My rating is based on playing the entire SE. It is between 4 and 5 stars, meeting most of my requirements. It could have been a little bit more challenging, difficulty more adjustable. W/o that silly laugh it would have been great.
- Story: Kind of mystery story. Your mother went to Sallenville City, the place where you were born. She wanted to write about Grandma and is not back yet. Jack and Bertha are going to look for her. An accident occurs on the way. Your chemistry knowledge and Berthas ferret skills are in demand. It turns out, that a witch is holding your mother captive.
- Difficulty can only be customized partly. Tutorial, sparkles, penalty and hint / skip recharge. Helping texts can’t be excluded.
- Graphics/locations: Beautiful varied scenes, which fit thematically.
- Animation and Voice-overs: Well done.
- Tools: you have an interactive map and Bertha’s proven support. Later a magical glove helps on the move.
- HO’s: Different types, mainly descriptions. Small tasks, such as riddles or magnifying glass are often preceded. Slightly interactive. You can switch to a matching game.
- Mini Games: Quite easy.
- Adventure part: There are the usual 4-6 locations to be explored. The tasks themselves were very logical, but as so often, needed items were to be found on strange places e.g. coffee beans. You have enough items to make it something exciting and not to be too obvious. All in all neither particularly challenging nor boring. Enjoyable.
- Specials: Sometimes you can click on something and something will happen
- Length: I needed a little more than 4 1/2 hours to finish the game.
Dislikes: This silly laugh, which is supposed to be devilish. Dreadful.
I recommend this game!

My rating is based on playing the entire SE. It meets most all of my requirements, except length.
- Story: Your pet was fetched by a robot, as well as many other dogs. You’re going to rescue Bear. So much in advance: there was a happy ending.
- Difficulty can’t be customized. Langue was German.
- Graphics/Locations/Animation: So nice, cartoon style.
- Mini games: a lot of arcade games. You can play them again later.
Not so much to think, rather skill is required.

- Adventure: Nice. You have to act a bit over multiple scenes.
- Length: Far too short. I needed about 2 1/2 hours for completing.
I recommend this game!

My rating is based on playing the entire SE. It meets most of my requirements. Such as nice puzzle and interesting HO’S.
- Story: A fairytale. Bad Bluebeard tried to force sweet Rachel into a marriage. He took her to his castle and imprisoned Richard, her fiancé. Bluebeard is cursed and all of his offspring were going to be monster.
Alternately you’re either Rachel or Richard.
Alternately you’re either Rachel or Richard.
- Difficulty can be customized only partly. Tutorial, sparkles, hint / skip recharge. You cannot exclude helping texts, but tips were kept within reasonable limits. Nevertheless: I prefer playing w/o them.
- Graphics/locations: fitting. A lot of locations
- Animation and Voice-overs: quite good, but not outstanding.
- Tools: you have an interactive map only.
- HO’s: Nearly all kind of interesting types, such as an interactive description mode, combined with complements, interactive silhouettes, uncovering matching pairs, reflection… You can switch to a match 3 mode.
- Mini games: You can chose easy and hard. Easy is really pretty easy, but it helped solving puzzles, which I don’t like. And there were a lot of different puzzles.
- Adventure part: nicely done, due to the switch between Richard and Rachel it was interesting. Tasks were logical. Not very challenging.
- Specials: Some gimmicks, click and enjoy. Not very exciting, but nice.
- Length: I needed about 3 1/2 hours for completing.
Dislikes: The end was annoying. Bad Bluebeard was defeated (surprise, surprise) but it was somehow silly.
I recommend this game!

- Graphics/locations: interesting style, a mix between film like sequences, comics and graphics. Modern.
- Animation and voice – overs: state of the art.

- Adventure part: not that difficult. Just when I thought, wow, that was fur sure pretty short, I discovered act 4 ;-) . It’s a little bit unusual, 2 acts in one game.
The tasks were logical, you have to investigate 2-5 locations.

- Specials: none
- Length: I needed about not even 3 hours for completing. Normally, with such a short length it would have earned 3 stars only, but it is a really, really good game. Thus, I gave 4 stars
I recommend this game!

My rating is based on playing the entire SE. It meets all of my requirements, such as interesting story and challenging games.
- Story: You have to bring down Gehenna Tower, to get a promotion. In it, several people have disappeared for years. Now, it should be destroyed.
The tower was equipped with a highly an advanced intelligence system, named S.A.R.A
During your inspection, S.A.R.A took over and shut down the tower. It seems, there is more at S.A.R.A as you thought.

