It's just ok
I have to pass on that one. It was just ok. I still had 16 min left to play when the demo was over. Must be a game on the shorter side.
Graphics and story also just ok, a bit cheesy. After playing games like The Nutcracker etc, I can't even think about buying this one. As a CE it just lacks all the bells and whistles. I may consider the SE, but there are better games out there. Way too many HOGs in between, takes away from the adventure.Sorry, that's just me, did not keep my interest

not that bad
Does have dead bodies in it but not any worse than tv. The HOS are ok. Not a bad game but I'll wait for the SE. Hint button works good. There is lots of running around to find items but all the games do now.

No Thanks
There's nothing new here, and this one's far too easy as well. It's done on the cheap, with no creativity. Finished the demo in 1/2 hour. Slow-moving cursers are irritating. Too many HOS. Insufficient puzzles.

Spirit stealing human souls !!!!
Demoed 20 minutes, normal mode
- 3 modes, easy, normal, hard
- Voice overs
- Integrated SG on the bottom right of your screen, you can access it too from your notebook
- Notebook on the bottom left of your screen + tasks button but they appear in your notebook
- Click penalty in H0, I hate that :whistle:
- No map
- Hint useful outside H0, shows you the way, didn't use it so I don't know how long it takes to refill
- Skip button
- H0, you interact, they are clear
- Mini games not over difficult up to what I played
- Very good graphics
- Music a bit loud
Good story based on H P Lovecraft novel. A spirit is using human souls to become immortal. I think I've already seen this theme in quite a few games, still the game looks good and it's a buy for me.

PLEASE stop using Lovecraft
The temptation, especially for new designers, to use Lovecraft must be incredible: he's still wildly popular, and a lot of his work is in the public domain. I'll admit that Lovecraft translates slightly better to games than to film, but it's not enough. This line, for instance, left me sobbing on my floor with laughter, and I lost about 20 minutes of the trial time as a result: "They said my uncle knew about immortality, so I resurrected him from the dead..."
WHAT? You have the ability to resurrect people from the dead, so you focus on the one guy who has already, without question, failed the immortality test? He's DEAD. His thoughts on how to achieve immortality are not worth having. Also, I'm supposed to sympathize with Charles, but he released a soul-sucking zombie on his hometown. I feel sorry for everyone else. Charles, on the other hand, deserves a mob of pitchfork-wielding townsfolk.
The interface was fine (when I wasn't laughing) and the graphics were very high quality. The music and sound were good. The HOG scenes were, if not especially clever, at least up to the standard of better developers.
I find it difficult to believe that a group of people talented enough to produce this game couldn't come up with a better story on their own. I'm willing to bet they could have come up with something at least as terrifying as "Redrum," which changed single-player gaming. Give me a game with this game's technical qualities and some inventiveness in the storyline, and you'll have me hooked. But for now, this little sea anemone is fleeing the net.

Not so good
Story line is fine. Graphics could be a lot better. It is somewhat fun game but not enough for me to break out my cc to buy it.

JUST FINISHED GAME
I really liked the "behind the scenes" in the extras.It was very well done and gave us an idea of the people who voiced, coded and drew the game and where they worked. This is a REAL extra to me. That and the bonus game. The ending was good but could've been better. Lots of HO but they were pretty good and the Adventure part was good too.

Another SE game turned into CE
I played 10 mins and found it average. Did not thrill me and certainly did not inspire me to buy as a CE. Perhaps I have been spoilt with the latest offering from Elephants games. Got into the Christmas spirit lol.
Still might think about buying as a SE, certainly not CE price.

Graphic Beyond Compare
I was prepared not to like another "dark and sinister" game. Yes, the subject matter is dark, but the graphics just drew me into the web. The play went smoothly as the next steps made sense. Often we are asked to be mind readers to move forward, but as mentioned this game makes sense as to the next moves. I really enjoyed the trial, though it was not the full hour, but a shorter demo.

OK game
The game was just ok for me. Seemed to move very slow. Usually I have tons of hidden objectsto find. With this game you used them right away. Not thrilling. Could have been good. I might purchase it on sale.
