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.

Started out Great the end? not so much
I loved the beginning of this game. It seemed to be a great story and not an easy one at that. As the story hit about mid point... it kind of stalled until the end. This is the first one I have played that ever did this. They are usually great or not but not both. With this in mind, it is not easy to review it. It received a lot of great reviews. I'm guessing I'm picky..nah That's about all I can say. Happy Gaming

Nightmare!?
I haven't played the first game to this series so that may be why I didn't enjoy this game as well as some other reviewers. I too had problems with the sound being very hard to hear then too loud. The graphics are good and judging from the profile page I thought this game would be one of my favorite kinds, the dark, mysterious, scary story kind. I thought it started out slow and because the puzzles offered no instructions and were kind of difficult, I ran out of demo time just as I got to the part that seemed to be picking up! There are no HO's and I must admit that I had to use the hint button just to find out what I had to do next. I am sure the game adventure gets better but I don't want to buy the game to find out.

Good game
This game is so, so... I think that we could it done without the loading, is to slow. the items are to hard to find and the clues can't be understood. All in all I think this was a ba purshase for me.

Not for me
Don't have an awful lot to say about this game, except thank goodness I used a free game coupon to buy it as I really didn't enjoy it.
The graphics and game-play are very basic and I got a little bored. There are no HO scenes and I was put off by how difficult the majority of the puzzles were. I'm not playing these games to spend half an hour stuck on a puzzle just randomly clicking in the hope it will solve itself. I ended up skipping most of them just to get on with the game!
However I did like the inventory based puzzles and figuring out where to use items. I also liked that you had to read documents and emails, etc, to find codes and solutions to get through doors and stuff.
Overall though, the game frustrated me and I actually started skipping all the puzzles and using hints if I got stuck, just to get to the end.
This game just wasn't for me I'm afraid.

Don't waste your money
This is one of the more annoying games. The hints are not very helpful and the game hints are useless. I must be getting old because the photo references that were meant to help were indecipherable most of the time. Thankfully I didnt pay this game but I am disappointed I wasted a punch card bonus on it.

reservations
I love the controls, LOVE being able to specify the brightness level, LOVE killing the voiceovers. OTOH, the backing a forthing is offputting and there are too darned many puzzles. I'm not fond of puzzles. Figuring out where to go next is enough puzzle for me. When I have to click on things in picky-precise order, feh! Even so, I may buy it.

Adventure not an adventure for me!
It's possible that I just don't know what to expect in a good true adventure game because I buy mostly HOPAs. I bought the first one in 2010 and liked it, and I wanted to have this one as well. However, when I played the demo, I got no real directions on where to go or how to get there, the hint button took about 55 seconds to recharge on the easiest play level, and there was nothing to tell you what to do with the objects you collected in the first half of the demo. I had nine things in my inventory with no clue for where to use them until there was 13 minutes left in the demo, then I was able to use two of them by going to the SG to find out where to use them.
I am an avid game player of HOPAs and I can't think of another game offhand that made it so difficult to play that I said a cuss word or two, shocking my husband (because I generally don't talk like that#.
Anyway, just a note to gamers: play the demo if you haven't already done so, before you buy. If this is how true adventure games are played with such high reviews, I don't think I'll be trying another one any time soon (sad to say, because I believe in giving anything a chance).
Sorry, Big Fish and anyone who gets to this review, this game was just a terrible disappointment.

hidden object game
I thought this game was very good. The puzzles and hidden object scenes were not so difficult that you were frustrated. I would definetly recommend this game.
