The story is generally considered average, with some reviewers noting its departure from typical hidden-object game narratives, which adds a bit of appeal. However, it suffers from poor transitions and lacks cohesion, often feeling like a cliché romance aimed at a specific audience. While it may not satisfy those seeking a deep or action-packed storyline, it can still provide enjoyment for players willing to overlook its shortcomings.
“The story is, at least, different from the standard hidden-object fare, which makes a change and adds to its appeal.”
“Has a map to aid getting around, highlighting where you are and areas you need to go in the storyline.”
“In between scenes are poor and the story isn't well stitched and doesn't glue everything together.”
“The story is chick-flick/romance clap-trap for teenage girls and lonely women, but if you can look past it you'll have some fun.”
“Most puzzle/hidden-object games have a recurrent story based on ghosts, pirates, or both.”
