A Great Story - worth more than the game itself
I just played the free trial, but sounds to be a enjoyable game, well done sound, atmosphere and graphics also.
Each place has many different things to be done, but puzzles and HOS are very easy, except one where everything is the same color and some objects are tiny tiny! WOW !!
This was challenging !!! I hope there is more of this kind.
Well, what took me most, was the story:
- the cutscene at the beginning is very well done and really attractive.
- the lovely little girl, who wants to help us, leaves a doubt: is she friendly or not?
- the voice of the "evil man" is really realistic and ironic, and the things he says - like comparing the child to a lab rat - are unbelievable !
I really want to know how it finishes... but I'll wait the SE.
A good entertainment.
By the way... I do not have to play with the lights on ...but caught me off guard twice !

Intriguing - Edge of your seat type thriller
This review is based on the demo only, but I as I write this I am downloading the full game. The graphics and sound are great and I agree with the developer of the game to play it with the lights off and sound on.
This is a thriller that starts right from the gate. As you awaken, you are in a closed down hospital and you have already been injected with an agent that will kill you unless you find the antidote. Of course, the crazy doctor is there to taunt you along the way.
This is the kind of game that I love to play. HOSs appear easy but there's a lot of other interaction in this adventure that keeps you involved.
Enjoy!

Not A Collectors Edition
Literally just bought this game and finished with it in under 2 hours and that was with interruptions in the time I was playing the game...the graphics are excellent and may be worth the regular price but is NOT worth what you pay for a CE that's for sure, feel really ripped off at the moment :(

NOT ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS I'VE PLAYED MUCH BETTER
This review is based on the whole game including the bonus.
The story: This has been done many times however I usually enjoy these (the mental asylum) you wake up in an abandoned building finding you've been drugged and must now find the antidote and save a little girl before it's too late!
As for how many chapters there are, the strategy guide doesn't give any indication which is the only reason I looked at it was just to see how many chapters there are since some people like to have this info to the game as I didn't need it for any help so no comment there as to how helpful it is if you do get stuck.
There are voice overs to this game.
There are 2 play modes: Casual and Advanced.
I played advanced and still found the hint/skip to charge up pretty quick - about 20 seconds. The hint can also be used to direct you if you are stuck on where to go next in the game.
In the "Options" there is a section where you can turn off the interactive help. I played with it on so there is text at the top of the screen that will give you clues as to what to do. If you move your mouse/cursor, you will see an "eye ball" come up on the screen or a ? mark for areas of importance. There's also the "hand" that will come up to pick up items. The only "sparkles" I encountered was for the HOS (hidden object scenes).
There is a journal to this game which will show the objectives that need to be completed however there is no map to use to travel back/forth locations.
There are quite a few different locations to go to. Sometimes you use the inventory items right away and sometimes you have to go back a few scenes or you use them in later scenes. A couple of areas there are silhouettes of some items and you need to place the inventory items to complete them. Also I did come across one where you have to combine items to make it a whole item to be able to use it. Once an area is completed it will state "area completed" down at the bottom of the screen.
The HOS: I found this game to have quite a few which ranged from very easy as most of them I didn't have to use the hint to some scenes that were dark and some of the items were very tiny so I used a few hints on these scenes.
Puzzles: This game didn't have very many at all which was just fine by me but those of you who love puzzles may be disappointed as most of them I found to be very easy as you are told how to solve them. The only two I skipped was the "remember/repeat the sequence" and "find the matches - memory game" as I hate these. There is also a couple of HOS scenes. One the shape of a phone and the other a chair. Most of the items to find were very small however I still located most of them. You can also get hints to find them or skip these puzzles.
As for the game length: It took me about 5 hours total and I'm a slow game player. The main game was about 3 1/2 hours and the bonus was about 1 1/2 hours. The bonus in my humble opinion isn't a MUST to this game. You may or may not finish it sooner than I did.
Now for my overall impression of this game:
The story: As I stated been done many times however from the opening scene you are advised to play in the dark, the sound on, and warns you that this "adventure" is frightening. This did start out pretty good but after the demo time quickly went downhill in this regard as it didn't make much sense to me and ended abruptly and the bonus didn't add anything to the story. This game wasn't "frightening" at all. Actually I found there to be very little "story" to this game. There was only one scene in this game that startled me just a little bit but "frightened" me? Um... NO!
As for the voice overs: What little there were, the guy when he started talking kinda reminded me of the game called "Trapped: The Abduction" so I thought this was well done. Too bad there weren't more voice overs to this game.
The graphics I found to be pretty good considering the setting is "asylum."
Overall, I give this 3 stars as I found this to be an OK game. Definitely not "all that and a bag of chips" as my title states. Definitely not the worst game I've ever played but I've definitely played much better games.
Yes there is some "adventure" to this game with the traveling back and forth however the majority of it is HOS.
As for recommending this game:
If you are looking for a great story with a "frightening" experience as this game states you will have along with a lot of challenging puzzles if that's your thing well this won't be the game in my opinion.
If you don't much care about the story along with challenging puzzles and enjoy a game with A LOT of HOS well this will more than likely be for you.
I'm sorry Big Fish as I usually enjoy the majority of your CE's (collector's editions) but this is one game that I wished I didn't purchase. If to purchase it at all the standard version would be the way to go as the daily deal or catch of the week or using a punch card/game credit. Definitely not worth the CE price in my opinion.

ok game.
I didn't like this game simply because it was short and the ending was terrible!! I've played CE games and NEVER once had a complaint. You no more get into this game, and it's over! Not one I'd tell friends about, especially for the price I paid!

