To the developers of this game ---- Great Job! There was nothing about this game I didn't like. The interweaving of two time periods with identical storylines was a great twist. I would love to see more game like this----challenging, historical, and enjoyable. I couldn't stop, literally! The game kept me glued to my computer; and when I absolutely had to stop, it was with great reluctance. I couldn't wait to get back to the game. Again, A Great Game!
I recommend this game!

Loved this game. I was beginning to get tired of the same storylines and hidden object games that were offered lately, but I'm now renewed and ready for the next game. I was so glad to see such a user-friendly map since later in the game I couldn't always remember where I had seen a particular hint, so the map was a big help. And the helper (hint) was also appreciated. Now that I've finished both the main and bonus games, later I'm going to start over and see what happens when I choose a different ending. The storyline was great, as were the graphics and mini games.
I recommend this game!
Unlock the secret rooms in the Howard’s mansion and restore a precious antique collection hidden there.

After playing more than half of the demo, I stopped playing so I could buy "Antiques Mysteries: Secrets of Howard's Mansion." The mini games are unique and thought provoking. So far I have loved each of them, although I am stuck on one of them, but I will keep at it until I get it. I am enjoying this game tremendously! I wish there were more like it. Developers -- keep up the good work.
I recommend this game!

I bought this game 25 minutes into the demo, though I should have just bought it from the beginning since I enjoy this type of game and have loved the other Mystery Trackers games. Although I haven't finished the game yet, I have not been disappointed. The developers have another hit on their hands.
I recommend this game!

Loved this game! The storyline was excellent and was different than any other game I've played. The diary gave the background and some hints that were helpful at times. The story has kidnappings, murders, a corrupt politician, the execution of an innocent man, and finally revenge satisfied. The extra game play added the perfect ending.
The music was great too. Several times I didn't keep on with the game because I was enjoying the music so much.
I am glad I bought the game after playing the demo for only a few minutes.
I recommend this game!

This is a great game. The developers were considerate and have given the player the option to lighten the screen, which has long been a regular complaint in these forums.
In addition to finding hidden objects, the players also has to find pieces of paintings, statues, and other objects. There are also "hint" coins to be collected in each screen.
I bought "Curse at Midnight..." without opting for the free download and don't regret it. I didn't even realize I had been playing for as long as I had #I still haven't finished#.
I recommend this game!
Someone is killing the guests at a mountain resort, and you could be next if you don't figure out the mystery and solve a Mountain Crime!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I couldn't help thinking how much it reminded me of the Agatha Christie novel "And Then There Were None." I recommend this to anyone who likes a good mystery and some really challenging puzzles. I don't believe it would have been as enjoyable for me if there were true hidden object scenes. I find HOGs tiring after awhile.
I recommend this game!
