run out of time the chapter 'resets' and you will have to solve all puzzles in that chapter again. Very tedious!
For these reasons, I will not recommend this game. Simply because left-handed players cannot play comfortably, and because of the annoyance of having to re-play puzzles.

Great game but can't save progess
I played teh game 3 times and all 3 I had to sign up again and start all over. I don't know if it's before I finished the demo without saving it but it will take me all day to complete the game without quiting for a break.

Relaxed and atmospheric puzzle game
The 1st and, to me, the best of the Azada serie!
I'm less convinced by the 2 sequels, which are more hidden object orientated.
The plus in this first version of azada:
Once you have completed the story, you have a complete access to all the puzzle to play again at will.

Great variety in one game
Love the puzzles in this one. I wish the sequels would have been this good. I would love to see more games like this with interesting mini-game/puzzles and less hidden object scenes.

Loved it but...
...didn't love how it was timed. Even if I was able to bank my time after each chapter, it wouldn't have been so bad. I also found that the "tamper-proof" book could be a little touchy when I tried to place something in my inventory. I'd hear that noise and see my time slip away. With that all said, it was a unique and enchanting game. I love various puzzles and I was able to note where my strengths and weaknesses were. Once the game is completed, you can play all the puzzles in relaxed mode. I love the music, it's very appropriate for the story. And the story kept me hooked right until the end!

A lot of diiferent puzzles
Of all the games I have, this is the one I played most. But I still have some problems with the robot and the matches.
Maybe next tim it will be better.

azada ancient mystery
Very good I enjoyed it. After playing the first azada I had an idea what to do to continue the books, but without that knowledge I think I would have been stumped, brilliant game, this is what I like.
Many thanks and can't wait for the next one which I really hope there will be.
