Having just finished this game, I can say it was value for money as an SE. It was nowhere good enough to be a CE. Most of it was commonsense. The graphics fell down on the HOS otherwise they were quite good. Good story, I played the 1st Shadow Wolf & will look forward to continuing the story with the next one. The only complaint I have is that HOS items are not always named correctly & I end up looking for the wrong item. Thanks BF & Devs for the entertainment value.
I recommend this game!

If I had played this game as a demo I don't think I would have bought it! But when I got into it, it turned into an excellent game. Good graphics good story line. The hogs were sometimes hard to find but the hints were great. Wide screen once you unticked the wide screen option. Great job by fly wheel, 1st game I have played from them & hope they come back with more. just when you think it's finished you get another chapter. Fantastic. Well done Devs & bf for bringing it to us.

This was a good game & I enjoyed it, but I didn't need the SG as the map told me where to be. I don't understand why people write a review from playing the demo! Yes, the demo can give you some idea as to if you will like it, not always. This game had lovely graphics & I never notice the music or if a voiceover for a child is really an adult as some have said. I guess I get imersed into the game & little things like that are not important to me if the game is good. I did have wide screen with it. Enjoyed the bonus game but it won't be missed on the SE as it's not important to the game. Well done Devs & BF for bringing excellent games to us.

Someone is killing the guests at a mountain resort, and you could be next if you don't figure out the mystery and solve a Mountain Crime!

This is such a great game, I never had any problems with it. Loved the graphics and the HOG round ones. Good story made a change from asylums and haunted houses. I was pleased to have the map to give direction as to where you should be. Hint filled fast and the walkthrough was good. Nice long game although you do get a hint as to where it is going by the photos. I should think there will be another one as the ending arrested the wrong person. Well done devs and bf. for bringing it to us.

Having played the 1st one with the twins in it & enjoyed every minute, I was so looking forward to this one & it didn't let me down. A great game, good graphics & puzzles. Hint charges fast as does the skip button if you get stuck on a puzzle. Not too large an area to run around. It' a 5* from me. Now looking forward to the next one. Thank you devs & bf.
I recommend this game!
