Good for its time
Unlike the other Mystery Case files I've played, this one is rather light on plot. It looks like one of the earlier offerings - no moving through scenes, just selecting an area and playing the HOS. The advantages are that you can come back to the same one several times without getting bored, and they have morphing objects in the scenes which open up bonus areas.
Overall, not my favourite game, but definitely fun to play.

Only HOS I've played multiple times
Lots and lots of scenes, HOS are divided up pretty evenly between find items on the list and 'find 12 of these' types. Mini puzzles, fabulous! Clever, sometimes difficult. Items on the screen that aren't part of solving still have actions so that figuring out how to solve the puzzle is part of the puzzle! I've played this game all the way to the end 4 times. Morphing objects, interactive items in HO scenes. Voice of Madame Fate is delightful. For those who live for story lines and voice overs, this may not be the game BUT there's lots going on in this game ... about mini-games, some require thought, some quick reflexes. HO scene graphics are very crisp and clear and interactive items are sometimes not just fun, but funny. Long playing. My ONLY complaint is that I have never been able to solve the last puzzle. This is partially because, every time through, instead of skipping the puzzles, to rack up clock time for the last game, I enjoy playing them too much and since some require hand-to-eye speed, even when you know 'what' is required, sometimes it takes a bit ot fime. Some will complain that the minis don't have an explanation of what is required, but I found that part of the challenge and when you finally catch on, it's a big... 'OH, wow that's clever', or cool... There's no adventure part of going around and collecting things and using them in other scenes, but honestly, the HOs with morphing AND putting things together... well, they're just so clever I don't miss the 'adventure' elements. I've played, I think all, of the Mystery Case Files games and without a doubt, Madame Fate is the best. I laughed and/or groaned (at my stupidity and sometimes at their humor. This was I think the last of their 'old style' HOGs. I think the next was Dire Grove which is more of the new style, but if they could get the twisted programmers to do a new style but with the cleverness and twisted sense of humor of Madame Fate... Now THAT program would be one to end all games.

Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate
Loved it! Fun HOG with some very different puzzles after the hidden object scenes. I also liked the challenge of finding the "changing" objects to open up 3 extra locations. I've played it quite a few times as it is one my favorites.

Step right up! Awesome game!
This game is perfection. Imaginative with great graphics, characters, games, and HO's. The soundtrack completes the game experience. A fun homage to the old fashioned carnival.

MCF: Madame Fate - Loved it. Give us a Sequel!
This was my first Puzzle/ Hidden Object Game and is still the best. I've tried many others but none have beaten the Madame for quality game play. The HO sets are actually difficult and take concentration. They are multi-level and tricky! I especially love that the many HO puzzles required not just spotting items but sometimes combining or manipulating items to claim them. In addition to HO there are also many wordgame puzzles in Madame Fate that change-up the play and keep it interesting - unlike manyother HO games out there.
FINALLY: The mini-puzzles are fun and facinating. - They are truly a challenge. After trying may other games that failed to live up to Madame Fate I looked for more games from MYSTERY CASE FILES and found them to be well above most games out there. Check out: Ravenhurst and Return to Ravenhurst. I will probably start the new Escape From Ravenhurst soon.
I've played Madame Fate several times now. (Unlike other games which lose my interest after completion) I sure would like to see a sequel to Madame Fate. i would be sure to buy it.

The bar is here
This game was made in 2007. The standard of all HOGs after that should have been set at this one. Why it wasn't is beyond me. This game has a the level of complexity in the puzzles and challenge in the search that I have never seen thus far. Sometimes it can be gloriously maddening. ...And the star, Madame Fate, she talks throughout about her enemies and your progress, but in a way that is amusing and endearing. It's so rare to find a talking part that doesn't annoy me to tears. Anyway, some HOGs have been entertaining, if not tediously repetitious... but this is the FIRST I could in good ever give over 4 stars to. It's brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. My big question is "why haven't other games carried it's banner?" The bar was raised 5 years ago; it was raised at Madame Fate. Cheers. I hope to find more out there like it, and I hope more grab onto it as a baseline.

Madame Fate
OMG!! This is one of the best hidden objects games on the market. 2nd game in a Trilogy. But you don't need to buy the 1st in the trilogy to play this excellent game.
Love it!!

One of the best in the series!
I loved the MCF games since I first played Huntsville. I eagerly await each new release. The game play for Madame Fate is greatly improved over even Ravenhearst. I especially like that you no longer have to wait for each object to fly into your satchel before collecting the next one. The "boss" puzzles are sufficiently challenging, especially as you reach higher levels. All in all, an awesome game!

I'm not all that sure about this one
Looking for a change from the same old storyline about madhouses, haunted manors, gothic romance, vampires, etcetera, with one bizarre lock after another to open and with one object after another to find in the most impossible locations, I stumbled upon the reviews about Madame Fate and decided with high hopes to try this game.
Immediately upon starting the game, I remembered why I had detested Ravenhearst so much: this was the same interface, with the same series of HOS, repeated again and again, to look for the same objects again and again. Drat and double drat!
OK, the game proved to contain a series of very interesting puzzles - word puzzles and others - which, sadly enough, also came back again and again.
OK, most of the puzzles coming at the end of each "chapter" were different, very interactive and sometimes quite challenging.
Also the fact that you have to manage your hints and look out for scenes containing morphing objects in order to earn a few new hints or bonus time, proves to be a challenge.
And yes, the gallery of characters you get to meet is funny and entertaining.
So, all in all, I would say that Madame Fate is better than Ravenhearst... but you have to be a real HOS lover - and I am not such a person - to get ecstatic about this game, which does not mean that I didn't spend an agreeable 12 hours of gameplay, because I did.

USE A MAGNIFYING GLASS
I started this game with high hopes due to the high ratings, but after just 15 minutes, I quit and uninstalled it. The graphics are of poor quality and the objects very tiny. I like a challenge and I don't normally mind small, well hidden objects, but the little objects hidden in a substandard graphics page made me irritable. I play for fun, not frustration. Wish there were a money back guarantee on this game.
