Connected Hearts: Fortune Play Collector's Edition

The game captivated me with its compelling storyline and well-crafted characters, especially the antagonist, Dreyer Crowley. Experiencing the game through dual perspectives was a fascinating first for me, adding depth to the narrative. The art and music are beautifully executed, enhancing the overall atmosphere. However, I found the puzzles to be on the easier side, which might not satisfy those seeking a challenge. Additionally, some item uses were perplexing—like using a diamond to cut glass just to get oil, which I barely remember even using. It would also be great to have in-game achievements integrated into Steam for a more rewarding experience. And if they add them after I’ve already finished the entire game, forcing me to replay it all over again just for achievements—I’ll be mad. Overall, it’s a well-made game that I’d recommend to fans of the genre.

Every single game I got during the sale of this developer has some sort of problem like not being able to get a hidden coin or the mechanics of a game are so bad you have to finish it by skipping or one game the bonus chapter at the very end, the last thing to do was like done for you even though the item you need is still in your inventory so you can't finish the BC at all...no wonder these were on sale ...but really if I could get my money back for all of them I would. I could get game play out of it but too many issues in each one to play again. I have played these types of games for years, going back to the big fish days and these have to be the worst because as far as I am concerned this developer didn't care about if their game worked or not. I saw other issues as well like the instructions to the puzzle games were just awful and I played all of these on easy mode but because they were just so poorly devised some you just had to skip. nope, this is one developer I can't recommend any of their games ..too many had problems in them.

It's a relaxing and very well-designed game. Enjoy!

there are good symbols, otherwise better average [70%]

This was quite a good HOG game. There was quite a variety of puzzles, but the HOG scenes themselves were entertaining too. I didn't skip any of the puzzles, though I did skip the mini-games. Not so fun. The story was interesting, a rich man who sacrifices a 'loving heart' to keep the goddess Fortuna happy, kidnaps an actress named Beatrice who is in love with her fiance, Franz. You play as both Beatrice ad Franz to escape your fate. The bonus chapter was like half the length of the game and also quite intriguing. One note: at a couple of times in the game you will be prompted to make a decision. If you choose not to accept the person's offer, the game will continue but you will miss a significant scene or event. This option is clearly marked with a red jewel. If you want to play though it quickly, then skip them. But otherwise they adds more depth to the story. Recommended! ^-^

beautiful game
