Not very good
This does look like a beginners effort, as another reviewer said. Given that, it could have been a lot better even for a first effort. The HO items are sometimes not visible although the print of the list is enormous. The graphics are dark and fuzzy and the whole game's actions are not smooth. You kind of jerk from one scene to another. The story is not well told and it looks as if you will be trapped in the rotten house the whole time, so I think it will get to be quite tedious in short order. The sound effects are good enough but the voice over is terrible...sounds like someone reading a bed time story. The mini games were trying as the logic was totally missing and the instructions were bad...perhaps English is not the first language of the devs. You also have to click around a lot in each scene for things you might not know you need...I've always hated that; it messes up the story. After a while, I started to wish longingly for the end of the demo. I think they need to go back to the drawing board.

I liked it
I completed the demo and liked what I saw but not enough to buy,,,the biggest thing that irked me was when I came to the brother in the cage and when you click on him again he does the "brother" thing,,,"What are you waiting for hand me the key"--I should'a left him there. Great graphics and I did like the story line,,,I may get this with my next game credit.

Its really not that bad
This is one of those games that is more puzzle based rather than just HO's .The storyline has been done before but most of the story is about the journey through the mansion ,which is the inheritance for a brother and sister Yes there were some strange moments why leave your brother on the floor in the rain but when did logic come into game playing . The look of the interiors was quite impressive they managed to make it look creepy without being too dark The ho's are different you have to get used to moving some objects to allow you to get other objects in that respect it plays a bit like a large file game. Overall I can't decide if I like it enough to buy I will probably wait till its on a sale . If you like a bit of a challenge give it a go its one of those games you will know after 10 minutes if its for you

Just not impressed
I have done many reviews of many games and this one well...just was boring. I can always find some redeeming quality in a game and have never really given a negative review but this is the one. Slow play, not exciting at all, dumb story line that you just didn't care to follow. I played it through and still am unsure what the villain really did or who he was and then he is still alive at the end?? No confrontation with the villain at all...no map so a lot of back tracking. It was not terrible but if you are going to try it use a game credit. Sorry but average or below is about all I can give it.

Just in case your sleeping pills run out... :(
.... play this game!
Wow, what a boring morning!!!! On the german BF site they offered us "Secrets of the Titanic 1912-2012) and I nearly felt asleep and now this one.... zzzzzzz
Graphics were OK: a mixture of drawn and real settings. Real actors. 2 modes to choose from. In the options you may adjust master-, music-, effects- and environment volume. And you are able to choose the appearance: fullscreen or windowed (who wants to play in a windowed mode?), cursortype, fit to screen (y/n) and high quality (y/n).
A lot of messed up interactive hidden object scenes. Some items are really hard to find; Be sure to wear your glasses! And some non challenging minigames.
We have a journal together with a tasklist. I can't tell you anything about the promised achievements, as I couldn't even finish the demo... sorry:(

StrangeSTONED.
The HOS that I encountered were challenging...lots of things to put together and manipulate in some way. The map was helpful with notations for Hidden Objects - You Are Here and Action Available. I also appreciated the pop-up task message and check mark that appeared.
I was not, however, impressed with the HINT button. I got stuck and could not for the life of me figure out what to do next. Pushing HINT merely indicated both available exits(where there were NO tasks available) and a handprint over an object that I was supposed to be opening,but lacked the tool. When I have to use HINT, I prefer for it to be pretty straightforward.

Strangestone???
Well, it started out pretty good, but I didn't like the hint button. Hands & arrows just don't get it. The graphics were real good, as was the music. I never heard of the creators, but that doesn't make for a bad game. I can make my way around without too much trouble, but once in awhile I'd like a little more help from the hint button. I will not be buying this game.

Kinda sorta like it
I didn't mind the hint button. Even though I was frustrated a few times, I liked being made to think. With most hint buttons I have a tendancy to be lazy and coast. Besides, having the hint button this way makes the game last longer than it would if I were lead by the nose. I feel more of a sence of acomplishment.
One part I really hated was leaving the brother lying in the rain. Only a complete, unfeeling, cold hearted, ahem... would leave him out in the weather!
Not much of a sister. She even gets mad at him for dropping the key when the ground is shaking. Poor guy, knocked out by electricity, and left in the rain.
I know I'm taking this point a bit far, but, sheesh, I thought only the bad guys did this.
Anywho, the game is average. I gave storyline so low for the reasons stated above. I doubt if I will buy it, but do as it pleases you

Not a Buy!!!!!! Demo review only!
Graphics a bit blurry but playable. Some items in the HOS's I found to be hard to see and mini-games pretty easy. There are 6 chapters and according to the write-up on BF page, there are achievements but not found any. Played casual and hint button is slow and too much handholding. Not much backtracking as the way is blocked when you have finished one section. Some people might like it but I can't recommend this game. Sorry!!

Don't Waste Your Time or Credits
This review is based on the completed game. I wanted to like this, kept waiting for the story to pick up,but it never did. Slow action, weak story line and an ending that .....well let's just say it was a disappointment to say the least !
