Thanks, Ana. I'm reading that the developer of this game is Joybits, and I believe this is their first CE (Joybits brought us The Surprising Adventures of Munchausen, among other games). I look forward to hearing what folks have to say about it. wave

Finished the demo, and I'll probably buy this one. I particularly like the sociative (sp?) HO scenes

I'll be eager to hear more; I like that sort of hidden object scene too. wave

I like it too. The hidden object scenes vary from straight to associated objects(if you get my meaning. I know no other way to describe it) Graphics are nice. I think that it is well worth the money.

Am enjoying this game. Finding it quite challenging. The HO scenes require a bit of extra thought - especially the associative ones. There's a lot of running back and forth, but navigation is very smooth. I don't often need to SG, but have found myself referring to it on several occasions. The artwork is very nice.