My rating is based on playing the entire SE. It meets some of my requirements.
- Story: Fairytale. Wildfire is ravening the forest. As a trusty detective, you’re asked to find the responsible person and stop him. It seems Kai is the villain. He tries to interfere with Gerda’s wedding with Prince Gwyn. But it was Rasputin, who was imprisoned for quite a time and who has influenced his mind, to set him free.
Be aware, what you’re wishing for.
Be aware, what you’re wishing for.
- Difficulty can be customized in most criteria: Tutorial, sparkles, map issues, glitter, contextual pointer, plus item indicator, penalty and hint / skip recharge.
- Graphics/locations: Fitting colors and graphics for a fairytale. Lucid. Not so detailed, more a little bit blurred. It is quite nice, but not my favorite style. More or less old-fashioned.
- Animation, music, voice-overs: well done. Nothing to be in a dither.
- Tools: you have an interactive map only.
- HO’s: There is one single version only: gathering and assembling various parts. Nothing is interactive. You can’t switch to another mode. Not my liking, a little bit boring.
- Mini games: Broad range, a lot based on maths. At the beginning they were pretty easy. Increasing difficulty during the game.
- Adventure part: Tasks and todo’s were not too obvious. Mostly 5-7 locations were available (standard).
- Specials: none.
- Length: I needed about 5 hours for completing. A decent length.
Dislikes:
Not very interesting.
Story w/o anything new, a rogue mage wants revenge. A detective is going to save all.

My rating is based on playing the entire SE. It meets all of my requirements. I don't understand the poor ratings, but liking is indivual.
- Story: Mystery story. Dr. Corvine wants to discover, what lurks in the dark. You’re looking for your sister, who is hired by him. Deep and gloomy secrets are to be unfolded. From my point of view, the story is indeed thrilling, albeit the end is not a completely happy end.
- Difficulty can be customized in all criteria: Tutorial, sparkles, map issues, glitter, contextual pointer, plus item indicator, helping texts, penalty and hint / skip recharge.
- Graphics/locations: Extremely good entry, highest quality. EIPIX guys do a really fine job. A little bit gloomy. Locations are to be discovered step by step, mostly are 5-7 available. Detailed and accordingly designed.
- Animation / Voice-overs: high end quality.
- Music: fitting, gritty.
- Tools: you have an interactive map.
- HO’s: Accentuated applied. A pretty huge variety of different types …description, silhouettes, morphing objects, interactive modes, riddles.… Some can be switched to a match 3 game.
- Mini games: Interesting, diversified, moderate.
- Adventure part: Almost logical, not too obvious. W/o helping texts you have to think about. Some tasks weren’t so clear e.g. typewriter and needed some of trial and error. The idea to burn a rope with a lighter instead of using the knife, is a little bit unusual.
- Length: I needed about 5 1/2 hours for completing, w/o using hints or map.
I recommend this game!

My rating is based on playing the entire SE. It meets most of my requirements. I played w/o hints.
Four stars because of high quality and really fanciful locations. To rate with five stars rating, it should have been more challenging and not that short.

- Story: Mystery story. As a literary historian you’re the last hope to find long missing tomes. It happens to be more dangerous than you thought. Your client turns out to be a villain, who wants to rule the world. Quite ambitious, isn’t it? But with the tomes, all can be possible. Find and seal them. Quick.
- Difficulty can be customized partly. Tutorial, sparkles, map issues, glitter, contextual pointer, plus item indicator, penalty and hint / skip recharge.

My rating is based on playing the entire SE. It meets all of my requirements, such as lovely locations, decent length, a huge range of minigames and HO’s and highest quality. I agree with other reviewer: this game is one of the best.
- Story: Fairytale, you’re a princess and have to rescue your family from a curse.
- Difficulty can be fully customized. Tutorial, sparkles, map issues, glitter, helping texts, penalty and hint / skip recharge.
- Graphics/locations: brilliant. Lovely, fabulous, colorful and detailed.
- Animation: excellent
- Music / Voice-overs: fitting
- Tools: you have an interactive map and sometimes your butterfly is going to help.
- HO’s: Different types such as description, silhouettes. Slightly interactive. You can’t switch to another mode.
- Mini games: there were a lot of different types, really nice done. Included some “push and pull games”, which are not my favorites. Mostly the games weren’t much difficult.
- Adventure part: There were quite a lot of locations, which were available during the entire game and not done step by step but in loops. That makes it more interesting.
To do’s were almost logical, thus playing w/o helping texts is not only possible but worthwhile.
I played w/o hints and without using the map (but skipped 2 minigames I did not like)
