Dark Parables: The Exiled Prince [Collector's Edition]

This is Dark Parables #2, which is very loosely based on the Frog Prince with a mix of many other fairy tale elements.

Once again we get hidden-fragment scenes rather than hidden-object scenes. And once again they are not very satisfying. I found it annoying that sometimes the color of the fragment didn't match that of the cue.

However, other aspects of the game are improved enough that I can recommend it this time around. The game map is more expansive and more varied and the story and characters are pushed more into the background. This allows the adventure to breathe. The result is a fairly challenging point-and-click adventure taking place in a large, gorgeous drawn area. I found it quite engaging.
