Had a strange feeling of deja vu while playing the demo, I'm sure I have already seen this game. Brother kidnapped by hooded men, will you rescue him ??? Checked All Game Forums but don't see a CE, I only play and buy my games here, this puzzles me !
Well worth a punch card credit....

Sorry if I'm a little early, but beta tested this game and I just couldn't wait !!!!
Played nearly 20 minutes casual
- 3 modes, casual, normal, hard
- Integrated SG, you can't access it in the demo sample
- Mini map showing you your current location and points of interest, you get full map if you click on it
- Task button
- Hint refills fairly quickly and is useful outside H0
- Didn't come across any mini game during the time I played
- Fragmented objects in H0 as usual in Dark Paarable
- Music a bit loud
- Gorgeous graphics
- Interesting, imaginative version of Red Riding Hood.

Coudn't exit the game fast enough to buy it. You're fighting against the Wolves' Queen, beautiful locations, interesting gameplay, lovely game and now, as I say when I love a game...it's mine, all mine !!!!, great hours of play ahead.
I recommend this game!

Played 20 minutes, casual
- 2 modes , casual and expert
- Notebook
- Map which you get shortly after playing a bit, you can jump from one place to the other
- 2 kind of inventories, regular one and keepsakes inventory where you gather clues for mini games, you click on a flower, bottom left, to get it
- Integrated SG which stays on the page you leave, it only shows two chapters
- Live characters
- Voice overs, which is a shame as you soon wish Edwina would shut up...
- Very nice music in the opening of the game
- Hint refills quickly, useful outside H0 unfortunately with Edwina's voice...
- Skip button
- Mini games easy up to what I played

The story is another one of a missing boyfriend kidnapped by evil ones. Not sure I will buy the CE, and this Edwina's voice...Her boy-friend should be thankful to have been kidnapped, at least he won't hear her for a while, may be 300 years if I don't finish the game !!!!!!!!!
I recommend this game!

Long time a strange creature hadn't created a car crash ! You've got to rescue theater performers turning into freaks. This looks like an excellent game and I would be perfectly happy if it wasn't for the black bars I can't adjust, never had this problem before with The Agency of Anomalies' games. Still, it's a buy for me. :thumbup:

A murder, brief glimpses of a past time, will we travel back ? Angelica Weaver, who you see at the bottom of you screen, is a bit annoying, nodding each time you do something right. Looks like a good game but I'm not sure I'll buy it. May be I should play more of the demo, felt left out as the play went on...
