This game has one of the most bizarre storylines I have ever seen with a somewhat sinister looking doll and a dangerous clown who could certainly give small children nightmares. The puzzles are not particularly taxing and many of them could not really claim to be puzzles at all. However, it's still a decent game to play and the hidden object scenes were some of the better ones I've seen with some cleverly hidden items. I doubt anyone would come away thinking that this was the best game they ever played but I don't think anyone would find their money wasted.
I recommend this game!

I was always going to be interested in a game based on the Middle Ages and this one certainly lived up to expectations. The puzzles range from easy to fiendish and there was just the right amount of hidden object scenes to contend with. The visuals are excellent and the background music atmospheric without becoming repetitively annoying. The one negative I would have was that I don't particularly like being insulted whilst playing and the comment that a Descendant would know better was unneccessary and irritating. But this is a very minor niggle in an otherwise exceptional game.
I recommend this game!

As a fan of Space Invaders I had to try this game. Not only does it have a cute storyline but it is addictively fun. The best part is the different sorts of lasers that you can use and knowing which ones work best in which situation is part of the challenge. Plus, you can continue on from the beginning of the last level you were playing after you lose all your lives, rather than starting over from the beginning.
I recommend this game!

Despite the somewhat overused theme of the Templars this is an enjoyable game and with its long length is well worth the money. The atmospheric music adds to the mystery but the naff cut-scenes are pretty laughable and take away from it somewhat. The best part about this game is that you sometimes have to use collected items in the hidden object scenes to unlock an item on the list. This makes hunting for hidden objects a little more exciting. Although at one point I was nearly driven to destraction trying to find an item in the scene which was actually in my inventory.

A sufficiently creepy and atmospheric game with an intriguing plot which I thoroughly enjoyed playing. It felt like I was walking round in a surreal painting. The mini games started out easy but got harder as you went along. The only (slightly) negative part of this game was that the hidden object scenes had to be among the easiest I've ever encountered. And bizarrely, objects collected from hidden object scenes were later back in the scenes when you returned to them. But certainly nothing to deter from your enjoyment of the game. I look forward to a sequel.
I recommend this game!

Although this game looked good initially, I found myself somewhat disappointed by the quality of it. There seemed to be a mishmash of styles as well as confusing accents. Why were James Voodoo and several of the other characters British (not that I mind as I am as well) when the game apparently takes place in America? And why did the flapper's accent change throughout the game? There were several errors like the name change from Holy to Howly and even Howlie and two opposing pages in a diary numbered 66 and 68. Small points but still, you would like to think that the developers would take the time to be accurate.
In the hidden object scenes items did not always match their description, eg. watch for clock and plate for bowl and sometimes you had to click several places on the item for it to be cleared from your find list.
The mini games are okay but as you only gain hints from them it takes the away a bit of the motivation to play them. I'm a big fan of mini games so played them all but they seemed sort of pointless and were pretty easy.
Overall it is an okay game but I would certainly do the trial game first. I did the trial but made the decision a little to early to purchase. It wasn't a waste of money, per se, just something I would have only bought if I had nothing else to play.
I don't recommend this game.
