Drama Queen of ZZZ
Wow, I really tired to like this HOG. I mean really tried...but from the opening HOS that made me jump when I clicked on the first object( hint: turn off sound effects) to the tiny written dialogue to the randomness of direction, well after 10 minutes I quit, deleted the game and didn't think twice about it. Unless you like being bored to death...I wouldn't buy this game.

Good game for beginners
This game would be good for beginners to HOG. I did not find the objects that difficult to find altho some objects were. The game was straight HOG and you did not have to jump all around the place which would be less confusing for a beginner. The Hint Button and Skip Button is a big help when you're stuck. The Puzzles were not that difficult and a good introductory for when the gamer gets into the more difficult HOGs. I found the storyline interesting and the music was not that bad or annoying. I prefer the more difficult games; however, once in awhile, it's refreshing to play a straight HOG : ]

LAME
Not challenging at all and the graphics are terrible. I wouldn't download this again if it was free.

Not really a fun game
Items too small, had a hard time reading the tiny print for the clues, didn't give enough time to read the comments before flipping to the next lines, music was annoying.
This is a no buy for me, deleted it after 10 minutes.

Not horrible
If you're in the mood for a straight-up hidden object game, this isn't too bad. The graphics are decent and scenes well-lit. There is no timer and the mini-games can be skipped (though most are ridiculously simple). It took me about two and a half hours to complete, so it's not a very long game - I'd recommend it if you've got some extra credits and want something that won't tax the brain too much.

Strange mystery
This game not for me. Yes, the HOS were great, graphics excellent, but slow play for me. Confusing at times. Music annoying, especially when you pick up an object for your HO scene. Characters, eh, I've seen better. The plot is worthwhile, reading dialog not for me. Did my best and made it through this game. Game length too short. Puzzles, moderate to hard.

To much, didn't flow well
My take on this game is money not well spent. To much time looking at conversations and no real flow to the game. Not good at all. No brain teasers and most of the hunt was done for you

Not for the Visually Challenged
Sorry, developers. I can't play this game. The objects are too small for me to see, much less distinguish, which means that the only way for me to find objects in the hidden object scenes is by random clicking. Unfortunately, the game penalizes you for doing so, making the cursor swirl around randomly after you hit two or three objects incorrectly.
In addition, the print is impossibly small, to the point where I had trouble even seeing the letters I was typing for my screenname. The small print in the backstory and in the gameplay instructions? Eye-strainingly small. There's also no way to enlarge the screen and therefore expand the font. Nor are there any voiceovers, so you can't gather the information needed in that fashion.
All told, this game is terrible for anyone who is visually challenged or visually disabled. For shame, devs. It's 2012! You should know better than this! X(

Not a buy for me
Usually I love HOG games with extra little puzzles thrown in. This one had small objects to find and some with unusual names like "stone leek".. what??? After 30+ minutes of play, I was bored. Storyline didn't catch my attention. Additional puzzles were ok to "oh, this kind again". Sorry, I don't think this one is for me.

OK Game To Pass The Time
Definitely not a mind bender of a game. Its OK as a space filler if you have some time to kill. Puzzles are not hard. I played with the music off since the other reviews said how annoying the music was. Lots of hidden objects to find, some are even difficult to see because they are so small. Overall, not too bad but I've played better games.
