I seldom review games, especially some time after they come out, but I just finished this one for the second time and I have to say it is pitch perfect. It is the only game that I have ever played that I kept the music on because I wanted to hear it specifically and the organ grinder singing 'The Raven' at the beginning just blew my mind. I love the music. I love the voices, particularly the organ grinder. I love the story. This is one of two games that I have rated six stars out of a usually five. A game not just to be played but to be viewed and listened to and enjoyed.
I recommend this game!

This is a true sequel to the first Stray Souls. That is more obvious in the bonus section but is sprinkled into the storyline all through the game. This series has the best bonus chapter concept that I have seen in any game. It is not at all necessary to understand the main part, vice versa actually, but it adds some really mind-boggling perspective to the whole.
I recommend this game!

I enjoy these games and was very pleased to see that you could play this one past time. The characters are well-drawn. There just isn't much direction as to what building does what and with what help. A little trial and error will tell you but it would have been nice if they had been a little more explicit. I like the weather aspect which sets it apart from the usual put out the fires, dig up the lakes.
I recommend this game!

I bought this based on reviews because I am limited on download space a day and can't download demos. I haven't finished it, but I have to say this is the freakiest game I have ever played. Usually when they say it's spooky, that's just kind of a genre thing. This one is SPOOKY. Love love love.
I recommend this game!

I tried to play this game twice before relegating it to the 'maybe later' folder. MCF Huntsville was my first taste of hidden object and I never looked back. Because of that I really wanted to like this game. If you feel that way, and you like morphing objects, don't give up. Third time was a charm and I'm loving it now.
One thing I did want to comment on. I have seen a lot of comments about the disturbing nature of the game. Most people seem to be most bothered by either the 'hygiene' on the mother or the delivery of the baby. Mashing the pimples was extremely grotesque, no doubt about that, though really more from just squeamishness on the subject than the actual graphics accompanying it. The baby thing though, is so obviously mannequin that it didn't bother me any more than anything else done to a mannequin. As for the sounds accompanying that section of the game, back in the time depicted mothers had babies without modern niceties like epidurals and I imagine obstetric wards were filled with the sounds of screaming infants AND their mothers. But be forewarned, it is the background noise in the house that is the most disturbing to me. Women in pain while giving birth, fine. Children being abused, no. I turn down the sound when playing the house.
I recommend this game!
