Fun but no CE for me
My review is based on the demo only. I thought the graphic were very good, the storyline was interesting as far as the demo went, the cutscenes were good, as was the live action, voice overs and music were okay. I did like that the scenes were not overly dark.
The HOs were basic junkpile with some interaction. The puzzles were okay, easily doable. As others have stated, the door knob was fun, he made me laugh.
I actually enjoyed this game, but don't feel it is worth the CE price especially if it is only 4 chapters as others have stated. Will wait for SE.
As far as recommending-can't say yes, can't say no as far as the CE is concerned.

One of the best HO games so far
Played a lot of them in the past - this is definetely a hit. Seems to be a bit short though...

Breaking the curse
Although some of the games exploiting the witches theme are indeed cursed in both their full of nonsense puzzles and sometimes creepy (in bad sense) graphics "Witches' Legacy" shows how its to be made. The graphics are exquisite, the story comprehensive, logical and creepy (in the right way). Music adds nicely to the mood set by the graphics. he puzzle although some of them require some location hopping are logical, hidden items are as difficult as they should be without all that stupid putting them where they would never be located.
Collectors edition gives you additional game play, and not, as in some other games, only gameart, music, wallpaper and screensaver.
In other words excellent game. Can't wait for another one.

A fun game
Based on my trial demo....
Great Graphic, Witch, innocent soul, live actors, with interesting animation.
Sort of like a cobination of Harry Potter meets Drawn with a twist.
A relaxed game, not too difficult or goryfest, and good triumphs over evil--at least I would hope so.
I'm not sure of length, but seems ok, will wait on purchase & for additional reviews.

Fun Factorama!
Games like this, that is so well put together, can help take you from intermediate to expert, while having a lot of fun along the way. The Collector Edition part of this, let's you play just a little longer which made me very happy. A must try for all serious HOGS.

Fun game, but nothing new
Once again you need to save a child that is a distant kin.
The graphics were well done, and the storyline flowed nicely, but there was absolutely nothing new in this game.
The sort of game that you enjoy playing, but in a month's time you have totally forgotten about it.
The bonus chapter followed on nicely from the main story but was not essential to the main plot.
A pleasant game to play that keeps you interested throughout it, but not riveted.

Great adventure game!
It took us 57 minutes to complete the demo and we think this is an awesome game. There are 2 modes of game play to choose from. Also a choice of screens and cursor. There is lots to do and the interactive hidden object scenes are great fun. The graphics are excellent and there are animation scenes in the diary book that are amazing! The puzzles are fun and not too difficult. We did not try the strategy guide, so we have no comment on that. This is truly a game we would purchase, however with all the collector editions being released <think there have been 8 so far in January> we will wait for the single edition. When we acquire that never ending source of money we will buy all collector editions! :)

Fun Game
While the general theme has been done before, I was pleased with the game and story line (especially since it did NOT start out with a car crash!) Art work was good, acting/voice overs as well. HO areas were not too difficult either. This game is both HO as well as adventure and quite engaging. I'm pleased that these developers are continuing with quality games.

Not as good as I hoped
Shame really, the premise was good and I rather liked the door knob with a cold, but even in Expert mode it only took just over 1/2 hr to do the demo. Much too easy so I won't be buying.

Great Game worth the money
This was a great game and I would recommend it to all but the most sophisticated players......Some might find it too short but I found that with the extra chapter the length was perfect. It ended before I was bored with it. Some of the HOS were a bit tough but that's why there are hint buttons. I was able to solve the puzzles but a few were pretty challenging. I hope to see more games from this developer.
