Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
TL;DR version: The positives are: Hidden Object Game, great storyline (so far), available on multiple platforms (but you're locked to the one you've started the game on, non-transferable to i0S/Facebook), good music, lots of different puzzles, additional themed quests, interesting modes.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
If not for BS store mechanic and _numerous_ gameplay distortions it forces onto game it would be a solid hidden object game with quite good challenges and maybe a decent, if poorly translated, story.
11 of 232 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It has great atmosphere, good looking and fitting graphics, well chosen moody music, an intriguing storyline, good pacing, and an assortment of activities (mini games) to pursue and complete.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
All wrapped up in a massively confusing interface that makes it basically impossible to know how to progress.
