Elena's Journal: To Atlantis

So the journey of Elena continued and it didn't disappoint at all, the follow up was really great and the new adventure of discovering Atlantis was fun as well. I loved the whole look of Atlantis and how Elena got to experience another amazing city with her visions, I enjoyed collecting everything to complete the museum and the achievements are pretty easy to obtain on hard mode. The story is great and I really like how everything is linked with the previous game, it's nice to have met Elena's adoption mom and how all the pieces fit together. I enjoyed having to experience the archaeology part with all the mini games in some of the levels and the whole adventure to get everything they need in the expedition. I am excited to see what the next adventure has in store for Elena and the cute gecko Zeno!!

this was so fun - i've played the angela's fashion game that is from the same publisher/developer and it's similar in mechanics, but this storyline was more interesting if you like time-management games, give it a go!

Starting on level 21, this game became unplayable for me (I'm on a Mac) because the screen is zoomed in too far and items that I need to click near the bottom of the screen are totally blocked by the HUD/tray. When I contacted GameHouse they said this is a known issue and they don't have a fix. This happens late enough in the game that Steam probably won't give you a refund, so be aware that you could be paying full price for 1/3 of a game. (I've experienced the zoom issue with other GameHouse games but the games were still playable even though the buggy levels were annoying to complete. This game was the first one that was zoomed in so bad that items were completely unclickable, making it impossible to play past level 21.) Hope this helps other players avoid the frustration I went through with this game!

Nice game. I like the art. I like the interface. You can choose easy, medium, or difficult. Similar to the Emily games, you serve customers, accomplish small tasks and click once per episode to find the animal: In this case a salamander (I think??) I like that the game clicks well. By that I mean, you can actually rack up tasks ahead of time. That really saves a lot of time. In a similar game I tried recently, each time you clicked something else, the action would stop and the avatar would go do that instead. Frustrating, and confusing. Being able to rack up tasks to do, allows other tasks to be clicked on at the same time. So you can fill a teacup or plan the next moments ahead and use strategy that way. The clicks also operate well in that you typically do not need to click multiple times before the avatar does the task. In a similar game, you'd (sometimes) click and click and it didn't work. You'd move on, thinking it was working, when it wasn't, which ruined any planned strat...
