Besides, if sunken secrets is left unattended for too long those kroks come along and take over and then our hard earned magic points have to be spent getting rid of them and their evil weeds

Thank you all for posting in this thread. We are aware of the C++ error that many of you are receiving, but we'd still like to collect more information on this. If you could take the time to write in to Tech Support, that would be very helpful for us to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. -bfgArnoStyx

I've never had one of these before, so no idea what it means, I usually don't have problems with games from BF.
Also why isn't there a technical Issue's thread, for this game?

This is fantastic new Inventory Hidden Object Game from Playrix! I love every minute of it! First of all it opens with an appetizing litlle trailer. Then you have 2 choices. Playing standard, which is the relaxed mode with indicated hotspots, or 'high difficulty'. I played the relaxed mode, so can't tell you much about the more challenging gameplay, but this game is so entertaining that I'm sure I'll play it again in the 'high difficulty' mode.

The other choice you can make is having the character you play talk with a male or a female voice, which I think is the first time I see this thoughtfull possiblility in a game. KUDOS to the devs!!!
The graphics are superb. Handdrawn and crisp, a pleasure to look at. HOG scenes are the junkpile style, but objects aren't difficult to find, I've discovered no small or too well hidden stuff. Another good thing is that the objects fit the timeperiod, no annoying modern things thrown in. Hints are unlimited and the button refills really fast.

The story is intriguing from the start, and the music is so atmospheric and varied that I didn't feel the usual need to mute it. The gameplay is keeping you attentive, it's like looking at a thrilling, spooky movie. You'll have minigames and puzzles to do to make progress, and they're all skippable. The handholding is minimum, which I found great.

This game makes your brain work and is a nice change compared to the easy going majority of HOGs. One of the minigames makes the crow in this story talk. He'll get you started and will continue to appear now and then.
Very convenient is the map of the house that you can use to move to another room. Running around not needed here! You've got a journal too, so no problem to stop playing for a while. You can always catch up easily. Finally, making this game the perfect IHOG of the year IMO, is the length. Hours and hours of gamepleasure, so definitely worth the money! Try the demo at least and if you decide to buy: happy gaming!

I think this is a tad worse because of the way it moves. It doesn't advance like a typical point and click adventure game, I seem to have to use both keyboard and mouse and wow, I am just blah after those 15 minutes or so. I just can't do it. I will wait to contact about it 'cause my fiancee' might like it.

I also can't go on any spinning rides anymore, which I used to love! There is also a ride at Six Flags New England called "Houdini" and you walk into a room as if to watch a movie and there are rows of benches on either side of the room facing each other but they tilt or raise and lower and lights flash and I had to close my eyes the entire time or I would've been sick all day and that was the first thing we went on. I couldn't tell you at all what goes on cause I was just focusing on keeping my eyes closed and telling myself it would all be over in a couple of minutes. Seemed like an eternity though!

It provides a wide variety of play modes and really great mechanisms of play. They've got a nice slow "I'm feeling relatively brain dead" (karma) mode, an arcade mode, a puzzle mode and "I really want to think and react quickly" factory mode.
I suppose one of the things I like best is that it is very simple in premise and easy to learn, but there is a great deal of strategy to playing well. And the different challenges help with your overall play - I did much better on the arcade version after playing in factory mode for a while.
I bought this game (in spite of the name) and have been very glad I did.
