Not as good as the others but entertaining

I bought it immediately because I LOVED the others. So no demo. Halfway through I still would have bought it but my issue is the games/hops etc. They are not challenging. They are long, tedious and boring. A few just make zero sense but maybe it's just me. That entire first game had me rolling my eyes, getting up and walking away for an hour or so to psych myself up to start again.
Three chapters. Chapter two is not as bad as the first as far as games. The story lines are pretty good and I guess there's four including the bonus so that's a plus. Characters are good. Partner kid cop is just adorbs. Graphics were okay. But part of the second game as they are off to Chloe's house the street looked like a pencil drawing. I don't think it was meant to.
I'm super curious as to what others think. Would I buy it again? Yes just because it's like four games in one but I'm not loving the games in the one. Still it's entertaining and I'm looking forward to playing the rest. I have my cheese and crackers with a latte ready to finish the game.
I do love the no hint time button. One game I had to blow right through because it was ticking me off nothing matched so that was nice. No skip option for that one. I wish more games had a zero hint/skip time. I'm an adult. I can make a decision in under 15 seconds if I want to play or not.
I am not going through the chapters because it's a brand new game and I think others may want to find out for themselves.
I do recommend it.

This was one of the worst games I've ever played. So disappointed because I liked Dancing Men very much. This was just not good. The HOPs were garbage. No thought put into them at all. Clues really didn't make sense. Game just froze a few times for no reason which is a tech issue obviously. I stopped after two hours when I got a puzzle that was so ridiculous, I couldn't stand it anymore. Didn't like it is an absolute understatement and I used a BOGO on it. I wish I could get my money back. seriously. I don't think I've ever given a game one star and in my defense...I tried. I started three times in three days to get into it. after the demo.
The only think I liked was the soft jazz in the background.

Older but it's just Anna and Richard saving the day and they're a team. I loved the character of Richard and stopped playing the series when they got rid of him.
They messed up huge when they started changing their winning teams just like on Detectives United. They tossed James for a younger kid. Bad move. Very bad.
Games were good but some HO's were a bit hard to see and I have a HUGE monitor.
One thing though. At the end they all say thanks she's saved the day. Did she? Yes but if she went back and changed everything then the current events would not have happened to begin with and little Billy wouldn't have been in danger. The count and the lady would not exist in their time or the present. They kind of ignore that part.
I hope the series goes forward with more games like this in 2024. They were enjoyable worth the money. Not so much with the games today. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I did like it very much BUT not as much fun without Richard. And what's up with Agent Shade??? Seriously she sounds totally stoned.
It's a good game though but it's missing something. I think it's Richard and the story is okay but not riveting. The redhead isn't as scary as the other villains.
Also it was super easy. Like really really easy.
I'm pretty good at this point but some puzzles I find super hard. Not in this game.

Nope. I did play the demo but without Richard. I'll pass. I like the snarky dark evil dad. Mom is a snoozefest. Just took the fun out of it and honestly developers are NOT listening to their fans. Well they should because it's our money we are spending. Thanks for returning Rick Rogers but you got a few more to go!! and since Dorian is magical and immortal why isn't he used in these stories. Kind of like a supernatural hart to hart. no im not that old but I know who they are.

Let me start by saying i LOVED the game after this and the whole series up until Rick left but still I did play the rachael ones. I found myself wondering why I didn't remember this game and I own it. So I started playing it again today. About two hours in I remember WHY I stopped the first time. Oh good lord it is boring. And tedious. How many freaky dead alive dolls can you have in one game? I tried folks. I REALLY tried to get into it. I mean like I said I love the next one even though its kind of anticlimactic it's great!!! This one is an epic fail. So much going on at once in different rooms that make no sense. I want to like it. I just don't. I am sorry I bought it first. I highly recommend skipping this one and moving right on to the next. All you need to know is this: SPOILER ALERT!!!!! stick your fingers in your ears if you don't want to know. This Rick is from an alternate universe, and it COULD have been a great story if it wasn't all over the place. They need alternate Rick to get to the other one in the next game.
I was so annoyed and bored. And Im sorry. I dont take pleasure saying that. I do love the next one. and you don't need this one to understand it. See the issue?? You should need it.

Favorite Genre(s):Adventure, Hidden Object, Puzzle
I loved the back and forth as there are not enough female leads honestly in these types of games imo. It's not over the top or silly. I love that the bonus has one of them and an entirely new case. Not some random story with different people. So it's like two games in one. I think the stories are decent. Some of the HOPs are a tad on the dark side and they could really do something about the in your face bright purple and blues.... But honestly it's one of my favorites. Also dont have to wait for hints/skip. I try not to use them but I'm an adult. if I need them I dont need to be told to wait 15 seconds if I hate a game. There's two games I just cant do. Nice to skip and not sit there feeling stupid. lol.
I loved these and I hope there are more. Randalls accent is a bit much. His sister doesn't have one at all.

I recommend but honestly get the CE for these four games for the bonus games and i never say that.

I really did try to like it. I restarted three times. But terrible story. Tedious. I mean just a pile of stuff to search through every three minutes. Never ending search through toys. Enough... Never have I ever seen a game with so many of those in the first twenty minutes. It gets annoying. No real puzzles just tons of searching for stuff in piles. I'll pass. Main character is not likable. Kind of an annoying twit. They made a Christmas elf unlikable. how sad. I absolutely do not recommend this game. I wish I could. It's Christmas.

Started out great. Loved it. Games were decent. Story was decent and i hadn't played the games the other reviewers were referring to. 3/4 of the game was fun. But then it just kind of got real boring. Also personally I think the villain got a raw deal. Seriously Cecelia was actually lied to by that prince and Marianna was her friend then they could have made a better story out of it. It was kind of disappointing. Because the story lacked i didnt do five stars but the game itself was pretty good and not super dark or repetitive. Not one zipper to fix thank god!!!
I recommend this game!

In all fairness I knew how it was going to end before I played the SE. In this case I think CE is worth it for the bonus chapter because its relatable. A lot are not.
I wish they explored Anna and Dorian a little more before this. We went from Anna is super young and meets a guy who she thought was a murderer to insta mom.
This story was well done. Graphics were good. I really enjoyed it. I can't stand ghost mom. SPOILER ALERT Ghost mom says goodbye at the end which made my day!! Can we have Richard back now? Do they read their reviews? The fans of this series are screaming for the dark sarcastic ex evil dad.
While I highly recommend this game i do recommend the Collector's Edition like I said for the bonus chapter alone.
