This game was lengthy, had gorgeous graphics and amazing 3D cinematography, and all the bells and whistles, including a full journal. It reminded me, not that I want to date myself, of the EIPIX series Amaranthine Voyage. The veterans will understand what I mean! The HO scenes had a good mix, including word lists, silhouettes, putting objects into their correct places and using one item to find another. This developer integrated a ton of puzzles and mini-games. There was a plethora of tasks to accomplish. Along the way, the gamer interacted with many magical creatures in order to further the story and find one’s way back to earth. So why didn’t I give it a full 5 star rating? First of all, there was a marked lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface. Secondly, it was tedious to find the collectibles. Thirdly, the storyline was one we have seen time after time: an evil entity gaining power and using an infectious plague to destroy earth. After a while that tale gets very old and made the game somewhat dull. Truthfully, with all the manuscripts included, and the constant dialogue, I felt that the game was exhausting to play. In addition, one uses a knife for almost every action. I would have enjoyed more unusual inventory usage. Many of the mini-games could be classified as boring rotational time-wasters. There was a marked lack of originality. This was definitely a good adventure, but just not my cup of tea. I am tired of fantasy, and this developer’s games are all alike. I would prefer a game that falls under the crime/ mystery genre. I think I am becoming a bit jaded! However, many players enjoy fantasy, and do not find rotational games monotonous, and they will love this game!
