Really enjoyed this game!
I had a blast playing this game! I loved that the HOS were limited, there were puzzles within the HOS, the other puzzles were challenging, but not so much so that one couldn't solve them, the graphics are GORGEOUS and inspired and the storyline was great! I enjoyed finding different objects to use in different places and it had more of an adventure problem solving feel to it ... to me anyway! :-) Plus, the guide is very helpful in the event that you get stuck! I would certainly recommend this game!

just what I'm looking for
Loved it loved it loved it !! You must re-assemble the nine priests in order to close the portal to the dark side. Awesome artwork and graphics. Long and detailed. great storyline, lots and lots of puzzles that vary in difficulty. I played in advanced and found the challenge level just right. The strategy guide is there if you need it.. and you may need it a couple of times. Really enjoyed the variety of puzzles and the huge assortment of inventory objects. Liked that the music changed with the locations. There is the addition of achivements to achieve which always makes the gameplay more interesting. Very detailed, enjoyable game. It had several extras including an artifact that you actually used. I will say that the voice acting could have used a bit more emotion and the ending could have included a bit more celebration when you completed your quest but those would be minor points in an otherwise superbly well done game. Haven't played the extra yet but I am sure it will be comperable to the main game. These are the kind of game I am always looking for. Great job.

Mind-bending puzzles
Apart from some freezing up on my older cumputer, this game was perfect. It?s beautifully done, lengthy (including the bonus chapter) and challenging in a good way. The HOGs are clear and the puzzles pretty tough, but there is always the Skip/Reset button if you get stuck or you lose patience. The game offers three levels of difficulty, achievements, and very useful hints. The storyline is decent and there are some creepy moments when you are startled by demons, ghosts or werewolves jumping towards you (usually, I don?t like to be scared in this way, but I didn?t mind it here because it?s repetitive and it becomes funny with time). The search for objects and the application of them is challenging as well, but more or less logical (the crowbar being particularly useful). I really recommend this game if you like puzzles.

Great game!
I am very pleased with this game. I haven't finished it yet but can say that it has everything I love in a HOG! The puzzles are challenging, story line is interesting and the game play is not all that easy. There are many levels with lots of interesting places to explore. The graphics are clear and crisp. It has an addicting factor and I can't wait to get back to it. There are three levels of play so it is an ideal game for beginners or for experienced gamers.

Great game - new developer
Loved this game! I found the puzzles challenging, the graphics amazing, the humour sarcastic and it wasn't too junkpile HOS heavy. Theme/plot very enjoyable. If there were more games like this I would be broke! More please and don't you go changing!

I am now bald - and happy about it!
This is my first review of a game, and I have to say this one is well earned. I was so frustrated during this game I had to stop and come back a few times. I even USED the strategy guide. The hint button fills so slowly I thought it wasn't moving! I must advise newbies to take caution and make sure you buy the CE - you will need the strategy guide (and plenty of wine)! Excellent graphics, nice storyline. Great buy!

Definitely one of the better ones!
Gorgeous graphics and good voice-overs, including cut-scenes that were well done. Catered for Wide Screen.
All the standard hidden object scenes and puzzles, with a few new puzzle types. Hidden object scenes were very easy and puzzles varied from very easy to relatively difficult.
Achievements were earnt along the way.
The length of the game was fair.
The storyline flowed nicely, but didn't having you wondering what was going to happen next.
The bonus chapter was a just passable length, and flowed on nicely from the main story, but wasn't an essential part of it.
I originally had trouble getting into this game, but came back as few weeks later for another attempt. Started from the beginning again, and glad that I did. Really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed it!
First of all I must admit I did not like 2 minor things: the voice acting, some actors were simply acting on my nerves (but it is common in my case), and the visual quality, which too me was all too colorful and a bit too much cartoonish. But these two are the matter of my personal preference.
And now I'll tell you why I liked it:
It is fairly long. And that's a rare thing. The HOS are nicely done, not too easy, but not a killer to the eyes either. And I liked the puzzles and the level of challenge. However, I must admit a few puzzles managed to annoy me, some took a long time to complete, like pushing shields around the maze, and even if you know solution and click wrongly once, you are forced to start all over again. Or aligning cylinders by rotating them round the pole... I guess I got this one by sheer luck. as there was no reset button .
So if you like the challenge then this is a game for you, that should suffice for a few solid evenings :D
