It doesnt matter! This game is as cool as ice! Our beloved canine, Elf, has returned looking as "doggone" cute as ever to help you advance your journey; Elf must be devouring natural and organic dog treats because he has still retained his youthful appearance after all of these years! The graphics, unfortunately, have a washed out presentation and are not very crisp or clear. Furthermore, the colors blue, purple, and white (obviously) are dominant throughout most of the scenes creating a redundant visual representation of the environment. This installment reminds me of the movie "The Thing" whereas the setting takes place at a lab in a snowy, stormy location with menacing creatures known as the Coldstalkers creating a nightmare for the inhabitants. They are unique creatures engineered to allow them to change their appearance to manipulate people and progress their hostilities. There are some fun elements in this game, such as using a scanner bling device to detect heat and other energy sources; you will use it to scan some areas to find multiples of symbols. There is the ability to customize your settings. The inventory is labeled, and items will require assembly. The teleport map has smooth transition; and in custom mode, it will indicate that there are objectives and tasks to complete. You can view your diary, collectibles, and achievements through the map as well. The HOS are fun and varied; several types are word lists with interaction, find the silhouette shapes, and collect pairs of items. In reference to the puzzles, this series has been reconstructed to include the same type of puzzle boards that are prevalent in the Mystery Case Files series; namely, Fates Carnival and Dire Grove. You work your way around from one mini puzzle or section to another until you have achieved the complete solution. Some other puzzles are skill based, such as when you must steer the snowmobile through the path at high speed avoiding obstacles or you start all over. You collect morphing objects in the locations, and morphing character statues in some. You also collect stars mainly in the pop-ups for a starry sky game in the extras. You also have the secret room in the extras where you replay HOS and puzzles in accordance with speed and accuracy - not my cup of tea. However, I love this series; and it never gets old - as Elf does not. Very enjoyable installment free of any glitches!
