Yes BUT maybe get it on sale or as a bundle together with chapter 1.....
The game follows the same gameplay as the first chapter, a journal / book found by the girl, with 3 chapters inside (yes only 3 chapters but at a higher price than the first chapter....), with an extension of the stories of the characters in chapter 1, [spoiler]mainly grown up Alice, Christian, and Rudy, with little bits about Lian and Isa, oh and Emilie[/spoiler]
The puzzles in this one are a bit hard for me to be honest, like it wasn't like in the first game where if you looked and explore enough you'll find your answers, and is quite straightforward sometimes; in this one the puzzles are kind of, i don't know how to say, hmmm the solutions are not what will be commonly thought of by many i guess?
[spoiler] 1. the wooden chips on the shelf; the hints as to their placement are kind of obscure, and the symbol for the crown does not look like a crown at all to me, more like a tulip or flower 2. the planet alignments; one of them is ok, obvious, but the other two is not, like where is the hint that tells us which planet has to go which spot? the book tells which planets are involved but NOT their location, unless i missed the clue 3. the puzzle pieces; OMG i don't know if this is worse or the cooking one, the puzzle pieces have shapes that do not really corresponds to a complete square, like you can fit a corner of a puzzle piece that has a knob on top, so how are we supposed to know if the piece is in the correct spot?? sure we can figure out based on maybe the "theme" going on, but we don't really get clear hints on that either, how am i supposed to know the swiss knife fits with the bubblegum?? 4. the cooking puzzle; ok i think this part really gets to me, especially the tomato part, i did it for multiple times and couldn't figure out what i did wrong, and finally when i looked it up, you were SUPPOSED to CUT the KITCHEN TIMER WHICH LOOKS LIKE A TOMATO TOO AAAAAAAAAA[/spoiler]
The graphics, music, animations and attention to detail is still nice and amazing, i think my most favourite scene is where [spoiler]we have to get rid of the smoke-filled screen by extinguishing Emilie's cigarettes, to reveal the full photo; the smoke effect is cool![/spoiler], but the puzzles and the lenght of the game is not that great for me, i like the first game more to be honest...but it is a good continuation of the stories from chapter 1, we get to know more about the people in the family, and their problems
I hope chapter 3 will have more content, and more fun puzzles! 6/10
