Good hidden object/adventure fusion
This is an engrossing hidden
object/adventure mixture in which some objects found must be used by the
player in order to move ahead in the game. The hidden object portions
are as good as any I've seen, in that all the objects are large enough
to see but hidden well enough to be challenging. There are also
mini-games to be played from time to time.
Many HOG games tend to
be quite short such that nearly the entire game can be played within a
free trial period, but such is not the case with this one. I thought it
was a good length. If you need help to figure out what to do next, the
game has a very good hint system. Another problem with typical HOGs is
that they are often so easy as to be completely boring, but again, that
is not the case here.
The game kept this middle-aged casual gamer
engrossed for long enough to be worth the money. There appears to be a
slow progression in HOGs toward adding more "adventure" style puzzles, a
very welcome change. A game has to be outstanding to get a 5 vote from
me, so I gave it a 4. Other games in this mixed genre include Mystery
Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst (which is a 5 game), the recent
Department 42 (a 4 game), and the Magic Encyclopedia games (a 5 game).
If you get stuck, walkthroughs are available online.
Great but short
I bought this game based on
the fact I enjoyed playing the free demo and that the game had gotten
good reviews (both on this site and elsewhere). I wasn't disappointed in
the beauty of the game nor the scare factor. The scenes are beautifully
rendered. It is a spooky, creepy game as well, and there were a few
times the game made me jump in my seat. It is also a nice mix of hidden
object and puzzle games. However, I did have some minor technical
difficulties with the game slowing down and almost freezing at points.
And my biggest complaint is that it was incredibly short! There are only
three changes in location. The story is not well-developed, due in part
to the game's length. If they had added more to the story line and
added additional locations it would have been much better.
Overall
- fun, but not worth the money unless you can find it for about half
what it's listed at on Amazon.
Too short
Loved this game. Was super
fun but way too short. I finished it in under a couple hours. :(
