Although this wasn’t the most innovative game from Mad Head, it was the first in a new series and I found it enjoyable and entertaining to play. The storyline held my interest. You could customize settings. The graphics were not the sharpest, but they were pleasing Art Deco era and I love games set during the 1920’s. There was a journal with clues and tasks. Inventory was labeled and interactive and there were complex items to assemble. We were provided with an in-game teleport map to transport us instantaneously between locations. Collectibles at each location was a swirl symbol. Morphing objects were confined to the HO scenes. Those scenes had variation but none were as unusual as we have seen in other games by this developer. There was a mix of puzzles/games. Some were rotational, others were codes, and still others were games of dexterity. Many were simplistic but I still enjoyed most of them. The gimmick in this game was an amulet, but I won’t go into details. At least with Mad Head you don’t have to drag and drop inventory; you click on the tool you want to use and the area where you want to use it and it works well! The game ran very smoothly. However it was a very short game even inclusive of the bonus adventure. I deducted a star for length and for inferior graphics. This was still a good solid game, especially at the sale price and I will be looking forward to the next one in this series!

Exemplary Game! Bravo!

Excellent variety of puzzles and HOPs. Beautiful scenery. Engrossing plot. Very responsive, interactive map. Morphing objects within the HOPs. Second chance to find missed collectibles! Symbol shows whether or not you have located a collectible (not shown on map). Believable voice and sound tracks. Extra super HOP in the Bonus section. Suggestion: please make the refresh rate faster than 15 seconds. Mad Hat is my favorite company. They always produce five star games! Big Fish - it is getting more and more difficult to write a review once the game is finished!

BEST!

Such originality. But the text is so very tiny, I must squint to read it. Not all players have 20/15 vision. Unless this one feature is improved, I won't be purchasing the full game. I do like to give developers a chance, so hopefully, this issue will be fixed.

Great Game

Great fun.

The story is sensible and easy-ish to follow. The graphics are good. The puzzles are - for the most part - easy to figure out, not necessarily to solve. The HOs are good and varied. I don’t use the map much, so I can’t say if it works. But everything else in the game (I’m almost done) is glitch free. Which is saying something since I couldn’t even enter my name into a game recently. When did quantity, not quality, become the goal with these games? Oh, I bought this game on sale and suggest you do likewise.

REALLY enjoyed it!!

I enjoyed this game from start to finish. The music was great, the story was interesting. I had no technical problems, no crashes. HOP scenes were fun. When done, I was able to go back and play them again, and also a mega HOP bonus. I would have liked to play some of the puzzles again, but most were not available after you finished the game. I also liked that once I finished, it told me that I had missed one artifact (blast!), but it showed me what scene it was in, and I had a 2nd chance to find it. I will play this one again, and I look forward to more in this series.
