This pleasantly surprised me despite not being all that picky about HOGs! Like utterly pleased. I could tell the developers really loved the game they were making.

PROS:
> Really really lovely and detailed visual backgrounds! The way the late afternoon sun hits the walls and by god, the greenhouse area and veranda were so lovely. I loved the bathroom with the serpent theme as well. And...in a dark way, the way the ermm, 'artworks' are positioned. I loved the look of most puzzles too!

> More-than-decent 3D models!---To be honest after playing a HOG where the characters have monkey-qualities (really odd long arms and mouths lower from the nose), the models in this game were pleasing and not at all distracting from the immersion. And they move smoothly too!

>Never before seen puzzles! Something new! Always nice to see different ways to make a puzzle!

Bonus: +1 For the optional grainy effect!!! Super cute!

Good job, art department! Overall 10/10.

CONS:
> I have to agree with some negative feedback---There needs to be fast teleport, it was a fairly big house with different scenes!

> And seconding that it was hard to differentiate places that have unsolved puzzles and places you can use the objects in your current inventory.

>My only singular complaint with the Hidden Object scenes was probably the dressing room (first one), compared to the rest of the HOs, it felt the most skewed in perspective? wrong looking? The sewing machine still resembled a flat stock photo of itself.

> Haha, the MC could stand to have something a little more to say than a bunch of furious grunts! But I figure when someone's trying to kill your girlfriend, you probably shouldn't provoke them.

Would definitely play more games if this team is still around. I know game making is hard, and even harder to make profit when there's so much out there already. Please pull through! I love what you guys made!
