Ana, I hope you know I'm getting spoiled. Downloaded and bought immediately as I loved the first game. Felix is sitting here cheering me on!

I haven't finished the first one... but I'll buy it I'm sure.
I have 3 unfinished games... I play a little at each every night.
They are like all-day suckers... if I like them I don't want them to end. (I'm sure sure in the fall when I'm retired they won't last long at all.)


Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

I bought this game and installed it twice now. I always get a message that says exe file not operating, or something like that.
Do I just continue to reinstall? How can I reach their customer support by email? Teddo***************Sorry for the bother. I just found out how.

I just finished after 11 hours of play. It is much better than the first game in my opinion.

I spent most of my time on the traditional hidden objects screens. In the last chapter I used quite a few hints and the only mini puzzle I skipped was the very last slider puzzle.

I got the second best ending and told to go back and play again to get the best ending LOL oh well!

I found the game totally over cluttered with obscure objects and some were so small you couldnt even see them.

Not my cup of tea.

I played the demo and have to agree with overcluttered and small objects. However, I have a mouse with a magnifer on it, so I put the screen to window mode instead of full screen and use the mouse to find the small objects I can't find.

Even though I am disappointed because Kate's voice is only at the beginning of the game, I still purchased the game. It is worth it and love to follow the storyline.

I am shocked I just purchased 4 games in a row from BFG all brand new ones including tomorrows game for members. BFG is on a roll now. I am doing my part in stimulating the economy! rotfl

How very patriotic of you Sherryah! It sounds like a perfect excuse to load up on Big Fish Games. I'm off to buy Cate West and probably 2 or 3 more. I must also do my part to stimulate the economy.

I love that last quote, Sherryah! I bought this one, too, since I loved the first, and this is shaping up to be even better!

This felix favourite promotion has got us all supporing the economy I think LOL

I do agree that the object finding in some screens of this game is difficult. Some screens are a bit grainy and wishy washy which does not make it easy.

Anyway I am going to try a second time for the best ending seeing I only made second best first time. Anyone that got best ending playing relaxed mode and has tips they are welcome smile

I have tried not clicking on incorrect spots to avoid losing points and doing speed bonus - but honestly not sure why in relaxed mode we need to go that effort!

The game for me is fun so far. I don't mind if a few items are hard to find since playing in untimed version. I think if no hints are used that this will allow for the best ending. I got the best ending for the first game. Hoping to get it this time.

Just an FYI, I also have an "intellipoint" microsoft mouse and it has a button on the left side that creates a magnification window that moves around instead of a cursor. Very useful for HOGs. Yes developers should know better than to hide small objects...but you can only tell them so many times and some never listen.

I've finished playing the first Cate West and found it to be a great game. I'll definitely get this one too. Thanks Ana for the good news.

I bought the game some places where hard to find things but, it is generous with the hints. I finished it got second best ending the more score better the ending I will wait awhile before playing it again.

Does this mean that they will make a third installment of the game? I do agree with everyone eise about the harder to find objects but I was so interested in finding out what happened at the end that I didn't even really consider it that much. Big Fish should love me after all the new games I just downloaded and played. I guess that is what happens when you spend money on yourself for your own birthday.

I am enjoying this one as well. But I want to say thanx to Sherryah and BFG as I just discovered I have a magnifier on my mouse! Could have used it a billion times before now but better late than never! thanks
