Entertaining Hidden Object Game
This was the first hidden object game I played, & I thoroughly enjoyed it, got me hooked on the genre LOL.
It has a nice combination of hidden object, puzzles & adventure components. The map is a real asset, & limits the back-tracking & repetitious movement between scenes as you can just jump to a particular area. The graphics are hand drawn & while some people seem to have problems with type of graphic, I enjoyed them, & found them to be generally crisp & clear. The only negative, was some of the acting in the voice overs was a bit 'average', but for me, in no way detracted from the game.

Mystery of Mortlake Manor
This is a game that all other games should be measured by. It has it all, beautiful graphics, haunting score, memorable characters and an engaging plot. As if this were not enough, it allows you to play as a male or female character and tailors the voice over accordingly. Good variety of puzzles in addition to clearly rendered hidden object scenes. This was the first hidden object game I ever played and it got me hooked on the genre. I have played dozens since but I still love to revisit the Manor!

Delightfully Different
The thing that makes this game stand out for me is the unusual graphics style. It gave it a unique flavour and added a kind of "arty" feel. LOVED what they did with the bad guy. He was seriously spooky.
The story is your typical "summoned to spooky manor" line, but was a little different in that it had alternate versions of same rooms. We see a bit of that nowadays, but I still find it refreshingly fun.
I enjoyed many of the puzzles, particularly the unique rune puzzles. Again, fun and different.
This game doesn't compare to many of the top rung games, but has its own style and is in a class of its own.
I've already played it 3 times, and know I'll be back there again.

This is a great game
I really enjoyed playing this game. It was truly excellent on several levels. The complexity was great - have to find crystals, book pages, keys, machine parts that all combine to form a larger more complicated plot. The interactive map that let's you track your progress and determine where you have active tasks available is the best I've seen yet on any BF game. You can even jump to a location by clicking on the location within the map. The story is interesting if a little predictable. The playing time was quite long! It took me several sessions over several days to complete it. I really liked how different locations had three versions - dismantled, dark and reconstructed so even though you were visiting locations more than once the scenery and tasks were quite different. The hidden object scenes were well done with some easy and challenging objects to find. I had to use thints more than once which by the way were very helpful unlike some other games. These were interspersed with mini-puzzles that were intermediate in difficulty and not ridiculously hard. The mini-puzzles were also quite varied from Match 3s, rotating puzzle rings, string detangles, gear connections etc. The ONLY thing that was sub-par on this game were the voice overs. They were pretty lame but the great thing is once you read the text you can click anywhere on the screen and voices go away so you are not forced to listen to them. The graphics are beautiful. The music is subtle and neither distracting nor annoying. This is now my new favorite game. I'd strongly recommend it - well worth the money!

Enjoyable game but...
This game was fun and entertaining, however...
I didn't mind the cartoon graphics at first, but when I went to play it again they were bothersome. Maybe that's because I have since played some games with really great graphics. From the beginning I found the voice overs particularly annoying and began clicking through them soon after starting the game. The HOs were average, and the puzzles fairly easy although I did enjoy some of them. I did enjoy the demon, he was very cool. The map was helpful but keep popping up when you changed locations which I also found somewhat annoying.
I also experienced a delay while playing which made me think I had done something wrong. So keep clicking.
In spite of all this I did enjoy the game as it was different and entertaining; however, if I had to do it again I would only buy as the DD.
With the right graphics and voice overs this game would get a 4 or 5 rating, but for now I can only give it a 3.
I would recommend this game for beginners or someone who wants something a little different from the norm.

And now for something different
I bought this game for 2.99 and wasn't expecting much. When the game started and I saw the graphics, I wasn't impressed...but wow! I had so much fun playing this game. Lot's of puzzles and layers to this game. I loved going back and forth between the real world and the shadowy world. The puzzles and HO's are pretty simple, but the storyline more than makes up for that. It is well worth your time.

