Great story,Voices, Dreary,dull colors used in all graphics
I own all of this Game Developers games and I appreciate their quality game testing, they do not use their customers for beta testing!
I love the storyline it is very interesting.
I love the map and the way we can jump instantly to location.
I love the voice overs they are very well done.
I own every game from this Developer and the majority are beautiful colored graphics with beautiful animation. It is a shame the G.D did not continue to use beautiful colored graphics in this game. This Game could have been so much more interesting to play if they had changed colors in the graphics and used more animation. I hate the bland lifeless colors used in all the graphics. The story could show a deserted town and remained interesting by using beautifully colored graphics. In my opinion the graphics are dull and lifeless not beautifully done like in Game Developers other games.
I hate all the mechanical assembly required, it is not fun for me.
I hate the Game Designer chose to use the most depressing, dark bluish graphics even in the hidden object screens it takes the fun out of the hidden object scenes they are dreary,lifeless, static graphics.
This game has a interesting storyline I buy games for the storyline especially with voices. I will not be buying Collectors Edition for the above reasons. I own every collector Edition thus far, but I will wait for this to go on sale. It is a shame because the voices in the game are very well done. I hope the Game Developer will not make this a habit of using dark, dreary, lifeless, colors and boring mechanical assembly of objects in future games. In my opinion a little of mechanical assembly is tolerated but this game carries it to the extreme.

Didn't Like It.
Ten minutes of the demo was enough for me to decide not to purchase this game. The scenes were small, dull and uninteresting. Nah.

Creepy but Excellent
Excellent game all the way
You are a detective trying to figure out what is causing a town to be so weird. The adults in the town are all frozen in time while the orphanage kids are not. The kids from the orphanage were dropped off at the orphage as newborns (all 10 of them were dropped off at the same time). The bonus play goes into more detail about who dropped them off there.
Graphics were excellent. Plenty of creepy scenes with the kids glowing eyes. Music fit game well.
HOS were very good and pretty easy. The scenes were not cluttered which made it easier. There are two types of HOS. One type is the list kind, the other is placing objects where they need to go.
Some puzzles were easy, while others were more difficult that took time to complete, but none were impossible.
There were also 40 morphing objects you can collect throughout game, one morphing object in each area (40 areas in main game). Majority of them were reletively easy to find, there was a few that took me a little bit of time to find (if you leave area and then come back to area, you might actually find it right away).
There was an interactive map which made the game a whole lot easier for navigating to different areas. If the circle in map is green, then there is something you need to do there. If grey, nothing to do. The map also tells you if there is a morphing object to collect. You just click on area you want to go to and you jump there automatically.
The bonus play had quite a few areas too.
Main game took me approx 4.5-5 hours.
Bonus play was a good 1.5 hours.
Excellent game.

The truth is out there. More precisely, in Fort Nightingale.
Oh boy, these developers did it again.
This game was just wonderful on all levels.
These devs do extremely well in the "space" genre, so what we have here is a very enthralling storyline with a wonderful development and amazing environment that mends perfectly with the story.
Pros:
- The graphics are marvellous! They look realistic but not too much, just the way I like it. And they also have the right amount of crisp and are very clear;
- The environment is so well made, I found it hard to let go of the game. Fort Nightingale is very well depicted as an abandoned town but you still can sense that something's not right;
- The ambient sounds are top notch. The rain falling in the town, the machinery sounds on the spaceship, the birds singing in the Indian reservation all make up for a very captivating and fascinating experience;
- The music is nice, too. It doesn't intrude and is eerie, just like it should be;
- The storyline is very interesting and very well unfurled through character dialogues, cut-scenes, newspaper articles and the journal. The premise that I was actually going to see the "Moon People" was wonderful and those government conspiracies sub-plot was also great because I love these things and because it was really well made and everything made actual sense overall;
- The voice-overs for the "alienated" children was very well made and it sounded very "robotic" which just fitted perfectly and made you feel opressive while around them;
- There were just enough hidden objects scenes and I just loved the ones where you had to put items on the scene instead of just looking for them! The objects were easy to spot and the scenes were very crisp and also clear;
- The bonus chapter was completely worth it because it had the right length, the story was interesting and it had a mystifying environment! By the end f the bonus chapter, since it told something that had happened before the main game, I totally felt like playing the game again!;
I have no cons whatsoever against this game.
This game was, overall, a very special experience and it was definitely a worthwhile one. "Alien Town" shows just how deep and engrossing a hidden objects game can be.
So much, much more than just a "hidden objects game"!
