Meh...not so much
I was disappointed in this game.
The puzzles were too easy and rather juvenile (paint by number or find the wrong things with this picture). Others were boring and I skipped them rather than waste time.
The story line was uninteresting.
I just wanted to finish it but not that I cared about the resolution to the story.

Great!
Interesting storyline, fun characters.
Good gameplay - knew what the goals were and could achieve them in a plausible manner.
Puzzles were good and challenging but not too difficult, although admittedly, somewhat repetitive.
The best comparable game is Dark Stroke: Sins of the Fathers; there's a love story that needs to be solved with twists and drama.
Overall, this game was fantastic!
SO READY TO PLAY THE SECOND AND THRID ONE.

A fine mystery
This was a mystery about a romance. I quite enjoyed it and felt the graphics were beautiful. Instead of being a detective, you are cast as a writer uncovering a story.
Pros:
long playing time
pretty graphics
not a lot of back and forth
good storyline
Cons:
There were too many mini games. You couldn't do much without completing one first.
It's a fun game and I say go for it !!

WONDERFUL GAME
Great adventure tragedy-romance story ? appealing and believable. Relaxing music; gorgeous locations.; wide variety of clever puzzles; good blend of HOS and puzzles with the adventure. Beautiful narration ? could have used more just to hear her voice. Delightful to see HOS such detailed and picturescque graphics instead of the drab, overly crowded and dilapidated-looking HOS found in so many games today.
The developers put a lot of thought into the intertwining plot and, as with the other Dana Knightstone stories, did a fantastic job of putting the gameplay together to move the story forward smoothly and effortlessly. A very well developed and polished game. Her games are among my favorites. On casual mode, took 7 hours; well worth the money

Who you gonna call? Dana Knightstone!
Review based upon completion of the game.
This is the first installment of the Dana Knightstone novels, a fiction writer who can see ghosts and is helping them, then writing up their story. In this case the starts out in a Scottish house during a storm, and a murdered ghosts makes his presence known. Who has murdered him and why?
The Good:
+ decent game length (3:55)
+ storyline
+ HO scenes tie in with the story and "make sense"
+ lots of puzzles...
The Neutral:
o ...but most of them are already solved by the time the skip bar is filled
o voice overs only during act breaks
The Bad:
- English phone box in France
- finding people in HO scenes was a bit unnerving
Bottom Line: Very well done little game, good for beginners as it's not too complicated. Not much to-and-froing since you only have to manage a maximum of about 7 screens at one time.

A very good and entertaining HOG
despite not being the kind of game I usually give 5 stars (the creepy macabre games) I had to give this one 5 stars as it hits all areas of a good HOG/adventure It is a generous length even for a CE. The bonus game ties in well. There are plenty of hidden object scenes and minigames, both of different types. The plot makes actually makes sense and flows well. MInor points off: I wish was there was a way to turn off voices and different levels of challenging play. No way to navigate the strategy guide except by chapter.

Death at Fairing Point - A Dana Knightstone Novel
The best game so far! This game pulled me in very quickly, the graphics were "pristine." Nothing blurry in this game. Beautiful settings and nice gentle music. A nice storyline. The hint button helped me throughout the game, only had to check the walkthrough a couple of times. My only complaint is that it came to an end.

A Murder Mystery With Romance!!
I'm the first one in line to play those dark, gothic & scary games that a lot of people don't like. But I'm also a girl who likes romance once in a while. Granted, this one is about murder and ghosts, but I loved it!
Graphics were beautifully done, as was the music.
Script and dialogue were believable and well written. You'll also pick up handwritten letters along the way -- make sure you read them all.
Hidden object scenes were clear & easy on the eyes; and there weren't that many of them.
The Hint button recharged quickly, but the Skip bar took forever to fill up. So that was a good time to take a break
and get myself a snack, lol. But I only skipped a couple of the puzzles/minigames because most of them were different, challenging and fun.
Even though I kind of knew who the murderer was very early on, I still got totally immersed in the storyline and found this game hard to stop playing.
Full of intrigue and romance, I highly recommend Death at Fairing Point

A++++ game!
Great graphics and story line. Not too difficult or easy and in kept my interest. It's nicely set up in chapters so you don't have to run through 14 scenes to get back to the one where you need to do something.

A Joy to Play
I prefer HO games of this nature, much more interactive. It's not just find stuff and the story progressing. When there are traditional hidden object parts, the items are actually related to what you're doing not just random items. Overall, fun game.
