good game. enjoyed the story

Does not work on modern systems - attempted to use compatibility settings to no success

played it on my mom's iPad when I was a kid. I've tried other ones but, honestly? this is the only one I'd recommend. it's just so simple and pretty, I love curling up with a hot chocolate on snowy days and solving the puzzles.

Half the puzzles in this game don't make any sense and the bonus round plot didn't make any sense. Had to use the Hint and Skip buttons constantly. 2/10

This one was far less frustrating than the last one. We at least have a map to travel around with. It's just fine.
