This is a really fun and cute adventure game lite. There are very few hidden objects, and what there are are organic to the game, no lists of random things to find in a busy scene. You switch between two characters who are trying to escape a castle. Another neat thing is the built-in hint system that gives you graduating levels of help. It's quite short, though--I was about half done by the end of the one-hour demo.

I was going to post about this one, too, Jen. It was nice not having hidden object scenes, and it was fun changing between the two characters. It took me a couple of hours to finish, mostly because of the bridge lock puzzle, which took me a while to figure out, and because I left the game several times and forgot what I was supposed to be doing. :-? (Nothing new there.) It is a good one, though, with a real ending that's not a cliff hanger.

Thanks for the heads up - this was one that looked attractive. I'll make a note of it for when I'm next is casual game mode!

Just started playing this - it is fun and easy to play. Shame if it's a touch short, but I needed a game to fill in while I wait for others to arrive. Thanks for the recommendations!
