Hidden Object Interactive Puzzle Game
This is one of the best games I've played. It is by Vogat - a good developer. Good Length. Choice of Difficulty. Spooky storyline. Good Graphics. Helpful hint when needed. Puzzles are different and challenging at times. All in all an enjoyable game.

Gravely Silent: House of Deadlock
At first I hesitated to purchase this game because I thought it was just another dark, graveyard game. But I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It had multiple story lines that kept me interested and even though it was a long game, I did not get that feeling that I just wanted it to finish. In fact, I wanted it to go on. The game had just the right ratio of hogs and puzzles, and the artistry and music set just the right tone. I played the more challenging mode, and it was just the right amount of hints. Loved this game.

A cool game!
An interesting game. Some of the mini-games are quite unique. The game is kind of long--which is good news--more fun to be had!

Gravely Silent is a Great Hidden Object Game
PLUS SIDE = I really enjoyed this game, it kept me interested right from the start of the game. The use of portals and Netherworlds enhanced the game play, and extended the scene into a different dimension. The graphics were very good, ranging from the usual graveyard scenes to some almost Salvador Dali-type scenery in the Netherworlds. Music is an important game feature for me, and the music and ambient sound effects were excellent. Took me over 4 hours to play, and yes, I had to periodically refer to the Walkthrough when I got stuck.
MINUS SIDE = The HOG scenes were at first intimidating, but either I got better or they got easier as the game progressed. What I did not like was the abrupt ending to the story, if I had blinked my eyes I would have missed it!

Top notch
Definitely one of the better ones, long enough to be worth what you pay for it and definitely fun.
Enjoyed the story, and the dark overtones, interesting characters and all.
Nice clear graphics good for searching without problem.

Full Value Even in Non-CE
I had a long, enjoyable time playing this game to the end.
First I was a bit disappointed that there were only 5 major sections to play, but each section was intricate and satisfying. I think this is the best value for a game credit I have ever received.

Some annoyances, but fun anyway
The graphics are pretty, and the story was ok. The ending, I felt, was abrupt. It really annoyed me that it would ask for something in the H0 scenes, for example a bug, and there would be 5 bugs in the scene, but they don't say which one! Then they penalize you for over clicking. Sigh.
Some of the mini-games were a lot of fun, so I enjoyed it.

Gravely Silent: House of Deadlock
An interesting game with a variety of things to do.
Based on just the 1hr trial I rated this 4 star for the variety within the game and...
Mini Games, enjoyable very different is rather refreshing to get something unsuual and interesting in the mini games
Graphics - Clear & Clean for a grave yard setting
Hints - Refresh quickly & assist you if the area is clear or needs investigating
Options - adjust the screen, music, cursor, and sound and play mode
Casual or Normal mode
Music - Nice soundtracks & relaxing, does not distract you from the game
Clicking - Yes there is a penalty for fast clicking
HOS- Clean & not too much trouble finding objects or using the interactive items
Overall I believe this would be a good game to play if you don't mind scenes of spiders, bugs, snakes but don't get me wrong, it's not that bad and I hate spides.
Give the trial a go for sure, and you will see it might be worth continuning as you enjoy the mini puzzles & HOS!
I give this my ((Raww)) of approval!

Delightful
This is a very creative and enjoyable HOG/adventure game with a pretty good plot. I particularly liked the graphics - there was a very whimsical and creative mind at work there. The music was not annoying. The HOG scenes actually made sense in the context of the plot and were varied throughout the game. The puzzles were, for the most part, reasonably doable and you could always skip them. Yes, there were somewhat creepy scenes, but there were just as many absolutely delightful scenes with chairs and pianos with faces. It is quite long and well worth your time and money in my opinion.
