it doesn't not have a custom level, but you can choose 1 of 3 levels to play. i played on casual and hints/skips were pretty fast. there is a map that will teleport you to where you need to go and usually indicate where the action is you need to take. i finished it in 3:57 hours. you are looking for your parents that has been taken my an evil being that has sacrificed himself to become a familiar. a familiar that is wants to turn all the people to stone or have them at his disposal .
you play as the queen who gave birth a year ago and the day of the christening an evil entity comes after the baby. the prince has made a deal with him in his younger days that he would forgo his first born if he made him a prince and he would have untold fortunes. well, the day has come. the queen, not knowing about this about the prince, is surprised and sets out to get her daughter back. the evil one needs her to continue to live. the graphics are incredible. very clear. there isn't a custom level but the hints and skips are pretty fast. there is an interactive map that helps a lot. sometimes the hints point to an area and i had to go there a few times to realize that what i needed wasn't so obvious. it is a great game.
I recommend this game!

Mystery Castle: The Mirror's Secret
Save your kidnapped daughter Jessica by solving the secrets of the castle. Rescue the trapped souls from captivity and defeat Groth!
you are tracking your daughter through the mirrors in this castle. you go from room to room and just as you get close to jessica some other worldly being grabs her and takes her through a mirror. as you enter each room there a ghost to talk to and help them with something. they then give you a mirror shard to help rebuild the mirror you will need to beat the enemy. there is no custom level but the hints/skips are fairly fast!!!!
there is no custom level, but here is an interactive map and it shows where you need to go. sometimes it shows many places you have things to do and you need to choose one and see if that is the place you need to be or not. you have a diary where your notes are kept. you have 2 "friends" to help you......a raccoon and a dragon. you get to name the dragon! the queen has been put under the spell of "the fog" and won't wake up. you need to rebuild the star amulet in order to dispel the fog as go through the game. that means collecting jewels for it. the graphics are great. the hints don't seem too long but the skips do seem a little long. i didn't time them but they aren't exceptionally long.

Vampire Legends: The Untold Story of Elizabeth Bathory
Another bloodcurdling tale ripped from the pages of history. This time, the horrifying legend of Elizabeth Bathory is yours to discover!
there is a custom level and a journal and interactive map that shows objectives. you are a gypsy that is asked to find a king's daughter. lady agnes has been taken and once you track her down the game really starts. an evil woman has a mansion and every young girl that has gone there has never been seen again. lady agnes is at her mansion, but you are hoping to get to her before anything happens to her. the end surprised me because i thought the villian was someone else. set up for a sequel......you decide.

Dangerous Games: Illusionist
You've been asked to cover a highly anticipated competition in New York City when something goes terribly wrong. Can you escape the world of illusions?
it is an ok game. there is a map that is interactive and shows objectives you need to do. good hint system. i have played better games from these devs. it is a long game. i had to cheat once because i couldn't figure out what to do. some of the mini games are kind of hard.

Dark Dimensions: Homecoming
For years, Barton Mansion sat abandoned, a haunting reminder of an obsession gone wrong. But something sinister still lurked there...and it's stirring.
you have received a letter from your sister to meet her at an old mansion. it has been taken over by these prickly, almost indestructible vines. the owners of the mansion were warned not to build there because the land was cursed. the female owner was under the impression that as long as they added to the house they would live forever. the male owner begged her to leave because she was showing symptoms of going mad and letting the "dark dimension" take over her mind. you run into her as you look for your sister who was taken at the beginning of the game by the "vines". you mother and father are also hostages of the "vines". this game does have a custom level and an interactive map. it is good to have a piece of paper or a good memory because sometimes you have to take notes

Haunted Hotel: Ancient Bane
Guests keep disappearing from a gimmicky haunted hotel. Is there someone pulling the strings, or are these ghosts actually real?
it has a custom level. it has an interactive map. you get a letter from a friend that you have solved cases in the past with and he claims to need your help. a hotel has been bought by andrew shadowy and he has invited people (journalists) to the hotel but they have not been seen again. he says his hotel gives a mystery experience for all, but what has happened to all the journalists? that is what you and your friend are trying to find out. great graphics. there seems to always be another haunted hotel game and just keep them coming!!!!
you are felicity adams and are known for your investigating skills. you have been brought in to prove that there was an art forgery scam going on. you do have an interactive map and a journal. a custom level. you have to track down the young lady that has been commissioned to do the forgery under the guise of restoring the painting. the original leads to a treasure? and that is why the thieves want that one. a good game that i enjoyed playing. great graphics and the HO scenes are not crowded.

Dark Parables: Jack and the Sky Kingdom
Stop the disaster caused by the Sky Kingdom and save the day!
the map is not interactive. it shows where you need to go but doesn't transport you. the hints are fast. of course you are the fairytale detective. you are investigating the sky kingdom once again. not much to be said. another adventure and the HO scenes are the fragmented kind. the mini games can be hard. it is not hard to follow where you need to be sometimes. it is in a smaller area, but not always. sequel...always. just wait until the end and you decide.
