More Dark Parables Please!
I love the atmosphere of these games. The hidden object scenes are clever, the puzzles and storylines awesome.

The only bad thing about this game...
... is that it will ruin all other H.O. Games you play after this one. Drawn 2 is excellent (and more kid friendly), Awakening, Goblin Kingdom is challenging and excellent (perkier, not as dark as this one) This game is the only other I've played that measured up to those, and really, all others I've played since have played in comparison to this one. It is completely different in tone than those - and I preferred the fragmented HO style to the word list based, because it's some thing that very smart but not quite completely literate kids can join along in playing.

The Exiled Prince - A Dark Fairytale with a Happy Ending
The Exiled Prince was the first of the Dark Parables series I've tried and I loved it. The storyline is captivating and unique although it does heavily depend on the various fairy tales it also leads a nice new perspective. The game had an easy to follow train of thought. Although there were some points where I had to rethink of what might come next I never had the feeling of being completely lost due to the journal that keeps track of everything. Another plus was the play time. I was expecting maybe 2-3 hours of game play but was greeted with 5 hours. In connection with the fantastic graphics, the well established plot and the linear game design, Dark Parables: The Exiled Prince is a game well worth playing. Putting it in fairytale words: This game was a happily ever after for me.

Dark Parables-exiled prince
Wish I could get a refund for this one. Repeat HO areas, only with different peices. Graphics terrible, sound not much better. Not pleased at all with this one. Storyline was old news.

First of it's kind!
I've never played a game such as this before. The story line was fantastic and the hob's were not too hard but okay. I enjoyed finding objects that would then make a much larger useful object! The puzzles were very easy and mostly common sense. That's the only down part for me. The puzzles were far too easy. The ending was sweet and you're able to continue the adventure! I do wish I bought the CE though. I now have the urge to buy the whole Dark Parables series!

Perfectly Blended
The game is beautiful, and the story is an excellent balance between Disney-bright and Grim-dim style storytelling. The game IS a little short, so get it on sale. But definitely get it, because it's such an excellent follow up to Briar Rose and the replay value is excellent.

The Frogs are Adorable
This game has a few little extras which I greatly appreciated. Little frogs are shown throughout the scenes and if you click on them, they croak and hop away. Not good for anything except to please the eye. There is a lot of backtracking, and I was easily confused a few times, not knowing where I was or where I was going or where I had been, but I muddled through and enjoyed the game. The graphic are crisp and not overly dark. Unfortunately, it did not let me play the bonus level even though I finished the main game, not sure why but it's some technical glitch, most likely. All in all, a fun game and I'm glad it's part of my collection.
