Could only play for about 10 minutes, the game was so boring. The cat was really annoying and I would have liked an option not to use him. The storyline was nothing new - evil spirit kidnapping someone - how many times have we seen that one? The paranormal detective idea is also really old - can't they come up with something new for a change? The whole thing has been done to death before and developers need to start looking at something different before expecting us all to part with our hard earned cash.
I don't recommend this game.

Not bad - but a bit disappointing at the end!

I really enjoyed the game and it had a decent extra story. Why the average rating? Because you can't go back and find the morphs and crystals you missed - that was a big no-no for me - very disappointing at the end!

I found this game very confusing and the tutorial sadly lacking in many areas for me. Despite the BFG explanation, I still felt the story was too vague on many levels. The game is very obscure and the tasks the same. I could only stand this game for about 15 minutes before I had to give up. The game did nothing to interest me and while I know a lot of people liked it, it was not for me; I found it too boring and too slow.

I love all the Clutter games, but was disappointed with this one because of the clunky interface and the lack of guidance with the instructions - hence the 3 stars. That said - the games themselves are first-class and I am really enjoying playing them. I just love the smiley one. :)
I recommend this game!

This storyline was really interesting, so i was looking forward to playing the game. However, I am not an experienced player, so was disappointed when there was no guide, just hints. I also found that the hints were very vague and there were many times when I clicked on the screen to complete an action and nothing happened, although clearly it should have done. In the end, in pure frustration, I abandoned the game.
I don't recommend this game.

I love this series of games and was pleased to see the next installment. I love the option in a game to choose how the story progresses as I feel it is great to make the experience as individual as possible and i like the different range of problems and hidden objects. Once again a triumph. Keep up the good work!!!
I recommend this game!

I was looking forward to the next chapter of these games and it seemed as though this was going to be a really adult game, with a strong story line. However, the demo only lasted 30 minutes, with a very abrupt ending - very amateurish!!! But, knowing the games reputation, I went ahead and bought it. 45 minutes later, I was left wondering why I wasted my money. The game was far too short, the ending was far too quick and felt very rushed, there was no option to return and complete collectables and the puzzles were same old, same old. I think the developers just fancied an easy job and threw this one together. This just isn't up to their standard!!!
I don't recommend this game.

I played the first version of this game and really loved it - but sadly, although this one seemed to be another first class game, there was no story at all. There are plenty of levels and some good challenges, but it seems nothing to be gained, other than achievements. The reason the first game was so good, was that you could build with the resources that you collected, but there is none of that. I will probably get this game with a freebie code, but I think the developers have missed a trick here. If you just like a match 3 with lots of levels, nothing more - then this is for you. If like me, you prefer something to aim for when you complete a level, you may want to try something better like Village Quest or Joan of Arc.
I recommend this game!

I was quite interested in this game - but it really failed to deliver! I found it slow and cumbersome and the bubbles that you had to click on to move to another area or go in close up, made the scene appear cluttered. It was slow moving in between scenes and I found it annoying that if you wanted to use something in your inventory you had to drag it across, rather than one click and you hold it like most games. The hint takes ages to recharge and the music was awful. There didn't appear to be anything else to find, other than the hidden objects scenes and after 10 minutes, I got fed up of it. I wouldn't even buy this as a SE, let alone a CE!
I don't recommend this game.

I quite enjoyed this game, but where was Bluebeard? This was his castle and basically you went around taking most of it apart and all you hear at the end is that he got away!!!
Not Good!!! The game itself was quite easy. There was no map - this made navigating a bit tricky in the beginning, but much of the action tended to focus on each new area as you opened it - so it wasn't too bad. The puzzles and hidden objects were quite easy and many of them solved themselves, or were solved by pressing the hint button, which in my opinion gave too much of the game away. Generally not bad - but nothing special! By the way - did anyone notice that the music was from the Hellraiser movies - sorry - big fan - a pity this game wasn't in the same league as they are!
I recommend this game!
