Comments: Following on from Drawn: The Painted Tower, this was still fantastic. The artwork is spectacular, I love the characters and the nice backgrounds that flow along as you progress through the game. Sometimes it was hard to know exactly you were doing, but I managed all the same. The puzzles are relatively easy, with the last few becoming harder for me at least. This was more like an adventure game than a HOG and that makes it all the more fun for me.

Comments: This one was FANTASTIC! I am totally in love with this series of games, there is nothing like them out there and that makes these the best since MCF:Return to Revenhearst and the first Dream Chronicles. The only reason this one looses that .5 was mainly the movement. It kinda bugged me when you could move your mouse to the screen edge and it showed more of the scene. That's just annoying. And it took forever to get from one place to the other sometimes (but you didn't need to do it that often).

The artwork, as usual, was so beautiful. It's about a boy (most likely a young Franklin) that can paint magical worlds but gets captured by one of his own paintings: an evil Katsuka... I mean magician! He then is forced to paint worlds filled with darkness until you go to save him.

I also liked that through the whole game there was only 3 HO scenes, the rest is interactive adventure. Nice. The puzzles were also pretty good too, not too hard, not too easy. There were a lot of them but not excessive like Awakening. Enough to make it a game. lol. The achievements were also fun, I like extras like that. I tried hard to get them all but hey, wasn't really ever gonna happen when I actually looked and saw what they were.
