Fine interactive Movie night at Home
I love these European stories of Dana Knightstone. It is like being there, interacting with characters, doing good deeds and being in the the thick of things.
The picture quality is crisp, clear and enchanting. And the story line has all the old world charm you ecpect from her.
Only negative is that strategy guide is to be founf under menu button - but that is not a big problem.
Enjoy the Europen winter adventure!

The game's great..but the trophies not so much
I love the game and the story is amazing. The only prob I had was the trophies. Some are stupid and not really worth your time. The bonus game is a 70 like 30 dislike. I'm not a trophy person and it's my minor pet peeve. The sounds great as well as the music, the story and everything. But if i were you I would disable the showing of the trophies for this one.

pretty fun game
Have good voice over and music is good. The graphics are also good. Not that hard to play and has a good flow.
HOG are different and fun. Puzzles are also not that hard and makes it fun.
The hint button tell you what to do and where to go. For me that is a little more info than needed but that is better than no hints.
Different and fun.

Another awesome DK game!
I owe every title of DK game and this one I bought without trying the demo. The game, as usual excels in music, graphic and story. There is less number of puzzles, which makes me so happy. BZ is so well known to me for creating lots of puzzles in their games but this time it's moderate. Not too many, which is great. Can't wait to see the next game of DK novel!!

007-ish Hidden Object game
First time to play this game..
A good mixture of typical and unique hidden object games (like that sardines can that you have to open using that key-handle thing) with lots of other types of games along the way!
Picturesque scenes from the first chapter down to the last with cool atmospheric animations and ambience..
Cutscenes are super cool! with all the necessary animations and stuff..
I love the drama ... and that James Bond action/chase in the beginning...
Over all this game is really really good!!! makes me wanna buy the previous Dana Knightstone's!

Hauntingly beautiful...

DEVELOPER

GENRE
Adventure/Hidden Object
mystery
STORYLINE
You return in your role as Dana Knightstone, novelist and solver of romance mysteries. This time, you're called upon by your cousin, Sebastian, to investigate the enigma of a beautiful ghost of a musician. But you're not alone in your search to uncover the ghost's secrets! Your quest takes you to beautiful Austria.
GAMEPLAY
Your trusty journal holds your notes as well as clues you discover in your quest for the truth. To be honest, I became so engrossed in the game, I failed to notice the hint system and whether there was a map! This is more of an adventure game than a true HO game, in my opinion, as the HO scenes are so integrated into the storyline that they really seem a necessary part of the game, which is unusual. Some are of the list type, with a portion of the list requiring an extra step. Others are "find several objects that fit this category."
TECHNICAL
Hardly worth mentioning, but it is something that occurs in all Boomzap games?I have my trackpad set so that I don't have to press to click; I just have to tap. In the HO scenes and puzzles, the game doesn't recognize this; I actually have to press to click. No idea why.
GRAPHICS
The beautifully rendered 3D graphics are richly colored and captivating.
CUTSCENES
Sort of stop motion in style, but it doesn't detract from the story at all.
MUSIC
Haunting?really gorgeous.
SOUND
Both ambient and game sounds are appropriate and well done.
VOICEOVER
The voiceover acting is quite good, especially Dana's.
SUMMARY
Boomzap is one of my favorite developers, so I knew I'd enjoy this game. I'll definitely be adding it to my collection, but I'll probably wait for the SE (only because I have quite a few free game codes to use up). This one is worth it.
