    • “With cute and interesting people and animals, humorous clues, story lines connecting levels, moderate difficulty, rich buildings and props.”
    • “The campaign wasn't as well put together in terms of story, and a lot of the scenes were put together a little lazily, with plenty of spaces obscured by assets that should have been hidden when viewing interiors.”
    • “Unfortunately, the story is only used as an opening introduction.”
    • “The stories didn't interest me that much; they didn't feel like a story and just something that was added to explain why the next puzzle was there.”
