Different kind of HOPA, one of the best
I really enjoyed it. I also liked the first one.
The scenes are all contained (don't have to spend too much time looking for them). The puzzles are better than the first (I love the stick drawings where you have to push buttons to 'tell' the story in the right order). The 'put the buttons' in the right hole mini game is boring though.
There are 2 "E" cards in each hidden object scene to find.
The hidden object scene is a reversed one. You have a list of items and you have to find out where in the scene it goes. I LOVE THIS - my favourite kind of hidden object scene.
It's a really good length. I am a bit bored with straight H O games now (overplayed them) and now looking for something different which this gives. This has NO standard hidden object scenes at all.
It's different, not hard.
CONS -
sparkles
The unique play for this game makes it one of my favourites in this genre.

Good Game with a twist on Hidden Objects
I guess the first thing I should say is that this is not really a hidden object game. It's more like "Replace the Objects" game.
You climb through granddad's timeless tower one floor at a time. On each floor you have to find about 9 different scenes from different periods in time, in which you are given pictures of objects and have to put them where they belong in the scene. I find this a nice and welcome chnage of pace from the traditional HOG.
While light on story, the game was interesting enough and I enjoyed playing it. I played the SE version. I was trying to find all the "E" cards, there are two in each scene, and they are really tiny and hard to find, so the game took me a while; 2-4 hours per day over a period of 3 days. I did resort to the walkthrough a few times when I couldn't find the 2nd "E" card. This game was much better than the original Enlightenus. Excellent graphics give you the feel of actually being in the tower, whereas in the original you felt you were looiking at rooms in a doll house.
There are also some items to be found outside the scenes, and some puzzles such as to unlock doors, none too difficult.
This is an adventure replace the object game. I recommend it,

Fun Hidden Object Game
I liked the game, it was a pleasant distraction, but sometimes felt a little bland, like something was missing.
The graphics were beautiful, & the music quite pleasant. I also, liked the twist on the hidden object scene of placing objects, rather than finding them. Things don't always go where you might assume, so quite fun at times.

Good job
For Originality and Creativity: Super! Very different from other hidden games I've played. It would however be a greater game experience if the settings were less scary.

Fun and Different
It you're like me and have gotten tired of traditional HIdden Object and Puzzle games, give this one a try. Very cleverly done and requires more creative thinking than just finding something that's hidden.
Not a lot of back-and-forthing, which is an additional plus. I liked everything about it.
