3rd entry in a series of 12 most likely unrelated games, and one of the few with fmv, the reason I bought it. #1, #2, #11 and #12 aren't on steam and the first (mystery of another world) and second (the noise she couldn't make) also have fmv, so would buy those. except [b]big fish quietly doubled the price of most of their games to a ridiculous $20 at the beginning of 2026[/b], even though many are 10+ years old (this is from 2013) and nothing was done to them since release. I normally upvote the fmv hogs I play, they're all the same, random puzzles, cheesy story and acting, and this is no different (decent voiceovers too), plus [b]a ridiculous price alone isn't stopping a recommendation, but shady practices like this do[/b]. has very separate volumes, a brightness slider and toggles for windowed mode, widescreen, custom cursor and special effects, the usual 3 difficulty modes and separate player profiles. there's an in-game achievements and instructions screen, an optional tutorial at the beginning, inventory lock (don't have to mouseover all the time), hints, and a fast travel map where cutscenes can also be rewatched. oh, and a cute hamster buddy for a while. that's right, not …

I understand why Lord Thunder was jealous of Jeremy’s wife. This is one of the older adventure HOGs so it does have its own draw backs that come with it, but the FMV and entertaining voice acting adds a lot of charm that helps you overlook some of the more outdated gameplay or designs that might flaw it. The puzzles are fresh compared to current day HOGs adding more to the enjoyability of the game. My biggest peeve of this game was that I couldn't play it full screen without cutting off a third of the screen, I could not figure out a work around so I did have to play it windowed.

lots of HO and puzzles, fun graphics and story

gameplay is good with a few different twists to regular HOGs (using inventory items to finish an item to make a match on it). The only glitch I have is that I must run it at 1920x1080 screen resolution in order to have the screen not have missing areas.

This game is very enjoyable to play. It has a well-thought-out story and a very helpful hint system. Pros + voice acting + bonus chapter + nice graphics
