Not an incredible show! The magician can steal this one! – Twilight Phenomena: The Incredible Show HD - A Magical Hidden Object Game (Full) Review

I think most people should skip this one and save their money for a hopefully better one next time. The story takes place during the early 1920's, and you set out to find your sister who disappears on stage after assisting an evil circus master at the Strauss Circus. Traversing through the circus grounds, you are assisted along the way by creatures who have been victimized by the master's experiments but only after you help them in some way. The grammar is terrible!; what were they thinking? "The "keleton" (supposed to be "skeleton") has asked me to play" was one amongst many typos or spelling errors that I cannot believe the developers did not pick up. The graphics are somewhat faded out and grainy. You had several modes of difficulty, including the option to customize. The map was a bummer because it did not note any objectives, tasks, or labeled locations. It did give fast travel to a location, but you could be running around trying to find things to do. Maybe it was because I chose custom settings? It still should not be the case! The HOS were mainly boring, repetitive word lists with slight interaction - nothing unique. The puzzles were fun, and you are able to choose a difficulty level on some. One example was to move upper halves of masks down to the lower halves by moving blocks around. You also made some quick potions or elixirs. The inventory was labeled but did not require assembly of objects. The journal was a little different in the aspect of acquiring info. You collect film reels and take photos (photos are taken for you = lack of challenge) in certain locations, and a mini HOS will initiate. These photos become a part of the info that is stored in your journal. The only unique aspect worth mentioning is that you get to play "spin the wheel" to receive coins that you can donate to help animals that were abused by the crazy magician. There are no collectibles so this game is not worthy of being a collector's edition; only the usual extras such as replay of games, music, etc. are offered. This game will probably fall short due to length in its simple and linear pattern, as well as any lack of imagination or innovation as we have seen in the last few games. The game deserves about 2.5 stars; but because it ran smoothly and was glitch free, I rounded it off to 3 stars.
