Secrets of the Middle Ages

I'm really on the fence with this game, and it can be completed under 1 hour. The graphics are cute and well drawn, the objects identifiable and (perhaps too) easy to find: they are always displayed fully. The game consists of 4 scenes, each containing the same objects but arranged differently. You get 3 hints per scene. There are no misclick penalties, so you can drag the scene (holding down the mouse button) in a perpetual circle, in either direction. The music is relaxing but, unfortunately, in a very short loop.
