I had a hard time categorizing this game; I discovered that you do look for hidden objects but apparently in a somewhat unconventional way, and it sounds like the game has lots of adventure. The feedback on this game that I am reading is very positive. It's from the same developer as Green Moon, an unusual adventure-lite game that a lot of people enjoyed. Let's wait and see what the consensus is as to how this game should be categorized - we can always change the categorization.

Just bought this quirky game. I don't what to say it is like. A little of Wandering Willows or Animal Crossing where you go from place to place to help get things. Very quirky characters, and LOTS of inventory! Looks like a very large place to travel around, in fact in 45 minutes, got turned around several times! Not sure about the "adult" themes part of it, did find a little "bathroom" humor. All in all, I am looking forward to some great fun with this one!

I couldn't stand five minutes of Green Moon. Think I'll pass on this one.

it's not easy though - I've come to a place where I can't proceed because everyone at each place I visit is wearing the gas masks

It's where you have discovered "poo". Go to any water i.e. the beach with the guy standing there in the water, or the puddle from the fire hydrant, or a house on the right side of the map has a hose running in the yard. Might be other places too. From what I have discovered, as long as you are "dirty", no one wants to have any dealings with you. Once "clean", you are free to play again, until of course you step in it again. Hope that helps! Koalanut

It is interesting Ana, very different. It's kept me busy the last couple of evenings for hours. (I know I should be doing other things, tee-hee!) I am nearing the end, got a couple of items I can't figure out where to place and should be done. It's one of those games that you really can't bear to quit because you keep finding things to use somewhere else.

Finished the demo last evening, and it is such a fun and "quirky" game - a very pleasant change to all the "spooky" games (which I also love, by the way!)

I'm reading on the Big Fish forums that there is a park by the train station, with more than one entrance (triangular shaped). Maybe that is where the mistletoe is?
