Hotel Ever After - Ella's Wish

Short but sweet. For the price, I think it is a little too short. Difficulty for me is nonexistent. Story is fun. It maybe quite cliche but it got me playing through all the levels and I am quite excited for the sequels. It's a great time waster. :)

I love the games that this developer puts out, but this one is just not nearly as polished as it should be. The concept is interesting and the story has so much potential. It's sad, really, that the execution seems so rushed, yet nothing is ever explained. Granted, I haven't completed the game (got through 38 of 60 lvls), so I don't know if it gets infinitely better towards the end or not, but so far it has been a mess. Cutscenes that doesn't resolve anything and ends abruptly, character designs messing up (default shirt and gala-dress mixing together), broken minigames that doesn't give all of the hearts that you should get, thus decreasing your score... It leaves a lot to be desired and I honestly think that it's a shame, because it had the potential to be an awesome title like the Delicious-, Fabulous- or Heart's Medicine-series.

I liked the game personally but the ending was so lazy. It leaves a ton of questions unanswered. There is no challenge mode or anything for after you complete the game. It isn't worth the $12.99 price.

A pretty nice TMG. Its rather short and repetetive in the gameplay, and there seems to be a bug in the lobby, but still its a nice game. The graphics are nice and the style of the cutscenes is really nice. Im curious if ther will be a sequel or maybe even a prequel to this game, because the ending is pretty open. I can recommend this game, but better buy it on sale.

I am a fan of these types of games. This one in particular was pretty short. The story was cute but the shifts in characters from scene to scene was frustrating for me. First they love you, then they hate you, then they love you. Poor character development. Most of the levels were way too easy and then there is one that is impossible even after unlocking everything and going back to try and do it later, which left me one diamond short of completing every level 100% and unlocking all items, frustrating, but not the end of the world as I still beat the game. I hope for a sequel at some point.

I'm a big fan of this type of game and have played quite a lot of them. This one is just OK. You cannot change difficulty levels and there are no achievements to try for. There are 60 total levels but the game feels really short. There are a lot of social media elements which is ok except I found having to text other characters in the middle of work very annoying. I got this on a big sale and I would suggest waiting for it to be at least 50% off or better if you're still determined to play. 5.5/10

The story is good, if there's maybe a little too much of it, but this game is not up to the quality I would have expected from GameHouse. The game play shifts from much too easy (most of the time), to much too difficult in a few of the mini games they spring on you. There are glitches sometimes, where you click on something and it doesn't register. The animation is a little rough. I got bored and didn't finish the game. I don't normally leave reviews, but I have purchased every Delicious Emily game on PC, and a few of them multiple times for Mac and on mobile, and I wanted to make other people aware that this game is not in the same league as Delicious Emily or Fabulous Angela. For me it's usually a no-brainer to spend money on a GameHouse game, but I wont be doing that again before looking through reviews. I would love a new Delicious Emily game for PC, but I've read that Emily's story is only going to continue in a mobile "match 3" game. That's very disappointing because those games are my favorite time management games of all time.

Long awaited game to get, I recommended to buy and collect. I like it because not short and it has many chapters. Dislike: I will get back to this. Personal opinion: Hotel renovation + play hotel manager life and game. What not to love, you have balance love and work except they don't give you free reins on hotel management in game, force follow the story format, in RPG where player has sit there and watch events unfold. I was thinking if I was in her seat I take breather, and come terms she should considered maybe the guy who was interested in her family clock was probably better guy then poet. You do get lot more bonuses if you do 3 to 4 star achievements. Unlike delicious and other games I had played there no bonus rewards? This game intrigues me more.

