Kidnapper on the loose
This game has very good 3D graphics and and has a very good storyline. The only complaint I have in the demo is with the HO scenes. There were some items that were impossible to find. hidden in the dark or vague names like pin is actually a clothespin. The characters are well done and the puzzles simple. I will probably buy just to figure out the identity of the kidnapper.

Good Storyline . . . Lots of Hidden Object Scenes!
Sometimes, I just want to play a HO game with a decent storyline. This is one of those games. I played the full demo and didn't realize the time was up, and I was still in chapter 1!. There are 3 chapters in total.
Three game modes, HO scenes with interaction. Mini-games that are different, yet not difficult.
A journal with an interactive map that lets you jump to scenes with something to do.
The length of the game might be about 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
Looking for a relaxing HO games, give this one a try.
A generous skip button that also will direct you to an area of interest of you get lost in the game.
I liked the HO scenes, though at times, objects may be difficult to see.
Sound, I can't comment on since I usually turn it off.

Top-Notch Mystery
This game was very entertaining. There were 5-6 HOS in the first hour alone which was delightful. The characters were fun and full of personality. The graphics and storyline were captivating and interesting to look at. There were many interactive elements. I was really pulled into the game and forgot about the real world for an entire hour.
5 Stars!

TRY it! You'll like it!
I haven't really gone very far in this game, but I'm so taken with it I just had to say: It's different! Like large file adventure games, but the characters are 3D in their movements too. It has a sense of movement that static interfaces just don't have.
The speech is a little awkward visually, but it's ok if you have the sound on.
Cursor movement seems a little draggy, but this is just my little laptop, I hope.
Fairly easy to play with nothing extraordinary in the gameplay, but fun! You just have to try it out and see for yourself.
BTW if any more games include the expression "I better (do something)" instead of "I'd better", or any other horrible translations, you might be able to hear my scream where you are. Please Devs, don't massacre the language!

Not so good.
If you like going to HOS to HOS then this is your game. Graphs were fine , music was fine but ease up on the HOS's. When are the makers of these programs going to wise up and have two or three HOS and lets fine the items we need within the game.

3 stars
sort've enjoyed the game - not hard - smooth progress - a relaxing game with plenty of HOS, which i like...the big "but" is because the game is so short...as in very short. maybe the shortest HOG i've ever played..and the ending was flat.

ho hummmmm
Slow moving, story line is good, graphics are okay, but way too many HOGs. I think I actually would have bought it, if there hadn't been so many. It made me lose sight of what the story was actually about. It crashed on me mid way too, which didn't help.

The Torment of HO's
This Game is a pure HO with a little bit of Adventure in it.
The story is OK, but who wants to be thrown out of it every two seconds to sit with a junk pile.
I am never going to buy another game from this developer
it was a waste of money.

Good but not perfect
First, there are lots of HOS's if you love those as much as I do. The characters were good, the storyline was good, and it progressed well. I liked the fact that when I was done with an area, it let me know I was finished.
The negatives? A little short, the graphics were nice but some of the characters' speech made me smile. They were a little on the goofy side. Pin was sometimes a safety pin and others times a clothespin. A shawl was a handkerchief.

short but sweet
based on demo: i played on hard and enjoyed it. good story line, journal and jump map. it's not a challenging game and judging from the walk through, about 3 hours in length - for me and i take my time to enjoy it all. i won't be buying it due to the length but if it comes on sale i will.
