Nightmare Adventures: The Turning Thorn 
ExclusiveTwo weeks after the events of Nightmare Adventures: The Witch's Prison, Kiera Vale finds herself drawn back into a web of occult sciences, mysterious dark entities, and government secrets -- woven by the agency known as A.R.C.A.N.E.. Kiera is happy to receive the call, but soon after her arrival finds that things are not at all how she remembers them to be. What are these agents hiding, and why didn't they tell her the whole story? What is the true nature of the Blackwater "Witch"? Why is Dr. Thorn's young daughter locked up in a containment cell? From the top secret labs in the depths of A.R.C.A.N.E.'s headquarters to the distant spires of alien worlds, Ms. Vale will seek answers, solve cryptic puzzles, banish evil otherdimensional creatures, and perhaps even make a new friend over a game of Piggy Princess along the way, in Nightmare Adventures: The Turning Thorn.

Thank you for this AWESOME game!
I absolutely loved this game. It was a real adventure game and the puzzles were wonderful. I love puzzles that require you to think, instead of just move the pieces around. The story was good and the length was perfect although I'm still disappointed to see it end. Thank you very much for this game and can't wait for the sequel. (crush)
P.S. Fishies please ignore the lower reviews based on it not being a HOG. It's not supposed to be. Don't miss this one if you like adventure games. :)

WOW!!! A pure Adventure game - fantastic
This game is just great, I wish it never ended.
Great Story and even greater no HO junk piles.
Please let us have many more of those.
What also was a big PLUS you find it actually under Adventure games and it is really marked as Adventure and not as usually
Hidden Object.
Thank you developers and BigFishgames

Awesome!
I LOVE the format of this game. Sometimes I feel like when you have to retrieve clues from one place to use in other locations, there's a lot of yo-yoing but not in this game! And the puzzles; you really have to think about them. I just bought the first one and hope it's more of the same. Can't wait for the next one!

Fantastic for puzzle lovers
The Turning Thorn joins the ranks of its predecessor, The Witch's Prison, as being one of the best adventure games in recent years. With a captivating storyline, creepy environments and a wide variety of challenging puzzles, the game is thoroughly enjoyable to play. This is not a hidden object game, it's a dark adventure with a mystery that unfolds at a nice pace. Players collect logical inventory items to use along their way, but many paths are blocked by clever puzzles that must be solved to progress deeper into the shadowy realm of sinister ancient entities and top secret scientific experiments. The game has tons of great original puzzles that are guaranteed to challenge even the most experienced gamers. Awesome work. Can't wait for the next one.

Very unique
Great game after you get the hang of it. There are a lot and I mean a lot of puzzles to solve. They are medium to high in level of difficulty, so if you like harder puzzles this game is for you. At first I did not care for the game, it seemed to lack any direction at all but I stuck with it and actually started to really enjoy it. it is a different story line than most and seemed to actually have a good plot. I am surprised to say I am looking forward to the sequel. Kind of creepy and left you hanging at the end....

Fun
Not quite what I was expecting. But fun to play enjoyed the fact the storyline continued the previous games but there was enough information that if you had not played the other games you could still follow the story. Ending was a it of a disappointment guess I need to wait for the next installment.

Interesting Game!
Based on demo, which I played for 15 minutes so far. It's a different type of game. No HOS yet, which I like. Hints are helpful. Game starts out with woman in bed and she feels as if it's an out-of-body experience.
I'm not very good at writing reviews, but I do like this game and will probably buy it.

Potential lost
I have no excuse. I played for an hour. Things were going fair to middling. I liked the first Nightmare Adventure, so I let that, rather than the actual playing of the second game, affect my purchase. Now I resent the free credit I used.
This is a hidden object game only in so far as there are objects you look for, one in this room, one in that. You have a PDA(think diary) and a camera that photographs clues
You have a set of locations that you work in that are self contained till the next level of the story. You travel through that set repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly.
The puzzles were either way out of my league (Hey, folks, Einstein I'm not!) or just not working correctly. I ended up skipping most of them out of shear frustration. Maybe they needed more and better instructions. Maybe being able to post the photos you take along the way next to the pertinent puzzle would help. There has to be a better way to set this up.
The art work is good, the story is lame. There's plenty of back and forth over those limited locations. Eventually you have worked all of the puzzles, but many show up only after repeated visits to the room/location they are in. There are a lot of possible plot points in the trial period, but little actual information. And it doesn't get better as you go along. (Please note: I did not use the word "progress.")
I am past the end point of the trial period, but not to the end of the game. I don't know if I'll ever finish. I play to relax, to be challenged, for distraction. Raising my blood pressure this far is not what I look for in a game.
Now I'm going back to play the first game and see if I was dillusional the first time around.
