Awesome
If you enjoy less HOG and more adventure this game is for you. I hope they come out with another real soon!

Good story line. I enjoyed this game very much.
Good story line kept me interesting. The game was just nice. Good balance of Hidden objects and puzzles. Puzzles weren't challenging but it made the game and story goes in good flow without stopping.
I liked this game very much. Recommended.

Death at Fairing Point : An Excellent Game!
I'm the kind of gamer who likes "spooky", so I was a little unsure about whether I'd like the idea of a 'love story'-themed game. I downloaded the trial version of the game first, but was so hooked within 10 minutes I bought it without finishing the hour. I prefer games where you can move about in/between scenes, and this was perfect. There was enough to-ing and fro-ing to keep you busy without it being annoying, and there were in fact very few HOGs, which really didn't matter that much because the puzzles were so enjoyable. The puzzles were, for me personally, quite innovative #and therefore a refreshing change!# compared to a lot of other games I've played. They had just the right amount of challenge to them in places to have you scratching your head - I had to get the odd hint here and there - but by and large you could work it out with a bit of thought. The storyline was engaging and drew me in, and flowed perfectly to its conclusion. I'd recommend this game 100% - in fact, I loved it so much I immediately bought the other game in the series :-)

I really didn't like this game.
I was looking for something different from the usual 'haunted manor' games - and from the preview video and images of this game, I thought that it looked different enough to give it a try.
Unfortunately the storyline was so unexciting, that I was pretty much bored the entire time I played, and tried to get through it as quickly as i possibly could. I read a review that said "great love story" but I did not find that at all!
The scenes were pretty - but the challenge level was seriously lacking and the tasks were downright boring.
Sorry - I don't recommend this game for people who want a good challenge. And if you don't like romance novels - you probably won't like this game either. ;-)

puzzled at faring point
I bought this game after reading some positive reviews. I knew it wasn't a straight HOG which is my very favorite genre but I have been branching out into adventure hogs.
This game started out promising with beautiful graphics and clear (though far and between) hog scenes. The story line isn't very clear, no VO's but there are ghosts that try to get your attention. After my trial went smooth i bought it w/a game credit. Then things went downhill. I got stuck and the hint button is not very helpful. The journal helps to a point but as I continued further in the game I needed the walkthrough more and more. Not enough clues for me I guess. Then it got monotenous. Puzzle after puzzle. Turn the wheel, match-ups, move the mosaic puzzles, luckily the SKIP button kicks in after a minute or two. Finally I quit and deleted it. Too much frustration for an uneventful game. My opinion only, this game wasn't my cup of tea.

Fun Adventure Game
"Death at Fairing Point"... was a really kewl game to play. It had HOS, as well as many other games, which made it exciting and a lot of fun. The storyline was believable and made you want to continue gameplay, so you could find the answers along with the character. I played the regular game, not the Collector's edition, and had to go to the walkthrough site only twice during the whole game. I would gladly recommend this game, as it will give you hours of challenges and fun.

More Like A Puzzle Game
Good Parts:
A beautiful musical accompaniment, fitting in to the theme of the game.
Great, modern graphics.
A great intro setting the tone for a great storyline. The same ghost-like storyline, but not gloomy.
The Hidden Objects I had to find were not in scenes. Most of them were scattered around and I had to find them in groups. This was a unique twist and I really liked it.
Unlike the hint, the skip button did recharge quickly.
OK Parts:
While the hint was valubale, it took way too long to recharge.
I would've prefered voice-overs for the whole game.
Bad Parts:
The puzzles in the game were way too hard. I was constantly waiting for the skip button to charge.
This game is in desperate need of a startegy guide. You have no idea what you need to do, so you just sit around waiting for the hint to recharge.
I seemed to come across a lot of puzzles. I thought this was supposed to be a Hidden Object Game.
Had there been a strategy guide, I might jhave given this game a four. I strongly recommend you play the Collector' Edition.

Detecting in a Genteel way!
What a delightful game. Story line is standard - but the execution of it is suberb! I enjoy this game - and BOOM ZAP has done it again. Such a pleasant way to spend rainy afternoon - this game is great. No Monsters, No Trials and Tribulations, no Withches, but just old fashioned mystery in a very nice settings.
