Lovely game. Nice graphics and not too hard. And I really enjoyed that you earned money by selling the things you find to remodel the castle and its grounds.
After reading the reviews of how challenging the scenes were in this game, I just had to try it. I have to agree with the other reviewers, for the most part. The scenes are stunning looking and the items all blend in very well with their environment, offering much more of a challenge that the majority of HOGs out there. However, there are extra hint wands hidden ALL OVER THE PLACE and, if you wait long enough, an item will glow, showing you where it is. But, all in all, it still had an engaging story, beautiful scenes (that can also be unlocked to use as wallpaper), and some interesting puzzles. Each scene led so perfectly into the next that it was hard to find a good stopping spot! So, if you're looking for a challenge and a magical, fairy tale storyline, the Chronicles of Albian is for you!
Lovely game. I really enjoyed to play this game.
Some items are very hard to find, but, it is a beautiful game, in spite of the hints you have to use. Sometimes you really can?t find an object. I love to fix up buildings in the scenes and I buy all games I have to do that. The castle becomes gorgeous when you finish it. The magicians, the fairies and witches are very beautiful and is a light game. Just to have fun. Lately all the HOGs are so dark, vampires, death, ills, too much blood, murders and dark scenes. I don?t like them. I prefer games that I can enjoy myself, happy games.
THIS IS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR. IT WOULD BE NICE TO FIX THINGS IN A CASTLE, LIKE PIANOS, DIFFERENT COUCHES, WALL PAPERS , PAINTS, CHAIRS,DISHES IN A DINING ROOM ECT....FIND ITEMS, WOMEN LOVE DECORATING.
Some objects are challenging to find but there is a fairy in each search who will locate one item for you. There is no wondering what you're supposed to do next like some hidden mystery games do and you have no clue what it wants you to do next. In this game you are earning $$$ to remodel the castle with different models to choose from and each has a different $ amount you have to earn before you can buy it. I found it very entertaining. There are a lot of levels in this game so it will keep you busy for quite awhile. Would like to find another game like this by whoever created this one.
After reading the reviews I decided to give this game a shot and I loved it! It's a really long game which I enjoy as well as a challange. The HOS are not easy. A lot of the items are small and very well hidden. If you are a HOS lover, and love a challange this is the game for you. I like the storyline being the niece of a fairy godmother and having my name in the story line, the music is lovely and over all it's a lot of fun. I bought it in the first 10 minutes of the demo.
This game will be played over again, as it is one of the most fun games I've ever played. It's good for teens as well as adults as there is nothing really gross in the game. It's not a heavy action game, I enjoy missing object games and it's a little more involved because you sell your items to help with the castle. The music is so relaxing and beautiful. It makes it very pleasant to take time for yourself, with a fun game, pleasant music, and nice bright, colourful scenes.
I don't know how I missed this when it first came out, but I'm glad I finally tried it out. It has been a long time since I played a straight hidden object game, and I didn't realize how much i had missed it. The storyline is charming, light-hearted, and magical- you need to help restore the castle for an upcoming magic convention. The story is cute, but not intrusive, so you are never more than a few clicks away from the next hidden object scene. There are some nice puzzles that pop up on occasion, though they are all skippable. Since they provide extra money for restoring the castle, I solved all the ones I cam across. It is the HO scenes that really drive the game play. Every room is bursting at the seams with cleverly hidden items. It has been a long time since I had to work so hard to find the items on my list- not because they are small or hard to make out, but because the placement was very clever. There are also gems (which give more money for fixing up the castle), wands (which give you more hints), and fairies (who uncover items for you) hidden in each scene. Any time I can't find an item on the list I search for one of those, and by the time I've grabbed a few jewels or picked up a new wand, suddenly my fresh perspective uncovers the item I was having trouble with. There is also a nice bonus for finding items quickly, one after the other, so as my skills starten to sharpen, I would find 4 or 5 items before starting to click them to get big bonuses. This is a very straightforward hidden object game, but it is so well executed that it really grabbed me. I was shocked when the trial ended so quickly...the hour just flew by.
The graphics are absolutely gorgeous, and as a bonus you get all the lovely scenes as wallpaper. It?s in the style of a classic HO but with the added fun of sprucing up the castle and grounds in preparation for a magic conference. There are many HO scenes, plus hidden gems, etc., to find, and lots of funny dialogue. It has good minigames that, as an extra feature, you can revisit. This is a wonderfully long and enjoyable game!
