THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY CE - BUY IT, PLAY IT!
Please take time to review ratings from longstanding BF Gamers. I did and found this fantastically constructed game.
It has all the elements you could wish for. Smooth game play, a great story, enticing music and great game length. The puzzles are challenging BUT not impossible. The pace is relaxing but at the same time additive - you want to know what happens.
The Bonus section is full of surprises.

Fantastic Game With Best Bonus Material Ever!!!
I enjoyed this game so much that I had to write a small review on my playing experience.
I had no intention of getting this game, especially as a CE until I demo'd it and it immediately grabbed me. I do agree that the playing is on the easy side but I actually enjoyed easier HOS's which allowed me to get back to the actual play quicker. No racking your brain to find objects. The story was involved and kept my interest throughout, not only the actual game, but also in the BC. I'm not one to jump onto CE's but this is definately one CE I am so happy I purchased. The BC was so good and for once the extra's made the game worth the extra price. Hopefully other developers will jump on board and start making bonus chapters "actually worth the extra cost"!
I highly recommend the CE version of this game!
Happy Gaming to all.

Demo only
When hearing the word "chimera", I think of a creature that is part one fantasy animal and part another, but didn't see any up to the part of the game I completed. Yet the fantasy creatures were beautifully done with the characteristics expected. Visually the art work was stunning and crisp and clear, and the cut scenes were very well done. The music was loud until I turned it down and it was more tolerable at a much lower level. The hos were actually quite easy, with the items large and visible. The mini games were also fun, yet also on the easy side. The strategy guide was informative and the map quite nice. The "lost pets" were cute and Terrance the phoenix was adorable. The cursed cards were also quite interesting and helped the story along as you collected them. Each "evil" creature matched the personality of the "character" they were attacking. The storyline was well done and thoroughly enjoyed this demo. Will probably purchase today as I can also get free punch. It is pure fantasy/fairytale and it may not be for everyone, but I recommend this game.

Hidden Object, Puzzle, Adventure Game
This hidden object game has wonderful graphics, voice-overs and music. You can turn off the voice. A Map that lets you teleport, and that clearly tells you where you have tasks to do. If you move your cursor over an area on the map, you see a picture of the scene and a list of objectives for that scene. Very good strategy guide. I did not see a journal. Collectables, which include your helper, a baby phoenix that can pick up objects out of fires, and it can light candles, torches, etc. You also collect cursed cards and "Lost Pets" from "Beyond" (another dimension).
Played in casual mode, this game is very easy. There are a LOT of hidden object scenes. There are also puzzles, objects to find, and things to assemble.

Chimeras Tune of Revenge perfect game
this is yet another success for Elephant games, good graphics , plenty for you to do in this game.
Collect animals that appear in some scenes, collect the cards. The interactive Ho's are great, I have not found any difficulty with them or the puzzles, You get a blazing Pheonix
he helps you with some recovery of items. you have to stop the organ grinder from destroying the entire city, I find his voice excellent to listen to, sounds like a real Londoner,
yes I think great game for everyone thankyou Elephant games .

Enjoyable Game (Based on whole game)
As usual these developers make a good/great game.
Good stuff
1--graphics cut scenes are excellent
2--graphics are not too dark and very colorful (which I prefer)
3--collection of lost animals (some do morph in and out)
4--collectible cards which you do need at the end
5--HOS cluttered but able to find items also interactives
6--interactive map with transporter capabilities (beam me up Scotty) also shows tasks
7--7 chapters plus bonus game which is a good length
8--hint system helps beyond usual
9--3 modes of playing to choose from
Not so good
1--voice of narrator was a bit grating and didn't really suit the character's alter ego
2--most characters dressed in period outfits except a few which were more up-to-date dressed, developers should be consistent it is very annoying when items in the games do not match the time periods.
All in all a good game, especially to play during bad weather

Love these stories
Even though I found the HOs easy and the puzzles fairly simple, which makes me happy because I don't care for the puzzles, I really liked this game. The scenes are beautifully done, enjoyed the story and voice overs, and the interactive map. I would probably buy this one just because of the story but am interested in the length of the game before I did so. I wish all games from BF were fairy tale like, but then it would be hard for me to decide which to buy. Bring more of these type games our way, even if it would put me in the poor house.

Revenge In The Best Way!!!
I played the hour demo which I finished in 45 min. The game is very interesting to me. You have 3 game modes to choose from. The grafics are excellant and the music was not annoying to me. The HOS were clear and not to difficult. The mini games were fun but not so hard that you would want to pull your hair out.They give you a map to follow and the hint button loads very fast and also will help you when you get stuck. The story starts with and organ grinder that sold some tarot cards for a penny. The first man died by fire and the second one almost dies at the hand of Medusa. Yes, I said Medusa so I,m sure there will be alot of mythical creatures in this game. Just a guess. They give you this little gold bird and he blows fire but he,s there to help you complete certain tasks. I think it,s an excellant game!! I will not tell the complete storyline as it will take the fun out of the game.If you like solving mysteries with a twist of mythilogical creatures then this is the game for you. I will be buying this game. Happy gaming fishies........

Everything About This Game Stood Out- By Far The Best Game Of 2013!
I'd been following this game for MONTHS. I'd read teaser after teaser on Elephant's FB page, and was delighted when I finally got the chance to play it. What did I get? A brilliant adventure. The demo stopped at 1/2 an hour, but I absolutely 100% plan to buy.
Good Parts:
Evil storyline, the best one yet. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end of the demo. Can't wait to buy this and finish it. The Organ Grinder is voiced perfectly, and the cards that you pick up through the game just add to the brilliance of the story. The cutscenes are brilliant and are extremely well done. I am full of praise.
HOS were great; they were interactive, including one item (marked in blue# that required an extra step to complete.
Graphics are amazing. Flawless, just brilliant. Artwork is amazing, animation is great.
Hint and skip are quick to recharge and the hint is very useful
Strategy guide is useful.
There was a "lost pets" thing that I'm guessing is exclusive to the CE, which I really liked.
The little pheonix that you acquire early in the game was great fun and very helpful.
Map allows you to jump between locations and saves you a lot of time.
OK Parts:
Puzzles. Some were ok, I had a crack at them but couldn't finish them. Had to use skip for all.
There was a bit of backtracking; for example, I would find something outside of the Monster House which would need to be used a lot further back.
Bad Parts:
I've got nothing bad to say about this game save for 2 things
#a# the demo is WAY too short at 30 minutes.
#b# There was one minor incident in which my game terminated, but I was able to get it back up and running with no further problems.
Brilliant, jaw-dropping and flawless are just a few of the words I would use to describe this wonderful game. I will most certainly be getting out the credit card to buy; Elephant Games have done it once again, and if I dare say, this is my new favourite!
