The graphics of this game are absolutely stunning; but sadly they're not enough to keep me playing. This might be better classified as a 'hidden object' game since the main mechanic is to find things. If you're lacking the patience, eagle eyes, or right way of thinking to find everything and to solve the puzzles along the way, you're in for catching dozens of mosquitoes per hint; if you need more than one hint, you will be clicking around the screen for a very, very long time to get anywhere.
If you love this type of game, you'll probably adore it. I didn't.
Welcome to the dark side of the future, chummer. It’s going to be a hell of a ride.

Works fine on Yosemite 10.10.3
I've managed to get this working by simply reinstalling the game through the MacGameStore application.
I did get a prompt saying that the game was already installed and did I want to overwrite, but continued.
Once installed, launch the game and allow the updated to be applied. It then worked flawlessly.
As the save games are stored in the cloud, they were not wiped out.
My assumption is, when I upgraded to Yosemite, something when a little screwy with the permissions, and this is why the previous work around of sudo running it from the terminal worked.
I've tried this on 2 independant iMacs and worked on both.
This is a fun, entertaining little adventure game! Characters are cute, some are funny, others are mean. Interesting story so far. Some puzzles are a little difficult, quite challenging at times.
For some reason, none of my gamepads are fully recognized now. I haven't even bothered to change my name for my profile, since every time I start a race, my car veers to the right, and on top of that, the game doesn't see half of my joystick input when I try to configure it. Virtual Programming support told me there was going to be an update, but I don't think the MacGameStore is going to recieve it any time soon. (OS X 10.9.5)
This is a very good strategy and if u in the genre you will like it. Still if u can grab it under 15$ it's fully worth its price, above that u should wait.
