This game is interesting to play. The graphics are alright, not the best I've seen but not bad. I've always liked games with an egyptian theme so this intrigued me enough to want to play. There's enough things to do to keep the interest going and I like how a mummy pops up once in a while to shoot in order to earn a hint. I only got to play the demo which lasted 40 minutes and still not exactly liking this enough, at least compared to other games, to buy it.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this sequel to Maestro: Music of Death.
The developer, ERS, makes such beautiful graphics and pairs just the right music and voice overs with the scenes.
The game offers not just 2 but 3 difficulty levels to play, casual, advanced and hard so since I always play the expert level on most games, I decided to try hard and it was perfectly challenging but not so much that I couldn't figure it out. The storyline in this sequel is as good as the maestro previous to this one so enjoy!

I was very disappointed in this Jewel Quest. The graphics weren't that great and I missed the little challenges of finding things in between playing the jewel boards. I give a thumbs down on this one!
I don't recommend this game.

I like that the developer of the game suggests to play with the lights off and the sound on. Do this to get the full effect of the game. The sounds are great and kind of creeps you out! There were a few more HO scenes than I would like to see but overall the demo seemed pretty good. I like the way they use wormy looking squiggles to mark the HO scenes instead of sparkles which was different and how each time you click on the items, they kind of go "poof" with a special sound effect so giving attention to those little things makes the game interesting. Also, it was kind of cool to see one HO scene in the shape of a phone. I only played the demo so not sure if there are many puzzles yet but there seems to be lots to do along the way. The kitchen mini game was a little different too. It's not the greatest game I've played but worth playing, especially with the sound effects and the voice overs which make it more real and creepy!

I enjoyed this game. The graphics were great along with the music. I like that the game gives you 3 options of difficulty to play: casual, expert or hardcore. I played on expert as I typically do on every HO game and it was fairly easy. You can't really go wrong purchasing this game!

After just playing the trial, I thoroughly enjoyed all of it including the storyline, the graphics, sound effects and puzzles. I tried the expert level of which the puzzles are
fairly easy to do so I don't know if the hard level would be any more difficult. There's plenty of things to find and easy to know what to do with the items to keep you moving right along in the game.

I enjoyed the trial of this game which has a good storyline, realistic graphics and just enough mystery to keep you moving forward to see what happens next. It's not too difficult but just challenging enough. Probably a good one to buy.

From the very beginning, this game is so engaging! I love how you can customize not only the difficulty level but whether your hint recharges are shorter or longer and other
things as well to suit your liking. The graphics are great, the music and voices are done well and even the lightening outside sounds realistic and a bit scary. I enjoyed how you go into the ghost realm through reflections to find something to "hide" and go back into the natural realm to retrieve what you've hidden.....very clever! This game seems to have a good balance of everything. I've only played the demo which is short but hope there's puzzles involved to play.

This was a fun game to play with enough things to figure out to hold my interest. I especially find games with the Egyptian theme mysterious.

The best thing about this Dark Parables game is the storyline enhanced by the music and sound effects. I'm a little disappointed in having to find "pieces" of items in the HOS
but it's not bad. It's an interesting game and fun to play. There's a little too much repetition in the puzzles with matching the items to the corresponding people or animals.
I think it would be worth buying the SE for sure but maybe not worth the CE.
