Rather old school graphics that we've all played before on Big Fish RPGs. Sounds during battle were rather annoying. Also, I'm a bit of a stickler for spelling & grammar and I had plenty to "stickle" on this one. However, BFG has so few RPGs that come out, I usually put up with it.
Story is pretty standard, not very well-thought-out.
Two biggest complaints: levelling up & the train.
I hate to get to a new level & have no points to spend! I like to customize my character & choose her spells. You don't need to hold my hand on this.

Fairly early on, you ride a train & need to jump from car to car. If you don't get the cursor in just the right place, you end up stuck between the two cars & can't move---AAARRGHHH! Now if all I had to do was save & reload, fine, but you end up stuck again, have to go to a previous save & load from there. I am a firm believer in saving all the time, but this was just frustrating.
I wish I could recommend this game, but sadly, cannot. There are many other RPGs out there worth the money, but not this one.
I don't recommend this game.
The day famed mystery writer Adora Graves died the lights went out in Beacon. Cast light on the town or be stuck in the shadows!

Only played the demo, but this is on my list for the next sale or credit, whichever comes first. Liked the graphics, but some HO scenes were a little blurry in spots. Do NOT care for the "diary" to sparkle all over the place.
Seemed that there were lots of things left to do at the end of the demo. Hopefully that means there is plenty else to do in the rest of the game. A bit of a challenge at times; I had to use the hint button a few times, but not so often that it became frustrating. Puzzles were ok, not very hard, some just took a little
patience to figure out.

Great game overall
I recommend this game!
