It was OK..
This was one of the first games that introduced me to HOG.. Ever since, I am hooked, so it's a bit of nostalgia playing this one. I like the story but I hate how clutter the HOG scenes were, and every 3 wrong clicks give you penalty. It's difficult seeing things in such messy scenes. But I like the storyline, which I think is original, and ever since, Mumbo Jumbo delivers many great similar games and it keeps getting better. Hope to see more of their games (less clutter, please!)

NOT FRUSTRATINGLY CHALLENGING
If you?ve played the other Midnight Mysteries games, you won?t be disappointed. Mildly challenging. Interesting storylines. After the rather lengthy intro (compared to other intros), delve into 3 separate stories for clues to find Poe?s murderers. Hints are limited, so collect the ravens in each scene for additional hints. Dark and mysterious linear game, so you won?t have to consult a W/T to determine what to do next, nor will you have to use all the hints. Very good large HOS. Clear and beautiful graphics. Talk to the characters as you meet them. A pleasant afternoon of play of a little less than 5 hours.

the E.A.Poe Conspiracy/Midnt.Myst.
I don't own the game,played the trial version.Same as most HOGs.Very dark screens,hard to see objects.A story has to grip your imagination from the start;this doesn't-after an hour.Won't buy,they should remake.But,I bought,"Devil On The Mississippi". That's the 5 star best! P.S: E.A.Poe was murdered by"cooping": Kidnapped;had liquor poured down his throat;had his clothes changed to someone else's.Then,he was forced to vote,several times,changing clothes.He was found in the street,incoherent,with someone elses clothes on,and sent to hospital;and died.Many people died of cooping. Great loss and a horrible way to die.-For those interested in Poe.

Very poor game
I was very disappointed with this game - having played quite a few midnight mysteries before like - 'Salem Witch Trials ' and found them to be excellent - this game was just not in the same league. The game was just hidden object with a couple of odd bits thrown in - there were no puzzles to speak of (none that an 8 yr old couldn't do easily) The music was boring - the graphics too dark and the storyline poor -overall I would not recommend this game at all.

Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy
This is a fun loving and interesting game for any Hidden Object lover and great for Edgar Allen Poe fans! It really made you feel sad for Poe..But avenging his story brings a smile to your face..A must have! Great Game!

A great intermediate game
If you are looking for an intermediate game to play, this is it. The puzzles are easy, graphics are kinda old school, but none the less a good game over all. Make sure you collect the black crow in each scene to add to your hint collection.
game on gamers...

Great Game
This is a great game. Not too much navigation, because the story moves you along from scene to scene. The Hidden Objects ranged from easy to hard and you have more than enough hints to make it through.
Plot wise, it definitely gets more interesting after you make it through the first part of the story. I liked Mary's story more than the other, but the overall plot line was good. The only issue was that you couldn't really piece together what was going on at times, because you were getting information before you really knew what to make of it. You'll probably need to play it at least twice to get the fine details of the story in your head.
Overall, great game and I will definitely continue the series.

Great Game; Great Series
I loved this first game in the series. (I also loved the next two in the series). The graphics are great, the play is fun and the story is interesting. A must for Poe fans!

AGREE DULL GAME!
There are Much worse games I have played...
but I Expected More from a Midnight Mysteries Game..
Story is really terrible..
there is very little Adventure Gaming in this game imo...
I had to finish it because thats just how I am..
sometimes games get better...
but this one never did for me...
Buy Midnight Mysteries Salem Witch Trials
or Haunted Houdini instead
and pass on this one
thats my 2 cents...

Good times!
This was the game that hooked me on HOGs in the first place, but I'm a big Poe fan and a sucker for ravens. It's been a while since I first played it, but I loved the ambiance of the graphics and the music. A fun game all around, and it had me hooked from the start.
