This was an absolutely fabulous Hidden Object Game (HOG). It is probably a great Queen's Quest game, except I don't know this is the first one I've played. But this one was really great. First of all, on a technical level, there were lots and lots and lots of puzzles. And none of the boring sliding puzzles or obtuse mini-games you see in sub-par HOGs. Instead this game had puzzles that would have been appropriate in "Da Vinci" or "The Room." Good puzzles. And the HOG puzzles were well done, too. A good variety of them: regular scenes, scenes where you literally had to move everything to see what was behind them all, fragmented hidden-object scenes, and scenes where you had to manipulate stuff, such as using scissors to open a bag. The game plays fair-- if an object is in plain sight, the name is colored white, but if you need to manipulate something or it's hidden behind another object

The game is not bad, one of few new games by AM that didn’t disappoint me. Plot is quite simple but pleasant, graphics is pretty, inventory and mechanics intuitive, there is a bonus chapter (short one) so you don’t feel like you’ve spent too much on a short adventure. HO scenes and minigames are very easy, there’s no challenge there if you’re looking for one. Getting 100% achievement is not difficult either. Collectibles are distinctive and visible in every scene so you won’t spend hours trying to locate them. There’s an interactive map but I feel it’s bugged, multiple times there was no mark showing the active task but it doesn’t change anything. As I said, game is pleasant and nice, up to 4 hours with the bonus chapter, with no replay value and very easy. If you’re looking for a reset after a hard day that is it, but I wouldn’t pay the whole price.

It is a decent hidden object game, except the minigames are really easy for the most part. I haven't encountered any bugs or issues and the Linux version of the game works great.

I'm a fan of the Artifex Mundi games, but this game didn't excite me. Not worth the full price on Steam. Queen's Quest 2 was such a good game, but the rest haven't lived up to the same standard, although they're not bad. NOTE: There is a bonus quest, which does lengthen and improve the value of the game. It's quite short, and fairly easy, but it's relaxing. Like the game, the production values are high, but the story is a little weak and it's very straightforward. So, you get the usual AM benefits: clean, professional art, relaxing music track, clean gameplay (at least, it was for me), and most of the bells and whistles. There are achievements and trading cards, a nice plus if you like those things (I usually do). The map didn't feel very useful. There didn't seem to be a way to tell if you'd already found all collector's items in an area, which was annoying; that said, I found them all
