This is a pleasant game with an interesting story line, and nice graphics. The HO scenes are varied, and held my interest better than most. My only complaint is that it plays slowly...the cut scenes are slow, and the story drifts along slowly as well. Good game if you want a slower pace, fast action fans, beware!.
I recommend this game!

I loved this game, and am now playing the sequel. The graphics and the imagination shown in making this undersea world are amazing! The story is good, as are the voice overs, and the hidden object scenes are fun, but it was the fabulous scenery that kept me saying WOW!

This was a game that got better as it went along. It starts out ok but the creepy factor builds right up to the end. It is middle difficulty, and has a great story line, and good voice work.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed the first installment of the series and was not dissapointed in the sequel. It has a great story...the world has fallen into a coma and our hero must save his beloved and the world from an unknown force. Interesting artwork, wonderful ideas, and lots of tech stuff to do!! HO scenes are good as well.
I recommend this game!

This review is based on the demo. Although this is a relatively standard HOG, I quite liked the challenges in the hidden object scenes. Some of the objects require a number of steps to pick up, and some are only visible after others have been found. If you want easy hidden objects, you might find this game a bit frustrating. The only downside I found was the somewhat jerky transition from one scene to another.

This review is based on the demo. This game hooks you right from the start with a sort of Blair Witch type intro. The hidden object sections are challenging and fun, and some of the cut scenes black out so you have to imagine what's going on. Scary but not gross. Nice take on the teenagers in a spooky house genre!
I recommend this game!

This is a good game with an interesting story based on a Lovecraft novel. The graphics and puzzles are interesting, and so are the HO segments. If you like a lot of hidden object scenes you'll love this game, if not you might think there are too many.
I recommend this game!

This is a standard HOG, relaxing and fun. I used it in between playing more challenging and wierder games, and it played well. Seems a little shorter than most HOGs

This is the beginning game in the PuppetShow series and it is a wonderful mix of weird and bizarre happenings in the burnt out shell of a puppet theatre. The HOS are great, the graphics and storyline truly original, and there is some great dark humour. I have played all of the games in the series, and they are all equally fun!
I recommend this game!
