Hi Marian, after seeing your thread I tried the demo & just had to get the rest of it!! Just finished - an abrupt ending but a lot of fun.
I would agree - if you like the Huntsville series you would probably enjoy this but it is a little simpler, the detail is not quite so good & it is not so easy to see where things are!
But each section is only 15 mins long, if you have to replay it the object list may slightly change but only by a few items.
You make money everytime you find something & can then buy hints to find where things are - so you can let the time run down & replay the section knowing where everything is!!
Once you have found all the objects, as Marian has mentioned, you get a 'spot the difference' - and make money for every difference you identify.
After that (you are out to get a story!) you get 6 opportunities to catch & photograph the particular person etc that you are 'investigating' in each section. The object is to get enough photos to get on the front page of the newspaper & you get paid. As you make more money the hints get more expensive.
It is a very lighthearted puzzle game pulled together by a bit of a story thread!
