This game could have had so much potentials. Great graphics, but...... Clues once you clicked on them you can't read them again. Hidden objects are hard to find and you have to do some actions that has no logic or had a clue given to them. If you are using a laptop (like me) you have the disadvantage of not having a mouse scroll to zoom in and out of the search areas. No voice over, no map no guide. Looks good, plays bad.
Bad interface, poor construction, the worst hidden object game I have played so far.
The only way I could complete much of the game was with the help of a you tube walk through.
Graphics were either miscolored or so small I couldn't see the objects using a high def 50 inch screen.
This game has the dubious pleasure of being one of the worst HOG:s I've played. Unlike another serious contender to the title, "Al Emmo's Postcards from Anozira", this game at least looks sorta good.
Except Sophia. Not sure what's up with her barely buttoned shirt and that ridiculous catsuit. But that's neither here nor there.
I actually quit playing midway through, because I ran into a bug where I didn't pick up a thing before triggering a trap - poisonous gas - which prevented me from going back and fetching said thing.
Since the game up to this point had been a pointless pixel hunt for things I seldom understood I needed from the actual told story, I saw no need to play through that first half again only to be rewarded with more nonsense. There are far better HOG:s to play.

TLDR: Tiny objects which needs in-game magnifying glass. Weak impact police thriller with superhero layer storyline. Hint system often bugs out and gives the run around.
While this hidden object has a decent enough production value for backgrounds, the music gets repetitive, and the puzzles, while alternating are neither creative or even sometimes really functional. The game does not drop a ton of useless objects onto a scene instead relying on small size for challenge. This quickly gets stale and the recipe gets replaced from words describing objects to be found to shapes of those objects, which again due to massive size differences makes the task next to impossible. The hint system is oddly slow to recharge even on easy. While not investigating a scene and instead simply navigating between scenes in the environment the game will start expecting you to pick things up. But the sequence in which you pick things up does not really mesh well with the objectives you might have encountered and it sometimes feels like the game is getting you to pick things for no reason. Additionally, it is next to impossible to tell what can be taken or not and the game starts flashing an additional hint halo on the next steps to take. This leads to the game playing itself where you just wait and click on blue shinies until you get some progression. Eventually the system gets a little bugged out and confused and gives me the run around.
In conclusion this is an unengaging story with poor puzzle design and a tired formula. Despite the few areas in which it does decently it does not really salvage the experience as an entertainment source and still falls somewhere between boredom and tedium.
Nope, this is just a very bad HOG.
Pixel hunting for scenery that you can interact with.
Bad UI, both with regards to the zoom gimmick in HO scenes and the storytelling/dialog.
This was a very unpleasant game to play. The puzzles are just kind of random. Sometimes it's a hidden object game, sometimes you have to click on everything and hope it does something. And you won't be told that's what you need to do. I really wrestled with getting a refund but muddled through it.
Yea no. I will say I never had the option of zooming in on a hidden object game. Other then that, no. I got stuck. Hit the hint button. Tells me to go to the next room. Hit the hint button. Tells me to go back 1 room. Hit it again. Nope go foward again. Repeat. This plus some non intuitive randomly searching around just irritated me before I could really get into it. Voice acting isn't great but I've heard worse. Games not for me. I can't in good conscious tell you to buy this unless it is really really discounted and even then it's a hard sell.
it freezes up constantly. and you can't play game ! the game is just full of bugs so to say. not worth the effert or money. won't let you click on objects either.
most challenging adventure / HOG I ever played . difficult but easy in parts too
Could not complete the game because I had done some of thing's in the wrong order (I think?). Is pretty sure it is a "glitch" 3/10
This is an okay HOG, the graphics are pretty decent for the genre and this helps make the HOG scenes much more fun to play that some others, although there is a zoom function provided which probably gives the hint that some items are very small on the screen, although that isn't overused - and most items are hidden in reasonably logical positions, rather than scattered around randomly in impossible or unlikely spots.
The point and click segments and the puzzles are okay, so overall as a game it flows fairly well, and it is usually obvious what you are looking for and what you need to do to progress. One issue I did find was sometimes the hint system fails you and just has you shuffling from room to room without actually helping you work out the next step, but usually it does work correctly, but it did lead me to use a walkthrough in one section where I couldn't work out what to do and the hint system broke down in this way.
