Once again, this developer has given us a 5 star masterpiece! Kudos, 5-BN! We all wish you would perform one other task and be way more prolific with the games. Personally I would love to see at least one per week. Believe me, gamers would pay well for more games, because you are the ONLY developer who gives us EVERYTHING we want in a game! Thank you KimTwilight for a great review but unfortunately also TMI; you inadvertently spoiled the end of the game for us! I write fairly detailed reviews but I try very hard not to ruin a game for anyone. I won't detail every feature as Kim has already done so but I will touch on many points which set this game apart from the games of other developers. We were given a detailed and cohesive journal, an important and impressive item rarely seen in games by other developers, although we complain in our reviews and beg for them. They never seem to care or listen. The strategy guide is built-in to the game menu; no need to surf the web for a walk through. There is a back button, so you can't accidentally back-tap to your last location. The cutscenes are3D, and I felt like I was along for the ride. The teleport map is very detailed, with separate "pages" for destinations. Depending on your mode of play, available actions are shown, as well as collectibles and morphing objects. The map of course has instantaneous transportation between locations. Inventory usage is incredibly easy. You do not have to DRAG the item to where you want to use it. You simply click the inventory item, tap the area where you want to use it and voila, the action is effectuated! No touch screen sensitivity, no problems, no glitches. There is extremely smooth gameplay, because this developer has amazing quality assurance! Inventory usage is quite logical as well. (Pay attention, EIPIX!) In addition, this game has a variety of HO scenes, for the first time by Five-BN. We asked and they listened. Of course the majority of them are finding the silhouette, and using one object to unlock another. There are micro puzzles embedded as well. For those who don't love the HO scenes, these are more like puzzles. There is an amazing amount of variation in tasks. I won't go into detail. Play and you will understand! This game doesn't diminish the battery power on your tablet quickly, always a plus. I wasn't sure if I would be up to playing a game that has a post-Apocalyptic theme after undergoing the wrath of Hurricane Irma, but this game has at least taken my mind off the devastation temporarily, and for that I am very grateful! Well done and amazing game! Lynxie sends ??❤️???? to all. I know you will enjoy this fantastic voyage. Note to my beloved Snooper: I know you are not reviewing but I hope you are playing and I hope you are doing well, my friend! I miss you so much! I will probably be bullied but I don't care; I just needed to wish you well. Pixiepuppy has been amazing to me!

I Will Surely "Remember" This "Flaming Hot" Masterpiece!

Review updated September 19, 2017: This storyline picks up where its predecessor left off, and it is just as intriguing and full of action-packed adventure as the original game was. Early on, you are given a synopsis of the backstory of the previous game; so you can play this one as a "stand-alone." The storyline takes place during a time frame of post-apocalyptic events in which a dark force wreaked catastrophic destruction on mankind. Most of society, outside of your own unharmed vicinity, has been decimated by the ensuing impacts and consequences, such as pollution, wars, etc. The settings effectively represent an authentic portrayal of a post-apocalyptic environment, detailed as follows: decrepit cities that are devoid of most signs of life, completely engulfed by overgrown weeds and crumbling buildings; dry and barren deserts, containing scarce growth of flora and ravenous vultures flying around in the sky; and a mystifying temple, veiled by the desolateness and harsh bitterness of the highly elevated snowy mountains. The character build-up is compelling, with dramatic reactions during times of stress and predicaments. You meet an interesting and diverse cast of characters from distinguished places that you visit. The graphics are satisfactorily clear; attention to the finely rendered details is visually noticeable. The cut-scenes are sophisticated in both presentation and the mechanical execution--smooth and flawless transition. You can customize your settings; I'm thrilled that an option for the map is included to show the locations in which morphing objects and collectibles are available to pick up. The inventory is labeled, interactive, and puzzle-like; items require assembly. I love the "tap and click" method in place of dragging over items. The teleport map facilitates brisk travel to labeled locations and indicates available actions. See custom settings for more info about the map. This is the only developer that spoils us with a journal to thoroughly chronicle the storyline, and I love it! After a prolonged break, I can go back and refresh my memory. Furthermore, you can access additional features, such as the collections, under the Menu. Transition between scenes is fluid and quick; as expected, all technical aspects are flawless. Thank goodness for the back button! Finally, this developer has introduced some other forms of interactive HOSs; but I'm pleased that they kept their original type as well. The puzzles are varied and entertaining, and some cleverly suit the storyline. The collectibles are challenging to discover since they blend well into the background; one of their "hallmark" collectibles is informative in nature. This developer has the knack of immersing a player into the storyline and helping one feel more connected to the characters; sometimes I feel like I am watching a movie in the cinema. The free trial is generously lengthy enough for one to determine whether or not he/she would want to purchase it. After articulating the positive components, I do have two quibbles, even though I did not deduct any stars for them: 1. Gameplay is too simplistic and follows the old-school template of traversing through the locations to solely find and use items until one comes across a puzzle or an HOS. In the future, I would like see some more innovative concepts incorporated into the main gameplay. I do love the fact that some of the HOSs include puzzle-like elements to spice them up a bit. 2. I was surprised at the abruptness of the conclusion of the main game. It's all over without any narrative explanation of the protagonists' thoughts. It's a good thing that I had already found all of the collectibles because one cannot return to the scenes in which you missed any. Having said that, I immensely enjoyed this game! Total playtime does seem long, with a vast amount of locations to explore. It's the usual 5 stars!

BN-5 Games are the Best!

All of their games are fun, original, Great stories and great graphics. I only wish they would make more of them. It’s awful to go from playing their games to playing the best games from Big Fish. But when no new games are out, we have only BF. Please, write some more games!

Namaste to All

I always enjoy Fivebn games! I wish this company would release more games in the US, more frequently. I try to save these games as the “other” games are starting to be trashy! The stories are captivating and pull you in as if you right there in the middle! Puzzles are thought provoking and not just gimmies! There’s a New release out there now, but when I go to download, it gives me a message: “Not available in the US” BUMMER!
