Ok so I downloaded this so I thought I'd share my impressions.
You have 5 files and can play the game in either english or french.
The game is supposed to be about restoring your late grandpa's garden to it's former glory, to do that you sell your grandpa's stuff. And boy, he was a hoarder! No wonder he died alone in a highly deteriorated house.
To make money you play a typical hidden object game, the objects you need to find are the objects your customers want to buy... All of them have a starting price of $30, all of them, from dead bugs to ancient treasures. If you make your customers wait to much, the price will drop $5 until it is worth only $15. You can manage up to 5 clients at the same time, but you can also limit the number by not collecting the previous client's payment (new clients won't appear until you collect the money). These end after you sell 20 items.
After that you can use the money to buy things for your garden. Some of these are interactive, but not much, you only select them from the menu and your butler (yup, your butler) will interact with it until you decide to do something else. The garden is nicely rendered and the only part of the game that makes use of 3D.
Upgrade your garden enough, and you'll unlock more lost-object areas to play in. I don't know if you can select them yourself, though. The few rounds I played were in rooms selected by the computer.
Sometimes other events happen, like a phone call, a newspaper, etc. I think these are the game's way tell the story.
Well, so far, I think that's all there's to tell about this game.
The gameplay itself works perfectly and objects are easy to look at unlike most other hidden item game options on the eShop (which are DSiWares), and the clients becoming impatient gives the game a hint of "time management game". Restoring the garden is not as interactive as I hoped it would be, but it is still pretty nice: it feels more like a really fancy progress screen that is nice to look at. You can even leave it alone and the butler will do things by himself a la sims and say things. The music is pretty nice too.
If you like the genre then this game will be fun, I can't wait to see what other garden items will be unlocked as I play.