In terms of the story and characters, the story starts out okay but does get a bit silly - it seems very much aimed to be like a B-movie, but some of the developments at later stages get pretty weird and out of place compared to the tone for the first half of the game. While Sophia herself is actually a little interesting as a character, most of the rest of the game is populated by very one dimensional cliches - the businesslike police boss, the rich playboy, etc.
Overall then a decent HOG with a few flaws, but also a bit different from the standard for the genre, with a decent if somewhat strange storyline.
A below average hidden object game. While visually okay, the puzzles are clunky and horrible. I managed to play and finish the game, but the story was horribly written and the music was terrible. Why would anyone pay $9.99 for this game? That is beyond me. I bought it on a major sale (like 75% I believe).
I got stuck several times and was pretty frustrated, though I did eventually beat this game. Don't waste your money on this one! It isn't even close to what Artifex Mundi comes out with.
Do not get! The story and characters are as flacid as over cooked pasta, gameplay is even worse. The only thing going for is that it has pretty pictures.
Possibly the worst hidden object game I have ever played. Sluggish and tedious. Don't touch it even if it is on sale
While the music is fitting to the story, I had an hard time to find what to do. The story is interesting but I feel that more should have been developped. The hidden objects scenes are good but some items are hard to see. Good thing is that you can zoom in or zoom out. And some voice actings could have been good too.
Anyway, I'm kinda frustrated by that game, despite the good visuals, the good plot and the music. I only recommend it for the hardcore HOG gamers. For the others, I recommend any Artifex Mundi game or the classics like Mystery P.I. (though it's pure HOG), Samantha Swift or Mystery Cases Files.
Graphics OK, Sound A Little Off The Beaten Track ...
With Great Characters & Story This Game Had The Promise Of Something Great ... Sadly It Was A Little Disjointed, No Voice Overs & The Hint System Was Awful ...
There Are Much Better Adventure/HOG's Out There With Far Better Production Values ...
I'm going to say this flat out. I do not recommend this game. Game mechanics were a bit iffy - the puzzles and hidden object scenes works just fine, but progressing was slightly difficult as it was hard to know what to do or what you could pick up. And while nobody over the age of thirteen plays hidden object games for their story, it was a bit dumb.
The biggest problem I had was with text. Or with the way the text was written. Considering that hidden object games rely massively on text for their stories, they should be well written with decent grammar. You will not find that here. I feel that this is mainly because this game was made in another country in a different language, then was translated into English. But the person translating English does not know English well enough to translate correctly - so often there are words that don't make sense (too literal or a phrase translated literally). And because of this, there are a few items in the hidden object scenes that were difficult to find because you aren't exactly sure what you are looking for ('pocket' for example was a purse type object).
So in conclusion - this game was a bit of a bore and a bit frustrating. The badly translated text was too distracting to derive enjoyment from it - detracting from the story. If you must, buy this in a bundle or on sale.
Terrible game. No voice acting, and it's riddled with spelling and grammar errors in the on-screen text. The game suffered game-breaking glitches making it unplayable twice; the first about 15% of the way through the game and I restarted with a new game. But the second glitch happened about 95% of the way through the game, depriving me of the ending and being able to finish the game. In general, the game was so bad there was no way I was going to restart it yet again. The plot wavers between cliched, nonsensical, and barely existent. And most of the gameplay involves the player trying to figure out what it is they're supposed to be doing as a result of bad gameplay design and clunky gameplay mechanisms. If you're looking for a decent hidden object game, go grab one by Artifex Mundi. I'm rating this game 1/10.
Did not like this game. Manueverability was clunky. Settings did not save upon exit. Backgrounds very difficult to see through and game instructions inadequate. Compared to similar games of this kind, I did not enjoy this one at all.
Not a game I would recommend. Choppy, not smooth GUI, and storyline is pretty linear. I understand it is a translated game, perhaps from France, but I couldn't help but feel like it was a shined up Sega Genesis title, just without the fun.
I did buy it on sale, and did finish it. I love puzzle games, but would recommend looking elsewhere for a good puzzler.
