Be careful with random clicking as penal system is notable for its severity! Too many useless clicks make your mouse pointer spiral for a few seconds. Besides your hint juice, which is always seen at the screen will drain, immediately.

Certainly, it is far from being a yardstick by which the hidden object genre should measure itself. Overall, it deserves a lot of good words as there is nothing annoying, frustrating or boring. On the contrary, the game has nice clues, an intriguing storyline and variety things to do. Have fun!
