Really dumb game
This is a poorly produced game with a really bad story. They try to make up for the poor story with what some might consider humor, but that I consider gag-me time. Game play is somewhat tedious - up and down elevator, etc. The HINT button does give useful info. I think this dog is a waste of time and money, even discounted money.

Fun!
Rather fun for a silly little game. Game play is easy and nice, hint system good, music nice, HOGs simple, games easy. Graphics are a bit old school, but not bad at all. Didn't run into any voice-overs in the demo, but could have used a few here and there.
This is a nice little game for a no brainer, lazy day like today. I liked it and I will buy it and take advantage of the sale today. Thanks for the reviews.

I longed for more?
I was pleased to find a new developer here. I hoped to see a new stream of fresh ideas, unique features. Maybe I should not have had such high hopes.
I will start with the best parts of the game. And it is, of course, sense of personal participation. Quite a few games here can offer this. I will also praise the devs for the interactivity involved. HOS are much more fun with such an addition. I have seen better graphics in other games, this game can?t boast of extremely good visuals. The music was quite a surprising touch to the overall impression. Luckily, no repetitive compositions that make you sick and tired. On the whole, the game mechanics was satisfactory, no tech problems experienced.
My main complaint is easy HOS. I like the games with a pretty amount of challenge. it sounds weird but I do like to agitate my grey cells, to be busy around solving something entertaining and complicated at the same time. Unfortunately this game could not offer this to me. The storyline also should be better; did not like it, have seen many of this kind
I give the game 3 stars out of 5. May be the devs will be up with something more original.

Mystic Rubbish!
I downloaded the trial for game a while ago and got distracted by others (Dark Parables, Haunted Halls) before finally trying it out. I was sadly very disappointed by it.
The graphics were poorly done and had little depth so everything was very 2D in appearance. I felt the opening sequences were particularly bad - the vampire looked straight out of Scooby Doo and the wolf looked like he was dancing! The music fell flat too (sorry, no pun intended!).
I also think they could have spent more time on the story line - there was just nothing to it, no decent background, no real reasons given for anything.
Finally I thought the HOS were odd, some very well rendered objects and then some of such poor quality which was a shame. And they were too easy.
However, I did think the map was quite good and the hint button gave clear clues and recharged fairly quickly. That isn't enough reason for me to buy it though and I'm giving it two stars as a result. Big Fish, you can do better than this!

Great Game
It was not a beginners game for me. A lot of backtracking and then remembering where to go next.
- 2 modes casual and expert
-notebook to see achievements and progress
-map .. you can jump from place to place
-you collect lions throughout the game, which allows access to mini games
-hint button
-reset button to ship puizzles
-you interact in H O and some are small to see
-good graphjics

Interesting, but could be better
You don't get much of the story line from the beginning, there are no voice-overs and the text scrolls a little too quickly. The puzzles are pretty easy too. All in all it is a game for a lazy afternoon and for people not too interested in the story line.

Another 'Vampire Kidnaps My Friend' Game
I'll admit, the whole 'the vampire took my friend' idea is getting old. But from what I saw in the demo, the creators have made it rather interesting.
There is a lack of voice overs, so you're stuck reading the lines...it's a very quiet game, save for the small bits of music and sound effects. The artwork is decent. The hint button tells you what to do next.
I'm undecided on if I want to purchase the game or not. It wasn't a really exciting game and it was boring to me, but then I did enjoy a few things. But I encourage you to try the demo first! It could save your money!

Maybe a good game?
I was finding the demo interesting. However, then I came to a puzzle which I didn't want to solve with such a short time to do it. Found I couldn't even back out of it and do something else!
Maybe there was a way, but I couldn't see it.
Not a very good demo, making it hard to see if the game was fun or not!

Better games out there.
I felt this game was a step backward in graphics. Just okay. I didn't buy it after playing for almost an hour.
