This is my first review. I bought this game without trying it first. I realize that was a big mistake. When I started to play this game I had one response....the HO on the desk, their size and lack of clarity (even with a good magnifying glass) elicited an ARE YOU KIDDING ME ??? Followed by the search for the escape route of the robber..... THEY HAVE TO BE KIDDING!!! The hidden objects are waaaay too well hidden. A lot of guessing about how to get from point to point. Genuinely unpleasant characters. When the religious person turned out to be nasty as well I quit playing and decided I had to write this.

I was given this game,and really ,really hate it, It starts off with very nice graphics and storyline, but then spirals down to hidden objects that are tiny and indistinguishable from the background. It is a joke to think anyone could see them well! I have a 23" screen,and I could pick out just a few of them. The main character Jade Rousseau is a detective investigating a crime in a remote mountainous village. I also detest her snarky voice which says," I REALLY need to concentrate",when you click on the wrong object.( Actually she says EVERYTHING in a snarky, sarcastic voice. lol !) It could have been a really good game if they had decent sized, and drawn HO to find, and a more appealing main character. Looks like they didn't want to spend the time to make it a quality game.Save your money and get something else.

The graphics and sounds were fine, and there are voice actors. Parts of the storyline were interesting, however, the main character is rude and unlikeable, as are some of the other characters. It makes the game disagreeable; didn't even want to finish the free trial. Hidden object puzzles are okay. If you can get past the attitudes and dislikable characters, the game may be okay.

Opening scene, the avalanche, is very well done! - Excellent graphics of human beings (they are gorgeous) - Story is very interesting and curious - HOS at good locations - Interactive dialogues (you choose the answear) - Characters are completely different from the usual - (in most games, they are suffering, or sad, or scared ) - here they are angry, hostile, and ironic! This is different and even funny ! -Voice over is greatly according to characters Why only 3 stars: - Graphics of HOS are not clear - Tiny tiny objects (like clips in a messy and full desk) - More time in dialogue than in games - Not really challenging, except for the size of objects
