Part mystery, part puzzle and part RPG, but all fun.This game may be a bit graphics light, but in a web game this is not a big detriment. What matters if that the mystery is compelling (a real challenge for a PG game) and the puzzles make you think. If you want something that will keep you entertained for a few hours, and you don't mind having to think while you play check out Escape Rosecliff Island.

If you enjoy a Sims style title, this is worth a try. It puts you in the role of winery owner, and allows you to take a shot at running your own business (in this case a brand new winery) then try out this surprising and challenging title. You may find that keeping the grapes, and the customers happy is much harder then it seems. All in all it has a surprisingly sophisticated gameplay.
