This is an un-timed point and click adventure game with 2 game modes, plenty of hidden object areas, puzzles, an integral guide plus other extras and looks and feels much like the first game but is even better.The backgrounds and hidden object scenes are really well drawn with simple but nice animations and the entire game is a pleasure to the eye. Game play is also fluid with no delays between transfers.As is usual most required actions and interactions are obvious but not all and there is an integral strategy guide if needed. However, to access the guide, the game has to be fully exited each and every time as it's only available via the main screen.This has probably been done to encourage the player to try and work things out for themselves and to only look for help as a last resort.Interactive actions are also required within the hidden object scenes and some are quite innovative such as finding a knife to carve wood to get a wooden doll and using a pencil on paper to get a sketch. These tasks give the hidden object areas more depth and make them even more enjoyable than normal.The hidden object scenes and individual items are very well drawn and no picture is too overcrowded. A lot of the objects have been suitably disguised to ensure that their whereabouts are not immediately obvious but, with time and concentration, most can eventually be located.A lot of these scenes are returned to but not to search from a list. On occasion you will return to a hidden object area to reverse the process where previously collected items have to be returned to the scene but in their correct place which is another innovative and pleasant change. At other times the search is for multiples of the same item. There are interactive actions in these scenes as well.There are a limited number of hints available and they are accurate. As in the first game the number of hints can be increased by finding the two mirrors in each of the hidden object scenes.Apart from the usual object finding tasks there are also extra items to find and these appear as foggy shapes in the main scenes either as part of the scenery or belonging to the ghost of a character. These characters require their item to be found in order to be released. Clicking on the foggy shape provides a description of what they are.The mini-games and puzzles are really quite good. They vary in both style and difficulty and all can eventually be skipped if need be.Once completed the extra level is unlocked and it follows the story a little further with the same type of game play and puzzles. When that is finished the bonus content is released which consists of wallpapers and concept art.This is a great game to play and is of a reasonable length. The addition of extra aspects to the usual game play give it more range and depth than most games in this genre and show the designers spent a lot of time and money on it.Well deserved 5 stars.

same as above. The only thing is you can get the stategy guilde on this game if you get stuck.I like the hidden things in cupboards or where every they are.This game you put the things back where they should be.Good game overall. Plus you have wallpaper to put on your computer. at the end you see all the concepyt of the art,see the sketches.

Beautifully presented and interesting.You have to gather parts to complete the whole and then find out where they go.Sometimes you have to go quite a way back or forward,hence the title.Some interesting puzzles more than jigsaws and match two.I can recommend this for an interesting few hourw entertainment.

I liked this game even though I am not keen on hidden object games. The locations were good and the puzzles not too easy or too difficult either. Would recommend it to anyone who likes hidden object games

Entertaining game with several scenes and challenging minigames. Took several hours to complete and could be played again as random objects were used in the hidden object games.

As usual with Focus Collectors, very good value game. Usual amount of brain effort needed, so not too hard but thought provoking enough to keep you interested.
