Wow! Love this developer and I've always been intrigued by the JFK Assassination. What a perfect combo for me! First off the graphics are clear and colorful.The puzzles are fun and the storyline is gripping. I totally recommend this game!

REVIEW OF COMPLETED GAME
Good little game, if you do not mind it being only 3 hrs long. I did not as it is only a SE and I enjoyed it.
The graphics are really good - precise and sharp. The HOS are quite plentiful, but also sharp and very clear and do not take long. The puzzles are mostly ones I have not seen before, and rather fun.
Your mother witnessed the assassination of JFK and was plagued by visions all her life. When she died, the visions passed to you. You fade in and out of reality and keep getting taken back to 1963. There is someone with the same ability, but they are bent on doing something they shouldn't ought to and you have to stop them.
I went to the Book Depository, the Grassy Knoll, Parklands Hospital, Jack Ruby's Club, the Oval Office, Condor Island and Lee Harvey Oswald's house, among other places, where I also encountered his wife and child. I met JFK and Oswald,
There is live footage of that tragic day, which is sad and brought a lump to my throat. So long ago, yet when you view it again, you are again struck by the enormity and horror of that day. People in shock and disbelief, wandering around, trying to comfort each other, unable to comprehend what just happened.
Although it is a different dev., it is very much along the lines of Gracelands, but on a much smaller scale, as that game was much bigger and grander.
The voice overs and music were good and the text ran at a reasonable speed.
There is a very good jump map, which I always appreciate. The hint/skip button were not as fast as I would have liked, but they were not too bad. Navigation is good enough not to rankle, if not instant. The hint button, outside the HOS, actually leads you straight to where you have to go, which I felt was a bit superfluous, given the jump map, but some people have a problem with jump maps, so might appreciate this feature.
It was done well enough to keep me interested.. I enjoyed it and am glad I bought it.
A little longer next time, devs., people are put off by short games. 4 hrs would be more acceptable and earn you more sales.

Lacks respect for JFK
Since this occured during my time, at first I thought it would be an interesting game. However when the "ghost" of JFK appeared I immediately quit and "trashed" it. I'm sorry but to me this was completely disrespectful of the whole Kennedy family!! I hope Caroline did not see this. She has been thru enough!! Time to let the Kennedys rest in peace!! Nancy

well made HO game!
This game was rather different then any I've played in awhile. The graphics are excellent but I didn't like the music.The voice-overs were good as were the HO scenes. The hint button told you where to go next but it was rather slow in recharging. All in all, a rather enjoyable game.

Fun and Informative Game
I remember that day in Dallas like yesterday. This game has some new puzzles which are very fun and it does have a map which teleports. The hint system will also direct you to the location you need to be. I love the storyline (anything to do with the Kennedys I'm hooked). I highly recommend this game.

Very Interesting!
I enjoyed this little game. I was very intrigued right from the get go, being a baby boomer myself. It kept my attention the whole way through, but with a bit of sadness. I enjoyed the puzzles, hidden objects were fairly easy, just whipped through those. Seeing the places and reading the placards I liked a lot, though like I said, with a tinge of sadness. All in all, it was a great 2 hours. Thanks BF! and developers!

Crushing theme ruins modiocre game
This game dragged me back to a depressing time when most people (including me) were in shock for an extended period of time. Such poor taste to create this game and to put it on BFG. Better screening please!
