Where Angels Cry

Average game, not really inviting. Only 30 minutes free trial!
An investigation of strange events, including a statue "crying blood," in medieval Rome.
Story is not bad, the graphics are well done, VO ok.
Sound is boring, but you can turn off .
No HO Scenes ... (at least in free trial). The required objects are found throughout the game.
Several mini games - easy and well known.
Three game modes.
It has a journal, tasks (and if you click on it, it has more tips).
The best is - Collect 21 angels to unlock achievements. I love to collect!
The main problem is that the game is very slow: lengthy cutscenes (the worst is the horse in the snow!), excessive dialogues and loading takes too long.
Worth the half hour free. It might be good for beginners.

Holy Smokes, A Fantastic Adventure Game!
Hard-core Adventures, rejoice! For O Mighty BFG has brought unto us an adventure game that will test our worthiness and offer us a chance to redeem ourselves by using the sacred brain that was giveth to us. HOG lovers will be disappointed as there are no HO scenes in this game; pure adventure with awesome features at play here. Where Angels Cry is a wonderful mystery that takes place in a Monastry high on the alps of Lombardy. You are an agent of the vatican, a monk that is set to investigate the disapearance of a Brother John. In addition there is a statue that appears to be shedding tears of blood. Can you say ' Name of the Rose' meets Nancy Drew? The Graphics are gorgeous, crisp and bright with good animations that look like 3D. There are voice-overs with italian accents that are actually not very good along with sound effects and very effective music. The developers have really gone to bat with game features and I loved that they added gameplay settings. You have 3 modes of difficulty and option to customise your settings like sparkles, extended tasks and fast hint/skip recharge. You also have HD graphics as an option for those who have newer computors. When starting the game, you find yourself equiped with a journal that has a diary section, a tasks list, a help section and best, a game info that gives you updated progress as you play. There are achievements to be had as well as collecting 20 angles hidden throughout the game that will unlock a bonus section. Once I started playing, after the first 15 minutes in adventure mode, I was hooked. New-comers to the adventure genre may find it intimidating at first, you start picking up items as you search the area and before you know it, you have 20 things in your inventory and then the fun is to figure out where to use them. There are mini-games as well but so far they were easy to complete. Some inventory items will be combined and if you have chosen 'extended Tasks', you will have guidance in the game. No doubt a walkthrough will be handy but this really is a great opportunity to challenge those grey cells. I loved the game and after having completed the demo, I am eager to continue tonight and solve what appears to be a very sinister mystery inside the walls of the Monastry.

Loved the Title
Loved the Title, loved the theme and loved the first cutscene.... very promising, but that was about it !!
Even though the game is beautifully drawn, one very soon get the feeling, that this is a very, very old game - feels clumpsy while playing.
I finnished the demo in 28 mins - and I didn't skip any minigames. I checked the walkthrough, and realized, that the demo is almost half the game... Come on.... who would pay for a game that last about an hour ???
I general... a very easy game, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as there are so many good games in the pond.
My Overall rating is given for the storyline and the drawings..... but the game itself hardly deserve the one star I rated the funfactor.
Forget this game and move on !!!!

"WOW" must be Christmas, at last a pure Adventure Game
I finished the game and just loved it. No wasting time on boring HO junk-pile-lists.
The story was very good and the adventure was great.
Please bring many more pure adventure games on the market and very important let us clearly find them under 'Adventure' and not under 'Hidden Objects'!
I am sure thousands of gamers would be more than happy if that happens!!!

