Off The Record: The Art of Deception HD - A Hidden Object Mystery 9+

I too had problems with owl game. Then I deleted and reinstalled. Seemed to fix the problem. I had bigger Issues with figuring out how to use some items since there seemed to be no logical association to their actual placement. The characters often did stupid things for no good reason. The game often slowed way down when switching scenes. All in all, definitely not the best I've played and don't recommend buying.

I do enjoy this game but cannot get past the owl mini game. I've been using the guide, just to make sure I haven't missed anything getting to that point. What happens for me is, when I put the note pieces together I do not receive the directions sheet. What happens is, I'm supposed to select the note and it's supposed to turn over and have directions on the back, I think. Instead, what I get is the map, which I don't need until after completing the owl mini game, and that's when I should receive the map so I can use the hang glider and map to move on through the game. During the owl mini game, the guide shows that the various objects (tower, etc) will glow when you have the viewer placed correctly. Using the exact instructions in the guide to move along with the viewer, nothing ever glows, and nothing is clickable. Please fix this and send out an update! You will have a lot more happy gamers!

I saw all the 1 star reviews & wanted to give a more positive review because from my experience, this is not a one star game.
I purchased the full game and have played it through until the end, including the bonus game. I found no glitches and no problems playing the "owl game".
I'm happy to support games that are about "real people" &/or realistic situations because they are so few and far between. I'm so sick & tired of the monsters & supernatural games that are everywhere. I find them childish & have a hard time playing something that's so implausible.
