Dark Parables - goldilocks is just right
Dracyy
Dark Parables my favorite series is back! Each twisted take on a fairy tale plays as a stand alone but each is rich in color, flavor and plot twists! Unique puzzles, map, collect well hidden snowflakes in every scene and keep your eyes open for morphing parable tokens for more stories! Verdict: play!
Here we go again!

Another game with a glitch! So fed up with paying and then having so many problems with these games! In the scene where you are to place five statues in correct spaces, there are only four statues! So, now no way to finish the game because of this! Anyone know how to contact Big Fish for refund? I'm still waiting for the update on the last game that was un-playable! Verdict....DON'T BUY THIS GAME!
Well color me gold!

Heads-up: Artifex Mundi just released Lost Grimoires; on sale for limited time at $2.99 with free trial! After finishing this game, bumping my review from 3.5 stars to 4 stars. Interesting mix of Goldilocks and King Midas story - it kept my interest and I thought Eipix did a decent job of keeping with the same look and feel of the Blue Tea original games (although puzzles are easier and thankfully they provide a transportable map which shows active areas, unlike Blue Tea). Collectible snowflakes in each scene (my only complaint is that some were hidden in extremely dark areas of the scene). Morphing parable tale icons to find in some (not all) of the scenes. No custom mode of play unfortunately (typical Eipix). Exiting to the strategy guide doesn't make you restart the game. No glitches and I didn't notice any rats/mice. Enjoy! Upcoming Games from Big Fish Games: Ominous Objects: Trail of Time (3.5 stars, Daily Magic, Dec '15) Midnight Calling: Jeronimo (4.1 stars, Elephant Games, Jun. '16) Secrets of the Dark: Flower of Shadow (2.9 stars, Orneon, July '14) Secret Order: Buried Kingdom (4.4 stars, Sunward Games, May '16) Hidden Expedition: Fountain of Youth (4.3 stars, Eipix, Jan. '16) Sea of Lies: Beneath the Surface (3.6 stars, Eipix, Feb. '16)
Goldilocks Sure Caught This Falling Star!

Artifex Mundi released "Lost Grimoires: Stolen Kingdom" for a reduced price of $2.99. I left a review; it's worth the attention. I did not anticipate any enthusiasm about this game since I'm typically not a fan of this series; however, the story rather does retain my attention. You are a fairy detective, who embarks on a spellbinding adventure to help save an imperiled kingdom from menacing adversaries while being confronted with hazardous obstacles that threaten to thwart your every effort; namely, engaging in battle with hostile, mechanical beasts with distinct appearances and structures. The graphics are portrayed with a granulated or breadcrumb-like quality, which illustrates an inferior and deficient craftsmanship. Depending on the scene, some colors are bright and lively; others are shadowy and foreboding. Customized settings are not offered; this hindrance impedes player usability and negatively affects gratification. Consequently, certain key elements are adversely affected, such as the map; in "second" or "hard" mode, you are not gifted with the coveted "action available" indications. As I've reluctantly said more than once in the past, you might find yourself vacillating between modes in order to discover a task to perform. Inventory is labeled, interactive, and puzzle-like; items require assembly. The HOS are platitudinous as they are absent of any trace of variation and originality; there are no trend-setting elements to individualize them from more ordinary formats. Fortunately, the puzzles demonstrate more pizzazz; one type is the infamous storybook setting where you interact with objects in sequences to complete the story. The collectibles are well-camouflaged and vary in size and appearance; thankfully, there is an indicator to help determine when you've collected one. Transition is fleeting; no lapses or lagging. This latest installment keeps you very busy with a multitude of areas to explore within each location. Even with the elimination of some core components, I still thought that the lengthy playtime, appealing puzzles, and an enthralling story made up for any deficit. Four stars this time.

Thanx for the heads-up, Izzyoc! Looks like this might be fun. I also thank KimTwilght as well for mentioning Lost Grimoires; it was a fun little gem of a game. I have not made any further headway with BigFish over the Puppet Show nightmare, and ERS doesn't seem to be in a hurry to issue an update. Any ideas, DTE!? Especially Dracyy; you helped us all to play Orb of Purity before those dummies updated it! On to the game. I am not a huge fan of this series, and the last couple of them were awful. This one, however was definitely more like the older Parables by Blue Tea, with the EIPIX advantage of the teleport map. You cannot customize your settings but there are 3 levels of difficulty. The graphics were magnificent, and when you applied inventory and magical occurrences transmogrified, it was exciting. The game was a decent length with the bonus adventure. At each location you collect a cleverly-hidden snowflake, and also at certain locations you must also collect a morphing object, which then adds to your Parables. Unfortunately there is no journal, as EIPIX doesn't seem to EVER do them, although we keep asking them! Also you can tell that the developer's first language is not English, but it is still very understandable. At least objectives were regularly updated. Inventory was labeled and there were complex items to assemble. There was an excellent teleport map (marked if so chosen) to transport you. The HO scenes had no variation at all; they are all fragmented. However it is interesting to watch an item meld from 3 separate entities into one! I didn't really care for the puzzles and mini-games; they were not original and consisted of boring rotational stuff. Come on EIPIX! Give us something else for a change. I enjoyed the storyline and watching the magic occur! The game flowed well and ran smoothly. I am deducting a star for lack of a cohesive journal, no variety in the HO scenes, the boring puzzles and for not giving us incredible wallpapers. At least I am only deducting one star! And of course you score points for not inflicting RATS on us! BigFish, I am not done with you! When will ERS update/fix Puppet Show? Enough is enough! Lynxie sends lots of ?❤️? to the tireless and brilliant Dream Team Elite! You guys are the best! Please keep bugging BigFish to fix Puppet Show! Thanx, everybody! Happy Thanksgiving, reviewers!