REVIEW OF COMPLETED GAME
This is not a HOPA, it is a PA - there are no HOS. I do not deplore this. I can either take HOS or leave them. I almost finished the demo before I realized this, it was that good. Well done graphics. Good story in a new setting. Always appreciate that. Enjoyed the music. Interesting puzzles which did not give me too much trouble, except for the number ones, which I absolutely suck at. Excellent hint button. One or two lost spirits but that is because the character is a monk on a mission, but for the most part it is a tale of murder and mad ambition.
There are a variety of achievements to gain and that really adds to the enjoyment of this excellent game from Cateia, which plays on wide screen and took me 4 hours. As usual Margie B has given an excellent WT, but I only needed it once, as the game is logical and progressive and the navigation is flawless. There are not loads and loads of locations, which I dislike, so you do not get lost at all and I do not think the lack of a map is a drawback at all. I never even thought about a map.
I was totally engrossed in this terrific game and very sorry when it ended. I could easily have played on for hours and never been bored.
Wonderful job, devs. You really nailed it with this one. As good, if not better, as all your others. Hats off.

Nice Adventure Game
I love this game! Thanks BFG for offering this adventure game and something a little different. I played in the advance mode (middle selection) and found the game to be fairly easy and enjoyable. I didn?t have to consult a walkthrough once. I?ve played a lot of large file adventure games, my preferred genre, and I detest having to rely on a walkthrough just to get through a game.
The game ran really well on my older computer, scene changes were very quick and the customized curser did not drag. I thought the graphics were absolutely beautiful and not grainy. The music was nice and pertinent to the game. The hint system was very good, from clicking on an item in the journal to the actual hit button. The mini-games varied from very easy to somewhat challenging (I only skipped one). I usually take my time with games and I played this one for about 4 hours.
I thought the story was interesting and different from what has been offered lately. There may not be a lot of action in the game, but I found it to be an interesting murder mystery set in beautiful surroundings. This might be a good game for someone new to the genre, but it may also appeal to the more experience adventure player as well. It certainly kept my interest!

Medieval Charm
Refreshing story, believable characters and situation with perhaps an undertone of something more sinister than is first apparent. HD graphics are beautiful, but furniture and buildings look more 19th-20th than 13th century.
Like the customization feature (select HD, speed of hint and skip recharge, et al). You really have to think about how to accomplish your task, even though your journal will provide very vague clues of what you need to do. Collect angels (though you find this out by accidentally clicking one ? don?t know why games don?t tell you this upfront). An entertaining day of relaxed play.

Very strong at start, petered out to abrupt end.
Based on completed game in Hardest of 3 Modes called "Challenge".
First the Likes/Observations, followed by dislikes.
Likes/Observations:
True Challenge Mode - No glimmers, glints, winks. Loved it!
Concept - Appointed by Cardinal to investigate Angel status crying blood at Medieval Monastery surrounded by friends and foe . Very cool!
Sense of Humor - There were some very clever and funny little bits throughout until the final scene. Thanks!
No HOS! :) NONE. ZIPPO.
Mini-Games - Not much new, but packaged very cleverly. In challenge mode it was not always obvious where the mini-games could be found or what needed to be collected which added interest.
Graphics - Very clean & crisp allowing very small objects to be hidden in plain sight, sending me to the strategy guide more than once.
VO good & Characters interesting
Opening Doors - Access was typically mini-game or key. No back and forth to find a shape that plugs into a box to get another shape to plug in to somewhere else and on and on..eventually leading to opening the door if you can remember where it was. Thanks team!
Map & Area Clear: There was no map and no "area clear", but no need based on the way the game was organized. Areas and even portions of the scene were inaccessible when not needed.
Little to no backtracking - yay.
Awards for those who like them: Find 21 angels to unlock various mysteries about the storyline. I found 19. :( Many other awards given for not using hints or skipping games, etc. All can be viewed at any time.
Dislikes:
Short Game - It did not take long to play and, despite the initial promise of the storyline when it felt to be about mid-way through the game I was actually at the finish.
Concept not fully developed- The Angel, who looked more like a gargoyle to me, crying blood is a minor character & referenced as part of a puzzle at beginning of game. That's it.
The game is exciting until acquisition of "the first" precious artifact. Wow. What will be next? Almost nothing. No more artifacts acquired. ?????
What was left of the game was brief. It included mini-games, one that is timed, a trip through a labyrinth for which we are given the map leaving no challenge, chit-chat about the mystery, then a very abrupt, disjointed ending.
It was so great not to be on a deserted island or castle or ghost ship. There was such potential. Everything had been really fun and interesting with an abrupt about face. What happened team? Was there a time crunch pushing the game out which shortened and confused the storyline? A change in designers/developers? Did I somehow take a short-cut path causing me to miss half the game?
Journal - Of limited use as it contained hints and answers. Sometimes needed for reference. Also, kind of a nit, but an irritant nonetheless, The journal did not increment itself when entries were added.The journal would signal a new entry, but when opened it was still on the previous entry.
I do recommend the SE of this game because the first part is fun and interesting and by using a Monastery they took us away from castles and islands.
Perhaps the CE will have more meat on its bones.

