This was a fun game. The puzzle made sense the HOPs were old school, but still good. Tricky enough to be challenging, but not hard enough to be frustrating. The plot was good, not amazing, but it made sense in the very least.
The extra game play while not necessary for the plot was treated with the same care as the rest of the game and its puzzles also made sense.
Overall a great older title suitable for kids and adults! :)
I recommend this game!

This game has an interesting concept and good graphics for its age. But the stand out part is the puzzles and HOPs. Lots of verity and lots of fun to play.
If you can get past the old graphics this is a fun game, especially for the price!
I recommend this game!
Experience the birth of the terror that gripped the island of Tormente! Every story has a beginning, but few are as horrifying as this!

I wish there were more games in this series. It's seriously creepy! This is the final chapter in the story and also shows how the town became cursed.
It has good mini games, decent HOPs, and the plot is great! The "map" mini game that you have to play over and over got boring after a while, but the rest of the game was worth it.
I recommend this game!

This was one of the first games I bought on this site. It's a great game. Interesting puzzles, good plot, nice graphics (for its time).
The only part I could have done without is the fairy that helps you. She narrates the whole thing and it gets a bit tiresome after a while.
Good game though! Would recommend for children or adults.

This game continues on from the first Twisted Tales. This time you are the woman who was rescued in the first game. I really love the plot of these. I also liked how you returned to some of the same places as the first game. It made the whole thing seem like one long game instead of two.
Still a lot of HOPs. I would suggest playing the demo to see if you like it first.
I recommend this game!
Gather items, solve puzzles and make spine-chilling discoveries as you explore a deserted island in Twisted Lands: Shadow Town!

I liked this game enough to get the next one. Its plot is really unique and the ending is unexpected.
However, there are A LOT of HOPs and the graphics aren't that great, though they are good considering its age.
Worth a play through the sample, to see if you like it.
I recommend this game!

This game had a great story! The plot and characters made sense AND the way you used and interacted with objects made sense!
The only down side is the graphics are not good. And the HOPs are old school and not very interesting. But the other mini-games are decent and the plot and object puzzles make up for it.
Can't wait to play the next game! :D
I recommend this game!

This is the first game in the Mystery Tracker series...and it is not very good.
The biggest problem is how the problems in the game are solved. For example: I need something to throw at an object to knock it down from the ceiling. I have a stick. Instead of throwing the stick to get the object down, I have to use the stick in a bear trap to get a boomerang to knock the object down. Or (my favorite) I need sand so I will grind up a sandstone block in a meat grinder to make sand. The second one I actually needed a hint to figure out because that is not how physics works in reality.
The other bits about this game were okay. The graphics, the mini-games, the HOPs, all pretty decent. The plot, while a little heavy handed was not bad, but overall the game was just kind of meh. The concept however was great and since this game is older I'm going to give the next game in the series a chance.
Oh and I would also say you don't need to get the bonus chapter, but I'm guessing the villain in the bonus chapter will be in the future games.
I don't recommend this game.
