“Recent user voice shows a mixed sentiment. Users appreciate engaging story and atmosphere and hidden object gameplay, but report technical bugs and freezing and excessive hidden object puzzles.”
What Users Love
Great story line, the character interact interestingly, awesome locations
Beautiful graphics, engaging story
Just enough hidden object puzzles. The best I've played.
The scenes are beautiful and intriguing, and are filled with numerous hidden-object games
Pain Points
Every time I went to a HO puzzle the game would become unresponsive.
It locked up when I clicked on the 'Angel head' and I had to 'Force quit'.
The second half of the game had just TOO many HO puzzles.
It's like you can't walk from one place to another without a new HO puzzle showing up.
