Happy Gaming,
Ana

Thanks, Ana. I remember this game ended up as one of the entries on our favorite casual games list. I've read very good things about it.

I am playing the CE at the moment. A fantastic game with numerous locations and great puzzles. I highly recommend it.

Bernie

Thanks, Bernie. I've read that the CE also has an extra that includes an interview with the developers - I'd like to see that.

Just used free game code on it. And got another once since it filled my card.

Sounds good!

Am at the fountain puzzle. Two of the symbols look identical. There is no skip button. Does this mean I'm out of luck? (obviously can't get it). Thanks.

Hi Laurette,
They are similar but not identical. Pay close attention to the details in the center of each flower and the number of petals on each flower. Some look very similar indeed. There should be a screen shot in the SG or posted walkthrough that shows the correct position. Good Luck!

Thank you for your help, LadyCav.

LadyCav: Thank you. I'm playing the standard version,so don't have access to the strategy guide. Is there anywhere else I could get a close up screen shot?

There is a walkthrough posted at BFG: HERE
The image is near the bottom of the page.

Thanks, LadyCav. I tried capturing the image, but it's too unclear. Guess I'll have to try my best.

Got it! I was making it more difficult than it was. Thanks everyone.

Once again, here I am late for the party...seems like everyone already played this one.

Couldn't resist the opportunity to sing its praises, though...la la la! Loved this game! I had played the demo when it was first released and was not overly impressed. However, due to some of the great reviews it received, I bought the SE.

Wow. Wonderful lengthy game. Enjoyed the graphics and little details put into many of the scenes. Best of all I enjoyed the puzzles. It was so refreshing to play some totally unique puzzles for a change. The voiceovers were well done and added to the creepy atmosphere. There were relatively few hidden object scenes.

While this developer has produced previous offerings on Big Fish, this one is really a cut above. If we hadn't already done our Top Twenty games, this one would have made the list.
Jeanne

I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the game, Jeanne, and I agree with you that it was excellent. I'm already thinking about replaying it, in fact.

I just got through replaying it. I'm sorry I did not purchase the CE, as I wanted more story. Does anyone know if they left it open for a sequel? I hope so.

Lakecat, if you purchase the CE of this game and then write to Big Fish Customer Support, they will refund you the purchase price of the standard edition in the form of a coupon code for the game of your choice (I'm mentioning this just in case you weren't aware that you can do this).

The bonus gameplay is quite interesting, and the CE also includes an interview with the developers. It doesn't seem that they left things open for a sequel, but game developers can be very creative, so you never know.

Thank you Marian. I was unaware of that option and will check it out.
You Mods are the greatest!

Here's a quote from the Big Fish website about upgrading to the Collector's Edition after having purchased the regular version:



Happy gaming.

Great! Thanks, Marian.

Just finished playing this & might think about the CE. I agree with all the comments about it being an excellent game - it would definitely have been included in my top 20 games list if I'd played it earlier.

I'm playing the CE and it's been hard pulling myself out of the game to get other things done today.
Everything it is awesome.

It's a great game, isn't it? I can't wait to see what this developer comes up with next.

I totally agree, Marian. Purchased the CE and it was worth it. I will definately be on the watch for more from the developers.
PS don't usually like creepy, but this one was so well done - and not too creepy.

Glad to hear you went ahead and got the CE, Pam, and that you felt it was worth it.
