Great Start!
I have only played the demo, but I had to say that this is the first game where I had to use up almost all of the free trial time to play the demo! Great cinematics, creepy cut scenes, good music, and really challenging and different puzzles -- and I have played ALOT of puzzles so that's saying a lot. Can't wait for a good sale or an extra credit to download and play the rest of this one!

A plethora of puzzles
The Countess is a terrific addition to the Mystery Case Files legacy. This time, while investigating the disappearance of your friend Lady Eleanor Codington, you visit her abandoned mansion to discover that it is plagued by an evil entity known as The Black Countess. To resolve the mystery of the Codington curse, you will need to delve deep into the family's history and resolve numerous puzzling challenges. There are plenty of dark twists along the way as the sinister story unfolds.
The Countess is one of the most entertaining games I’ve played in a while. The game has its share of hidden object screens, but it’s loaded with a wide variety of puzzles, including the Rube Goldberg “super puzzles” that the MCF games are famous for. The mini-games range in difficulty from fairly simple to challenging, but they are all very entertaining. The Collector’s Edition also offers morphing objects and collectable items in the form of 37 fractured mirror shards. The game is reminiscent of classic MCF games like The 13th Skull and Dire Grove. The graphics are crisp and detailed and really work well with the moody soundtrack to establish an eerie setting.
If you enjoy solving puzzles like I do, I guarantee you will love this game. I’m hoping this marks a new trend in HOPA games to include more puzzles.

Not Dire Grove, but still very good.
I am a die-hard MCF fan, I've played all the games multiple times- my absolute favourites are Dire Grove, Return and Escape.
Sadly, the latest episodes were kind of disappointing to me: weak plot and characters, bad animations and voice overs.
Still "The Countess" is a welcome surprise: it proves Eipix CAN create an intersting story if they put their heads together.
The story of the Countess and the shade thing is finally something worth developing in a sequel . She can't beat Charles Dalimar, but has potential.
But please bring back real actors and video footage, these gave the old MCFs that eerie feel of twisted reality.

Long Time No Play MCF!
It's been a good couple of years since I've played a Mystery Case Files game! The last one I played was Dire Grove and man was that a good game, but this game beats it by MILES. Just from the demo, it had insanely hard puzzles that even I was just like "wtf?". The voice acting is superb, and the atmosphere is AMAZING. But then again, this is an MCF game, so I should've expected that!
Definitely will be buying the full version once Christmas rolls around!

Love MCF!
I love the MCF games! I look forward to the new ones and love to go back and play the ones I've completed. The Countess was fantastic! I had a lot of fun and was bummed to see it end. The recent MCF games, including The Countess, seemed a little shorter than the original games. I wish these games were longer because they're such a nice break from reality... (hint, hint)... Loved it. Well done!

Where are these negative reviews coming from?
I don't do many reviews any more, but wow. This was the best MCF for a LONG time in my opinion and I'm shocked that it's being panned.
I actually had stopped buying MCF titles when the stories about the Dalimars got weirder and weirder, as well as sillier and sillier. I hope that the Countess is the beginning of a new story-line, since it also features a creepy house with lots of puzzles, and a villainess that could easily be back.
There are tons of puzzles in this game. None of them are as tough as the original MCF's, but they are not as blatantly stock as many games.
The one small problem I had with the game was that hidden object scenes were not as inventive as they are in many games today. However, I don't play "hidden object games" for the hidden object scenes. I play them for the story-line and puzzles. The story-line was was at least internally consistent and not as gross as some of the MCF's have been, and the puzzles were quite good.
And one of the best features was that you could go back and find any of the collectibles or morphs after the game and bonus chapter were done. If you just want to play through the story without worrying about collectibles or morphs, you can wait until you are completely done, then do them as an "endgame" activity. I've played a few games that are doing this recently, and I give this feature a big thumbs up!
Overall, I hope there are more MCF's in the future that are like this game.

brilliant puzzles
Thanksgiving and another MCF... this one has a rubbish storyline and I could not understand any of it - but the puzzles were fantastic and I really enjoyed playing the game. The movements of the people were like cardboard cutouts - not good - voices good - music good too. Graphics (apart from people) were good and the locations excellent.
I really enjoyed this MCF.

puzzles, puzzles puzzles! YAY!
i can understand all the reviews complaining about the volume of puzzles in this game. especially if they were counting on a run of the mill HO game.
this is not the kind of game that the hard core HO fans will enjoy. but for me, it was right down my alley!
it is so hard to find a decent game with so many puzzles as this one. a welcome relief and i wish there were more of them.
the puzzles are awesome, if sometimes a bit difficult. (there is always the guide or the skip button, after all). i loved them all, even it they were sometimes beyond me.
i found the graphics/game play/pace and plot to be excellent. never a dull moment with lots to do.
i highly recommend this game for all puzzle lovers. prepare to be stumped once in a while.
