A good story, well developed. Gorgeous graphics, as well as VO and soundtrack. Very good suspense atmosphere. Scenes with the lost souls are really neat and well made.
HOS are well balanced, not really interactive, without much challenge - even with a few objects hard to see - because the hint fills fast, even in the hard mode. Some mini games are pretty fun, others not so much.
No map or journal, but is not a problem since there is not much coming and going.
I really like games of this genre / theme (ghosts, lost souls, haunted places), but The Island of Lost Souls, despite being fun and entertaining, it's kind of slow compared to the others, sometimes tires waiting.
Once upon a time in the small, undistinguished town of Silentville people started disappearing. Help uncover the mystery behind these disappearances and save the town from a curse!

Everyone disappears mysteriously Silentville! Very attractive and well developed story, especially because the cutscenes bring how was the disappearance of each character. Good crisp graphics, made with care, as well as VO and pleasant soundtrack. Many locations to explore, with good level of challenge. Sometimes we do not know where to go. But ... it has a good map, and a journal - and hint takes you to where you have to interact.
Really interactive HOS, for example, to get the cheese you have to remove the mouse, which will be placed near a cat, which is also hidden.Or put together parts of objects, or even actions like extinguishing a candle. Popular mini games, like connect the railroad tracks (connecting pipes) and others brand new.
This game provides very good entertainment for the weekend! Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Custscene at beginning already holds you: divers found a shipwreck and the skeleton of a famous pirate of the past. Starting at the museum, going to the ship and then to the island, this excellent game takes you on an incredible pirate story, very well developed and attractive, with outstanding scenes, sound and VO. A great adventure... and even some scares!
Interactive HOS, with good visibility, but if you want you can play mahjong instead. Several and varied mini games, and even the popular bring news - a lot of fun. Both HOS and mini games are not very challenging, but are nice and entertaining. During the game objects in the inventory are quickly used and not stored too long, but still have enough coming and going.
Be sure to watch the cutscenes, really unmissable!

To play Dark Alleys was like being inside a thriller ! Great suspense story : a kidnapping in a sinister place, where murders (with an ax,) took place half century ago! Outstanding cutscenes with real people, perfect VO and excellent sountrack ! You feel in a movie theater.
The game is listed as HO, but is totally different from the usual scenes full of objects - is more an adventure game, and as you go along, you will finding and using things that go into inventory . One great thing is that not has to be going back and forth too much.
It has mini games, some already known, but with different details and difficulties - like put together electrical wires, but in a brand new way! Really enjoyable. It has a box where you store the tapes you are going collecting ... and MUST watch !
There are three difficult modes- casual, hard and advanced. I played in hard mode and, although not very challenging, the game is incredibly motivating, fun and entertaining.
I had played the free trial of the CE, butit ended after 40 minutes. Now I will buy the SE.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin back to seek revenge and infests the city of rats ... again! Game very well developed!! Excellent storyline, great cutscenes with amazing voice over, very nicely done graphics, very appropriate soundtrack. Several interactive HOS with good visibility. Not too difficult and the scenes are repeated. Great brand new mini games, some challenging and also previously known games, but fun. Three levels of difficulty...It has a map with tips on where activities have to be made, and a book with the objectives, and they come up as you move on. Be prepared to see lots and lots of rats! But also to have a great time of fun and entertainment! Just play... I bought it!

Varied and interactive game - HOS (sometimes several of the same object, sometimes different objects), puzzles, tangram, find differences, etc.. Start with 3 Hints, but in all the scenes have question marks to be collected for extra hints. Many dialogues, but you can skip. Music sounds good, but for being repetitive, tires. Game is not difficult, and always has sparkles where you have to interact. Tutorial and comments appear all the time. A good entertainment without requiring reasoning. Ok to pass the time.

I bought this game in 2009 ... Today I played again ... What a disappointment! Could not play more than 15 minutes! Excessive HOS, not challenging. Mini games easy. No dialogue or story that keeps attention. Anyway, comparing the games developed nowadays, it has become obsolete.

Help to save a town - and the wax statues !?!?
Superb graphics, great story, very good VO. Cutscene at the beginning with real characters is really attractive, worth watching ! Immersive atmosphere, ambiance very well done, neat in the details.
The game is very entertaining and enjoyable, although not very challenging. Good balance between HOS, mini games and adventure. HOS are interactive, with good visibility and hint fills fast. Some mini games are already known, but entertaining because because they have some different things from usual. Others are new and really enjoyable.
I really like this kind of HOPA. Provides lots of fun!

Save Frederick, who disappeared 20 years ago when his father, a great filmmaker, was murdered !! Game is very well done, excellent graphics, well-developed story with real characters (which sometimes turn into drawings), amazing VO, great soundtrack that create a very appropriate atmosphere.
Two levels of difficult. No map. Good amount of interactive HOS - not too difficult, some minigames with good level of challenging, others less but enjoyable. Great different locations to go and to explore. Besides the HOS, minigames and adventure in exploring the environments, you have to collect the "Father's Secrets" as 10 cards and 20 photos. The game itself is not very challenging, but is extremely attractive and entertaining. Highly recommend to anyone to have moments of great fun.

Help to find the oracle of Ur in Mesopotamia. Graphics are ok, VO is well made, but too much talk, music is very tiring - endlessly repeats the same. Only one level of difficulty - and pretty easy. You can not skip tutorial - spoken and written !! HOS are easy, and start with 3 hints. If you find three gold coins on scene, you win one more hint, and, besides being able to use the three when you want, if finishes, fills fast. No penalties to random click. Collect gems to purchase "more help" (remove jewel or shape, time, free swap) in Match 3 - which is formed with boards that you collect in scenes. Mini games easy and well known.
Pop up and VO all the time, explaining, helping, etc ... very annoying ! It has three characters, when the first ends the investigation, the other begins - in the same places! All the same. I quit !!
