this is based on a 30 minute demo
i quit the demo to buy i liked this game so much. i didn't give "5"s yet as i haven't played the whole thing and will return to give it a final review, but based on the 30 minutes of demo i completed...it was longer, but i stopped, i think this is going to be one of my favorite games. i really got into the game and really didn't want to end it, but i like to start them over when i open them after buying them and i won't get to it for awhile. i try to play the games i buy in order that i have bought them. i think if you like HO games you will pleasantly surprised at this one. it grabbed me right away. this is the first time i have reviewed a game after playing the demo only, that i can remember.

Good Game - Worth buying
I'm still getting over the misery that is MCF9. So it was great to come across a game that is interesting, fun to play, a good length and just generally worth 4 stars. A bit formulaic - you have to help people that probably don't deserve it - and also quite linear. Nonetheless, it's entertaining. And that's really all I need in a game.

Fantastic
Alright so what we are dealing with is a Sea monsters game set in a sea side town. The puzzles and hidden objects scenes are all well done along with the pacing of the game, sounds and graphics are nice- I really liked the artwork in a lot of the scenes.
At the end of the day its a fantastic HO game and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. If your picky in the HO games you play and only want to play the cream of the crop this is one of the ones that is it; at least that is what I found and many other reviews agree.

Fun, fun, fun!
This game is so much fun! The puzzles are different, fun to solve, and not extremely difficult (which is a plus, because I was ready to move on to the next part of the story). This game has great scenery and artwork, perfectly matched spooky music, and an innovative "villain". It also features a map, so you can jump from place to place, and you use objects you find fairly close to where you find them (I like this because I can never remember which room had the chest with the tiny key or had the door with the amulet slot). I also enjoyed the "charging" of the crystals.
It you're looking for a game that is fun and beautiful, interesting and charming, but not exceedingly difficult, and a story that is a little different from the usual ghost/demon/stolen soul fare, you should definitely give this one a chance.

Not Bad but Not My Favorite
It is a good game but quite short. Although I played it on expert mode the puzzles were way too easy but other than that the visual quality is very very good.

A Very Enjoyable Game!
Good story line and not overdone with HO'S! Has all the attributes of a collectors edition! Interactive map, precise hints! Game is very precise and very well thought out by it's creators! Just a joy to play! Was sorry to see it end!

Good game
This game got my attention with the first scene. I liked that, rather than lull you into a game, it's nice getting your heart pumping from the get go. I wish I had gotten the CE since the SE seemed to end abruptly. Still, was a fun adventure.
