    I’d probably go with a mixed review if I could. It’s not terrible, but it’s not that great either. I’ll give it a thumbs down because I was annoyed with the card puzzles. You have to look for certain types of cards such as spades or odd numbers. If you make a mistake and click on the wrong card, then the puzzle resets to the beginning and you have to find the same cards you just found all over again. This doesn’t …

    A cute concept, but poorly executed. For starters, the number of times I have to click twice on an item for it to recognize my selecting it is quite irritating. On several occasions I ended up having to request a hint, only for the game to circle an empty spot, that once clicked, counted as correct. It has the common bizarre flaw of having multiple items that the same word could refer too in the same puzzle, but …

    Tricky one this. The graphics are dated; grainy and not very distinct. It doesn't work at all well in HD, and some of the puzzles are pretty annoying. The story is simple and already pretty well known, but all the same I found it compelling enough to get to the end. The hidden object scenes are hit-and-miss, with quite a few being the 'find 10 of these' type. The 'normal' HO puzzles are hampered by the graphic …

    This is basically a headache. If you want one you have found your game. I really hate the card puzzles and a few of the others..... But somehow I couldn't stop playing... I really wholeheartedly hate the card puzzles in this game. This is my new nemesis

  • [7]Steam user Steam user …4010Steam review · Sep 28, 2021 · Recommended

    EXCELLENT game for lovers of Hidden Object! Super low price gives you a neat, historically correct story with beautiful art, clever hiding of objects, good atmospheric soundtrack and clever mini games! You have the option to drag the screen or zoom in (to find things) and accrue hints in the form of little gold stars found in scenes. Highly recommend this game!

    FACT OF THE DAY. 25 January 1890. The attempt by American journalist Nellie Bly (born Elizabeth Jane Cochran) to travel around the world in less than 80 days was successful. She aimed to emulate Jules Verne’s fictional character, Phileas Fogg, in Around The World in 80 Days. Bly took 72 days.

    No, he isn't. Jules Verne's work has inspired a lot of contemporary films, shows, and books, with many stories drawing from his adventurous spirit, exploration themes, and early sci-fi concepts.

Ofc inspiration doesnt HAVE to come just from Media, the real world itself and all the people in it are full of stories and experiences.
