    CONS: Music is difficult to shut off. Low difficulty level. Only has 16 levels. Can’t be played in fullscreen.
  6. PROS: Interesting plot, which keeps players guessing. Puzzles strike the right difficulty balance. Makes effective use of mini-games. Players can try before they buy the full game.
    CONS: No real graphical improvements from Mysteryville. User interface is occasionally untidy. Gameplay can become a little bit repetitive. Relatively short compared to other HOGs.
  7. PROS: Beautiful HD graphics create a memorable in-game atmosphere. Excellent complementary sound design. Map shows screens you've visited, preventing you from becoming disoriented. Plenty of puzzles and items to find.
    CONS: High price tag for such a simple game. Frustrating option to purchase fast travel (i.e. quick walking) and hints mean you can buy your way to completion. Low age rating is concerning, considering ease of in-app purchases. Requires 1024x768 minimum screen resolution.
