I enjoyed this game, nice to have circles instead of lists of things to find. Clever storyline. very helpful hints. Great graphics. Read the words at top of screen or you will end up like someone else who didn't "quite get it". Well done Devs & thankyou BF.
I recommend this game!

It was so good to play a game in such a lovely house. Makes such a change from rundown or burntout houses. Excellent graphics. I really enjoyed going from room to room.
You have 20 pieces of jewelery to collect & 17 fingerprints. By unchecking the widescreen it will go widescreen. Good storyline & people to investigate. Map shows you where you are & where all the layout of the house is, over 2 floors & outside. Hint system tells you what to do next if you click on your objective, in full detail. No walkthrough needed.
Quite an easy games but still enjoyable. I like these new Devs, Urchin. It's also nice to get a SE that is of a reasonable length. I look forward to more games of this high standard. Well done BF & Urchin & thank you.

Just finished this lovely game, I did enjoy it. The hint cat I found amusing, did anyone else notice it washes it's paw & tries to catch passing flies. 24 cats to find as an extra. Good storyline with a suprise ending. Quite a lot of HOS which you really had to look for some items but excellent hint if you got stuck. also hint very good at telling you where you need to go next. As an SE it was well worth the money. I hope to see more from this DEV. Thanks BF & Dev. for a very enjoyable game.

Great HOG from these Devs, right from the start I was caught in the storyline. I loved getting "powers" HOs were good that you got some where you put items back as well as finding them. Good Graphics. Lots of fun for me, I waited for the SE and glad I did as it's not a long game. Excellent, Thanks BF & Devs.

I bought this game inspite of poor reviews and very glad I did. The graphics are not the best but the story line is good. I have the previous game to this one too. It's interactive HOS were good but sometimes you had to click several times to get an item. good puzzles, some new ones to me. It was a fast hint button, map that showed you where you had something to do. Tapes to listen to as you went through the game. I had to check out the WT once. I enjoyed this game and never got bored or wanted it to end. I hope the end leaves room for another in this series. Thanks BF and DEVS.

This game is awesome, all the way through it never loses the magic touch of Elephant Games, some seem to get fed up near the end and the game trails off. NOT this game, I loved it. Full of different puzzles and interactive HOS, the story line was excellent too. The hint was a great help if you got stuck and jumping with the map to another area was ideal. Thank you BF and Elephant.

I quite liked this game, pretty scenes but not the best graphics. I had a black bar top and bottom of screen which I don't usually get but that did not subtract from the gameplay. I found chapter 4 boring. Story line excellent. English voice wrong! But never the less it kept me out of mischief for a few hours. It was nice to have all the different puzzle scenes instead of repeated HOs. thanks BF & DEVs for something different.

What a great game this is, I don't usually like so many HOs but the story was beautifully done and the graphics were fantastic. Even though it was't wide screen it was so clear that it didn't matter. Lovely "ghosts" and voice overs. Fantastic scenes. Bought on offer without playing the demo and very glad I did. Well done Devs and BF.

I played the demo of the CE and knew I would love this game. Before I bought it the SE came out so I bought that one. It has everything, suspence, thrilling, wonderful sounds to keep you on your toes. The beauty of this game is you can turn down the music without losing the voices or the sounds. Good HOS, great hints if you get in need of the next way to go. The graphics are good. And it ended without being abrupt as a lot have been lately. Loved it and was sorry when it ended. I rate this as being worth the CE price. Enjoy.

WOW, this fantasic game has it all. the graphics the sound the suspense, it's thrilling, it's an adventure plus some HOS. Don't turn off the sound or you will miss so much, the recordings are brilliant the voice that toys with Sam is sinister. You can hear Sam breathing & the odd cough. This really has the WOW factor. One of the best games that I have played. Thank you BF and DEVS, this is also a long game. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
