Downloaded and installed just fine.

This game crashed and shut down about every three or four minutes. Once, it crashed so badly that it corrupted my user profile and I had to start over. Finally, I set compatibility mode to Windows 7. It still crashed, but not as often, and I was able to complete the game.

I'm using a one year old HP Envy 17 Touch screen laptop with Windows 11 Home. 16 GB RAM. 1 TB SSD, 750 GB free.

I've had similar problems with other Toomkey games. One crashed just after the opening cut scene every time. Had to uninstall that one.

Today's game is a very large file hidden object game in which the game may take a while to install, run the setup and get to / finish the installation process. The game tries to capture the spirit of Dia De Los Muertos which in short it means day of the Dead.

For those not familiar, it is traditionally celebrated by those of Mexican Descent but the origin of the holiday does not begin there from my understanding. I have gone to many celebrations and you can see beautiful painted skulls and custom altars with pictures up sometimes on card board celebrating the life of lost loved ones. Go see the movie Coco and you can see a beautiful example of the celebration of the holiday.

In the beginning of the game the young woman and man go to a village to partake in the celebration but then the young man tries to convince the young girl to go see the fortune teller and that is where your adventure begins although she thinks it was a bad idea to begin with.

The tutorial tells you the play mechanics of the game such as where your inventory is stored, how to work with areas that are zoomed in and also how to access your journal to see the story of the game thus far.

For those of you who are new to hidden object games you will be pleased to see a relaxed mode from within where the game gives you a better amount of time to find hints and so forth. And for those who are seasoned hidden object pros, a more difficult game is available.

If your game does not look right on the screen try playing with the aspect ratio setting to see if the game looks more proportionate on your computer. On my large 32" Monitor I noticed the game does not look proportionate centered or stretched, at least that's my observation.

Please note that some computers may have compatibility issues with custom mouse cursors which can lead to graphical glitches or sometimes computer crashing. If it happens turn the option off.

In general this game should keep you busy for a long time. And if you do have the time to get out and see these celebrations in your locale I highly suggest it. You can even buy materials at your own craft shop in order to build an altar for the occasion.

If you leave comments for me today I will most likely be out and about so I won't be able to respond immediately but do appreciate the nice comments left. Also if there are any inconsistencies of what I write here, please let me know as well.

Have fun with the game, I will be playing more later on this evening after the house duties are done.

Roookii, I need to add that I could not finish this game. After you make the poster, I can not place it on the table by the wizard. (not a spoiler...you will know that's where it goes.) It's near the end of the game...but still....
