Christmas Adventures: A Winter Night's Dream

this game wasn't as good as the first. The people were creepy when they were talking.

This is simply one of the worst HOGs and worst designed games I have ever played. Each hidden object puzzle begins with a series of required items you must find before getting to the main HOG, which is frustrating by itself, but the descriptions are vague, badly translated, or plain misleading and wrong. The complete leaps of logic and random guessing would almost be tolerable if there was not a misclick penalty that does not cool down no matter how long you wait. The scenes are not connected sensibly in any way, with multiple zones selectable near the beginning of the game that you do not getting the required item until near the end. With no map, there is no way to make any sense of what you are supposed to do next. Despite hundreds of hours of HOG experience, I have never clicked the hint button so many times - and I usually avoid all hints. I appreciate a game that makes you think, not a game that forces you to click randomly until you stumble upon the solution. Even if the story wasn't utterly bland and nonsensical, I could not possibly recommend this train wreck of a game.

Incredibly trash game.

Da ist er also, der HINT-Button-Simulator! Im Ernst: Wer denkt sich so einen Unsinn aus? Als durchaus erfahrener Wimmelbild-Rätsel-Spieler musste ich das Ganze abbrechen, bevor mein Puls endgültig in astronomische Höhen schoss. Die Musik? Nervig – also schnell abgedreht. Die Grafik? Hübsch, weihnachtlich, ja sogar ein wenig gemütlich. Doch dann kam der eigentliche „Spaß“: Rätsel, die so absurd sind, dass man sich fragt, wer der Meinung war, dass dies eine gute Idee sei. Anfangs noch erträglich, sank meine Freude mit jedem Klick tiefer – bis ins Bodenlose. Und genau das ist es: eine bodenlose Frechheit! Weg damit – von der Festplatte, vom Account, aus dem Ort, der Welt, dem Universum. Fazit: Wer seinen Ruhe Puls gerne mal hoch treiben möchte, greift zu.

That was truly one of the most frustrating and horrible hidden object games I have played in a long, long time. The core of the frustration comes at first with the game's sense of logic, which from the get-go is just god awful, but quickly turns to the inconsistency in controls. the preciseness to which you are expected to click varies wildly, to the point where I have used hints to tell me where it wants AND THE CLICK HAS STILL NOT REGISTERED EVEN IN THE CENTRE OF THE CIRCLE, as do whether or not you're expected to click two objects together or manipulate the mouse to make it look as though they're together. The game will tell you to find certain objects only to find there are multiple in the picture but only one correct. ropes, bootstraps, and bows all fell to this. /there will be little "crafting"sections before each hidden object scene and I dread them greatly. sometimes an animation will start, sometimes not. sometimes you have to click at the end and sometimes it APPARENTLY wants you to take the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ eyes out of a crow figure, after never prompting you for such an item or giving you the ability to do similar the whole game. The inconsistency continue with picking up items and getting prompted to do things that you've not only not come across, but not even unlocked the area for, multiple times. The point I knew I'd be asking for a refund was when the crafting part of the game asked me to "tie the necktie", proceeded to only let me click the boot and ice cube, and had me smash the cube to get a key, All with me barely registering that the instructions were incorrect because ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ why would they be in this pile of ♥♥♥♥? Free? a dollar? I'd be thumbs up and encouraging. $7.50au... I can buy so many thngs with that which would not take 2hrs of my time and leave me without any good frrling. What about the games puzzles? there where what? four total? If I'm being generous? they're not worth mentioning.

Eh didn't really enjoy this HOG. The puzzles were too cryptic to the point where it was frustrating. Had to use a guide to figure out which items to use on what things. And once you got to the actual hidden object scenes, they were so easy you finished then in 10 seconds. On top of this, the story was bad and uninteresting. There are better xmas HOG out there. Avoid this one.

This is "Hints the Game" Christmas edition. I used that little Hint snowman so much. The leaps of logic in the puzzles, along with the tiny hit boxes on objects makes for a very frustrating game. One of the hidden object puzzle objectives is out of order; it says to tie a tie, but it's really breaking a key out of an ice block, and then the last objective is to tie the tie. Hint the Snowman helped me figure that one out. At least I got to ride out on a time and space altering horse.
