Did I mention the music? I was waiting for the coffin + 10 sombre mourners to burst through the door. I needed some Pogues just to wash out the nasty "taste?" from my ears.

Marian, that's why I am only playing it in small doses.

Hi Doreen,

I think that's a good idea. smile It really is a nice game, and it may well be that my monitor (I still have the old clunky CRT type) is a contributing factor to the difficulty of my seeing the items properly.

I like the game... and I'll tell what I like about it.

It seems this game maker did his or her homework and discovered that the majority of people who play HOG's are older women... thus the main character is one we can relate to. I applaud this tactic. And love that they are listening to us.

It's interactive... something else we've been wanting.

Also, the rooms are not just filled with piles of junk.

The graphics are beautiful and there is not TOO much reading.

I didn't think the music was bad and the game is very long so you get your money's worth.

I didn't find the objects too hard to find and the hints are very generous. The story line is excellent.

They've sold me.

Don't know what I have enjoyed more--playing the demo or LOL at your posts. I am on the fence with this one. I like the story line but I prefer the darker/scary ones better. I didn't have too much trouble seeing the items.

I'm an older guy and I think, based on the first hour, this looks like a fine game. It's long, has lovely and realistic setting graphics, variety, an interesting storyline. I'll wait for reviews of the full game before purchasing, but am very positively inlcined so far.

I am a Senior citizen and I love this storyline. It makes me think of myself when I was young. Schooldays, drive-in movies, picnics, etc. My teen years. THE Hoola Hoop-remember? I love it and the game itself is very interesting with the things you have to do. Recommend it to all to at least try it.

I actually enjoyed the music it was very relaxing. It's not an exciting game but I don't think it was meant to be exciting.

The last half went by a little quicker but it was a very nice game with a nice story.

I liked the game, but I am on the fence about buying it too. I do want to recommend cris for all future reviews on "love" themed games. I never laughed so much. Thank you cris!

You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to February 15th. Love... Smuv! Don't worry though I'm even more cantankerous at Christmas. (New Year, Birthdays, on holiday. In fact any time I'm supposed to be HAPPY!) P.s I like chocolate, so Easter is acceptable....only just!

Well, I have to admit, tried the demo, and got caught up in the storyline. I may just have to purchase to see how it ends. I'm actually finding it endearing..... smile

I too am a senior citizen and hearts this game from start to finish. I wish more games of this type would be made. bravo I am not very fond of the darker or creepy ones. So it is great that diffferent types of games are made to please all of us. grin
