Friendly Fox, you’ve done it again! It’s been over a year since my last review and I was inspired enough during the second scene in this game to write this. If you love this HOG it’s very likely because it reminds you of the HOGs from 15 years ago. The story line, the quality graphics, the joy of the hidden object scenes. Thank you for reinvigorating a hobby I forgot I loved so much.

This is a cute game—but it’s not my favorite. There’s nothing really negative to say about it; it just didn’t “wow” me. As compared to the last game and to many others, this one felt a little outdated. I didn’t find the storyline to be particularly exciting. Most of the hidden-object scenes are composed of the old-school format: word lists with minimal interaction. Some will flesh out the backstory in a storybook fashion. However, in my opinion, the puzzles are the stars of the game. They are diverse and entertaining, and they are integrated into the storyline since some will solve a predicament. They can be challenging at times, which I appreciate. And, as always, you can depend on this developer to experience seamless and glitch-free gameplay. That being said, it was still an enjoyable way to pass some time.

This game has a similar feel to some of the older games, but that does not detract in the least from the wonderful game play. It also has some rather challenging mini games, which I appreciate, and overall another winner for Friendly Fox. Please continue to provide quality games for those of us who love this genre.

You must save your sister from the clutches of the evil Valens family in this amazing little gem. There was going to be a gala ball at the castle, but now vines are enveloping everyone and everything. You must use a magical gadget (not saying another word) to stop this sinister family and save the guests as well as your sister. Or is she? The storyline is learned through diverse characters and magic books. In the bonus chapter, you learn of an interesting and incredible prophecy. Once again, my lips are sealed! I can tell you that the game is gorgeous, enjoyable to play and on the lengthy side. It was incredibly interactive, and will give your brain a workout, while using alchemy to create spells and potions. There was a terrific mix of HO scenes and mini-games, including one of my favorites, which was a maze! Oh, here’s a cryptic message for you: Don’t fall asleep. Now you’re going to have to find out exactly what I just mentioned.The game is another winner from Friendly Fox! Just purchase, play and enjoy this thrilling adventure!
