The game's story is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying its whodunit style reminiscent of Agatha Christie, while others criticize it for being convoluted, predictable, and poorly executed. Many found the narrative engaging with intriguing twists, but others pointed out issues with coherence, pacing, and an anticlimactic ending. Overall, while the story has its entertaining moments, it often falls short due to weak character development and a lack of logical progression.
“I really like murder mysteries and I found the story kept me extremely interested throughout.”
“The storyline is not the usual murder mystery, as there are some excellent plot twists or red herrings, along with just a hint of humor.”
“The captivating storyline is clever and cunning... a big thumbs up!”
“The story lacks coherence and brims with illogical coincidences, and the ending is anticlimactic.”
“The plot makes no sense whatsoever, and no one in the story acts like a real person (very common for this kind of game).”
“Even with the low price, I would advise you to stay away unless you're okay with mediocre gameplay, horrible storyline, and cheesy acting.”

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the high-definition visuals and artistic presentation, particularly the use of 3D character models and the depiction of the game's luxurious setting. However, several users criticize the graphics as outdated or poor, noting that they fall short compared to more recent titles. Overall, while there are commendable aspects, many players feel the graphics do not meet modern standards.

“One thing that I absolutely appreciated about the graphics was that this is the first hidden object game I played that had true 1440p support.”

“The graphics let a lot to be desired and the hint response was annoying; it would have been a lot more interesting if you didn't have to go back and forth so much, and allowed the storyline to flow with the actual hints in each room.”
“The reason I give this a downvote is that the graphics are poor, and the quests for objects are too linear.”
“Graphics are outdated and the mini game controls are a bit wonky.”

The gameplay is characterized as a hidden object puzzler with point-and-click elements, offering a unique twist with picture wheels instead of traditional object lists. While the game provides a satisfying 2-3 hour experience with above-average puzzles and a decent variety of hidden object scenes, it is generally considered easy and somewhat mediocre, with criticisms aimed at the storyline and acting. Overall, it presents a refreshing alternative to typical hidden object games, though opinions vary on its overall quality.
“The game offers approximately 2-3 hours of gameplay, providing a satisfying adventure that can be completed in one sitting.”
“I liked how the hidden object gameplay did something different with the picture wheels instead of providing a list of objects to find.”
“This aspect of the game alone was very refreshing and less time-consuming compared to the repetitive formula that other hidden object games use for gameplay.”
“Even with the low price, I would advise you to stay away unless you're okay with mediocre gameplay, horrible storyline, and cheesy acting.”
“The story makes absolutely no sense, gameplay is mediocre, and acting is really horrible.”
“The only thing keeping the score up is literally only the mediocre gameplay and mediocre graphics.”
