My first Adventure game!!
I always play Hidden Object games and this game looked interesting so I tried the demo. I really liked it. Lots of things to do and puzzles to solve. Interesting story line and it keeps you interested all the time. One thing is, you have to collect these "eyeball" things which kinda creeps me out, but I just click on them and don't look at them. You have a little "helper" creature that is sure cute but I can't tell what he is. Some sort of furry little gremlin. The graphics are very well done and sound/voices/music is good. I am going to purchase this game and I know I will enjoy it. Hope you do too!!

0ne of the best games ever
Wonderful story line with absolutely NO HOS!!! Just an amazing example of an adventure story done well. Was so sad that I finished it, I actually watched the credits scroll.
I wish that launching devs would make a distinction between HOS games and pure adventure games like this one, because I much prefer not rummaging through junk piles for an item.
This game has everything: small incidental objects to find for fun, no backtracking, no need for map, challenging puzzles, optional inventory lock, different levels of play, a story that made sense, no need for time wasting HOS piles that pull you out of the adventure, wonderful graphics, voice overs, great cut-scenes, cute sidekick "semi-helper", and an SE price for a product that far surpasses most CE games. And as of today, there is even a walkthrough for those who really need one.
Want more like this one PLEASE

Big Fish Should Have Offered The Premium Edition!
I really liked this game. It's a pure adventure game that plays like a HOPA, without the HOS... which I really enjoyed because I prefer the adventure aspect of the games offered by Big Fish. It wasn't an especially hard game (I played using "regular" mode), but it WAS a lot of fun!
There are collectibles to gather. There are achievements to earn... even for using the hint button five and ten times respectively (you have to drag the items in your inventory onto the hint button in order to get those two achievements).
The BIG disappointment is the fact that Big Fish didn't offer the "Premium" (Collectors) Edition of this game... because it is available (I got my premium edition from another game site).
It's a shame because there are two achievements that can't be earned in the SE. It was also a bit frustrating to find out that a Collectors Edition of this game was available AFTER I had already completed the SE.
So Big Fish kind of dropped the ball on this one.
In spite of that fact, the SE is outstanding. I was, in fact, quite surprised because I didn't expect the game to be so entertaining... which is why I "purchased" it as a free game.
It's money well spent (if you like adventure games and want to take time out for a casual game experience).

just a good adventure
Played 30 min and will buy. A good game. No HOS but a good adventure. You have 106 devices to find thru-out the game. Just a fun game. Music and graphics are good. I did need the hint button and it works great. Give it a try and will will be hooked.

Very Impressed
Considering that this game was just your average run of the mill $6.99 game (but got it for free) made it that much better. It was fun, story line was decent and loved looking for the little bugs. Gave it 5 stars because I got it free and I would've paid if I had had to .

Exciting Dream world!!
Based on completed game.
Best puzzle/adventure game I've played in a long time!!
There were no hidden object scenes (which I usually don't like anyway unless they're very interactive#, but the entire game played like a HO scene as you'll collect pieces of the stolen dreamcatcher thruout the game.
-- Also, there are over 100 "beyonders" to find thru out the game which look like eyeballs and turn into spiders, flies or worm looking things when you click them #I love searching each scene for stuff like that#.
--The scenes reminded me of the "Drawn" series of games with similar graphics and colorful, beautiful areas to explore.
I loved the being in the different dream scenes and some #like the snakes, roller coaster, etc...) were very real nightmares for me.
Great storyline and ended well but definately be waiting on a sequel!
There were about 12 chapters and took me about 2 days of casual on and off game play.
VERY enjoyable!!! Can't wait for the next dream!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game!
This game was good, really good! I know there are complaints about it's length but for an SE it was perfect. I am glad it was offered as a SE. I get so many free game coupons but I have played everything I am interested in in CE so I do not get to use the coupons. Thanks BF!
