SOOOOO MUCH FUN!
I'm not sure where I was at when the CE came out on this game but I would have bought it in a second! This game has to be one of the best I have EVER played. I give it a huge 5 out of 5. The only thing I can think of a little negative to say about this game is there is alot of back and forth which I hate in a game but I don't mind doing so in this game. It's well worth it! Thanks BF and kudos to a super good game!

Hold on to your hat - it's a corker!
I have to say this was the best game I have ever played by BFG.
It has all of the elements needed to keep you pinned to your PC - I couldn't move until I had finished it (5 hours by the way).
There was a fair bit of running back and forth but not to the point where I lost track of where I was (the map is a handy thing as the game has a lot of scenes).
I played on normal mode and did not need to refer to the walkthrough or hints.
Graphics are fab, storyline is epic and the level of challenge just right. most definitely a keeper!!!

This is a tough one!
Warning: Not for the beginner or easily frustrated! Hints rarely tell you more than "There is nothing to do here". The game is set on a fairly complicated 3 level estate and even though you're provided a map, it's not all that helpful. There seemed to be more mini games than HOs, but they're skippable. I really did enjoy the challenge, but found I needed to take a few breaks when I became hopelessly turned around and couldn't advance. My memory certainly got a workout in this one.

A Fun Hidden Object Game
There were plenty of rooms and outdoor spaces in this hidden object game. the hidden object scenes were easy to moderately easy. the mini puzzles were hard to really really hard. Thank goodness for the skip button. The storyline was suspenseful, eerie , and macabre. This game is well worth the money as a SE.

more adventure than HOG
I just finished the Demo & I'm downloading the game. I was in the middle of chapter 2 when my hour ran out, so the time length for the game must be pretty good. Items in the HOGs have been easy to find & I only game across 2 HOGs during the hour. Puzzles were a little different, which was nice.

A fairly interesting Track and Rescue mission.
If you've read BFG's presentation summary you have probably already added 2 and 2 together and have surmised the kidnapper was suffering from a mental disorder called DSG. He perpetrated this vile act in an attempt to retain or regain his youth, obsessed as he is by his own appearence. Hence the title of the game.
No ghosts, no skeleton, no grave, nothing paranormal, but expect nevertheless a few corpses here and there.
Sam's investigation starts with a very good intro movie backed up by a solid soundtrack. Later, the in-game music is discreet except when used to enhance a specific event. The cutscenes are of the same quality.
The voice-overs are perfect, very professional, highly natural, and a pleasure to listen to.
The graphics and scenery are quite good, a wee bit blurry, thus befitting the mildly spooky atmosphere successfully.
Not at all overloaded with HO Scenes, the game gives priority to the adventure side. Tasks are multiple and easy to accomplish with useful items also easy to get.
HOs are not difficult to find either as the scenes they're in do not look like awful junkpiles.
Assistance is provided efficiently by the unlimited hints that recharge fast, the clues on screen, the audio, and in the journal, together with a map showing your current location, the areas to explore and were the puzzles are.
Puzzlewise [and minigames] the developers did a good job; all those I played in the demo were fairly tricky, challenging and fairly uncommon. Some are randomized, I am not sure they all reset as I saw a Reset Button in only one, but you can skip them. Click on the Question Mark to get the instructions.
Unfortunately for puzzle lovers like me, the game is not packed with them, but there is enough of them to keep you busy and make you think.
Let's add to that 2 Modes of difficulty, a wide monitor option, and the possibility to replay the kidnapper's verbal comments via the journal.
The demo takes you to the beginning of Chapter 3 only, so it's difficult to estimate the gamelength, or assess how well the storyline unfolds.
Considering that I got to the end of Chapter 2 in just over 56 mns after visiting 9 locales, it is possible the game may be shorter than expected.
Note: DSG: Dorian Gray Syndrome, named after Oscar Wilde's famous novel: The Portrait of Dorian Gray.

Wish i would of found this game along time ago
i just got done playing the demo to the is game bought it its slightly wordy but has great puzzles and easy to continue without getting stuck .. I found this game by looking at other game I loved and reading the reviews and see what game those people liked this game had almost five stars and i had never seen it I really wish BFG would have a list of game with the highest rating not just the the most popluar just because people buy it doesnt always mean he game turned out really good I would like to not have to dig deep and reseach reviews to find games that have a five star rating and people really liked

Brink of Consciousness
Wow, what a great story! The graphics, animations and voice acting kept me in suspense until the last minute. There are a lot of scenes within the game and a quite a bit of traveling back and forth. It really required careful exploration and attention to detail but I felt it all had a sense of purpose rather than the aimless wandering some games seem to have. There is a map that lays out the floorplans and highlights areas of interest. The hidden object scenes are well done and I found most of the puzzles quite challenging. Expect the unexpected around every corner!

Close, but no cigar
Stunning graphics.
Excellent voice acting.
Best use of music ever. (This is high praise coming from someone who usually shuts it off.)
Wonderfully executed HO scenes. (No junk piles)
Maps useful but could have been better.
Some puzzles/mini-games very difficult and tedious
Way too much "back and forth" required
Ending did not impress.