Solid Game
Not a new concept: stuck investigating an asylum you have no memory of getting to. However, the game was pretty thrilling and scary at times and really drew you in. This being said, I did purchase the game. The whole game had wonderful graphics and rarely did the music/voiceovers make me annoyed, except the volume appeared to vary greatly from scene to scene. The HOS were very plentiful and some of them had small items. I disliked that the HOS were repetitive and that some of the objects I had removed earlier suddenly reappeared. The puzzles were too easy. However, determining where to go and what to do could be a challenge at times. I would have liked a map. The strategy guide was unique in that it showed you where you should be and highlighted areas you still needed to complete. Mine had a small glitch and kept showing me an area I had already completed. The game took me approx 3 hours to complete, and the bonus game was of decent length but didn't add much to the overall story.
If you like lots of HOS and a suspenseful game, this is for you.

Decent, fairly interesting, but not out of this world
The one hour demo took me past half of what I suppose is the first chapter. The SG does not give any indication as to how many chapters there are in total; no index, not even the page numbers.
What I saw and did I in that hour didn't really blow my socks off.
At the start, the game advises you to play in the dark, loud speakers on, and warns you that the "adventure" is frightening and might not be suitable for the fainthearted.
I didn't find it scary at all..... but I am not hypersensitive.
I also turned the speakers down; the permanent sound effects and the music track get very annoying after a little while.
The strong point of this game is the voice-overs; truly professional. very natural, in one word, perfectly realistic. The dialogues are well worded and what the mysterious man says, the way he says it, is highly convincing.
Intro and cutscenes are very well done.
Oh, yes, the plot: the heroine has been drugged [we don't know how or why] and wakes up in what looks like a haunted mansion, except that it is not haunted at all. The inside is, or so it seemed to me, that of an abandoned, derelict mental asylum. Our heroine's goal consists in finding the antidote, escaping, and in the process, I suppose, defeat the man and save a little girl. Not a novel idea but it gave me the impression it was well developed and fairly interesting.
Graphicwise, nothing exceptional. The artwork is good, somber as befits the atmosphere, colored with talent.
Part of the game is an adventure, though the tasks are simple, unoriginal, and do not require much mental effort. They all respond to some logic in some way.
A large part of it is left to HO Scenes. These are neat, not overly populated, and fairly easily managed, save one: imagine dozens of objects, not even half an each in size, all of the same color more or less, and crammed up on... a telephone !!
I was happy, for this one, to be on Casual Mode [there are only 2 Modes], with a Hint System recharging almost at warp speed. Besides, you can click as much as you want without penalty. Hints also show you what to do next.
But it's difficult to get stuck; the linearity prevents that, and the number of locations to explore is rather limited, at least in the first hour. That's probably why you have no map.
Simple, too, are the objectives; moreover they are clearly stated in the journal. Clues also appear on screen.
I was hoping for numerous fiendish puzzles. In vain. The first one was a piece of cake, the second, in fact a minigame [make a chicken soup... LOL], perfectly uninteresting, even silly. I didn't get to play a third one which, probably, comes up later on. Puzzles are skippable.
I didn't see a wide screen option. Gameplay is fluid.
All in all White Haven is not exactly a paradise for true adventure lovers and puzzle aficionados, just another decent game for those who are keen on HOGs and simplicity.
However, bearing a full and perfectly objective judgement is difficult in the absence of further information; we don't know how successfully the storyline unfolds, what the rest of the game has in store, how good the other puzzles are, and whether it is long or short.
As is this game is okay, though I have seen better, so I can only give it 3 stars. I am waiting for the SE and a walkthrough to fine-tune this preliminary judgement, but I very much doubt I will ever purchase it.

Just couldn't get into it
I played this game for the full hour, and couldn't believe I still had no idea what the story was about (am I saving my life or the little girl# or where it was going. It says to play with the lights out and sound up which I did, but didn't really see the point.
The graphics were good. I can't comment on the storyline because you don't really know what's going on and maybe that is the storyline. The music/sound was ok. The voice-overs were well done. The HOs were fairly good, but more numerous than I would have liked. I think I played 3 puzzles, one was really a hybrid HO #a telephone made of tons of objects). Nothing about this game really excited me.
Overall I am at a loss on this game. I just couldn't get excited about it. Definitely a no on my list.

Real Thriller!
I like that the developer of the game suggests to play with the lights off and the sound on. Do this to get the full effect of the game. The sounds are great and kind of creeps you out! There were a few more HO scenes than I would like to see but overall the demo seemed pretty good. I like the way they use wormy looking squiggles to mark the HO scenes instead of sparkles which was different and how each time you click on the items, they kind of go "poof" with a special sound effect so giving attention to those little things makes the game interesting. Also, it was kind of cool to see one HO scene in the shape of a phone. I only played the demo so not sure if there are many puzzles yet but there seems to be lots to do along the way. The kitchen mini game was a little different too. It's not the greatest game I've played but worth playing, especially with the sound effects and the voice overs which make it more real and creepy!

not a collector's game
The game was very deceiving. It starts off great for the first hour, so you want to buy it. I played on the harder mode, it gets to easy and boring. Then to add insult to injury if you don't complete and get to the end the game it just finishes, the game ends. I have never played a game like this in all the years in BF.
Oh you can complete it in the bonus round, I started it, but was disgusted and shut it down. What a waste of money, maybe at the cheaper price, but not at collector's price.
