I enjoyed the CE demo and couldn't wait for the SE version to come out and my wait if over. I just finished the demo and definitely was not disappointed and will purchase. The graphics are very well done, music is very nice even though I always turn the music down as I find it irritable in any game but like it slightly in the background. Since I have not completed the game, I do not know the playing time, but this developer always has nice length of play. I can't remember the developer, but I checked "Other Games" button and found I have lots of them games and I really like everyone that I have purchased. If I have a complaint, it would be that there are very few HO games and I want one in every location as it is my fav thing to do. Puzzles were fairly simple, which makes me happy as I can do without puzzles. I will definitely have my eye out for the new games from this developer,
I recommend this game!

Sorry, just don't care for running around fixing machines. I did think the graphics were very good and liked voice story lines instead of text. I do find these type of HO games more challenging, finding item parts from pictures rather than list of items by text. I wish I liked fixing things enough to continue the HO areas, but just not interested. I have played lots of mirror shard type games, but they were set in the past, not the future, and I guess I prefer the past.
I don't recommend this game.

I quite enjoyed the demo and do not know why the ratings are not better. The story is interesting, graphics were very good, loved the voice overs instead of text, and HOs were well done. I guess if I were able to play further, I may find some negatives but not so far. I will definitely consider this when the SE comes out. I think the reviews so far are not giving this one a fair shake. Probably not a perfect score, but maybe better then what has been scored so far. Maybe after a few more do their ratings, score will improve.
I recommend this game!

Where do I start. Game starts off sending you somewhere that it didn't even tell you why or where. New locations and useful items were very hard to find. HOs were way too easy and made no sense; you also didn't use any of these items. I lasted 20 minutes and that was painful. Games have advanced so much so why is this one so disorganized and just makes no sense, Really not even a story line. I don't know a sole who would like or buy this game,
I don't recommend this game.

I liked the story and was disappointed the demo is over but not interesting enough to buy the CE. The map tells you where to go next so that is easy and the HO games were also easy as were the puzzles. Why would you need a strategy Guide? I may consider this when the SE comes out, but this just seems not challenging enough, even though I dislike puzzles so this worked fine for me there, but the HOs and where to go next were not challenging at all.

This game may have a good subject line but I totally dislike games that have you all over the place to complete a task. The story also seems to be all over the place. I also disliked the HO games, which are just find the place where the item goes; I like the regular HOs, even a variety is ok, but this game seems to only have the "insert pieces" type. I almost ended the demo after about 20 minutes but was hoping it would improve....which it did not do. This will definitely be a pass for me.
I don't recommend this game.

It is about time someone did a game based on this classic tale; always loved it. Detective Crane sounds a lot like Johnny Depp and 1st ghost sounded like Vincent Price...love it!!!
Game is not difficult but challenging enough. I like it when you find inventory and can use the item in close vicinity so you aren't traipsing all over the place to get something done. I like the # of HO games and the variety of them. Puzzles weren't too difficult and I am not a fan of puzzles so this works for me.
The Demo went way too quick and I can't wait until the SE comes out so I can go thru the whole game. I hope the story stays on track and the rest of the game isn't a disappointment. I am ready to complete this classic story and hope there are more like this to come. Thank you BF!

I really enjoyed the beauty of this game; kind of made you feel like you are in a magical land. Some very gorgeous scenes and soothing sounds. I definitely is more of an adventure game with very little HO games in the demo session. I like more HO and not so many puzzles, but will probably get this when it comes out with the SE. It really was an enjoyable hour this evening. I remember playing the 1st Nightmare Realm and I enjoyed it too and will play it again before I get this one.

I so enjoyed the demo and can't wait for the standard version to come out. Spooky and dark but a very different story line. Great visual quality. music, HOs, and everything else about this game. Been awhile since I liked a game as much as this one, and hope that the rest of the game is as wonderful as the demo.

I love the Haunted Legends series, but this one is too easy. You pretty much can find what you need in the same room and your inventory is never full. The puzzles also seemed easy, but that part doesn't bother me as I find the puzzles an annoyance and would prefer not to have them. I liked the story in this one as it is different. I will get this game, after only playing the demo, as who need the collectors version with such an easy game? If the game is complex, then collectors edition is good. And why does BF think everything has to come out in collectors editions anymore? I think you should just offer the game and offer a collectors edition if someone needs the extra assistance. Never found the additional game play worth what you paid for CE.
I recommend this game!