It was nice to be challenged but not frustrated!
I'm fairly new at playing hidden object games on my MAC so get in trouble often. I loved this game. I played the easy game and never (well, not often) got in trouble as the game let me know where I still might want to check out another spot or back to an old one as well as areas that are complete. I sometimes can't figure out how to get from point w, back to point f; especially if i slept in between sessions. It didn't tell me what to look for, just as there was an area i had not explored or might want to look at again or the area is completely cleared.
The mini games were as challenging as always. the game always recognized my solution.
The graphics are great! o, this is not to say easy...but if you do have to get a hint, you feel like such an idiot for not seeing it! i only had to go to the walk through once when i could not figure out what was wanted on one of the mini games. THAT IS A RECORD! ALMOST A MIRACAL! i never had to restart the game because i couldn't get back to missed section. i don't mind having to restart a game...that part of the game but it was lovely not to have to.
I am no spring chicken and play these games to keep my brain active. i love to put jigsaw puzzles together and finding objects has helped me do those faster. my mom was joy filled when she found solitaire on the net. were she alive, i think i would have gone down and spent a could of days getting her involved by first playing the game together and then gradually leave it more and more to her. she would have loved it.
I hope to find more games by these designers who made a game for the casual player as well as the expert players.

I really thought I would like this game, and I wanted to, but...
There are way too many flaws, and the story line is not interesting enough to overlook all the flaws. I have only played the demo. From what I have seen, this game was more frustrating and irritating than fun.
I don't really like comic book style graphics for starters. To have the HOS in comic book style, while the rest of the scenes are a mix of comic book style and beautifully drawn graphics, just makes me feel this game was not well thought out, and is having an identity crisis. It appears that the developers were arguing over which style to use, and came up with this mess as a compromise. Had this game been beautifully drawn throughout, as clearly the devs have the ability to do, I may have been able to overlook other flaws.
The voice overs are not done well, at all. I have no idea why the devs would use the voices they did, when they are obviously awful....especially the raven. It is SO not believable, obviously fake, whiny, high pitched, annoying, and grates on the nerves...like nails on a chalk board. I don't want to listen to that all the time, and the raven is the one who helps you throughout the game. The human character's voice overs are too slow, and seem to slow the game down. I really like games with voice overs, but these detract from the game, in a major way...this game would have been better entirely without voice overs.
The cursor is another problem. It is touchy. The areas of interest are not identified in some instances. Also, there are items you need to pick up, that are very TINY, dark, and blend into the background. For these reasons, you need to move the cursor over the entire screen, inch by inch, so that you don't miss anything, or use the hint A LOT. The cursor changes to a hand, etc., but blink and you'll miss it. You need to use tiny movements with the cursor in order to get it to change in the right area. That wouldn't be so much of a problem if the cursor didn't LAG after every click.
Most of the HOS are greyish, or the whole scene is of the same color. The HO are, for the most part, TINY and therefore difficult to see, when all the same color. Some are not drawn well, nor identifiable, as they are drawn in the comic book style. Also, there are multiples of the same type of object in a HOS, and you have to find one in particular, so it's a matter of finding which tiny object they want. For example, a watch. There are a couple of different types of watches in the HOS - Pocket watches, wrist watches, clocks, etc. You have to click on all of them, or use a hint to find which specific ONE item they want you to find.
The puzzles at least, were creative, easy, and fun, once you figured out what you needed to do. If you can't figure it out on your own, you MUST us a hint. There is no other way of getting info on how to complete a puzzle, unless you end the game and find a walkthrough. The way this game is designed, it seems to assume that you know info, when you haven't found the info yet...like you are supposed to be able to read the devs minds. It's just not well designed, and can be confusing.
I got a slight feel for the story line, however, after playing the demo, I'm not hooked. The story comes too slowly for me to understand anything in an hour trial. I'm still lost and confused about it. I know it involves magic, crystals, demons, and portals, but beyond that, there's no real purpose. I have no idea the whos, whys, whats, or hows of this story line...not even a little bit, to keep my interest. I do know there is a lot of busy work, and running to and fro.
I didn't care for this game at all, and I don't believe that it is even worth the DD price. It has potential, though. If it were refined, and better developed, it would probably be a really good game. As always, try before you buy!!

Fantastic!
This was one of my first hidden object games and I must say I really ejoyed it!
The hidden object scenes are well done and the objects fairly easy to find. Navigation around the mansion can be difficult and there were times that I wasn't sure where to go next. The graphics are good and there are some eerie moments that add to the enjoyment. The storyline is very good and it was one of those games that are addictive and you dont want to turn it off!
The puzzles are good and range from easy to quite diffcicult! I wish all HOG were like this one.

Stylish, solid game
Everything about this game is good quality. It seems some people actively dislike the graphics style but I found it a bold choice and very characterful. It is obviously done by people who know what they are doing and made a choice to have a recognisable visual style. The extra flourishes, such as swirling energies when getting a key, are really pleasing.
The only thing about it is that the level of challenge is a bit too easy for many adults. I bought it on special offer and could not fault it for the price.
