Best Game You Will Ever Play
If all games were like this I would have no complaints. This was truely the best game I have ever played. It was challanging, suspenseful, great storyline,I stayed up many a nights way too late because I was unable to tear myself away from this game.

WOW!
I cannot say enough about this game! It's just incredible, well thought out, and has superb gameplay. Let's see: Graphics are excellent. The voiceovers are wonderful and very creepy. The entire game was creepy without blood/guts and without paranormal extras. This is what I would have thought EFR should have been. I played for approximately 6 hours or maybe more total. Even the bonus game took me another 45 min to an hour and I'm a fast player.
The map was very helpful. Some of the puzzles were real brain teasers and others just moderately difficult. The twists/turns and size of the mansion/grounds and even the bonus level is surprising and wonderful. Hints refill rapidly as does the skip button. The SG was handy in a few tight spots but overall I did not need to use it much as the map hinted at what needed to be done and also how to get there. Ever get lost in a mansion before? LOL. My only pet peeve with the SG was that when I did go to access the SG, sometimes the button was small or I hit it wrong and I would back out of where I was instead of accessing it.
Also, the only other thing that I felt was unnecessary was the amount of backtracking at times. There were areas where I had to click 12 times to get to an area I needed to be.
Overall this game is THE BEST! Have fun!

Didn't want game to end!
Great game! Nice length, interesting story and fun, interactive HO scenes. Lots of back and forth but a very helpful map that tells you areas of interest, HO scene location and puzzle location made the back and forth easier. I also liked that the hint button would tell you if there was nothing left to do in a certain area at the time. My only problem was that a couple of the puzzles were a bit difficult in my opinion (I'm not very good at puzzles though) but the skip button recharged quickly.
Since I play a ton of these kinds of games it takes a special one to stand out for me -- this was a definite stand out.

One of the better games I've played !!
I absolutely loved this game ! Bought it about 10 minutes into the demo to take advantage of the CE sale, and don't regret it. I was engrossed from the beginning. I was kinda shocked, upon viewing the first 'art exhibit', so I've gotta to say it's graphic in that sense. So, be forewarned, this is about a serial killer. I keep thinking that this might be a continuation game, the protagonist seems so familiar. Anyway, very intriguing, puzzles were different and interesting, story keeps you guessing, again did I mention the creepy factor? All in all, extremely entertaining. Please have more games like this !! It was refreshing after so many CE's that seemed dumbed down, and way too short. This game was NOT short at all. The bonus was plenty long too. Definitely a 5 out of 5 for me !!

An All-Time Best!
I have to say, this is one of the overall BEST Adventure-Puzzle-Hidden Object games I've ever played. Everything is done elegantly, with beautifully-detailed scenes, top-notch puzzles, and a story I actually cared about!
The Hidden Object Scenes are kept to a minimum, which I appreciate, and the ones that existed had enough challenge to make them interesting.
The Adventure tasks are not the same old actions we've seen and done a hundred times before.
Voice-overs by the villian are delightfully evil. We also hear our hero gasping and panting at times, which really ups the realism value. I could have done without the coughing he did in certain areas; it got annoying after a while.
The lay-out was fairly easy to keep track off, and a helpful map indicated areas of interest and places still locked.
The length was fantastic, I kept thinking it must be over soon, but was happy to keep playing longer. The ending was extremely dramatic and unique.
I hope the very end is an indication of where these developers want to take us next. Can't wait!

Great new mini puzzles
I really enjoyed this game! I love HO/Adventure games and this one is really a great mix of both, unlike others where every minute there is a HO scene...Also, the mini games are really fun, I really don't think I have seen any of these type before! Great job and great game!!
