Stunning Graphics, Perfect FROG
If you are a Dark Parables fan then Enchantia will blow your socks off. I love fragmented object games, and this one gets a (rare) perfect 5 from me. The graphics are beautiful and rich with great detail. I have to opt out of the custom cursor 'cause it slows my (Vista) OS down, but the cursor still changes to magnifying glass, etc.
The interactive map is beautiful and you need it to move around the different areas.
Items are used fairly quickly so you mostly don't have to remember 20 scenes ago.
Morphing objects are in this game:)
Bravo Blue Tea! I can't wait for Dark Parables: The Final Cinderella.
Btw, out of my 80+ games, this is my first CE purchase ever -and well worth it.

Awesome game!
Another wonderful game from Blue Tea Games. It has the usual , their signature FROG scenes. Quite few mini games puzzles. The story is unique and there are some actions. The voice overs are excellent. Love the songbirds, they look so cute. The bonus chapter is pretty long, there're 4 acts and 1 prologue, but the SG only shows 3 Acts. Overall I throughly enjoy this game. It was a good 5 hours gameplay..

Not everything is happy in fairy tale land
Review based upon completion of game plus bonus content.
This game is what you could expect from this developer. However, if you expect a happy end, or some holly-go-lightly and fluffy fairy tale fantasy you will be sorely disappointed.
The Good:
+ very well done graphics
+ great cut scenes
+ trademark "click everything out of place" FROG scenes
+ adult story
+ (hot!) adversary with comprehensible motive
The Neutral:
o not all locations on the map are actually used
o the trademark spider is small this time
o some puzzles really easy
The Bad:
- there is a decision in there to make that not everybody will like (I chose the wolves since they've been there longer)...
- ...and you can't get around it!
Bonus Content: The Bonus Chapter tells the happenings 500 years before the story and took me about 90 minutes to complete. As opposed to the main game the puzzles are harder and the game bombards you with items to use somewhere. A better distribution would have been nice. I had to use the hint a lot more often (the hint meter refills much slower since the morphing objects boost does not carry over to the bonus game).
The rest is the usual wallpapers, concept art and soundtrack that you click through in about 2 minutes and never touch again.
Bottom Line: Like I said above, if you are into "everything is happy, bright and shiny" you will not like this game. If you are into a graphics-fest with an adult story, definitely play this game. However, I would rather recommend the regular version, since the bonus content does not add much.

Buy it!
This game was stunningly beautiful! All FROG games and every item you find you use. Puzzles were just right for me but I don't like to spend loads of time on them and I never had to skip one. I didn't turn off the music -I usually do- and the voice-overs didn't make me cringe - and they usually do. As others have said, Blue Tea Games tends to turn out high quality material and this was no exception. This was a refreshing game that transported me to a peaceful, gorgeous realm for many hours of game play. I'm also partial to the sword and sorcery genre. The CE is well worth the extra money as it adds 3 more long chapters and some new rooms to the game.
If you like beautiful fantasy games this one is for you.

I can't stop playing...
There are so many fun twists & turns with this game, you're so excited to see where the different things you find goes, anticipating the next thing that hops out at you, you turn eager to figure out what's next. I'm wishing that after the games trial has ran out, you could place a "heart" or a "star" next to the game title to go back and purchase it at a later time. I'm a big fan of these type games....keep them coming and if you would, look into that suggestion. Thanks.

ENCHANTING
Truly enchanting, it goes by it's name!
I believe there's going to be a sequel to it ,it's obvious I have to explore more areas of this world!

Best Game Ever!!
Not only is this game incredibly beautiful (kudos to the artistic talents of the development team), but the story is really fascinating.
The game is quite long even before you get to the bonus play, which is also longer than any other I have played.
Setting a new standard for value and enjoyment, this game is simply spectacular. Heads up, you other developers!

Great Game
This is one of my favorite games so far. It has it all HOS that you build to use in the future and mini-puzzles that are new and different. The guide, hint key and compass are all helpful if you get stuck. There is bonus play also.

A Glorious Adventure
Congratulations Blue Tea you did it again ! What a wonderful game . Stunning,lush graphics, such detail. Excellent storyline played out in 12 brilliant locations accessible by easy to use compass. Superb music and clear voice overs. Whats not to like ? Well the reverse HOB (or FROGS) get a bit repetitive and crowded but hey the Bonus chapter is almost a full length game in itself. I loved it !
