if you like puzzles in your HO games, you'll love this one! It's the latest in the Sea of Lies series, and has a good story, great graphics and interesting puzzles even inside the HO scenes. The music is fun and pirate-y as well. There are sliding scenes, which some players don't like, but I'm fine with them. If you liked the earlier installments in the series, I think you'll be quite happy with this one!
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed playing the demo, and although I probably won't buy it myself, I definitely recommend that quest-lovers give it a try! It played well, the challenge level increased as it went along, and it had a nice eerie feel to it. Quest games aren't my thing here on Big Fish, but even I thought it was fun, and a good value as a SE.
I recommend this game!
The twinkling lights in the marsh look pretty, but they hold a mysterious power. Whatever you do... do not follow them!

I really enjoy the Myths of the World series, and this latest one is up to the usual high standards. I thought the graphics were particularly good in this one...even the HO scenes were beautiful. The story line is nicely strange, the whole game plays flawlessly, and the extras and bonus are worth it!
I recommend this game!

I have loved all the games in this series, and this one is no exception. This one looks, feels, and plays much like the others. but with its own unique twist. If you liked the others, this one will not disappoint! This is my all time favourite series at Big Fish!

I was very surprised when I was playing the demo of this game because the game shut down...I had played for 60 minutes straight! This is not--at least for the first 60 minutes--an HOG, but an adventure game with challenging play even on the normal setting. The graphics are great, the scenes have originality to them, and I was getting more and more pulled into the story as it went along. The 'cons' to this game are an unlockable inventory, and having to close every black bar hint and zoom scene, which normally would drop it down a star, but the puzzles and challenge are so good, that I decided to stay with 5 stars...particularly as this is a SE game. Try it!
I recommend this game!

I loved playing this game! It looks beautiful, and has some really innovative game play, A number of times I was quite surprised at what popped up on the screen! There are lots of extras, and I really like that it tells you if you have found all the collectibles in a given location...I hate getting to the end of game and being one short! This is a fully stocked CE, worth the extra cost, with good games and interesting HO scenes. There is a helper (a hawk) and although the story involves a queen, it is a little darker than it looks at first glance. In other words, its not a cute little game!.
I recommend this game!

I quite enjoyed playing the demo of this game. The story and characters are good, puzzles are varied, and the HO scenes have a nice challenge to them. There are lots of collectibles to find, with perhaps my only quibble being that they may be just a little too easy to find. Otherwise, great game!

This is a really dull game...dull colours, dull action, dull game play. It is, basically, an old school HOG with one HO scene after another. It tries to incorporate some of the darker feel of newer games, but for me, if you are just piling on easy to play HO scenes, they should at least be bright and amusing! As well, even the few inventory items you use are a pain, since the inventory doesn't even lock in place. Really? Is that so hard to do in 2015? I think this game may be an unreleased effort from back in the day. I wanted to like it enough for a punch code on a Monday, but it wasn't.
I don't recommend this game.
Decades ago, a brutal crime occurred at the Lexington Hotel. Are you brave enough to uncover the truth about what happened there?

After playing the demo, this one is definitely on my 'to buy' list! The graphics are beautiful, the atmosphere is legitimately creepy, and even the HO scenes have a good level of challenge to them. I love when game creators put more into their games than they need to, such as in the first chapter where you can honk the horn and change the radio in the car even though it does not advance the plot. I also enjoyed some of the more subtle scariness...a shadow on a wall can be more frightening than something yelling boo! This is a total 5!
I recommend this game!
After falling asleep in the cinema, you wake up in the movie. Solve the mystery of the missing film crew and finish the movie.

This game might not be everybody's cup of tea but I loved it! It reminds me a bit of the old "Lost in the City" games, which I really enjoyed. While most games lately hold your hand, this one makes you work. You have to go in not knowing what the plot is, who are the bad guys, or whether you're part of the audience or the film...or both! I love B horror movies, and I like some challenge in my games, so this really works for me! I would say people should try it first though, as it may be a niche game!!
I recommend this game!
