completed game... highly recommended for those who love a challenge!
finally!!
a game that actually *challenges* me to think! i LOVE that type of game and will buy every one i can get my hands on!
there are no VOs, but that is not a deal-breaker for me. the graphics are quite good, the storyline reasonable... but the puzzles! oh, the puzzles! i LOVE them! some were *very* difficult and made me think for once!
i also love the fact that this is more of an adventure game and light on the HOSs! i do not want HOS after HOS in my games and this one has a good mix.
i do wish that the free trial included getting to the castle, because, imho, that's where the game really starts! and, the length is *excellent*! there are many doors in the castle to open so it took me quite a while (probably about 8 hours total... i didn't skip even one puzzle or go to the forums for help!) to get to the end.
all in all, my kind of game!
good job, devs! if you make another one like this, i guarantee you i will buy it!

Really good use of a free credit!
I agree with the other reviewers that found this an excellent use of a free credit. And luckily I have one too!
The art work is beautiful, the ship intriguing, the HOS, varied and not too dark, and the puzzles hard enough to make you think. There are the usual bunches of things to find in various places as you explore.
I think the story line promises much, but as I've only done the trial so far, I am going to find that out next.
Much like the other "Timeless" game, you are on a trip that turns into a surreal otherwhere adventure. This time you are trying to help a little girl imprisoned on a flying ship of large enough proportions to have an airplane as the "lifeboat."
I found this more challenging than several of the recent new games, but not yet frustrating. I'm going to get to that too, I suspect.
Give the trial a look and see if this one is your freebie too!

A good adventure
I played a game 2 years ago with simiar characters and really enjoyed it .After 10 minutes of playing this I have decided to buy . It has more of a feel of an old aventure game than endless ho's On board an airship trying to help a young girl who is a prisoner somewhere its a strange mix of science fiction and girl in danger in fact the only problem I had was the Ho's when I couldn't find 2 objects and I found the recharge button took forever. I left playing to write this and to ask when people write a review please say if they recommed it or not and why .not just what the game consists of!

I'm Sold
This was a really nice game. I enjoyed it. Nice graphics and characters. Lots to do. I did not get bored. The puzzles were a nice challenge. The HO's were nice. The music did not drive me insane. Going to get this one now.

Timeless: The Lost Castle
At first, I thought that I would give up on the game, BUT I persisted. The game is really great. The graphics are excellent. The story is wonderful. Not having a "strategy guide", I used the "Forum" to assist me when I hit a blank wall. Little by little, I became more immersed in the game and found what I needed to move to another part.
The game is really challenging. The puzzles are wonderful. For anyone who wants to spend lots of time working to get to the end of the game, I highly recommend it. I successfully completed the game! Hooray!!!!

Timeless: The Lost Castle
this game is very interesting and it makes you connect with the young child in hopes of freeing her. The graphics are excellent not too dark and very clear. This has moments when you must really think in order to figure out the next right step to take and there are places where you can get very confused. Over all this is an enjoyable and very playable game. It also has three game levels that a player may select to make it easier or more challenging.

Love it
I just kept going and going, til I finished. Just when you think you are going to end, a new part starts. It seemed unlimitless. Greal

Such a good game! May i have more, please?
The time between really good games - even if it's only a week or 2 - really seems to drag for this game addict, but Timeless: The Lost Castle was really worth the wait. This is right up my alley, being mostly adventure play, with a just few HOscenes thrown in. So expect slower, more deliberate movement, seeking, & implementing your found items & discovered info than you would with games that are more hidden object based. This isn't a hand holder, so the gray matter's gonna be occupied and, I hope, thanking you for it. 3 modes of play allow for a good range of challenge; i played expert & was really happy with it. Graphics are very good. Music kept low in the background enhances rather than overrides the experience. There are essentially no voiceovers, but rather written character lines, & altho' i prefer vo's, this game is none the worse for lack of them. There's no map either, & personally i like it that way. The journal is not only valuable thru your adventure, but it's kinda cool looking ... ok, that doesn't matter, but i liked it lol. Puzzles there are, & most are pretty darn good. I gotta give credit to this dev for the way the storyline & gameplay are so well integrated; everywhere you go, everything you do - & there's a LOT to do - is obviously & directly related to the the developing storyline & it's goals. Man, i just love when that happens! And the whole thing ran smooth as silk, glitch-free, thus frustration-free. There's a whole lot of really fun, game-junkie play time here, folks; i was at it for hours, completely immersed, intrigued, & happy as a kid in a candy store. It's a SE, worth the price of a CE imho. I recommend at least giving this one a demo, & hope you enjoy it as much as i did. Kudos to the devs for such a great piece of work. Have fun gaming, folks!

A Surprising Game
This is a long long game that takes you to many locations. The graphics were not quite crisp, so I deducted a star for that.
Appropriate music to enhance the game.
You have to think about how to use inventory items.
The HO'S were varied types and interactive.
A lot of puzzles as well as different ones.
Your journal is a key part of the game. It will keep you on track.
The hint button helps but won't tell you exactly how to do something.
I played in casual and the skip button fills fast.
I really enjoyed this game. It's a bit different and kudos to the developers.
This is a purchase you won't regret.
