This looks to be another beautiful, quality game from the developer Boomzap (their most recent games being Awakening: The Goblin Kingdom and Death Under Tuscan Skies: A Dana Knightstone Novel).

I've spent 20 minutes with the demo and like the previous two games mentioned above, it appears to be more of an adventure/puzzle game with fewer hidden object scenes.

Looking at the strategy guide, it appears to be a long game. There are three levels of difficulty from which to choose.

EDIT: There's a post from the developer in the Big Fish forum for this game. I'm going to add it here, because I enjoyed reading it and I think you will too:

Quote:
I just wanted to take a brief moment to thank everyone for taking the time to try our newest franchise, and to hope that you enjoy this slightly different direction. The title was our attempt to try to try a slightly darker theme, but to stay true to our bright and beautiful roots. I hope that we have succeeded in making something that's meaningfully different from our Awakening, Dana Knightstone, and Antique Road Trip franchises, but similar enough that our fans can say "this is why I like Boomzap games."

As a new franchise, this was one of our longest and most expensive development cycles. It was a real labor of love - honestly, all of our games are - but this one was particularly loved by the staff because we tried so much new in it, including a very different art style from anything we have seen in the genre. We also added a number of new features, including updated strategy guide that keeps pace with you, a harder difficulty level, and lots of other small touches based on the feedback of our users. As always, we're extremely curious to hear what you're happy about, and what you'd like to see changed. Of course, with such a diverse user base, we can't please all of the users, since many have opposed opinions - but we always do listen, and love the feedback.

As many of you know, Boomzap is a virtual studio with staff across the world, but largely in Southeast Asia - including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Tonight is the eve of Chinese New Year - and tonight many of our dev team are at home celebrating the biggest holiday of the Asian year with their families, trying their best not to let their parents, grandparents, assorted aunts and uncles see them constantly check their iPhones to read all of your wonderful comments when they are supposed to be celebrating. Trust me when I say you have made their day.

Thanks Marian, I changed the title to reflect it's a puzzle adventure. I always look forward to the background you find on the games. yay

Someone on the Big Fish forum for the game said that it took her nearly 12 hours to play through the main game in hard mode. She was ecstatic! laugh

Patsy, I see a few people on the Big Fish forum who are having problems with the gate. One person said:

Quote:
In order to zoom in on the gate, I had to backup/reenter scene. Had to (backup/reenter scene) to place the "items" on the gate lock. I had to do the same thing again, (backup/reenter) in order to go through the gate.


I'm not sure if this is the kind of problem you are describing, but this is all I could find. Otherwise, let's wait for another player to come along who can help. I haven't purchased the game so don't have any experience with this. wave

Thank you Marian. My problem is I can't move the flower to get the last piece for the gate lock.

Very good idea you had, Patsy, and I'm happy it worked for you! Hopefully the rest of the game will be trouble free. smile

Bought this one without even trying it because I liked the look of the screens. What a beautiful game. I've just played a bit of it but I think it's a winner. The puzzles are just right for me, not too easy but not too difficult either. I would definitely recommend this to people.
