I love this game, BUT I only managed to play the Demo and that took a lot for me to finish.
I love to buy & finish this game BUT can you lovely fishes tell me how you finished the game as I am getting a lot of flashing, not on the main game screen but on the bottom screen where the Options are, Help, Map, Task etc.
I recommend this game.

I first bought the original game back in 2001 when it came out, and paid a lot of cash for it.
To see it here at wonderful BigFish is a sight for sore eyes. Thank you BigFish.
Saying that the game is a Point & Click Adventure and for younger HOG players it is nothing like you are used to, and you will probably give it a bad review.
The game play is a lot moving about and again not like HOG games just clicking room to room.
The characters are like puppets and don't expect them to be realistic, they are 3D graphics which was the new concept in Adventures back then, by the way the original game took me nearly a month to finish, not five hours which is the time it takes one to play a long HOG game.
The Adventure itself and storyline are very good and a good twist in the end.
Give it a go.
I recommend this game!

Brilliant Point & Click Adventure. For those who are expecting a HOG game let me say this game is a pure point & click adventure.
I played the full hour and being a gripping game, the hour disappeared. I cannot wait to buy it to finish the game.
I played in Expert Mode and still found it easy.
Storyline is not unique, but a good story nonetheless.
You have a Journal and a Map (Map in no transporter).
Voiceover is good and clear.
Graphics are slightly dark (being night time, but should be lighter in daytime).
There is a Hint button, but I have not used it so I don't know how quickly it refills in expert mode.
There is no penalty for rapid clicking, you have to click on everything and everyone to find what you need, but like I said, there is plenty of help.
Please give the game a try before you review.
I recommend this game.

Congratulations another great game. The story grabs you from the start.
Original storyline & mini games.
Visual is nice & crisp. Music is bearable.
Great voice over.
HOGs plentiful but not too easy.
Mini games are a bit easy. (but I have only played the Demo).
What else can I say about this game.... I have played the Demo in Advanced mode and up to now everything about this game is great, it keeps you alert and wanting to know what is around the next corner.
The storyline is for you to help friendly ghosts to rid their town from Blackjack the killer ghost who is cursed and cannot find peace until all the inhabitants of Deadwood are dead.
Will I recommend this game.... Yes definately and will be my next buy.
I recommend this game!

Have waited for this game since the CE came out, looked a promising game. I am disappointed that it is rather childish and not much challange in it at all.
Visual and Sound is excellent, good voice over. Storyline ok but predictable.
I have played the full hour demo slowly and clicked on everything, knowing that some trial games don't go the full hour, but still it was too easy. I still finished the demo 2 minutes before the hour was up.
There was no anticipation or thinking in this game for seasoned adventurers.
Game play was different, no HOG lists just collect 12 of whatever, which were easy to find.
As for buying this game.... only as a Daily Deal.
Recommended for family or children.
I recommend this game!

I agree with another reviewer. I always try games that get a bad review. I am a seasoned Point & Click Adventure player who has played every adventure on the PC since the Old Speccy and own over 600 HOGs.
I think this game is worth playing to the end. I must say I did not like all the hints. It should be left to the player, after all this is why we play games, for the challange.
Graphics are well done for the type of game.
Does not need all the 'speech ballons' to help you.
Music was bearable, but truthfully I always turn it down.
HO are challenging, can't always find them easily (as they should be) and not overcrowded.
I enjoyed the puzzles except for the Blank Paper which you had to check on all the bottles before you got to the right one. Too repetitive.
Finished the hour Demo and am 60/40 for this game. Could have been better without all the hints.
Will buy only as DailyDeal.
I recommend this game!

This game gripped me from the first click. As good as Haunted Halls - Green Hills Sanitarium. Story line is perfect. Graphics is beautiful and Music is haunting. HOGs are good and interactive with people & animals good. I played the expert version and still found it easy enough for seasoned adventurers and beginers alike.
I recommend this game!
