Unique Plot
At first I was not sure about this game, but after I tried the demo I knew I had to buy it!
I was afraid it would be a typical "throw as many skulls and screaming ghosts at the player as possible" game, but it was one of the few games on Big Fish that relies on having an wonderfully eerie story versus having monsters with big, sharp teeth.
The ghosts are not evil (for once!), the artwork is painted in a style that is a touch dark, but rich in detail and colour. The story is unique for a game; it kind of reminds me of a gothic novel. There are a few inventive games and alot of gemstone/amulet collecting. The main character is smart and the adventure is focused on the goal of freeing your sister.
I played on the harder of the two modes, and the misclick penalty was kind of ridiculous. Three misclicks in a row and your mouse freezes for a long time. Well, you know, for a misclick penalty. There are also, as another reviewer pointed out, multiples of the same object, so the penalty can get very annoying very fast.
Fortunately, the game focuses more on the puzzles than the HOs, so this isn't as troubling as it would be in a lot of other games.
There was also a mess up in Richard's age that really threw me off. I won't name it because it might be a spoiler, but pay attention to the dates of his wives' deaths and his age.
The ending was also a little bit disapointing, and I felt like it needed elaboration. They may be considering a sequel that tells Richard's side of the story, or they could just have not felt like explaining everything.
Other than those two minor flaws and one rather confusing ending (it's all about the conflict anyways), this game is very enjoyable and very unique. I definitely recommend it.

A stand out in the crowded creepy hidden object game genre
Excellent graphics and soundtrack, and great variety and originality in the puzzles, and even in the hidden object scenes!
I generally dislike interactive scenes, where you have to click somewhere to reveal an object because that generally involves just moving your mouse all over the screen to see if the cursor changes. In this game, the name of the object gives you a hint to what to do. E.g. "sliced meat" and you pick up a knife and use it on a ham.
The locations were beautiful and varied, especially the netherworld scenes which had the most inspired artwork. The puzzles were a lot of fun and many were original, or presented in an original manner. Great game length too.

Just not for me
I just could not get into this one. Did not seem to hard. I do not like it when the hint button just says nothing here. This would be a good 1/2 price game.

FUN, FUN, FUN.
I loved this game.........bit disappointed with the abrupt ending though! hog's good but quite difficult to find sometimes ( lets hear it for the hint button!!) I love the interactive hog's especially, just gives an added dimension to an already great game. well done vogat!!

First Review
I've been playing hog for awhile now but this is my first review. This game was worth the price for being the weekly special. It had alot of hogs & other relatively easy games within. There was lots of scenes & storyline & it was quite lengthly but not boring. Would of liked to have seen it end w/ getting revenge directly on Richard first hand but o well... still one of the better games I've played.

There are many other games on Big Fish better than this one
Not awful, but not good either. Even in advanced mode, sparkle indicators are plentiful. Puzzles/mini games are so easy that they are not really puzzles ? more like boring reorganizing exercises. And now for the hidden object scenes: (1) images are poorly illustrated and somewhat washed out, (2) interactive objects (using one object to reveal or create the one you need) are not reasonable or clever or logical, and (3) when you finally give up and use the hint, you see that the object was so buried or dark or unrecognizable that you never would have found it on your own. Overall, the game is playable, but there are so many better games out there that this one is not worthwhile.

Gravely Silent: A Very, Very Creative Game!
Definitely a game I would love to see more of! I purchased game long ago and only recently played in January. Wow, was I ever surprised at all the creative elements. I needed about 30 minutes into game to capture Developers creativity, which combined a classical music score with surreal, spooky and theatrical themes throughout game. I played on my Lap Top in Advance Mode, Wide Screen if I recall correctly and graphic quality was more than suitable. Wish I had purchased CE!!! This game combines a nice amount Of HO and Adventure plus going through several portals, which I love in games. Short and smooth game play.

Gravely Silent: House of Deadlock
I bought this game because I enjoyed the demo.
The graphic is great, there are not many spiders, as I thought there were. The graphic is great, and very much detailed, the storyline is not new: you save your sister from evil husband, and help save his past wives as well. The story progress slowly at first, but as you move on from one level to the next, it is getting quick and you seem to finish faster than you thought you would. That is disappointing, as I wish to play longer. Still, a great game to play and I recommend this game.

Wow! Amazing Game
This is it for me, a wonderful HO/Adventure. Great graphics, if a bit dark. Good sound track. Good story, although the ending was a bit confusing in the last second. Lots of cool places to explore and lots of puzzles. Not too difficult. Many just requiring patience, not brain power.
The story is typical for these types of games and well suited to the format. Your sister, who recently married the bizzilionaire Raincliff has died. But, in a dream she tells you she isn?t dead. You go to Raincliff mansion to poke around, while the bereaved widower is away. You discover that he has buried quite a number of brides, all shortly after he married them. Apparently, he is using their life energy to stay young. You must search the mansion and surrounding area to restore each dead-wife?s statue to free her spirit. After you do that, you get all five wedding rings and break the spell for good.
Spooky atmosphere and he needs to hire a cleaning lady.
I played in the Advanced Mode and did have to use a few hints to figure out what to do next, but I did not have to refer to the walk-through.
For me, the game has the right mix of HO scenes. Not too many, but enough. Some scenes were dark and a few items were microscopic, but in general, doable. I had to use a few hints to find things. Everything was properly labeled and some minimal interaction was required. As someone else pointed out, this is probably not for beginner HO players.
The game took me several hours to play.
Overall, it was very well done. There were only one or two places where I thought the developers failed. When nasty eels are guarding something in the swamp, I don?t think strawberries are going to distract them. And, there was a thing involving a magnet.
Probably not for beginners, but for seasoned players, this was great!

A Solid Game
I enjoyed this game except that I had to look at the walkthrough too much. I don't like them extremely hard.
It was a good length, and an interesting story.
I liked how you had to gather ingredients and make potions yourself to free the brides. Lots of hidden object scenes and adventure, plus mini-games, some of which I found tedious or difficult, though. But it was a good game.
