Great story
Wonderful characters, whose souls you need to release. Really good VOS. Graphics good except in HOS, which were a bit fuzzy and hard to see without a magnifier. Lots of them, too. A little over 4 hours on casual play.

Worth every penny!
Wow! Really impressed! The story line was captivating and the puzzle scenes and HO games were unique. My only complaint was the HO scenes were a little messy and difficult to find some items-but overall definitely a great game!

Haunting Mysteries: The Island of Lost Souls
Brilliant game. Reminded me of the Midnight Mysteries collection which I also loved.
THE GAME:
- Help the restless souls on the island and defeat the evil one to save the good ones.
- Lovely graphics; nice and clear.
- Clicking between locations in the game was a bit slow some times, but mostly quite good.
HOS/PUZZLES:
- HO scenes were ok, nothing too special. Each item I could find fairly easily. Some interaction. Some scenes were a little frustrating as there was light shining onto the pile of items and you couldn't see them overly well.
- Puzzles ranged between difficulty. Most were quite simple but others needed a little thought. Most of the puzzles I've seen before.
WHAT DO YOU GET?
- No journal or map. (I played on Advanced though so maybe you do get a journal if you play Casual).
- 32 awards to gain, e.g. complete a HO scene in under a minute, or complete a puzzle without help.
- 40 'faces' to collect.
- Three modes of play; Casual, Advanced and Expert.
LENGTH OF GAME:
- Very good length for a SE game. Took me just under 4 hours to complete. You do get time penalties for not completing puzzles though.
All in all, thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend.

few reservations but really enjoyed it
Admitedly i had a few reservations about this game so i tried the trial version first and within 10 mins had decided to buy.
The storyline is great although there is a lot of running back and forth - no map so trying to remember where you needed to go was a bit of a pain.
Some of the HO scenes were fuzzy so used the hint button quite a few times although it does recharge pretty quick on casual mode.
I fnished the game in 2 1/2 hours and it was really good, didnt want it to end!

Very good game
This game was so easy to follow.....The hint tells you just what you need to do & even shows you which objects in your inventory to use.....The VOs were very good because you're talking to a soul & you can't see their mouth move anyway, but it's very understandable......The story flows smoothly & there's not a lot of running around trying to find what goes where.....You do backtrack but only by a scene or two.....The graphics were done neatly & things are easy to see but some of the objects in the HOs are hard to find......You have to move some things around to find an object or some of them are blended in so well it takes some time to find them......I played in the casual mode & this game was very relaxing & easy to follow.....Also, you don't tear your hair out trying to find things or where to go next......I highly recommend this game & I commend the developers on a job well done......Would love to see more like this......Thanks Big Fish & I hope the devs bring us lots more games....

Great for beginners!!
The game is a basic HOG, pretty simple and straight forward all the way through. Not much challenge.
It was smooth flowing,good graphics.
Missing excitement, intrigue.
So, it was ok, great game to start with.
Cannot recommend, or not recommend!
