A mixture of Swan Lake story and The Little Mermaid in Dark Romance style. You'll start off with Swan lake story, Odette and her fiance Siegfried were going to get married, alas everything did not go as they wished and Odette was cursed by the court magician and his daughter Alana who married the prince instead. Odette will meet a beautiful mermaid who will help her remove the curse and return to her human form only until dusk, the rest is up to Odette to reveal the evil man's plan and get back her prince. In the bonus chapter, you'll learn more about Mermaid's story. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2028361629 The artwork is outstanding, I loved all the sceneries and rooms in the game, the character's design is ok but the map is nicely made, you can even fast travel in it and get all the indicators you need, such as collectibles. I didn't like the soundtracks much, especially that it cuts off from time to time, sometimes you play with nothing in the background except for ambient sounds. The voice-overs are ok though. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2028359379 The hidden objects scenes are very well made, I enjoyed them a lot, and there is a verity of puzzles, some of them are quite difficult, but in case you want to solve it, there is an in-game guide. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2028363354 Pros: +Beautiful detailed artwork and locations. +Fast traveling map. +Multiple hidden objects scenes (Mix between the usual list of items and silhouette, riddles, voiced) +OK voice-overs. +Variety of puzzles. +Collectibles. +Bonus chapter. Cons: -No steam achievements. (Only in-game achievements) -Soundtracks cut off from time to time. -Game lags a bit when you pick up items. I've experienced a slight lag in the gameplay, especially when you pick items up. but this doesn't interrupt anything. I quite enjoyed this game and would recommend it to HOGs and puzzles lovers.

Another hidden-object game where you can play as two people. Plot seems to revolve around a servant (who might be a swan based on the intro) who is trying to marry a prince, though a dark sorcerer seems to have other ideas… Plot is interesting, hidden object scenes are fun, and the minigames challenging. Do recommend getting in the bundle.

Nice!

Honestly one of the most gorgeous games I've ever played. I kept pausing the game to take screenshots and admiring how pretty it is. Love the birdsong and other sound effects like horses' hooves, and the owl character is so funny! Odette and Siegfried are a great couple and love each other, and Odette's bond with her grandma is really nice. Bonus chapter is really nice too, but I prefer the main story. I like the subtitles and the music is great. Keep up the great work!

HOGs are puzzles, enjoyed game.

Even though the story is average, the whole game is enjoyable and fun to play. Pros: + Nice graphics. + Very good gameplay.

It had nice intro that replays and reset the plays for each story unlike so many other games I had to play and add new players to play new games. Its adopting some "other" hidden object game that has same idea. Like: story, characters and Match 3 puzzle. Dislike: Story one was cut short and story 2 was how did it branch off? Personal Opinion: ?

excellent

it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucked, couldn't even finish the dumb bonus chapter cause of a bug

Puzzles are too easy, very boring. Beautiful art though.
