My main issue was the music and how it cuts off when you move from a location to another. I was going to rate it negatively in the first two areas. I don't know where to start with this game. It's an okay game, but I definitely wouldn't pay much than a few euro for it. It would be better if they were left out (or improved a lot). The descriptions of the achievements are also poor. You get them every time you move to a new world, so if you finish the game, you also get all achievements. The Steam achievements seem to be just a "tick in the box". the one with the basket) you had to make sure the cog wasn't visible, otherwise the puzzle wouldn't work. Sometimes it was accepted if the object was used in the right area and sometimes you needed to put the item exactly in the place of the cog. The "use" actions also seemed to be a bit random. Also some puzzles didn't make sense and even after using the hint button I didn't understand the logic. There was no need to explain it that early, it would be nice if the hints appeared at the appropriate moment. It regularly happened that when I clicked an object, I got an explanation what I needed to do much later in the game. The puzzles were okay'ish, but definitely not good. After the last action of the game, there is a 5 second cut scene explaining how the story ends, but to me it doesn't make much sense. The story starts off promising, but after the first world you seem to end up in 6 random other worlds. Get it with a big discount or in a bundle. I spend a bit over 4 € on the game and I wouldn't recommend getting it for this or a higher price. Overall the game is just bland both from the story (which there is very little of) and the game play. The hidden object scenes are okay, but nothing special. I just mention it because it is rather disturbing. Then it doesn't start from the beginning but rather just continues like it was playing muted in the meantime. The background music doesn't fade in and out, but rather is just switched on when you are in a location where it is supposed to play. Not to mention the amount of puzzles that can only be solved using one specific item even if you have another item that does the same in your inventory (you have a saw in your inventory and you need to use a sawfish or you have one kind of vice in your inventory, but you need to use another vice). You will end spamming the hint button a lot as most of the solutions are quite obscure. The puzzles aren't horrible, but they are far from great. Weird casual adventure game that is just a bunch of neat backgrounds barely tied together with a sprinkle of story.
