This game is really quite terrible. It is a hidden object game with some puzzles thrown in. The dialogue has no bearing on the hidden object searches, the items and locations are repetitive, and it was clearly not produced by English speaking folks. Some of the items are mislabeled. For example, a "rugsack" turns out to be a backpack or rucksack. In other locations, you are asked to search for a "wristwatch" which turns out to be an alarm clock. The graphics are lousy and it is hard to make out all the objects in the first place. I found that each room had 10 hidden objects and two hints available -- which turned out to be a good thing. The puzzles were uninspired and not very challenging. If you like a simple hidden mystery game, I would recommend Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst. For a more interesting detective game, try Nancy Drew or Murder She Wrote. On the plus side, it is appropriate for families and kids.
