I thoroughly enjoyed this one! It was a well written mystery with great graphics, characters and sound! The HOGs were of a very different variety. A large circle with 8 smaller circles holding the images of what you had to find. The progression of the game was perfect. Storyline very engaging. However, there is a lot of death along with the mystery so it is not for the faint of heart. Puzzles not to hard. If you love a good murder mystery, this games for you!

I really enjoyed this game. The graphics were amazing, the sound and music was awesome!! The puzzles were not very challenging, however they were entertaining. The storyline, and characters were engaging. It felt as if I stepped into a very good fantasy novel of which I had a part. Loved it!
I really enjoyed playing this game! The storyline in a game is very important to me, and this one was creative and enjoyable. The graphics were Fantastic, the sound was good, although I did get a little tired of Cogglethorpe's voice introducing each puzzle...but that's just me. I really enjoyed this game. The hidden objects were by category, rather than by item, ie: " find all containers", "things made of rubber". I liked the change. I do highly recommend this game.
I just want to say that I really enjoyed this game. I loved the story, graphics, puzzles, everything! Often when we get to the end of a game we feel rather unsatisfied, it's just over. This game however, gives you a satisfying ending, it is like being involved with a good movie, yes...I loved it!

I have never wished that I would have bought a collectors edition after playing the SE, but I wish I did on this one! Great graphics, sounds, characters. the storyline was spooky, suspenseful and engaging. This is one of those games you don't want to quit playing because you can't wait to see what happens next. Unique puzzles which I thouroughly enjoyed. HOGs are crisp and clear.

I totally enjoyed this one! Great graphics, loved the music and sounds. The storyline was good, loved the characters. The puzzles weren't hard. This was a very entertaining game to play. I'm glad I bought the collectors edition because I especially liked the bonus chapter, the game wouldn't be the same without it!
I really enjoyed this game! While the storyline is not my favorite, I did like the adventure, as well as the puzzles. The HOGs were well lit and fairly easy. The graphics were great! I like the type of game thats makes you really have to think, and remember what you have already seen to complete the game. I will have to say that this game had some of THE MOST DIFFICULT PUZZLES I have seen in a long time, and I loved them! One puzzle took me a couple of hours to do, but I did not want to give up and kept trying....ahh the sweetness of success!! I do recommend this game, but probably not to newbies.

At first I was so excited to find a game with adventure/sunshine/outdoor/island game, as opposed to magic/darkness/ghosts/old manor games! Boy was I disappointed. HOG items are labeled wrong, items are hard to see, and sometimes items you need to use (disarming the plane bomb/wire cutters) don't work at all so you can't solve the puzzle. Sorry, but this is a no buy for me. I hope someone comes out with a new Island/Sunshine game soon!

I have given many reviews, and just when I was beginning to feel that all the games were alike, i.e. Ghosts, demons, save your Dad.... this is the first one I truely found to be unique! You travel from the present to the Ghost Realm through mirrors, when you find useful items you can't take them with you so you have to hide them, return to the present and find them! I loved the concept. I really enjoyed the story, which is always an important part of a game for me. Graphics were good, sound was good. It all came together very well. Puzzles weren't too hard, very clear picture, I liked that! I'm hoping they will make a Haunted Past part two! Great job Gogii!

I enjoyed this game. the graphics were great, the sound was enjoyable. You could travel back and forth in time, I found the time machine to be particularly helpful. It was fun to change the future by use of the time machine. The HOGs were fairly easy, the puzzles were not hard, some were uniquely done. The only drawback for me with this game was that it was "to be continued". Can't wait to find out the ending, but I guess I'll have to wait until the FUTURE!
