Not a CE price worthy game

I like the fatal evidence games. However the collectables were ridiculous. Not many and zero challenge. They're right there in your face. Never had an easier time finding collectables. I did like this game but I have a few issues.
Do you want to play as a female or male...you have the option and I like that but it doesn't matter. It's one voice over and the arms etc are always male. Why bother?
Items are not used more than once and not for rational reasons. Why on earth would you use a knife only once? Why would you use a taser to stop a fan instead of the screwdriver in the inventory? A lot of those moments of why was that necessary?
The bonus game was ridiculous. You knew who did it in three seconds. Jump through hoops to find fuel to move a small lawn mower a five year old could move. I hate that so much. In the main game. you have to use a hair dryer to blow the sails of a tiny toy ship instead of just moving the thing with your finger to open the door. It makes zero sense.
But my favorite....Go back OUTSIDE to gather the things needed to escape the fire INSIDE??? WHAT?? The silliness of the bonus game made me feel I lost IQ points just by playing it.
Your husband is going to jail for murder...lets just stop to feed the squirrel and give the dog a flea bath. Can't move the scary kitten out of the way to get the item..must find her yarn or something. This is the stuff that drives me nuts in these games. The silliness and lack of actual reasonable obstacles people with brains would have an issue with. Not just this game but all of them lately.
As far as this game. Don't pay for CE. It's not worth it. Its a cute game. I recommend the entire series and i have it but all SE. I already had this in SE and I wanted to see what the CE was like. Its BOGO weekend so it's free. Big Mistake and a waste of a free game.

For 2.99 in the catch I'll take it. This is a good series!! There CE's arent very good so taking the SE is smart. I recommend.
Hey Big Fish. why are you allowing nasty sexist comments to be posted. Leftly the shin down there..posted 8 reviews most of them all women hating. Like seriously. You should actually vet the responses before you allow them.
I recommend this game!

Not a collector's edition by any means.

I agree with the other reviewer this is a poor excuse for a collector's edition. There's nothing to collect really. Newspapers and that was few and far between. I love finding collectables. It's the reason I get the CE. I dont care about screen savers etc and I didnt see any. But I wasn't looking.
I don't see a bonus either. I did look. You can't get rid of the tutorial. Usually I start with it to show me what I'm collecting. Then get rid of it. Not an option and my lord it's annoying. I know this is a different developer than what I am used to but so much back and forth for silly reasons. The only fun I had was playing whacka mole.
Graphics and voice overs were great. I dont think she needed to speak with every move. so I had to shut off the volume but some people like that. Only reason I gave it three stars was the graphics, but I do NOT recommend this as a collector's edition. Don't pay full price for this game. Wait for the SE if there is one.

Cute game. Great graphics. Great characters but the puzzles omg and the HOPS. Find the symbols or characters. Tons of those and that just a lack of imagination on the creators part and gets annoying after the fourth set. I shut it off. I've had enough. You like endless looking for constellations, squiggly random lines that mean nothing and math symbols etc...great. It's for you. Once or twice. i can deal with. This is number four and only on part two of the game. Not many actual real puzzles. No thank you.
I don't recommend this game.

I did not read the reviews this time before the demo. It was on sale so I bought it with points. It's not horrible by any means. But it's incredibly easy and boring. I'm not an expert but not a novice either and I breezed right through this thing. Not many puzzles. But the ones they did have were kind of fun and again....easy. Didn't need hints or instructions for most of them.
Lots of HOPS. A little too many actually. I like a breather in between. I like searching for collectables. I dont care about screen savers etc. I like the search. Too darned easy. in your face easy.
Visuals and graphics are beautiful. No glitches. Way too much purple but whatever. There was no challenge. I'm not done yet. I found the fourth sister and that was wicked easy as well. Evil man stops time but uses a pay phone...oh okay....
Why is the owl even there? To reach stuff? He has zero purpose. Give him more to do.
It's not a bad game. Not at all but don't pay top dollar. Wait for a sale. CE wasn't worth it.
If you are looking for an easy peasy breezy game this is it!!
There is no climax to this story. Seriously.
So do I recommend it? SE version on sale yes. CE full price absolutely not. But its a great game for beginners. So I'll say yes.

You're a mom who chases her kids through a boardgame. Kind of looks like Jumanji but in their world not ours. So cute. I'm not into these types of games but it was fun. The collectables were pretty good. You go to three different places to save each kid.
As a mom I loved it. The only thing that bothered me was the owl. What a useless addition she is. Just would have been so much better without it.
Its a fun game. I do recommend it.

I don't think it would win any awards but it's cute. I've only done the demo. Not sure if I'm going to buy. There's another demo I'm playing this morning so I'll pick one after. Puzzles aren't great and yeah some of the items don't look as they are described. I bloom in different colors...was a clue....you'd think flowers. nope..Christmas lights. That's an example. There were plenty. Other than that and the seriously whiny voice of one of the characters it's corny but it's cute and something to do. I do find one thing Siren's thing you collect almost impossible. They are so light you can't see them.
I do recommend if you have nothing better. That's the best I can do.

Slowest game I have EVER played

Oh wow. Talk about pulling your hair out slow and boring. After the demo the game slowed right down. Showing me places I'd need to go....later...and do stuff...later...much later. This was truly a disappointment for me because I really liked the first two and the "mystery stalker" was obvious. The game is fairly long because you're running around for no reason.
A lot of the HOPS looked nothing like their photos so that's annoying. Games were not enjoyable. I really disliked this game. I liked the other two and was looking forward to it.
I dont know how it got excellent reviews but I wanted to love this game. I didn't by it so I could rag on it.
Not fun or relaxing that's for sure.

Good game though. Little redundant with a few clues and hops were super super easy.

Insidious dreams was GREAT. Made me jumpy and all that goo d stuff that goes with playing a well made creepy game.
From the getgo...why didn't she just call the police. she knew who what and where and even knew why. Lunatic kid with an annoying voice who's not actually that bright. He's not supernatural. Just nuts. The whole time I was just thinking if that was my kid in trouble I would have called 911 and did what the ghost friends were telling me. When the main character doesn't do the obvious its like the blonde big chested girl in the horror movies doing the dumb thing.....and it's not interesting. so Ill pass after the demo. And I don't recommend.
