12/28/18 ADVENTURE GAMING COMPENDIUM, PART I: Gamers may want to try the following game developers & publishers in light of Big Fish selling out for casino money.? Artifex Mundi: started with Big Fish and now publishes its own HOAGs as well as HOAGs from game developers Brave Giant, Cordelia, House of Fables, Moonlight Interactive, Sunward Games, One More Level, So Digital, Two Desperadoes, and World-Loom Games. G5 Entertainment: similar to Big Fish. Publishes HOAGs from Artifex Mundi, Fenimen and Shaman Games, among others. Haiku Games: excellent free point and click adventure games, which include tons of minigames but not necessarily hidden object puzzles. Rumpus Animation: they publish the Bertram Fiddle series, which is very witty. Discover and use items as part of gameplay. Five-BN UK: terrific series such as Darkness and Flame, Lost Lands, The Legacy and my favorite, New York Mysteries. Absolutist: publishes its own HOAGs as well as HOAGs and adventure games from AZ-Art Studios, Lazy Turtle and Shaman Games, among others. I recommend the amusing Witch’s Pranks: Frog’s Fortune, although it is a little short. Pendulo Studios: known for the Journey Down, Runaway, Hollywood Monster and Yesterday adventure game series. Not aware of any HOAGs. Beware that one of the Runaway Games has a game-ending glitch (everyone comments on it so you will know before you purchase). Alawar: like Artifex Mundi, Alawar started with Big Fish then branched out on its own. Publishes its own HOAGs as well as adventure games from Tiki’s Lab and Wellore. I recommend the Dark Angels, House of 1000 Doors, Lake House, Paranormal Pursuit, Stray Souls and Weird Park HOAG series (note that Big Fish has some bf not all of the related games). Animation Arts Creative GmbH: develops the Lost Horizon and Secret Files adventure game series. Application Systems Heidelberg Software: developed the lengthy adventure game Nelly Cootalot and The Fowl Fleet. Microids: develops and publishes HOAGs and adventure games, including the Syberia adventure game series, Red Johnson’s Chronicles adventure game series (may not be publicly available any longer), and one of my favorite, Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders. (This isn’t a HOAG, it’s the quintessential detective game.) Microids also publishes HOAGs and adventure games for Anuman Interactive and Pendulo Studios, among others. If you love quirky hidden gems, try the Tova point and click series as well as “Freda and the sequel,” all developed by Biscuit Placebo and published by Jens Staaf; and Kelvin and the Infamous Machine, written and published by Blyts. ORIGINAL GAME REVIEW: There was nothing in the trial that persuaded me to pay for additional gameplay. The game is sloppy, both in appearance and content. By way of example: -Each minigame fit one of two extremes: it was either a cakewalk, or irrational to the point of faux difficulty. In a couple cases, the minigame had to be skipped because not even the guide demonstrated what the answer was or why. -The HOPs were mostly word lists with a few plus items (yawn). However, the cursor was finicky in item selection, making it impossible to complete an otherwise easy HOP without a "miss." -There were several scenes and puzzles where it was very easy to inadvertently click "outside the box" and shut it down repeatedly. This drove me nuts. -The storyline was agonizingly convoluted in a failed attempt to link this game to earlier games in the series. -There are two sets of collectibles (statuettes and morphing items), but the tutorial and map only include statuettes. My rating is 2.5, rounded down to 2 because I have played 3-star games that are much better than this. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how many 2-star ratings the actual players leave, since the fake 5-star ratings planted by Big Fish and friends always artificially inflate the average.

Text tiny

Games too hard plus all the seek n find objects written in text are excruciatingly tiny.. otherwise its just a 3⭐️⭐️⭐️game

What are you thinking??? How does a glowing eyed - YAPPING - canine helper add ANY value, much less interest, to this game...??? Any game.... It’s such a major detraction from the brilliant graphics and beautiful Princess....I deleted it. ? STOP INCLUDING THESE RIDICULOUS PETS ? Q: I mean, where do you conduct your user testing...?? At isolated Walmart’s in the Deep South ..?? Did Bubba or Junior win some contest and was able to suggest “it’a be neat...”?? Good Grief....??‍♀️ (or Gravy ....

A nice game for young players

...although the mini games were a bit tedious and the text font too tiny.

Actually quite fun!

I really liked this sweet little game. Lots of puzzles, which I like. I especially enjoyed the lava tile puzzle, it was something I hadn’t seen before. Varied hos, but nothing new. I felt the game was about average in length. If you like puzzles, and want an offering that is not dark and gruesome like most are, then you will thoroughly enjoy this game!
