Have fun and learn a little about Poe
I enjoy E A Poe stories so
this game caught my interest. It was entertaining all the way through.
The premise of helping Poe "move on" by solving his murder leads you to
seek-and-find in places that are part of some of his written stories and
those characters as well as in graveyards and places involved with his
death. Fun spookies happen along the way but not bad for this grandma or
the grandkids. The graphics are light enough that seeking and finding
is not hard for the old eyes. It's a small thing, but I was entertained
by it, that the "skeletal hand" that is your pointer is animate; if you
place it in an area to move to next frame "the fingers do the walking"
and if you need to look at something closer an eye ball appears next to
the hand and looks around; also for all actions needed such as solve a
puzzle the hand changes color as well. There is a way to collect extra
hints in each place you investigate, which is good. But you must be
careful with ramdom clicking around or a raven takes your hints and a
mean kitty takes its place and no hints are available until it leaves
and the raven brings your hints back. Mini puzzles/problem solving
aspects are not timed and can be skipped if needed. There's a jounal
that keeps you up on your case and hints you to your next assignment. It
was a fun casual game I'd recommend.
A
great hidden object game
I enjoyed playing this hidden
object game. It is mostly hidden object, yet there are puzzles and the
need to use inventory items to reveal other hidden objects. The graphics
are clear and the story is somewhat interesting, although can easily be
bypassed without diminishing the gameplay. The hint system is great.
You can click on the name of an object to see a sillouhette of it in a
lantern or use a hint to see exactly where the object is hidden. Some of
the parts of the game take place in France and then repeat again in New
York along a parallel plot line. I found that a little tedious. It was
an easy game, nothing too challenging, and my 8 year old enjoyed playing
along with me. It took us about 5 hours to complete this game. It is
just macabre enough to be creepy, but not really scary. The only reason I
couldn't give it five stars is that I have recently played some much
better games, including a new game by the same company: Midnight
Mysteries, the Salem Witch Trial -- which was FANTASTIC. I would also
recommend Mystery Case Files, Dire Grove.
Its just OK
I really like Edgar Allen Poe
and his writings so I was hopeful when I saw this game. It was way too
easy to play, too short and they practically made your choices for you
in solving it. Items were not hidden at all and the graphics were quite
sad. I played it, finished it and then said,,,is that all??? Very
disappointed. It would be fine for a 9 year old, maybe.
