great game
This is still one of my favorite HO games. The story is complex and engaging, moving back and forth in time, and the puzzles are challenging but not too hard. I also liked the additional challenge of being able to combine objects in the inventory to make things. Definitely recommended!

My favorite in the series!
Hands down, this is my favorite Midnight Mysteries game. The first one (Edgar Allen Poe Conspiracy) was great, but this game is really when the series found its footing. I've played this one twice and will definitely go back for more in the future (I want to get all of the awards!). Gameplay is smooth, transitioning is natural. Definitely well-written, like the graphics, and hope that there are more in the future!

Great Game!
Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials is a hidden object adventure game. You play an author/detective who has an affinity with ghosts. This time, it's Nathaniel Hawthorne who comes to ask your help for his case. It's a fun game, where you travel back in time and talk to ghosts to solve the case.
The graphics are dark, and just beautiful in this game, especially the cut scenes. The gameplay is straightforward. There is a special place in your inventory where you can combine two objects to make a new object. There are achievements in the game for completing certain objectives. An unlimited hidden object mode is opened if you collect enough clovers. (I haven't tried that mode yet.) I liked the puzzles in this game. The game took me over three hours to complete. Definitely worth taking a look at.

Great Adventure Game
This was a great game!! Way more adventure than just hidden objects which is what I like best. Also, the puzzles were challenging but not to hard. Highly recommend this game.

Loved it!
I really enjoyed both of the Midnight Mysteries that are available, and even bought one for my iPad so I could enjoy it on the go. Great graphics, a storyline that isn't boring, and you don't drown in HO scenes (sorry but I like games that offer an array of puzzles and searching for items). Wish we could get the Edgar Allen Poe version for the Mac, that would be perfect!!!

Definite Repeat Playability
This game is one of my favorites. The graphics are great and the soundtrack fits the game wonderfully. I love how you are taken back in time during the 1800s and also in a couple of Hawthorne's novels. Not only are you trying to find out what happened to Hawthorne, but you pick up mysteries along the way and eventually save a life.
Another interesting factor is that in this game, Nathaniel Hawthorne is a friend of former President Franklin Pierce and the time period is during the Lincoln administration. It would be interesting to know if Hawthorne's and Pierce's friendship in the game has some historical fact to it or if it was just a fictional pairing for the story.
All in all, this is a great game with repeat playability due to the awards that can be won throughout the game. It's also interesting that there is a bonus HO game that can be played after collecting 50 clovers during the regular game play. For that reason, I'm playing the game for a third time. Each time, the HO scenes are a little different. The puzzles aren't that difficult, but they aren't easy either. While you can pretty much play the game without a walkthrough, it does become helpful when trying to find all the clovers.

Challenging Game
Overall this was a very good game with challenging puzzles and a decent story line. The only thing that threw me was the time-line of the story which just seemed to jump all over the place with no notice. Sometimes it was difficult to follow the sequence of events in the story. Good graphics.

Midight mysteries. Salem witch trials
I thoroughly enjoyed this game, the only problem I had was at the end of the game, where i couldnt find something, so I couldnt finish the game even though I used the walkthrough! :(
I will go back and try again.
Its a game well worth playing

A great game!
This game is very enjoyable! I like the mixture of hidden object scenes and adventuring. The puzzles are good too, and not too difficult. The storyline is very interesting and keeps the player engaged.
The graphics are good and the music suits the gloomyness of the plot, there are also some spooky sound effects that makes the game even more eerie. There is quite a bit of travelling backwards and forwards but this did not bother me.
I am looking forward to playing the other games in the series!
