To start off this game's story is incomplete, the sequel is not on Steam but there are two other games you can get from another platform. I'm quite surprised this is not published under GameHouse although it is a GameHouse series.

Primrose Lake is a mystery Time-Management game, you play with multiple characters but the main story is about two girls, Jessica and Jennifer. One day Jessica was driving down and noticed a girl in a bridal outfit standing by the road, she asked to be picked up and drove anywhere, clearly bailing on her husband-to-be. The girl is named Jennifer and she is a split image of Jessica. Surprisingly both of them share the same family name, Carlyle. They arrived at Primrose Lake, to Jessica's Cafe where you'll start playing and serving people, unknown to Jenny everyone in this place has a secret, some of them are even dark.

The gameplay is like any time management from Gamehouse, you stock items, serve people and try to achieve an extra mission in each level. You also collect gems to renovate a garden. The nice addition is the family tree, the more you learn about the village, the more people will show up in the family tree.

The new addition to the game is the investigation levels, it is not counted among the 60 main levels, but they are an extra step to learn more about what is going on. There is one bugged achievement related to the investigation but in the discussion board, they discovered how to fix it.

Pros:
+Beautiful graphics.
+Playing with multiple characters.
+Good story but incomplete. (There are two more released games but not on Steam)
+Interesting Characters.
+Good soundtracks.
+Steam achievements.

Cons:
-Incomplete story.
-Needs custom mouse cursor (Sometimes you can't see the default small system cursor when the stage is busy)
-No steam cloud.

The suspense of this game is high, every time you finish a level the story becomes darker and makes you think of different outcomes, but what I suspected it didn't happen. As what I said the story is not done yet, hopefully, they'll bring the second and third games to Steam one day.
