Nice to look at, but not much substance...
Based on previous reviews I thought this game was going to hit it out of the park, but boy, was I disappointed! The graphics are gorgeous, but the voiceovers are nothing to write home about and the game itself is pretty bad. The plot holes are large enough to sail a boat through.

played the demo...
The game is unique, so that alone makes it worth playing the demo...but...many of the interactive tasks lack logic and this forces you to wait for the help button unless you just get lucky and blindly click on something useful. Minigames and the HOS scenes are different and for halfway thru the demo, looked forward to these...thought might buy it just to see what other minigames in full version might offer or to see how story ended, but by end of demo was so bored, just didn't care about either. Sorry to thumbs down this one, but would not spend a game credit on it...possibly buy it at 2.99 deal, but I doubt it. Congrats to those who enjoy it - just not my kind of HO game.
Don't recommend buying it until you play the whole demo.

Not for me
I guess I'm out of it the last few day. I loved Ghost Encounters: Deadwood which did not get very good reviews. I did'nt like this demo at all which appears to be getting good reviews.
The puzzles were boring. They either made no sense or you were literally walked through them step by step. The HOS was too hard (I only played one in the demo and had to use the help button 3 times).
The main characters voice was annoying and the music was drab.
Hard to follow what was even going on most the time.
The anbience was dumb.

Awful
Without a doubt the dumbest game I've played in a long time. Do not, repeat, do not waste your time.

To strange
Not sure what they were thinking when they came up with this game. It's just to strange for me.

Very creative game
At first I wasn't impressed by the voice acting, but once I got used to it I discovered this is an amazing game. The puzzles are unique in that there are many interactive areas, with puzzle-within-puzzle challenges. There are clever implementation else where, such as when you have to complete a puzzle on your map.
The graphics are also pleasing to the eye. The color scheme makes striking use of cyan, as per the game title. I like that the scenes are not cluttered, so the frustration level is low when you need to find an object.

Abrupt Ending
I have HAD IT with games that just cut off with no ending to speak of if you were foolish enough to buy the SE. ERS is particularly bad about this, and it looks like this developer is too. It was a lovely game, right up until the ending, where you're like "....I guess that's the end?" These developers could at least throw in some text to make it feel like you've heard the whole story. I am really disgusted, and cutting way back on my casual gaming because of this.
