What players say
I honestly really enjoyed this game. Yes, the gameplay wasn't difficult and it was on the shorter side, but at the same time it just had a charm to it with good art and animation. I felt the puzzles while not difficult where still enough of a challenge. I actually had a lot of fun with the connecting line puzzle the game had for defeating guards. So, I felt they were pretty fun despite not being hard. But it is on...

pros ✅ A nice old-school and fable hero/villain story unfolds in a kingdom seized by an evil usurper ✅ nice variety and fun to solve puzzles and mini games ✅ hidden object scenes enjoyable, various and not repetitive ✅ nice background musics ✅ four difficulty options ✅ there are cards and steam achievements ✅ there are in game collectibles ✅ game is not too short ✅ there is auto save ✅ hint system very helpful ✅...
Not bad at all; compared to the drivel that Brave Giant has been foisting upon us, this HOG developed by Cordelia Games and published by Artifex Mundi (who regrettably seem to have long since ditched the PC game marked) has good looking graphics/animations, acceptable writing/voice acting, decent (if repetitive) music and some absolutely AOK hidden object puzzles and mini-games. Nothing here is going to blow you...
