has everything i love!.........almost
i played on expert mode, so no sparkles and hints recharged slowly. no HOS was great. the scenery, music, images, and voice overs were excellent.
i took my time, enjoying everything. it took me 3 days to complete. don't know just how long but i played at least 2-3 hours each day.
i had to use the strategy guide a half dozen times or so just because i didn't want to wear out my sneakers. there is no teleporting map, which would have made the game more fun and the map doesn't show all the places. if it did, i wouldn't have needed the strategy guide.
kudos to the devs for making such a game as this. i hope there are more like it.
don't forget to play the demo before buying. it's not for beginners.

Wow... just wow :D
Don't hesitate to buy this game. Alot of puzzles not to hard and no HOS that i remember..!! Just a very good game. The only ''hic'' is in the map it shows you were you are but you cannot go from the map to locations directly you have to walk.
Oh! well...i guess i'm just lazy.
I RECOMMEND THIS GAME go for it.

Great Story and Puzzles!
This game is amazing! I love the vairety that this game offers. Thank you for the map and two books to carry. It adds to the overall story. The puzzles could have been harder but other than that this is a top notch game. Please keep them coming. I love hidden object games but not every game has to have those to be a hit. This is a nice break. I would still consider it hidden object since you are constantly searching for needed items. Hat's off to the developers!

FINALLY A GOOD GAME!
It's been a few months since I have come aross a HO game that's had me hooked from the beginning! I absolutely love ERS games, and this one is probably my FAVE! Amazing, spooky atmosphere and graphics. I normally like the regular HO scenes, however this one is a bit different in how you find objects...but I actually liked it a little better;) I can't wait for another ERS game. Gonna be hard to top this one, for me atleast :)

Best Game All Summer
I absolutely love this game. I enjoyed the adventure without all the HOS scenes. Although, it may not have been challenging enough for some gamers, for me it was perfect. I didn't have to struggle too much with some of the puzzles - only a couple of them gave me a real challenge.
I love ERS and this is the best game they have done as far as I'm concerned. If you want a great afternoon (in my case, it took 2 days to complete), definitely buy this game.

Gothic Fiction: Dark Saga CE
I was pulled into this game from the first hour's worth of play. Took me no time at all to purchase this Collector's Edition.
The set designs are amazing. As the story progresses, you are led into an ill-kept school building, an outbuilding falling into disrepair, and a rather toxic looking lake. All of these scenes are what you'd might imagine. But, ERS takes you on an incredible Gothic fantasy into scenes that are creepy, eerie, dark, macabre, fascinating... all without being gory.
Lots of puzzles. Normally, I don't care for puzzles, and bypass them (the SKIP button is my best friend!). But, these were fun and I enjoyed playing them.
I used the Strategy Guide quite a bit. The Map and Notebook were not as helpful as I would have liked, and the Hint button only let you know there either was or wasn't anything to do in that area, didn't guide to to where you needed to be.
Just as a hint: make sure you find all of the Book pages. (My bad for getting distracted with something else in the story and not collecting them all. It was TEE DEE OUS going back to the beginning to find my error.)
The only disappointment was with the Extras. The wallpapers were of boring scenes that I felt did not highlight the uniqueness of the game. There were so many other truly lovely, delightful scenes to have chosen to make wallpapers from. The screensaver was disappointing, also. I would have loved to have had one of the Gothic action scenes.
Overall, this game is loads of fun, and has three levels of difficulty to choose from. I hated every minute that I had to stop the game to go take care of adult responsibilities.

Very challenging game
Very enjoable, and with few if any hog scenes. The mini-games was challenging without being to extreme, and the story was very good, and the minigames was very different which added to the fun factor.
