Not the best, but far from the worst.
Okay - it's not Mystery Case Files or Mystery Trackers - but it's not the worst game I've played, either. It's just not all that bad. The graphics, for the most part, are pretty good. Hidden object scenes were junkpiles, but most items were fairly easy to find. An object now and then would be tough to find, but that's why it's called a hidden object game. The hint system worked nicely within the scenes. Instead of locating the item for you, it puts up a picture of part of the scene with the item highlighted. You then close the hint window and locate the item. I liked that way better than some hint systems that give you a flash of light that's so fast you can't see it. Outside of the hidden object scenes, the hint button was a great strategy guide! When you click on the hint button, a list comes up and tells you exactly what you need to do, where to go, etc. The few puzzles that needed to be done were pretty simple. There is a carnival game that was more fun than I thought it would be, and not as easy as I thought it would be. There were some puzzles I found a bit disconcerting where you had to put a picture right, but the "picture" turned and moved and made it a little tough for me, and I did end up skipping those. There is no skip button, but, when in a puzzle, click on the hint button and it will ask if you want to skip. I can't comment on the music because I turned it down at the beginning of the game, something I almost always do. Sound effects and environment sounds were fine. There were voiceovers and they were okay. The talking didn't mesh with the movement of the characters' mouths, but, who cares. The voices themselves were good. There were a few hidden objects that perplexed me...a green bell pepper was called "capsicum", an artichoke ended up being a "cabbage", and I had to use a hint to find out what an "aldrop" is. It turned out to be a latch sort of thing on a chest or trunk. All in all..the game was okay. I enjoyed playing it, as the scenes were well done, the colors and graphics were crisp and clean, and the storyline was just creepy enough...a cursed ring, a sleeping wife, an evil witch...and a fortune teller! There's more fun...try the game for yourself if you want a game that isn't all that taxing, but is enjoyable.

yawn
This game just didn't grab me. I didn't like the way the screen went dark whenever you changed scenes, the tasks were too easy, and the graphics were dull. It might be ok for a beginner, but anyone that has done hidden object games in the past will be bored. There are so many better ones for the same price.

Disappointing
I really wanted to enjoy this game but as soon as it started I was disappointed. After having played so many games with gorgeous graphics this game left me wanting. The figures were stiff and a lot of things were not in the right proportion. You can't hurry conversations and the hint button game me a list of things I had to do, which was no help. I left the game shortly after starting it.

DIFFERENT,CHILLING,SPOOKY, WATCH OUT,TERRIFIC,SCREAMING,
IF YOUR VOLUME IS UP YOU WILL TRULY GET THE FEELING...YIKES!! LOUD IS GOOSEBUMPS***
THINGS ARE HIDING FROM YOU...STAY FOCUSED, THIS IS DIFFERENT, LOTS OF SNAKES,UGH!!, SPOOKY PEOPLE, ALSO THEY ARE UGLY!
CLUES ALL OVER, STAY ALERT, DON'T POOH POOH THE HIDDEN OBJECT SCENES,there are many,they are a different style, but, within THEM are CLUES and more clues for later, but can you SPOT them? FOCUS, READ, and watch everything. not much running around, but that doesn't mean it's easier.
The HINTS are new and different. I was totally surprised when i hit the HINT BUTTON!! I wanted to see how well it worked. SURPRISE!!! You must READ, be patient, READ!! It tells you what you need to know. Be sure and always LOOK UP^^ Everybody talks to you and the story is right on cue. So LISTEN to their VOICE and what they say.
Graphics, colors, action, tools, are all GOOD. Perform well.
The PUZZLES were not difficult, kind of, but were part of what you needed to acquire items. So give it a good try and you will beat it. Its not a long game but a new experience in performance and playing. I LIKED PLAYING IT!! I LIKE DIFFERENT. THEY DID A GOOD JOB ON THIS GAME AND I DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG...WELL except the batteries on my mouse went DEAD at an inappropriate time, with unacceptable results. TUCHE~!! a fun game :)afor everyone!!

Buy only if on DD.
Low level challenge, clumsy interface (can't click thru dialogues, screen goes black between scenes) not really much to offer. Daily Deal only (if that).

Intriguing HOPA
I really enjoyed this game -- graphics, story, hint/SG, variety. HOS are dark sometimes, but not impossible.

Boring
Boring, repetitive and short. I would give 2 stars if not the map (cool idea).

Could be ramped up and fixed up
This is a good HO game. Family friendly so far during the 60 play. The graphics were great the voices were good. The game has got some good potential.
Problems. The black out between areas was very annoying. Then also the lips not moving with the talking was annoying. The game itself was a little slow and had a hard time staying awake, but I am tired so maybe that was just it.
The game is good for kids and beginners. I hope if they make a collector edition they ramp it up and fix it up.

Stick with it!
The first 10 minutes saw me go through enjoyment and sheer frustration. I was determined to try to find the intrigue of a good game. I was just reaching that 'fascination' of wanting to know what came next when I was at the end of the dem.
Yet another version of a well told story but a good one. Ok it's not rocket science but it's a good game to have for when you don't have time to get over-involved. A good family game. So don't give up, stick with it.
Well done Devs, keep up the promising work. It's going on my list of 'to buy'.
