Good artwork from Blue Tea although maybe not the best resolution - it'd probably look better on a tablet than a large monitor. The puzzles were not too challenging, the hidden object scenes were well drawn and decent although again, not so tough that I had to skip any. The level of challenge I think is good for a game like this - not so easy that you blow through everything in seconds but not so challenging you want to quit. Playing without hints and clues where to go it was still fairly easy to see what the next step to do was or what area to go to next. I think it's a decent game for a breather, just something to pull up and casually relax with. The bonus story homage to the Blue Beard opera was also kind of cute although a lot shorter than I was expecting. All in all though, a nice looking game with some nice hidden object screens and some decent puzzles.. This is another nice little HOG puzzle game from Big Fish.

All in all though, a nice looking game with some nice hidden object screens and some decent puzzles.. Generally a nice HOG game. Unfortunately quite some of the objects in the hidden object scences don't respond to clicking initially and others are simply not visible. However I do like that the parts you collect are useful items for the gameplay and not random nonsense. It is a HOG game worth playing if you like the genre. Not the best ever, but in the upper half. I bought it on sale.. I got this Game gifted from my Partner and I am very thankful for it \u2665First of all If you havent played any Dark Parables Games I recommend you to go back and play the first one as those games are meant to be played in Order.Dark Parables: The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide Collector's Edition comes with the Main Story which is around 3 and a half hours long and a Bonus Chapter which gives you another half to an hour. It also comes with Extras, such as Wallpapers, Music, Mini Games, Ingame Movies and Concept Art. The Voice Acting in this Game was once again rather nicely made and the Art Style was absolutely beautiful. I believe the Colours in this title, compared to the previous ones, have been even more vibrant.Once again you could not change the Resolution which was no problem whatsoever as it was by default widescreen and unlike in previous Dark Parables it was proper widescreen and not just a stretched image.Although you are not able to get Steam Achievements, this game does indeed come with some Trading Cards.One of my favourite Parts of the Dark Parables games are, how you can collect during the Game pieces which will, once all of them are collected, give you a little background Story, which to my disappointment did not get read to you by a guy but you rather had to read yourself. Regardless of this little let down I have noticed that you can click on the missing parables parts to find them and read the full background stories yourself, even after the game has been finished. I do not believe I have noticed this function before and is a newly introduced feature with this title!For the first time in the Dark Parables Series you can fast Travel. Personally I have it didnt bother me to much that you couldn't Fast Travel in the previous Games but I saw alot of people listening it as negative Point and I must admit after playing a Dark Parables Title with the Fast Travel Option, I dont want to be without it again!I also have seen for the first time in the Dark Parables Series ingame Achievements. Personally I did not really like them, as I am playing those Games for their Story Parts and the achievemnts, once you have unlocked them, wont go away unless you click the achievements tab.The Hidden Object Scenes were compared to the previous games rather easy, especially due to the higher resolution and the proper widescreen. Most of the Puzzles were also rather easy to finish and I had alot of fun doing them, however I found some of them challenging as well.In the previous Game you were able to get 3 Different Endings depending on which item you choose at the end, sadly this Game does not have such a function, which I would have loved to see.One of the Mermaids looks alot like Ariel, a Childhood favourite of mine, which made me even more excited to play this game and got me hooked immediatly into the story.All in all this Game is Fantastic! Although it has some features of the previous one Missing, at the same time it does have some new ones added to it and honestly the story and the Art Style is just lovely.I recommend this Game to any HO Fan and to anybody that loves a good Story.Here are my other Reviews for the Dark Parables Series:Dark Parables: Curse of Briar Rose Collector's Edition (Number 1)Dark Parables: The Exiled Prince Collector's Edition (Number 2)Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen Collector's Edition (Number 3)Dark Parables: The Red Riding Hood Sisters (Number 4)Dark Parables: The Final Cinderella (Number 5)Dark Parables: Jack and the Sky Kingdom Collector's Edition (Number 6)Dark Parables: Ballad of Rapunzel Collector's Edition (Number 7)Dark Parables: Queen of Sands Collector's Edition (Number 9).

The replay value for the game is low. I would recommend this game, but not at the game's full price value.. Hi: I just wanted to share how I feel about this incredible game. I am a huge steam powered user and purchaser of these games. Dark Parables has to be one of the best if not the best pc games I have played to date. It is just wonderfully done and fun and wonderfully colourful with a great storyline, mapping and hidden treasures. I really hope you make another one soon because I am a huge fan ! All the best.. This was a great game, I wish there were more games like it. I started playing this at night before bed and the calming scenery helped me relax.

(The Dark Parables series does have an overall series story arch which this game references. However, it is stand alone as it.) I highly, even passionately, recommend this game.Storyline: In 510AD the palace of the Alexandros, King of Prasino sunk beneath the ocean waves ending a decades long war with King Bluebeard of Kokkino. Centuries later the palace rises from the ocean depths causing a tsunami and a lethal purple tide. As the Fairy Tale Detective you have been tasked with discovering the reason for this occurance. Upon arriving you free a mermaid, Althea, one of the former King Alexandros's 5 daughters, cursed by the Sea Goddess, Thalassa for the father's betrayal and imprisonment. And meet a mysterious stranger who has the key to everything. Find out why the palace rose again, break the mermaid's curse, free the Goddess, and stop the purple tide - all in a day's work for the Fairy Tale Detective.Gameplay: A mixed combination of Hidden Object picture assembly, easy point and click, find and use inventory, and a variety of puzzles with a built-in strategy guide. Nothing overly hard and the sheer variety of things to do makes the gameplay smooth and effortless. The lock puzzles are logic "match" games and logic "mazes" (move a ball of energy from point A to point B without losing all the energy). There are sliders, picture puzzles, recipe, assembly, and a Master Puzzle (which is a puzzle with many smaller puzzles included). There is a skip option on the puzzles, and a hint feature. Also the inventory is interactive in some cases when assembly or disassembly is required.There is a interactive fast travel map which shows the location of things that need done and the chapter objective. (One of the few maps I actually use.) There are the 3 usual modes: casual, normal and hard. Though this game has a custom mode feature which allows the player to pick and chose how much or how little "help" they wish to receive while playing. Extra finds: 40 crescent moons, 20 morphing objects which are the parable story pieces, and 2 sets of "secret" extra finds - 6 teacups and 3 Big Fish Game Felix the Fish mascot. The 5 Parables tell pieces of the story line, a bit of back story and three tell the fate of the mermaid sisters Naida, Calliope, and Theresa. Which is pretty impressive considering each parable is only 4 pages long and about 100 words each.Extras: Lots and Lots. Bonus chapter which recalls the events just prior to the palace of Prasino disappearing beneath the ocean waves, and tells of Bluebeard, King of the rival Kingdom Kokkino. An extra game called collectibles, where the player goes back through every scene in the game to find a single item or object (easy and fun). Replay feature of all HO scenes and puzzles. Plus wallpapers, music, video, etc. Achievements: In-game only but there are Steam trading cards. The achievements are fun too and not the usual find everything in less then a minute variety. There is an achievement for idling, over-clicking and watching cutscenes. There is even one for watching the credits, which are really worth reading since they are so funny. So the big question: Is this game worth the price? Yes, and well worth FULL price. The game itself takes about 4-5 hours to play and all the extra gaming that can be done probably adds at least another 3-4 hours. So an 8 hour HO game is well worth full price. Big Fish Games is not known for putting their games on sale either, and this is less expensive then the price in their web store.. Great Hidden Objects game with a fun little storyline, Different difficulty levels to choose from and mini bonus games included in the Collectors edition. I've already played through twice and love it.
