Slamming Game
I enjoyed assisting the good professor in saving the people of Witchville only to realize things weren't what they appeared. i liked the hidden object scenes and the mini games (albeit not as many as I would have liked--mini game fanatic). I've started the bonus sequence and can't wait to see how that turns out.

Sleeper
This game from Vogat was a big surprise: I usually loathe hidden object games because they've become so static-- but this game utilized them very well: excellent graphics (reminiscent of the fantastic MCF series--especially the Ravenhearst games from BFG) and the pacing of the game was excellent with lots of puzzles and a solid story line.

Good HO/adventure game!
Good to see another HOG that's set in the present time. The graphics are good, music is a little annoying though. The hidden objects are really easy to find but I like when the emphasis is more on the adventure than finding the necessary items to advance. Objectives are clear, and I like the hand icon when something is of importance rather than having to click all over the place to find one. The hint button recharges quickly. Good game overall...I think I'll purchase this one.

Interesting Game
I played the Demo, then bought the game to finish. This games is easy, and relaxing. I hate to rush through my games. I enjoy looking at the scenes, and the studying puzzles, This game has wide screen, a plus for me. The music is not overpowering. The storyline is pretty straight foreward and easy to follow. If a hint is needed, they are precise and easy to follow. Big Fish Games Rule. My favorite is still Ravenhurst, and Return to Ravenhurst. Keep up the great work, and I will keep playing. :~)

Great HO Adventure Game,,,,,,
I look forward to each HO Adventure game offered......these are my favorite!! Some have too much annoying dialogue but this one was okay......Just enough levels/chapters to keep you entertained and not bored.......Items were easy to find and instructions for game play clearly explained.

Good game about witches and ghosts
I liked the storyline - saving a town from the evil... I played in advanced mode. The graphics are good, although sometimes dark. But the objects in the HOS are easy to find. The puzzles were sometimes really challenging, but as you move in the game, they actually get easier. The "journal" is IMHO of no use, but you are shown what your tasks are. It took me 3 1/2 hours to finish. All in all a good game with a happy end.

Nothing Special
Although this game looked like a standard run of the mill game, I read great reviews and decided to give it a try. I played less than 15 minutes. The graphics, concept, and gameplay were nothing special. The hidden object scenes do have the feature of requiring an action for some of the items, which I enjoy, but that's certainly not enough to overcome the rest of the game. It's not bad... I just didn't think it was that good.

Basics don't work right
responds to mouse clicks sluggishly, movement graphics are sluggish and not exactly standard. Some puzzles cannot be solved with on board help.

Fun game
You have to save Witchville from a curse that turns everyone into ghosts. No VOS. Lots of HOS, mostly clear, challenging to find all the objects. Good music. Great hint system: tell you what to do if you are stuck. Good puzzles, fast skip button. Some seek and find. Interesting story and characters. Good length, too, over 5 hours on casual and I didnt do all the puzzles.

Good game and great length
Enjoyed this one quite a bit -- even though it uses the junkpile type HO scenes.... at least most items are cleverly hidden...
It's a pretty standard HO/adventure game with a very good story -- more HO than puzzles -- but there are a few puzzles that are truly different and I enjoyed that. One puzzle (pipes) is repeated several times and I would have preferred that each puzzle was different from the others, but most presented a good challenge without frying my brain cells... ;)
I tend to take my time, do my laundry, make/drink coffee, listen to tv in background, etc. when playing these games, so they take me a bit longer than others, but this game certainly lasted a good long time. When I thought I was close to being done, I was only little more than half-way through.... I really appreciate that! I can't tell you how much I hate spending money on a game that only lasts 2-3 hours.
I definitely recommend this game... Enjoy!
