NEEDS WORK
I believe this is a new game developer for BF. The game contains many HOGs. Most of these scenes contain very small items which are difficult to find. I have a large monitor and could not find many of these. If you have a small monitor it will be almost impossible to locate these items. The graphics are blurry. There is a combination of voice and music on the sliders. So, if you do not wish to hear the music and only the voice, you will not be able to do so. This game just was not entertaining to me. Seems like it should have received more work before it was released.

I wanted to like this game, but I couldn't!
Storyline was typical: Ghosts, island, HOG. It wasn't creepy at all and the voice-overs were horrible. I tried to play the entire trial, but only lasted 45 minutes. I gave it a serious effort though.

Winner!
Music I can live with...not too intrusive on the storyline. No penalties for too many clicks in the hidden object scenes. Easy to follow instructions....hint refills fairly quick. Nice graphics....I'm buying this one.

haunting mystery game
this is an interesting game with good graphics and a fairly good story line.unfortunately its not my cup of tea but i reckon most other players will love it. the hidden object scenes are great some things are hard to find but mostly they are fairly easy.one thing i didnt like was the fact that the hints dont help much except in hos but that isnt a major problem.i myself wont buy it becaise it isnt really what i usually go for but i would definitely recommend it to those who would

Possibly a good game
Review is based on the trial version. There are 4 pages of 'Awards' that you can get in the game. There is 1 Award for playing the game every day of the week and another Award for finishing the game in 3hrs. So, in order to get all the Awards, you'd have to play the game for approx. 25min a day for a week and finish it w/in the 3hrs. The puzzle instructions in the SG are a bit confusing and some of the items in the HOS are hidden real well. I'll probably get the get game just because I like achievements.

Good, not great
Good game helping poor souls, decent story, HOGs with Adventure, revisiting sites, but they are close by. HOGs are easy to see, but sometimes difficult to find - can be tricky. Puzzles have been easy durng 1 hr demo. Story didn't leave me curious. I'll give it another go another day.

Good Main Game
This game started off well for me. The demo held my interest so I bought it.
The graphics were okay and no sound as always turn it off. The storyline itself was fine...I like freeing trapped spirits..lol, the puzzles were not overly challenging but some a little different which was good. The HOS were challenging as some of the items were so well hidden and the scenes a bit dark, so it got a bit annoying and I resorted to the hint button. There were also far too many HOS for me.
The bonus game was a little strange, in that you end up rescuing the main female character again (unless I missed something in the main game!), so it didn't really flow. It was also a bit of a re-hash of the puzzles/objects from the main game so wasn't really worth the extra money.
Overall I did quite enjoy the main game as it was a good length, but for the sequel I would like to see less HOS, with interactive elements, a journal/diary so you don't have to write things down on a piece of paper yourself, and a more exciting bonus chapter.

VERY GOOD HOG!!!!
This HOG is better than average. The graphics and sound are high quality. The HO scenes are challenging and the items you have to find do not repeat themselves as in other HOGs' I have tried. The story line could have used a bit more imagination, but otherwise it is somewhat involving.
Overall one of the better games I have played.

GHOSTS, GHOSTHS!!!
Well.. Nice one, really! But that's mostly all I can say...
I was very disappointed with ghost characters, no lips moving, no body movements, everything I as a player love to see when it comes to attraction...
Game play was kind of challenging but it is starting to annoy me to use a tool from a toolbox each time some doors are to be opened.
From my point of you, not waisted time, but unnecessary to play either...
