This is a gentle, kindly little sci-fi story. It's nothing special, but its not bad either. A young woman tries to bring her scientist uncle back from the void his latest invention has put him in. Nice graphics and soothing soundtrack. Not especially difficult and not very long. I don't know if I'd recommend it for a full credit. I used a bonus credit. Still, it says the story is to be continued. I wouldn't mind playing it and am looking forward to seeing it.
I recommend this game!

I love this game! The graphics are great and the storyline, especially the background information revealed in the badges really holds my interest. It's a game with great replay value. I loved it and and its prequel The Ripple Effect. One thing I say for all three games, I replay them over and over again and don't get bored. I really hope that they keep the games in this storyline coming. My only regret is that it isn't a Collector's Edition. Its really long and deserved to be.
I recommend this game!

I loved the Flux family trilogy. This last installment really lives up to the quality of game play that I've come to expect from this series. Great graphics, and an intriguing story line. It seems to me that this game, like a couple of other non-supernatural HOGs (The Scruffs Return of the Duke, Big City Adventure London, were meant to be CE's) but for some reason didn't make BigFish's cut. Too bad for the developers, great for the fans. Still, I'll probably be cutting back a bit on Bigfish games since I find the supernatural not the best diet for my tastes. Still, enjoy this last Flux family game! I'm more a sci-fi, detective or adventure fan who doesn't want to have some ghost or witch or wizard driving the story all the time.
I recommend this game!

I've never had a HOG that was as challenging and fun to play as this one. Once I started it, I had to buy it and I had to keep playing until I "finished" it. It's a nonlinear game that has you wandering all over the place performing weird tasks for various citizens all in the quest to see the mayor for an interview. Word to the wise, don't expect much from the good mayor! Hope they keep games like this coming!

A very challenging game. I'm more a HOG fan than point and click, and I am used to that walkthrough, but with patience and forum help I did finish it. A good, solid game. Graphics are a bit dated, music ehh. Still, I liked the story line.
I recommend this game!

This is an awful game. The cursor was unresponsive, had a bad interface. What was Bigfish thinking? I really wanted to try this since I like historical themes, but this game is unplayable. I stopped within 15 minutes.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a great game! It's a CE length at an SE price. It's a refreshing change from the all the ghost and witch games that we've seen so much of. Keep games like this coming!

I like the Nightfall Mysteries series. It's of a good length and has a great story line and great characters. I guess if you're not a real HOG fan, perhaps this isn't for you. It's not the easiest HOG out there, it's just challenging enough to keep you interested and if the puzzles are too much, there is always the skip button. I am looking forward the next installment in this series, I've played all three and liked them all.
I recommend this game!

This isn't the worst game that I've ever played, but it is very, very close. Not intuitive, at least not for me. The hint system was pretty bad. I guess the fun is supposed to be figuring out what to do. I agree with the person who made it to the yacht, once on it, I rearranged the statues and then didn't know what to do. I finally clicked on the menu button, left and then started playing at the point I'd left--presto! Instructions on how to get to next destination. Made it into the tomb before hour ran out. Wouldn't use a game credit for this. Might buy it for $2.99 but never full price. Needs tweeking.
I don't recommend this game.
