Most of the five chapters involve separate subplots about various spirits of Snark Busters past do a ghost a favor and he'll help you out, too. When you pick one up-or when you click on an interactive area-a circlet will open up displaying the objects needed before such somethings as a doorway or useful tool is completed. Yet this time, except for an occasional broken mirror or frayed rope, the sought after objects are whole and in good condition. A user friendly hint button will nudge you where you need to go if you get stuck and the true widescreen-both in full screen and windowed modes-lets you better delight in all the sights.īecause the Snark is such a mischievous little bugger, dashing around disassembling all that he touches, there's plenty to search for here just as in the first and second Snark Busters games.

Outside of the photo focusing puzzle, all mini-games have a skip function. Or, select the "expert" level to forgo sparkles and to slow down the hint/skip timer significantly. Interactive areas will glimmer only after you discover them the first time. There's the fun of adventuring, discovering and a balanced mix of mini-games-sometimes easy, sometimes tricky-to keep gameplay dynamic. Navigation is a snap: follow the arrows to exit one scene and enter the next. To do so, travel through backwards worlds and interesting locales to get the picture that proves Nicolas did not steal that vile vixen's silly locket.

Catching the Snark is nice but catching Olivia Daffington in her lie is even nicer. Lucky for you, you get to tag along for the soaring third installment in Alawar's unconventional hidden object puzzle adventure series. As it turns out, these are just the skills to earn the savvy female protagonist a very prestigious invitation-the offer to join Snark Busters: High Society. She's very skilled at it such things you see. Naturally, Elizabeth sets right out to clear her beloved Nicolas of the crime-by climbing through second story windows, rifling through wardrobes and other, um, means of obtaining evidence of his law-abiding nature. There's something else she's good at, as she discovers the day Duchess Daffington accuses her fiancé of stealing. Elizabeth Hughes is a photographer, and she's good at it, too.
