Samantha Swift and the Golden Touch

Short version: 68% Like its predecessor, Golden Touch is an exciting cartoon treasure hunt adventure in the form of a cute hidden object game.

Cannot recommend, broken game. Normally I put some time into the pros and cons for a game, but this simply doesn't run properly in Win10. The discussions page has a thread from 2014 about this issue.
