Been waiting for another Midnight Mysteries to come out. This does not disappoint although another developer created it, but stuck pretty much to the old format, which I liked.
Graphics are clean and good and storyline is comparable to the other Midnight Mysteries, which I all own. It is an easy game, some minigames can be a bit challenging.
I play these games for the storylines and the funfactors. Still clovers to collect and ravens to find. Achievements as usual.
I enjoy games that are based on somewhat true events and where I can possibly learn something.
Yes it could be more challenging, but I love these kind of games anyway. I'm having fun and I got sucked in enough to give it 5 stars.
Even with this new dev I think they did a pretty good job.
I will be buying, especially with this sale going on.
I recommend this game!

It should have been a tremendous achievement, but the tunnel through the Ridge of Leviathan became the site of a great disaster. What really happened that day?

This is a fantastic game, it is definitely the story that pulled me in. It is different than the usual ghosts and gremlins.
The train with your husband and daughter disappears in a tunnel and you go back there to find out what happened and search for them.
Lots of achievements, collectables etc. You collect flowers that will open up the pantheon throughout the game.
Graphics are very well done and cutscenes are a delight to watch.
Finally a game with a good storyline that will keep you hooked.
I enjoyed the previous Surface games but I think this one is better.
There is a helpful map that tells you where you have things to do if you run out of ideas.
Thank you Elephant, for being different
I recommend this game!

I really like this game, reminds me of Lost in Night, which I played twice already.
I like the graphics, smaller tiles, but very detailed, I especially enjoy playing hexagonal tiles.
You earn coins which you can use to buy stuff to upgrade your ocean.
It is relaxing most of the time but gets harder in timed mode as you go on.
Very nice colors, achievements, upgrades to buy, bombs, magnets etc.to collect during the game which come in handy as the game gets harder.
As you play along you open up more game styles such as swap, group and chain style. This adds to the fun so it really never gets boring.
When I need a break from the adventure games, this is what I go to.
I recommend this game!

This is a fantastic game. From outstanding graphics to a very intriguing story. Heck you can practically smell the salty air from the ocean. It is so real. Eipix is slowly becoming my favorite devs.
Superb realistic map, the ocean so clear even on the map that helps you find objectives.
Collectables of course, achievements, HOS within HOS.
New fun minigames.
There is a lot to do and a few characters seem familiar from previous Eipix games. Nice treat.
I love the story, based on true events. This game is simply stunning. Cannot comment on bonus. I have not finished it yet, but I am absorbing every scene taking my time.
Much to do within the game, just what I like.
One of the best IMO for the year so far.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoy this one. There is a lot of variety to it, many challenges throughout the adventure mode.
Catch fireflies, only remove yellow stones, horizontal only etc. Story is quite fun. Every game is different.
As you go on you can pick to only play challenge etc.
Never gets boring.
I recommend this game!

I gave it a try and surprisingly after playing 15 min I was hooked.
Graphics and colors are very nice and there is a ton to do in each scene.
HOS can be challenging since some objects are pretty small but never impossible to find.
Love the story and locations. It has me totally involved and I need to find out more. Yes, as previous fishies mentioned, the men are very yummy..
You never hang on to a found object for too long.
I really liked the add on of the cryptic disk. Gives the game a little extra " umph " and you find out some more details about the back story.
Well worth the SE version
I recommend this game!

It seemed promising but I got bored after 15 min. Lot of dialogue, too much talking with the townfolk.
Can't really put my finger on it but I had to delete.
Graphics are ok, find steambugs, very easy to spot.
Sorry, just not for me. I need to be challenged, this did not deliver

Another excellent game from Elephant. After playing all the other Grim Tales this one snuck in as my favorite after : The Legacy.
It was not too scary to me although there were moments that made me jump. I absolutely loved the drawn little stick man, where some of them seemed alive and helped with small hints.
Fantastic graphics, good story , super map and diary.
But what got me was the bonus game. I highly recommend buying the CE. The bonus is a game in itself, almost an overload of things to do, and once finished you have yet another part. the hall of memories where you get to collect more items to free the rest of the children by replaying certain games. Oh wow, so much to do.
I truly enjoyed this game with so many locations and never got boring.
This was well worth every penny. And the ending was satisfying and somewhat a relieve. Mary wasn't all that bad after all, considering what happened to her.
I recommend this game!

This is a marble popper with a twist. You take turns defeating the bad guys. That requires some strategy since each bad guy has different abilities.
You earn coins and crystals that you can use to buy upgrades.
Minigames in between are a lot of fun, and I'm playing it for the second time. Hope there will be more like this.
Very much enjoyed this game.

This game is simply amazing starting with the gorgeous graphics. Heck I would love to roam down this old sea town. Just look at the cobble stones.... So real, you can practically smell the sea.
Lots to find, orphing objects, coins, seahorses etc.
Just like in the first one you need the coins to get more information about the history.
Cutscenes are plenty and amazing. Map is helpful.
This game is hard to beat . It is one of the best I have played yet. And I have many.
No way you ever get bored. make sure you read everything and back track. I don't like to jump the map, because there are things that can be missed.
Enjoy, I certainly did.
I recommend this game!
