Customer Reviews

Don't Miss This One! The designers of this sequel to "Ravenhearst" have reached a new plateau of excellence in the Hidden Object genre. "Return to Ravenhearst" is gorgeous, fun, challenging and delightful. Perfect for everybody from older kids on up. Way up. I am 79. You, as detective, return to the creepy old mansion, this time to free the souls of Rose Somerset and her twin daughters Gwendolyn and Charlotte from the clutches of the insane Charles Dalimar, murderer of Emma Ravenhearst. You had freed Emma's soul in the previous game, but she left behind her maid-housekeeper and the two little girls. Charles is kept alive by feeding off the souls of Rose and the children, even though they are dead. The souls cannot rest in peace because they are figuratively shackled to Dalimar. Their ghosts eerily appear, urging you on, as you journey through the game on your way to setting them free. The environments are superb, filled with special effects, such a flickering candles, leaves that practically fall into your lap and sullen, spitting raindrops that will set you shivering right in your computer chair. There's a marvellous bouncing Victorian trolley car, and everywhere raucously cawing crows, for in this game everything is engineered for atmosphere. One scene is of a ghastly bathroom with a shrieking mannequin in the shower and flies crawling all over the garbage littered everywhere. The mini-games are wonderful and you have to figure out how to open locks to various areas by solving a puzzle. They're clever, very imaginative and funny. If you absolutely can't figure any of them out, you can by pass them but they're too much fun to avoid unless you have to! There are many walkthroughs in Google if you get stuck. The music is excellent, and although the sarcastic comments that appear when you click on the wrong thing or get in any kind of clicking frenzy might annoy some, I found them funny and often appropriate. The Hidden Objects are diabolically well-camouflaged and even with your nose an inch from the screen, you're gonna have to work at finding them. A great evening's entertainment for the whole family if you can all get close enough, and somebody will frequently be yelling "There it is!" Don't know what a kazoo or a carabiner are? You will! You have to find all the objects or you can't move on, but there's a hint option. However, you have to wait a long time for the hint to rev up enough so you can use it. Enjoy! EXCELLENT combination of hidden object and puzzle solving I play a lot of adventure games, where you have to solve puzzles to proceed.(Examples: "A Vampyre Story", Sherlock Homes series, Agatha Christie series, Nancy Drew series, Still Life series, Syberia, etc) I love the brainwork, and often guesswork, involved. I just recently "discovered" hidden object games and have played several as a break from having to think too hard! "Return to Ravenhearst" is an incredibly fun combination of the two game types, with the added bonus that there is very little of the character conversations that can go on interminably in an adventure game. I had a total blast playing this game. I've often told people of PC games I've played with pleasure, but this is a game that I really recommend. best hidden object game BFG have outdone themselves with this game. The graphics, music, puzzles-all combined to make this one of the best hidden object games I've ever played. I like all the MCF games. Madame Fate is my favorite. The Hidden Expedition: Amazon is a favorite also. Granted, these are not games that you just look for hidden objects. There are numerous puzzles throughout the game that you solve also. I am getting very bored with playing the usual HO games. I find that some of them are a waste of money. Now, I look for a demo of a particuliar game and play it before I purchase it. Hopefully, that insures I won't be wasting my time and money. BFG studios have really succeeded in releasing some awesome games. MCF Return To Ravenhearst is one of them!!
