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.

A pretty good game, but with some negative factors
When I first started playing this game, I thought I would really enjoy it, as it seemed to have all of the elements that I like: a good storyline, some challenging mini-games, and ornate landscapes. However, my patience started flagging halfway through the game. For one thing, there were too many hidden object puzzles and not enough brain teasers. It seemed that finishing a hidden object screen and moving on to the next area just took me to another hidden object game. Another problem with the hidden object challenges is that the graphics, while colorful and imaginative, were not sharp. That made some of the hidden object challenges very difficult as it was next to impossible to see many of the objects without hints. Being a spooky game, most of these scenes were dark and some of the objects occurred in areas that were just too dark to see (I didn't want to adjust the gamma setting of my screen, as it is perfect for all of my other programs). The music was just plain monotonous as the same theme just kept playing in every scene. And finally, the ending was one of those abrupt finishes that leave you saying, "That's it?".

Wanted to tear my hair out by the end
The storyline in this game was excellent and intriguing, which is what made me keep playing. However, by the end, I just wanted to be done!
My problems with this game were:
1) Way too many hidden object scenes, and toward the end, you had to find multiples of at least of third of the items. It felt like a lot of filler.
2) A lot of very tiny objects, mostly hidden objects (as in they're tucked away behind other objects and unidentifiable in hidden object scenes), and a lot of overly camouflaged items.
3) The first half of the game was way better developed than the second half of the game
4) Many of the puzzles were just plain tedious, and, like the hidden object scenes, felt like filler.
By the end of the game, I was using the hint button, walking away and doing other things, then coming back to use the hint button again, just because I was so sick of the hidden object scenes. I also skipped a lot of puzzles because I just wanted the story to reach its culmination, not rotate another set of objects into the correct slots.
Granted, I'm not the biggest straight hog fan, so take this review with a grain of salt. Also, while it is not a straight hog, there wasn't a single area that didn't have one, if not more, hidden object scenes.

Great if you love Hidden object games
An enjoyable game. Good length and some different puzzles to add interest. Fantastic if you love HO games as some of the scenes were tough to crack, but I'm not a huge fan, so I started to get fed up with yet another HO scene. Overall though, the other puzzles, story and length made up for it. A disapointing ending after all the hard work puzzling; it just stops!
More of a 3 1/2 than 4 but worth the money.

Gravely dull
I really wanted to like this. It started well, but finished quite abruptly. As usual the ordinary edition had nothing in terms of extras and so the gaming experience was ultimately unsatisfactory and i didnt feel like id achieved anything at the end of it.
PLUS:-Task list easily accessible on screen with a 'to do' list which came in handy (and was room specific so you didnt get lost.) Nice graphics, especially the rings, keys and statues, fast hint recharge, basic but interesting storyline with individual characters.
MINUS:- No map. some hidden objects were impossible to find.....either hidden right at the bottom of the screen or under water and invisible, the matching pairs games was a bit dull, story felt like it was dragging towards the end, the puzzles werent very inventive.
Could have been so much better......for me the game ultimately is not replayable. Pity as it had started well. What a shame.

Good Game; Very Creepy!
Gravely Silent: House of Deadlock is a hidden object adventure game. The story line has you trying to help your sister, who married a very bad man.
The hidden object scenes were mostly interactive. The graphics and music in this game were nice. However, this game has more bugs, spiders, snakes, bats and rats than any other game I've played as of yet. If creepy-crawly things bother you, you definitely will want to play the demo before buying. That said, I found the puzzles interesting, as well as the way the game progressed.
There are two difficulty settings for this game. I played on the casual setting, and it took me nearly four hours to complete the game.

Disappointed
I had high hopes for this game after the other excellent reviews but I found it irritating and tedious. It is a good length so there is value for money in that. However I found the story uninteresting, the Ho's dark and cluttered, the to and fro annoying and some of the solutions to the use of inventory items weird. I do not want to do a spoiler but the use of the strawberries had me scratching my head!! Looking for a 'dark mark' as an HO in a scene that was dark anyway had me irritated. And as for the ending ....... well words fail me. Three stars for the length of it but I will not be rushing to play this one again

Fun game, but finished too fast
The beginnings of the game set a very good mood, but further along things got a lilttle cliche'd. Not bad, mind you, but I didn't think the midgame was as much fun as the beginnning. The endgame could have been extended, with a bit more searching and puzzles. It just semed too simple.
Overall, however, a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

OK game, but....
This is a fairly long game with an interesting story. The hint system only tells one what, if anything, to do on that scene, not what else to consider. There isn't a map, but the running back-and-forth is fairly minimal. The VO is written text only. I would have rated the game higher except for the very poor HOS. Get your magnifying glass out and make sure you aren't color blind. This is probably one of the worst set of HOS I have seen. If you can put up with this, I recommend the game.