Game is nice in general. I can recommend it. + I liked mini games, big variety of them - even "fruit ninja" style + cut scenes are different than usual - I really liked the art in them + story might be cliche but I liked fairy tales references There are few minuses: - If you're NOT a fan of social media, you might not like it cuz in game everything goes around them, characters are focused on likes, making photos, posting them, checking text, reviews, basically they're always on the phone - no achievements - neither on steam or game itself - only 3 locations - even if you're jumping in a story from location to location (so it's not that boring) you only play on 3 places - lobby, bar and office - no polish letters in poping-up text like "szybka obs[]uga" (fast handling), "nie[]le" (great) and others Also - don't cheat on people. ~~[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44342408-Sanctuary-for-Strange-People/]Check my curator's page![/url]~~

Since this game did not have any achievements, I played this offline for the most part. Gamehouse has a winner with this game. I love the time management and the fact that you are switching stations throughout the chapters. You are not stuck on one store for 10 stages. The storyline is a like a typical modern day fairytale. It has your Cinderella, evil stepmother, the adoring family that gets mad at you and then makes up with you. It is definitely worth buying. A couple things to note. There were a few times during the game that the character got stuck doing a task and I had to restart the stage. Another time one of the stages did not load all of the "bonus" items I was supposed to find so I had to redo that stage too. Other than that, this is a good one to play.

The concept of this series is definitely very enchanting and magical. I honestly enjoy the development of Ella’s character, such as how she started to stray away from her original path while she was trying to protect this hotel since it is incredibly important to Ella. So it is understandable when she did something which I personally would not approve of. I also loved the idea of how Ella treating the whole staffs like a true family, and how the staffs reciprocate this beautiful feeling as well. Not to mention, the soundtracks and the songs are pretty catchy as well. The mini-games are also very refreshing, so I never got bored of serving my guests for hours - it also fits the gameplay very well. Gameplay control wise is perfectly fine. While I absolutely love the concept of this series, I sincerely believe that this series could be further improve in term of cinematic animation cut-scenes. The cut-scenes seem to be a very low resolution, as it was quite blurry on my monitor. Moreover, the animation seems not to be executed well in the actual in-game graphics as when the characters moved to another position, it looks as if their feet were floating around on the floor. Despite the flaws stated above, this is still a fine game to play. While I didn’t agree with every action Ella made during when she was strayed a little bit from her original path, I am satisfied with the outcome and resolution of this game has to offer in the end. Without spoiling anything, there is a cliffhanger in the end which may make you crave for the next season of this series. Overall, I am pretty excited to see what the next season of this series will have to offer. I'm looking forward to the next one. Cheers!

[i] My Experience [/i] I have to agree with the other reviewers here. Ella's Wish does not meet the quality standard of GameHouse's usual fare. First off, things just seem a bit buggy. On one occasion, the level challenge (create a special cocktail in the bar) bugged out because I stopped mixing the drink when I was too close to finishing. On another occasion, I wasn't able to click on the cat in the office to take a picture. In addition, there were multiple times when I would click a guest (especially one of the "influencer" guests) and the click wouldn't "take." Secondly, I just couldn't get into the story. The "curse," the irredeemably evil step-mother, the mysterious Prince Charming... I don't know, maybe I'm just dead inside. Perhaps I should've expected these aspects going in, but the story was just very simple. Also, [spoiler] who doesn't insure their property?[/spoiler] Lastly, the game has no achievements. This isn't that big of a deal, but I have come to expect them from these GameHouse time management jams. I would recommend most of the other GameHouse games before this one - Heart's Medicine, Unsung Heroes, Amber's Airline, even Dr. Cares. I like the way that Ella's Wish integrates social media into it's mechanics, but this isn't enough to redeem the game.

A cute little time management game, I especially loved the fairytale aesthetic. I play a lot of time management games and didn't find this one much of a challenge but it was still worth the buy in my opinion. It is rather short as I beat it in about 5 hours but I was playing nonstop. I only wish it was a little longer.

Unfortunately, this game missed the mark for me. GameHouse usually delivers quality, but this game was unpolished and buggy. A shame, because the story, while incredibly predictable, is kind of fun.

Just a mobile game... Bad graphics, bad mini games

freezes up after certain levels and wont let you continue any further.

Pretty style, meh story
