Played the whole demo, casual
- 3 modes, casual, advanced, expert
- Integrated SG which shows 9 chapters
- Voice overs
- 30 collectibles (steambugs)
- Achievements (H0 with no hints, mini games with no skip, reading dialogues, etc...)
- A lot of dialogues
- Notebook in which you find your objectives too
- Interactive map which shows areas of interest
- Shortly after playing you get Matthew, mechanical crow, a great help for out of reach objects
- H0, you interact in more than one way. Some are FROG, some are silhouettes, some are regular ones
- Mini games, not over difficult up till what I've played. Some new and rather cute.
- Hint is useful outside H0
- Skip button
- Good graphics
- Good music
Some strange earthquakes occur. You meet Pr Ink in a small village, ruled by the iron hand of a major. Ink is kidnapped, up to you to rescue him... This looks like a nice game, not over thrilled about it, but good. Will most probably wait for the SE.
I recommend this game!

Residents of Happy Orchard Farm are disappearing at night. Is there an innocent explanation, or could the farm be at the mercy of supernatural forces?

Played 20 minutes and it's been a pain.... :S
- No mode to choose
- No voice overs
- A lot of dialogues
- A lot of H0, extremely dark for most of them, you can hardly spot the rather big items. Supposed to be interactive, but I couldn't sort out how they were !
- Hint doesn't indicate you where the item is in H0s, it gets rid of it instantly :S , outside H0s just tells you there's nothing to do here
- Came across two mini games in a jungle of H0s
You end up in a lonely farm, your boyfriend has disappeared, you meet a lot of chatty ghosts and have to beware of alive scarecrows..... It's been a pain to play these 20 minutes (hand held all the time) but I wanted to give the game a fair chance. When I entered the girl's room and saw dolls all over the place, then the boys room with a computer in good place, this became too much for me and I exited as fast as I could. :S
I don't recommend this game.

Played the whole demo !! (very seldom for me), casual
- 2 modes, casual, expert
- Integrated SG which shows 14 chapters and 4 in the extra play !! Only pictures in the SG, which I don't fancy too much....
- Voice overs
- Notebook
- Shortly after starting the game you get an interactive map that goes in your notebook
- You get back, after a little while, the voodoo doll hint (crush), no voice over for it, rather a shame
- You get a doll house, as in the other game, you add figurines in and get to know more about the hero's story
- H0, regular interactive ones, or you have to drag objects to find an item, or you have to find 12 of the same items...not too easy for these, items are small and background is dark
- Good, not over difficult mini games
- Hint refills quickly and is useful outside H0 (takes 2 minutes in expert mode)
- Skip button fills quickly too (casual)
- Good graphics
You're looking, with your daughter, for your disappeared husband. You end up in a creepy motel, your DH runs away with your DD and you then travel in a creepy world, full of scary puppets and clowns. Lots of actions to perform, a good game, a little too dark color wise but may be it can be adjusted, didn't check. A buy for me, especially with the sale :P
I recommend this game!

Played the whole demo, regular
- 2 modes, regular, expert
- Voice overs
- Notebook
- No map
- 12 achievements to be gained throughout the game
- Shortly after starting the game you assemble a mind reading device. It goes at the bottom right of your screen, pretty useful with animals !
- A little later you get a little robot who will help you through tricky situations, it goes at the bottom left of your screen, next to the notebook
- Hint is extremely useful
- No H0
- Mini games are good and not over difficult
- Good graphics
- I got black bars at the top and bottom of my screen
A peaceful kingdom is attacked by an iron army, only the baby princess escape the castle. With the help of your uncle you try to save the kingdom and the prisoners. A very nice game, which is a nice change. Well worth a punch card credit.
I recommend this game!
