Downloaded long ago then forgot I owned it, but finally played through and enjoyed the experience. Puzzles are quite easy. Piecing together clues is fun if hints aren't often used. The flow of discoveries isn't confusing like I've often seen from similar games. Playtime was ±3 hours – I wasn't rushing. Overall it's a relaxing, smooth-running game. Kept my brain occupied with good, clean fun.

So, I bought this game when it's free (wait, is it still "buying" when you didn't spend any single money?). I love puzzle so that's why I try your game. To solve the puzzle is quite easy when you collect the right clue. Unfortunately I beat the game in almost 3 hours... Overall, the graphic is great and you're quite clever to make the player pay again for the hints and "quick travel"(?) around the map. Keep up the good work! ♡

The graphic and the music were nice, but the story was almost nonexistent. Just a bit at the beginning and the end. This is an easy puzzle game. There's no complex puzzle-solving. You mostly just need to remember where things were because you will almost always need to backtrack whenever you got a new item or a clue. Though to make it easier this game has step-by-step spoiler-free walkthrough which they call Hints.

It's quite good! It has a big map, lots to remember on the way, but it's not difficult. The quests are mainly "how to find it" not "how do I solve it". Checked the walkthrough two times with "what have I forgotten I can do now with what I have?" Because of the many locations this is really good training for your memory. I also checked one time for the wooden boards of all things. :p I was lucky with the labyrinth, I went for "I'll try to get an overview first" and that led me straight to the mausoleum, hint-hint.

Well done! Very relaxing, nice non-annoying music. Neither too hard nor too easy, just enjoyable. Fast travel not needed, really--nothing's that far apart. Clues come at very different times than the puzzles--knowing when you need more info and matching clues to puzzles is more tricky than the logic. I even accidentally opened a area early w/no probs. I like this style much better than games that lead you to the clues one by one. Several hours of play. Highly recommend!!

another awesome game! the puzzles in this one were much more difficult, especially the first time I played. Not so much "figuring out the solution", but more "where the ****** do I find the next clue?!?". even playing through a second time a few months later, I had to resort to the hints to find over half the clues and objects. even so, I greatly enjoyed playing the game, and look forward to more in the series. good work!

I love these games from Syntaxity. Beautiful graphics, relaxing music, and engaging little puzzles. Nothing difficult once you've picked up the relevant clues. It does test the memory when you pick up a clue for a puzzle you saw a while back, but the map helps. I don't worry about the fast travel. Perfect to calm the mind and kill a couple of hours. More please 😊

The map isn't so big that it's inconvenient to go from place to place, so no complaint about having to pay for the fast map movements. I don't know why anyone would pay for hints when you can find walkthroughs online, so also no complaints about having to pay for hints. Neither are necessary. The graphics are great. The puzzles range from very easy to decently hard sometimes. It was pretty much over before I realized, but for a pocket game though? Reasonable price and amount of gaming time.