3 stars for length but it's a good adventure with all the extras!
Cateia games (hotel, crystal valley) are clever as they realise there are people who want to try pure adventure games but find LF daunting so they do easier games and here is obviously trying to appeal to the HOPA player who is looking for something different but familiar enough not to feel lost and this is a bridge game (bridges the gap)
This does not mean more seasoned adventure players don?t enjoy their games it?s just a different type of game and change of pace.
The one major thing I have to point is the ending. If you are expecting a ?nice? family friendly plot with no darkness in it then the ending will disappoint. I thought it was daft to do an ending like that as they are reducing the amount of players for this game and there was no indication in the short demo that it would be like that and even if you didn?t have a problem with it, I thought the plot ending was not good as you?d never guess it or see it coming and thought it would be more reasonable or tie in with the main story better.
I bought this with a coupon as I knew it would be short, as I did the demo in about 35 mins and I felt it was pretty far through the game but I did get nearly 3 hrs out of it, playing for all the achievements. I don?t recommend any games under 3hrs and very rarely around that mark, but because this game had 21 collectables (angels) and 20 achievements (one of which is finish the game in under 3 hrs!) I do recommend it if you are that type of gamer or don?t mind re the time so much but if you liable to skip a lot of puzzles or dialogue etc then I don?t recommend it for you.
There is a journal, with to do tasks, as well as general information of how long you?ve been playing how many achievements you have etc.
There is quite a few of find ?x? items in the game but it?s never a separate scene it?s in the game.
There are 20 puzzles ranging from easy old school which were all at the beginning; move stack of boxes from one pile to another, rotating circles to make a picture, 2 easier nonograms, they repeat the ?get every light to the same colour a few times by pressing on them? to a couple of hard ones and I must have spent at least 15 mins on one!
The quite rare thing about this adventure game is you can skip the puzzles and also you don?t need to manually save the game it auto does it for you. . You have three choice of gameplay or a fourth ? custom where you can choose to have or not ? sparkles, fast hint/skip charge, extended tutorial. Another thing to make it easier for you is that a character has a large ?I? above his head if you speak with him.
Some CONS ?
-You have to collect the same bucket 3 times in the game, why you don?t keep I don?t know.
-Some very well blended objects
-Slow load times between chapters
-Would love the option of manual save, as I messed up a puzzle for an achievement and had to replay the whole game again
-Short especially if you are a fast player
-A few items were hard to find as were very well blended in and I don?t even have problems with my eyesight
-achievements I don?t like replaying a game to get them all and prefer it on once screen so it?s easier to see than scrolling
PROS
-Collectables
-Achievements
-Fully customisable gameplay as well as audio and video
-Crisp graphics
-Very enjoyable gameplay
If only they made it about an hour longer it would have made all the difference and more people would have bought it but thanks for a good adventure.

Not For Me
Seems I disagree with the other reviews on this one. The graphics are grey and grainy so that items are hard to find. You end up just moving the cursor around waiting to find a spot where the icon changes rather than searching for things.
I found the storyline boring and flat, didn't capture my attention at all. The interaction with the characters were long and I lost interest in what I was to do next.
I don't recommend this game.
