Add One More Star If You Like HOG Games
Story: You and your relative decide to go to a nature trip. The story starts at your home where you start packing things up. Then on the road a lightning storm happens (very similar to the one in Wizard of Oz :-)) and you are sent to a weird place. In the wild, you try to recover and find your find back to home. A little later, you are locked inside a cave and you must get out of there. After a while, the moment you think you managed to get out, the main girl character fells down the elevator, so this time you try to get back into the main to save her. When the main characters are joined back, the game ends.
Pros:
- Good hidden object game (that is why 4 stars if you like HOG)
- Some objects in some scenes are really hard to find.
Cons:
- Weird story (if you ask me)
- Very little puzzle & adventure factor
- No real voice from characters, everything is text based.
All in all, I bought the game when it was daily deal and would recommend for $2.99 but maybe not for the full price.

A fun & challenging adventure
The game offers a decent, detailed story, is fast moving, never boring...
graphics are attractive with many little special effects that show "love" from the devs.
Puzzles are good & varied & the adventure tasking elements are mostly logic-based.
Item searches are terrific: bubbles/circles open to show what we need to find--very slick--this game improves considerably on standard mechanic for this type of searching.
A long, funny, & fun game, definitely a good buy IMO.

Relaxing, Fun Game
OK....this is not for intermediate or experts who are looking for a challenge. If you want a game that's got an interesting story line and relaxing...This is it. This would would great for beginners and a game for the family. I played this after I finished Hallowed Legend: Knights Templar and this was just what I needed.

Very Boring
I admit that I couldn't even finish this game, that's how boring it was. I played it for about an hour and a half. There just wasn't anything exciting about it. The story is boring, the characters were boring, and the graphics are very mediocre. The game just had no personality at all.
The game play is simple enough. Find various objects so that you can complete a task or move on to the next part of the "adventure" (I use that word very loosely). But it just seems very mindless after awhile, since you know that once you complete one boring task, another one will pop up in its place. Eventually I just gave up because of the sheer, crushing sense of ennui I experienced while playing the game. Can't recommend.

Half a Game
I bought this game on the special for $2.99, it wasn't a bad game but it ends fairly abruptly, then says the adventure isn't over. So there will be another one coming up. This was an okay game for the price I paid, BUT I wouldn't be happy if I had paid full price for it. The graphics were sort of flat, and I flew through the game finishing it in just a few hours. This would be a good game for a younger gamer. But if you have played a game like 13 Skulls this would bore you to tears.

Good Value
I bought this for the 2.99 price..but it would have been a good value at regular price...I hope the sequel will be offered soon...I thought the graphics were great..pretty scenes...I found this to be of a good length...I enjoyed this game a lot more than I expected...nice surprise!

Could have been more challenging
I played the trial of this game, and it was really fun. The only thing keeping me from buying it is that if an item isn't found quickly enough, it's highlighted. Where's the challenge in that? If you don't mind being shown where items are, then I would recommend buying the game.

A very short HOG
The line of story is nice and the puzzles quite good. It isnt a very difficult game, but keeps you interested and when I started playing I didnt want to stop. I bought it for the price offered to the members of game club and didnt regret. The bad part is that the game ends rapidly. It is too short but, I hope to continue very soon, as it says the adventure will be continued. I surely recomend this game.
