Simplistic game mechanism kills the nice idea behind the story

If - like me - you don't know what "casual game" means, maybe you should try a freeware one first.
I liked the idea behind 3CTM and believed the hype and bought it. It's not expensive, but I regret it.
The gaming experience is like that: word riddle, another word riddle, a final one, then comes the puzzle. This repeated 3 times for each card in a level, then a final level puzzle. Same procedure level after level. Nothing moves except the tiny videos with incredibly bad sound - the girl Jess speaks like she has no front teeth. After every 3 word riddle puzzle sequence she says something which invariably starts with "I remember". In the end you get one of 3 possible, very short good bye videos.
The bottom line is: there is no movement, no drama, no action, no excitement. As an adventure fan I felt so disappointed.
I have nothing against low budget productions but here you have the fun content of an evening of scrabble with a deaf senior.
