I really like the whole mall setting. The mannequins are creepy. I have only played the demo but what I have seen so far I really like. Another must have game from Elephant. The graphics and audio are clear and not too over the top. I like what I know of the story line so far. The mini puzzles are a good challenge and not to extremely hard. The hidden object scenes are interesting. I really can't wait to see where the rest of the story takes me.
I recommend this game!

At first I really didn't think I would play more than a few minutes of the demo . I really didn't think I would like it. The more I played it I quickly changed my mind. Very cute and charming game . If you are familiar with the Mortimer Beckett : Time Paradox games it reminds me of those. You got to find the right objects to use in the right places to advance the story. I am not sure about buying the collectors edition but I will eventually buy the standard game. The graphics are cute and cartoon like. The challenge of the game was easy enough for kids but still had a level of challenge to keep me interested. The sound track is enjoyable, I really like the part in the scene where you got to put the machine together. I really think it would be fun for everyone.
I recommend this game!

I play hidden object games all the time. I love the Mystery Case File games. I have them all and enjoyed everyone of them. They all bring something different to the table. This one however has inspired me to write a review which I haven't done in a long time. I love going back in time in this game and seeing the characters from the past. The story is well written and the graphics are fun old school. I only played the demo but it was well worth the 90 minutes. I can't wait to buy the game and see where else it goes. In fact I won't wait to buy it because I liked the demo that much.The mini puzzles are very well done and challenging and there are a lot of them. I can see myself playing this game over and over.
I recommend this game!

I base this review on the 90 minute demo. I love the game I have been waiting for a great Pirate themed game and this is it.A Clever HOS scene in the beginning and the cleverness and fun just carry through the rest of the demo. I rarely buy a game right after reviewing it but this is the rare exception. From a pirate ship, to the beach, to the pirate town the characters,story, and scenery make it a joy to play. Don't miss out Dive into a grand adventure.

A beautiful addition to the Dark Parables collection. I always enjoy the stories from the Dark Parables. As always the story is intriguing and left me wanting more. The art work and graphics are a pleasure to look at. The hog scenes aren't too dark and make it more enjoyable to seek and find pieces of the most brilliant puzzle items used in the game. I like how they always bring characters from the previous games back into the story. I can't wait to see how the rest of the game unfolds. The story is based on two kingdoms trying to get hold of a fallen star artifact that will grant their every wish. Be careful as you try to solve the mystery when mechanical beast attack.

I love this game it is a one that I will absolutely buy. It has some cool, scary visuals which a few made me jump in my seat. It has a few different collectibles through out the game. Good mini games great story and scenery. Save your sister from the hotel after she goes missing while there writing a story about the Lexington Hotel. Elephant has created another winner!!

Comparable to Pioneer Lands and Royal Envoy. Very nicely done graphics, sound, and story. Levels get progressively harder but not too difficult. The tutorial was clear on what to do and the controls are easy just point and click. Nice addition to the list of other time management games.
I recommend this game!

For what I saw I love this game. It took me back to other games from the past. Unfortunately I can not come up with the name of those games right now though I searched to find them. What I am talking about is I love the areas where you got to find other objects through out the game to make other things work. Like when needing a bandage you got to first find water, herbs and a bandage some where else in the game. It makes it more of a challenge. The mini games are good. I like the graphics and story. The only negative in my opinion is the excessive music. The HOS are good and there are two different kinds. One where you just find the objects and the other where you got to use other objects from the scene to find the main items. For a collectors edition I just wish there where more extra stuff to look for like the morphing objects from other series. The doves you got to look for but those seem easy and there doesn't look like there are too many to find. Other than the lack of something extra and the annoying music I really did like the game a lot and can't wait to finish it to see how it ends.
I recommend this game!

I am writing this review based on just the demo. I love what I see so far and will waste no time buying the full version. I like the the change of story location from the cold snowy scene to the deep south. I also like all of the new elements in the play of the game. The HOPs and mini games are a good challenge as always. I did not really care for the comic book intro but it gets the the storyline going alright. The graphics, sound and the story are all well done. I found the demo really enjoyable.
I recommend this game!

I took a chance to see what this was and I love it. I looked at the sample pictures and thought it would be a hot mess, not my type of game. I played Clutter and found it to be very addictive and a lot of fun, trying to better my score. I waited for my game credit to come up today and got Clutter right away. It is downloading now and I can hardly wait to play. In the allotted amount of demo time I did not get to play so many of the different mini games, but it looks like there are plenty to keep a person busy. Give it a try you might just find your next favorite game.
I recommend this game!
