The game's story is widely criticized for being minimal, nonsensical, and lacking depth, with many players noting that it feels more like a series of disconnected hidden object scenes rather than a cohesive narrative. While some appreciate the voice acting, it does not compensate for the absence of a compelling plot, leading to a sense of boredom and repetition. Overall, players seeking a strong story are advised to look elsewhere, as the game primarily focuses on gameplay mechanics rather than storytelling.
“The storyline and voice acting are okay; it's the way you unlock new modes and do the same or similar rooms in different ways that make it interesting and fun.”
“Actually one of the best I've played so far, because I really don't like those pseudo-story fairy-tale run-around hidden object and point-and-click crossover games.”
“Good voice acting which drives the story makes the game feel alive.”
“But now I realize that a cheesy story is better than none at all, which feels like the case with this game.”
“There is basically no story to the game; it's just a series of hidden object scenes that you want to finish as soon as possible.”
“The story is nonsensical and lackluster.”

The gameplay is characterized by repetitive mechanics and frequent interruptions from bonus rounds, which detract from the overall experience. While the game may appeal to newcomers due to its decent price and length, veterans may find it lacking in innovation and engaging content. Despite its dated graphics, the gameplay remains functional, though it suffers from a flawed concept and excessive hint usage.
“That's not saying that it's a gorgeous game, it definitely comes off as old with dated graphics, but not to the point where it hinders the gameplay.”
“If you go into it for the gameplay and not the plot, it's not that big of a deal.”
“A veteran probably won’t find anything appealing in it, since it uses the same mechanics as the first part released in 2008, but for newcomers, it may be an excellent starter game with a decent price/length ratio.”
“Biggest moan; the bonus rounds are too frequent and interrupt gameplay.”
“The gameplay, however, is bogged down with a flawed concept and way too much repetition.”
“If this game at least had Steam achievements, then it might be worth the effort to slog through the boring gameplay in order to grab some easy achievements.”
