AND THE GRAY FAMILY SAGA CONTINUES...
GAME COMPLETED SEVERAL TIMES
This time it is your nephew who has caused calamity to befall your sister?s happy little family. A demon, masquerading as a witch (um, sorry, make that a wise old woman from the swamp), convinces Brandon to take a magic quill. This quill allows any wish written with it to come true.
Unknown to Brandon, the demon is of course setting him up. Each time he uses the quill, more of his life force is taken.
Being a pretty bright kid considering his parentage (how could 2 SENSIBLE people get into so much trouble!), Brandon twigs to what is going on and he stops using it, but it is too late.
He has made 3 wishes and it will soon destroy him. Enter SUPERAUNTIE.
Beginning with a rather unimposing intro, followed by the ordinary house the Grays now live, it?s easy to expect things to be a little more laid back. Not a bit of it, nothing is of course ordinary.
This game is as complex and ingenious as the last, with DOZENS OF BEAUTIFUL LOCATIONS. Again, there is a fairly heavy load of interactive HO SCENES, combined with a DELUGE of PUZZLES OF ALL DIFFICULTY LEVELS, edging to more difficult than easy. With all that is jammed into it, it is not surprising that this game is LONG, and you?ll want to set aside some time for it.
As you?d expect from this series, we have SPECTACULAR GRAPHICS, along with appropriate MUSIC, ENVIRONMENTAL SOUNDS and VOICEOVERS. If you?ve not played any of this series before, you?re in for quite a treat.
Another delightful concoction from one of our favourite developers.

Illogical
This could be a great game, but I didn't like the logic of some puzzles. You arrive to your sisters house and to enter it you must find a wolf medallion and use it as door key... What???
Didn't like it because of these moments. But you can try it for your self.

Great challenging game!
I love all "Grim Tales" games, but I think this one's the best in terms of challenging. You have to free a family from a witch. I played in Expert mode, so no sparkles.
- The graphics are crisp. The objects in the HOS are easy to find. The hint system is good in those.
- The puzzles are sometimes really challenging and not the ones you get usually.
- A puppet tells you what happened in the past.
- A cat helps you often in your tasks!
- There is no journal.
- There is an interactive map. It shows you the locations where there are tasks as well as a list of these tasks. Clicking on a location brings you to it, so no time spent walking back and forth!
- The dialogs have the option "click to continue" which is good when you are a quick reader.
- The overall hint system is very good, since it tells you what to do next and where.
There is a looot to do and even if it took me nearly 3 hours to finish, I really had the feeling of having played longer!

Well worth it!
This game is wonderful. Captivating story line with many side stories. Great amount of game time even on casual. Love the map with ability to travel to different spots in the story. Hint recharge is quick. Right amount of hidden object and minigames. As an avid, picky gamer, this game has little if anything to complain about. Have fun!

Ability to brighten up scenes makes it easy on the eyes!!
I've been getting tired of glaring into dark, dingy and gloomy scenes. This game was a delight to play.

Ok but not terrific
When I played the demo I thought it was fun and seeing who the developer was I normally really liked their games, but somewhere about the middle it got a bit tedious and confusing at times. However, you do get a map and this does help as there is a lot of going back and forth. The graphics are great, the storyline is fairly good, but sometimes the next thing to do didn't make sense. Even with the map there is a lot of remembering to do, so I found myself jumping back and forth a lot trying to get to the right place on the map to take the next step. The puzzles were challenging, but not to hard. Overall an OK game, but towards the middle I found myself wanting to quit because it was to much back and forth for me.

STOP THAT DANG TICKING CLOCK Lol...
I like using sound with the games and it makes it a much better experience but hells bells there's a dang ticking clock over and over and over and over again. I can't deal with that.
Game makers should realize that a constant ticking clock will drive players nuts.
So, turn down the sound and play? Sure. No sound? Boo.

Not bad, but not the best
1) The Exorcist, revisited? *yawn*.
2) Was I the only one tired of running back and forth between the forest and the backyard with no shortcut?
3) Too much items to collect and too many places requiring a specific item at the same time; it is really confusing.
4) Fluffy is the only hero of this game.

Hidden object Game
I found the game rather tiresome. Too much up and down the stairs, through tunnels and swamps. It's a good game if you don't have anything else to do for awhile.
