Dorian Grey Review
I just finished up this game and wanted to leave a review while it was fresh in my mind.
Overall, this was an excellent game and worth 5 stars. That said, I found it quite challenging. I played on the advanced mode. At the end of the game, I had had to skip 2 puzzles and use the hint key a few times. I did not have to use the hint key on any of the HO games, but during game play. I prefer to not use any hints or skips, but this game had me stumped a few times. Because of this it was a pretty long game. I had to walk away a few times when I was stumped and come back again. Oh, I even had to use the blog walk through once. :( lol I've played enough games now on advanced levels that I feel embarrassed to have to use any help.
So, now you know the game was challenging. :)
The storyline for this game was very good too, especially if you like creepy serial killer plots. The voice work was excellent! The voice actor reminded me of Hannibal in Silence of the Lambs. Very good!
If you like games where you get to wander around a lot, this is for you. Plenty of going back and forth, finding clues, and figuring things out.
I would recommend this game.

Definite 5 stars
This game had an interesting storyline that made you want to continue. And the best part is that it also had a great mix of hidden object, new & different mini-puzzles, and adventure to figure out what to do with the collected items. I was nicely surprised by the length and complexity of different scenes. The HO scenes were not terribly hard but for me, they were the right degree of difficulty as I prefer not to spend too much time on them so that I can carry on with the storyline. Look forward to the next game by this company.
Note: I investigated the previous games by this company, which were 2 Robinson Crusoe games. Quite a different style - all about hidden objects and puzzles, like Madame Fate. I'm not interested in that type so buyer beware.

Best game yet!!!
This game made me wish I had not rated other games so highly. It is undoubtedly the best game I have played from Big Fish and SO many are SO great. It is quite dark, but with a fiendishly wonderful sense of humor!
I usually hate an accompanying narrative, but this one just enhanced the game perfectly. The graphics are exquisite, the games are fun and different, the HOs are very well done. The layout is fantastic and requires a great deal common sense to negotiate and figure out where to return to complete a task, which I love!
This game came as close to perfect as a game can get and I really hope there will be another... SOON!!!

Good game, though not "Dorian Gray"
After I got over the disappointment the game was not truly based on the original book then play/movie, ___ Portrait of Dorian Gray, and then experiencing an additional caveat toward the beginning, #a scene appeared to depict something other than what was said to be a mythological character# ; I ventured onward and enjoyed the game. I did so after doing a little research and taking the dev on their 'word' for same.
Overall, Brink of Conciousness: Dorian Gray Syndrome was well done with good suspense and interesting gameplay...
It's the only game where I've had to turn off the voice acting; however, because the villain was just too cheesy and overly annoying to enjoy listening to and actually took away from the game overall, IMO. Fortunately the developers had the forsight to offer a subtitle script option.
Overall, worth the $ and time playing. Thumbs up.

One of the Best!
I don't normally submit reviews, but this one is worth the effort! I think it rates right up there with MCF games. It was a very long play, tons of different locations, and the mini-games were excellent...very challenging! I think the level of difficulty was just right. There is a map to help you around the huge estate with 3 levels, although I still got confused as to how to get from place to place. It's big! I loved the mini-games. It was fun, and offered many hours of play to complete. The story line and voice overs were well done. Great game!

Challenging, but exciting
I consider myself to be an excellent HOP - Adventure gamer, and this is one of the most challenging games I have ever played. The back and forth travel is just right and the game is a real thought provoker. There are no hints in the adventure part of the game, so if you rely on those to complete your games, you might get a bit frustrated. If you really think you are a great gamer, this one might humble you a bit. It is beatable, but you have to work for completion.

Favourite game of all
This is the first time I've commented on any game. I loved this game, could hardly leave the computer to go to sleep.
My favourite game of all my games.
Terrific graphics, sound and love Oscar's voice, so annoying, you just want to catch him to end the teasing.
No hesitation in recommending to anyone to buy it. Am going to look for more by the same group.

Gruesome
The story is quite gruesome. Kinda makes me sick.

One of the best
The story line is great, the adventure is catching, and one doesn't have to spent too much time over boring HOs. I couldn't stop until I finished it. It's a pity I didn't buy the collector's edition in the first place.

One of the best games we have played!
We played the demo and were immediately caught up in the story, although it is truly creepy. We couldn't wait to find out the ending, so we purchased the game and are downloading it as we submit our review. The movie at the beginning is great. You have the choice to skip, but it is the beginning of an awesome story. The graphics and voice overs are awesome, as well. There are choices for cursor, screen and level of play. There is a lot of back & forth, but it keeps you thinking on where do you want to use that object you found. The hidden objects scenes are fun & interactive and not terribly difficult. The first puzzle we played (tune the guitar) was fairly simple, but a couple others after that we thought to be a challenge. We can't comment on the length of the game since we have not finished it. We know this game will be a great purchase!
