Be aware! This was a fun game, but extremely short. It took about an hour and a half to complete. shocked

I'm going to pass on this one. I like the story, but I am almost half way through and still have 15 minutes on the demo.

Joan, yes, I'm reading comments on Big Fish about the brevity of the game as well. The game has a nice "Olde England" feel to it and I enjoyed the part of the demo that I played, but total play time would appear to be three hours at best (and I tend to be a slow player).

I'll be interested to read additional comments posted here from other players. wave

I played ten minutes and bought it. Nice IHog. Now that I know it's a short game I'll just play really slow and enjoy it. lol

Hi, Redz!

That's disappointing because "A Christmas Carol" (with Alastair Sim) is my favorite Christmas movie.

I'm still going to download the demo and will probably buy the game, but I'll use my punch card credit.

I'm on the fence with this one. I finished the demo, liked the game, and I am on Chapter 4, which looks like I am about half way thru the game. When I was playing Lost Chronicles: Salem, I was about half way thru the game (this is according to the walk through for both games) and that game lasted 5 hours for me.

Is Big Fish having a Christmas Sale think whistle

That's good to know about the game length for you, Kate Anne! Length of game can vary greatly from player to player, so that's why it's nice to get a diversity of opinions about this.

I haven't read anything about a Christmas sale on Big Fish; we will just have to wait and see. wave

And birthday smile

The game is short and easy if you use the walkthrough to know what to do next, otherwise you may be going around in circles not knowing what to do.

The first hour brought me to chapter five, not sure what I'll do. It will probably only take another half hour to 45 minutes to finish.

The graphics are great, but the hogs go by very quicky because there is not a lot of clutter and things are normal size so they are easy to pick out.

I like HOGs that go by quickly. Did you finish it Flo NS?

No, I didn't bother. I like games not so easy and short.

I Beta tested this one. Got through the Beta very quickly before it took me to the survey. I actually found the game to be very easy. I also wasn't very crazy about the premise.

I enjoyed what little there was of the game, but it definitely wasn't worth $6.99. Nice graphics, decent story, but too easy and too short.

Has anyone had technical problems with Twisted? I have installed it twice but both times the short clip at beginning runs fine but when I get to point where I should be able to interact with game it is frozen. No sound,nothing....

This is a really cute game, and I was really enjoying it, until I hit a glitch. When I checked the forums at Big Fish, I read that many people have had the same problem and you cannot finish the game. I wish it could be fixed but have no idea when or if this will happen. This is just a heads-up to those who want to buy it, to let you know that there is a problem.

I see one or two posts about this on the Big Fish forums. Maybe write to Customer Support and see what they have to say? wave
