A game that makes you curious ... but, I'll wait for SE.
The plot is enthusiastic: you have to help the boy, Menes, condemned to be burned at the stake for killing a couple of Ulthar, to prove his innocence.
His sister, Atala, seemed more sinister than worried !!!
Graphics very well done, crisp and neat details.
Peaceful and pleasant sound, except for the loud meowing of the cat when you click hint.
Developers were careful making a properly done atmosphere.
No voice over.
HOS is one detail of the scene, with good visibility, not messy, as usual. They are not really challenging. In expert mode, hint don't fills fast.
There are many places to explore and you have to go back and forth to them often. Although locations are not far away, sometimes it's boring
Mini games are the usual, at least in the free trial ! Also not very challenging.
In addition to objects along the way and the HOS, you have to collect 24 cats throughout the game.
A game entertaining and stimulating... but I'll wait for the SE, since it does not offer much innovation.

Satisfying story with a very nice ending for us cat lovers
I bought this game and played the entire main game taking approximately 6 hours.
I skipped about half of the puzzles and did not play the game in the order that the SG suggests so, I did ALOT of to-ing and fro-ing which I enjoy very much.
I did not have any technical problems and the art was better than the first impression in the demo. In fact the artwork was quite good - not really cartoony.
The game is not perfect. The HOS have no interacting mini-games and the scenes, when repeated, have the same items in the same place every time although you are asked to select different items.
But there is alot to do and I really enjoyed it.

Ghost Towns: The Cats Of Ulthar Collector's Edition
Playing on easy and I am 6 hours into it. Nice story line, few HOG screens, puzzles different from usual games. Music is usually first thing I turn off, this game I have left it on the entire time, as it is a soothing type of music.
Story line is a pleasant difference from the horror genre of late.

Didn' seem finished
Was looking forward to a good ghost story. Once again you must save the child and the town from an unknown evil which in this case has to do with the town's beloved cats. However...
The graphics really threw me. One minute they were quite lovely, and the next they seemed very amatuerish. The same with the cutscenes. It was like you had 2 completely different groups working on this; and then, they just threw the whole thing together. Made it seem very unfinished. I found it to be quite off-putting.
This is an HO/Adventure game, but is mostly HO. The HOs were bright, but a little murky. They were just straight HO, and I think I visited every one at least twice. The puzzles were very standard fair and offered very little challenge. The Adventure tasks were pretty basic-keys, build a ladder, make some glue, etc. There was also quite a bit of backtracking.
Because of the graphics, I have to question whether the game can hold up to a CE so I will pass. I'll take another look when the SE comes out; therefore, I can't recommend this game.

Good HOG for beginners
A good hidden object game for beginners. I just did the demo, but the hog scenes were easy, no real straining of the eyes, the puzzles were not that challenging, very doable. Sometimes the graphics were good, and other times very cartoonish. Music did not seem to fit the storyline, not scary enough. Storyline itself was so-so, save the boy from burning at the stake. Would not but this for myself, but as I mentioned before, a good game for someone that is just getting into Hidden Objects Games

Not exactly enthralling
The story is somewhat original, based on hordes of cats turning into bloodthirsty beasts, except that the only cat you see is the one that meows every 10 seconds and is in charge of the hints.
Most of the game revolves around two components:
- many HO Scenes, which are the usual mess
- a lot of backtracking
A few puzzles here and there, pretty simple and totally standard.
And a few basic and boring tasks that make up the adventure... always the same stuff: find a key, use a crowbar, an axe, etc...
The visuals are not great; the locations are satisfactorily drawn and colored though often blurry, but the intro and the custscenes are terrible.
The music is soft, you have 3 Modes of difficulty, and plenty of hints on Casual which help you find the hidden objects and direct you through the different locales.
The SG is not accessible, so no way to tell how long the game is and what it has in store.
On the basis of the demo, it is hardly worth more than 3 stars due to some of the graphics, the absence of challenge, the too many HO Scenes and the overall lack of originality.
Definitely not a game for my collection.

Inconsistent
I rarely review unless I've purchased a game, but I really had to review this based on the demo. No voiceovers. Grainy, junkpile HOS (hidden object scenes). No interaction with those scenes. Once you're in an HOS, you're committed as it won't let you back out. The HOS are repetitive in that the same objects you've found before are there next time you visit the scene. Interesting story line. The SG was not accessible during the demo at any time that I've found. Lots of running around. The girl you first encounter looks different from cutscene to cutscene. ? different artists? Weird. Also, I noticed that even the HOS vary alot in their lighting/appearance, and ability to find objects. You need specific tools for jobs and once you use most of them they disappear. No widescreen. No map. This game was really not my cup of tea.

Not happy with it
As a cat lover, thought this would be right up my alley. Not so. Finding the cats throughout the game is cute, but the annoying meow when you ask for a hint is not good. You have to find a special key for every door, which can get a bit frustrating. The HOG's are fine. Never could get the Guide to work, which may have been part of my problem. It may have allowed me to move from one place to another easier, but as it was, it was annoying backtracking so darn much. I'm skipping this one!

GREAT GREAT FUN
I don't know why the bad reviews!!! Sure the graphics were not top notch in all scenes - but I think it was done on purpose as some were "cartoonish". No boring, long dialogues. Had to use your head and remember where to use things you found -- so there was some back and forth -- but -- it made you think!!! My only problem . . . I played it twice and I still can't find all the darned cats!

Not for me
Just completed the demo. Good story line but let down by the graphics which appeared to have been done by two separate teams. Far too many HOGs and far too much walking backwards and forwards to obtain and then use one object - you can't progress without doing that in most cases. The cats were badly drawn and did not look remotely sinister. And having one meow for the hint button (even when not using it!) was irritating. The mini games were not remotely challenging - I would think this game is aimed more at the younger market. So won't be buying.
