Pretty standard HOG, liked it :)
If I understood correctly from the intro, protagonist is the same of Enigmatis serie. Am I right?

Not much to say, liked basically everything! :)
(I have yet to find a bad Artifex Mundi game.. although I avoid those with a low user reviews rating)
Got almost stuck a couple of times, nothing that a couple of tries or a short break couldn’t solve ;) Met also some nice variant to minigames, that is always nice to have variety \^_\^
One thing that I liked was that some hidden objects scene where you had to find parts to create a bigger object had the parts directly represented instead of the usual list with names. Handy if you aren’t fluent enough in english to know the name of every item they want you to find =P
There were also the classic scene with the list of items, don’t worry :)
(Actually, I don’t know which one of the two methods is better..)

You can 100% this in one playthrough. Despite this I managed to fail! =P (I don’t watch videos/guides before playing, I like to test myself and see how far I can go). This time I was very close! Missed achievements:
Find all secret bestiary cards and know all the creatures (There are 30 and they are quite visible.. even so, I managed to miss one. Assuming they unlock in order, it was somewhere in the middle of the game)
Read all the notes placed in the game (I was sure I had read everything.. turns out I missed one right at the end, in the very last scene. FML! )

Don’t know if I want to replay it to unlock them.. not at the moment, at least, as I have many others to beat first.
Defeating the backlog is more important than having good stats =P

I had no idea it was the same protagonist as the Enigmatis series, I guess I’ll finish the trilogy before I give this a try. If you liked the “find pieces of a bigger object” type of HoG, I recommend you play Nearwood. Not by Artifex but as good if not better. (Report coming soon as I played it this month)

I’m not sure about it, but they mentioned her success at Maple Creek in the intro, that’s why I’m guessing so.

Thanks, seen that last time it was bundled but I basically skipped it because it doesn’t have achievements =P
I’ll keep an eye on it :)

Yeah i won it on SG and delayed it because of the achievements thing too but then came around to play it and it’s really a cool HoG :)
