Had Potential But Bombed Out Quickly
The developer has had good games in the past - but THIS one - BITES. The storyline had some potential, but the characters are poorly, and roughly rendered, slow moving and awkward. The sound is awful. The games far too easy. The HOS are so-so, and vary from good to not so much. The dialogue just sucks. I lost it when I got to the guy sitting outside the flower shop who is supposed to be invisible and the shop owner who is an idiot. No way am I buying this game.

Don't waste your time!
Although I thought this game might have possibilities, the first five minutes pretty much convinced me otherwise. Simplistic, boring, with nothing there to grab me and keep my interest, the most positive thing I can say is, well, it does have a map.
Didn't even finish the demo before I uninstalled the game. Save your money for a "real" Collector's Edition. Even as a SE I wouldn't waste a free game token on it.

It's a go for me :)
I think the reviewers are a bit harsh on this one,,,but each to his own. I am enjoying this game. There is a lot to do and I think the story line is just fine. I bought this game and I do not regret it one bit.

Don't waste you money
Downloaded the demo, it only let me play 35 minutes. Which was ok with me. This is not up to standards with Big Fish games. It is slow, story line boring, graphics are bad, characters move like slow motion. I am wondering why Big fish is allowing these substandard games to be released without a through review by their own staff. I have seen rave reviews on here of games that are just terrible. Where are these reviews coming from? This is another one I would not waste my money on.

Pretty Underwhelming
Everything from the graphics to the voice-overs to the storyline make this a very sub-par game in my opinion. Clunky rendering of the graphics make this look like something from ten years ago. The plot is the same old detective hunting for a supernatural kidnapper.
I usually play every demo until the end before deciding whether to purchase. I could only play this for 10 minutes before losing interest.
Sadly, I have to say that this game doesn't even come close to meeting my standards for a collector's edition.

Even Jack would rip here
sorry guys but this one's a bust. The visuals were fun and ae t least they were unique but game play hung and at times and the dialog had audio some times and other times none. The game hung on me 3 times in the early play so I didn't finish the game but...

One of the worst.
The game play is twitchy at best and non functional at worst. The story line is too long and drawn out. There are many scenes with little or no game play. The map states there is a task in a given area but when you go there the hint will send you some where else. Glad I did not spend money on this one.

Barely OK Game
This is a fairly well produced game with decent artwork and good VO. The HOS aren't too bad, and the HINT works well during game play. The puzzles I saw were OK, too. I only played the demo, but it was enough for me to determine that this game is not worth the CE price. You don't need the SG. It might be worth the SE price.
