i have just finished playing three of the best CE's BigFish has produced in a while namely Cadenza, Off the Record, the Italian Affair and most recently New York Mysteries. I thoroughly enjoyed each one and could recommend any or all to anyone. Then this one comes out with reviewers immediately giving it five stars as if its even in the same league as those above. It was poorly produced, the graphics were dreadful and the story was without any originality. I was completely unimpressed and uninstalled after playing for a short while. I cannot see the point of giving every game that comes out five stars just to be the first reviewer off the rank.
I don't recommend this game.

I love the series and this is by far the best. The graphics are fabulous so well done and detailed. The characters are fluid in their movements and the voices and voiceovers are just wonderful good enough for any pirate movie. Can't understand anyone not giving this a five. I thoughly enjoyed all the little puzzles too as well as the main ones. The storyline is well done. No technical issues with this developer either! Won't go into details others like to do that I just like to give a quick thumbs up when deserved and this deserves two!!! Just loved Davy Jones!!
I recommend this game!

I have bought so many games from this developer and all have been of an excellent quality although I was disappointed with the cartoonish figures in Raincliff 2. I agree wholeheartedly with Nilosh on this one. Apart from the HOS which were perfectly drawn the actual game itself was poor. The graphics were nothing like we have come to expect. The figures moved stiffly and it looked just plain amateurish. There are too many reviewers giving 5 stars to anything Pennmom needs to be a little more discerning!
I don't recommend this game.

Paranormal Activity or The Ring in a game. Don't play this at night when alone in the house. This is a seriously adult game. NO KIDS,
I loved it but I expect a nightmare tonight it was so very well done. Each cut scene I had to back right away from my computer I was so terrified about what would happen next. Previous games have sometimes been a little scary but nothing like this one. Quite a complex storyline. Very well done puzzles not too many HOS. Interactive map. VERY scary ghost. You need the CE and even then it leaves you hanging I can't even imagine what the sequel will be like. It finished with so many unanswered questions. A very well done game with intense music which got the heart racing. A must try!!!

This is my top game so far for 2014. It was beautifully done in every possible way. The storyline was intriguing, the puzzles were on a variety of levels of difficulty, the HOS's were extremely well devised and quite difficult but certainly not busy. There were a number of characters to interact with and quite a number of mini puzzles throughout. There was a delightful kitten to assist as well. Everyone should give this one a try!!!!
I recommend this game!

I don't recommend this game.
Everyone deserves a second chance – even the stingiest of them all.

Again a wonderful twist on a Christmas Story from Elephant Games. I think all gamers have been thoroughly spoilt by these developers this week with Mystery Case Files;Fate's Carnival and now this one. Exceptional graphics, great story line and lots of cute cats for cat lovers. Intricate gameplay as is Elephants hallmark and challenging puzzles. A couple of the HOS's were a little small and busy but overall they were well done and the items cleverly hidden. I won't go into details other reviewers have done that but will say this is well worth the CE price as was Fate's Carnival. I think the programmers at Elephant all deserve a bit fat Christmas Bonus and some quality time away from their computers!
Merry Christmas to all fishies!

I am not going to go into the story others will have done that but I will say it was excellent and worth every cent of the CE price. The graphics were stunning, the voice overs were really well acted. There were collectibles and achievements and Isis a gorgeous black and gold cat to help out. The mini games were enchanting although some a little difficult for me but the "puzzle hint" was terrific. The hint button worked like a charm. The cut scenes were so professional unlike some other we have encountered recently like Whispered Secrets; Into the Beyond. Well done Elephant a truly remarkable game!!!
I recommend this game!

Based on the trial which I might add lasted only 40 minutes.
I agree with others that the speech was childish. It sounded like the sister was just having a great time not trying to rescue Emma from some maniac. The artwork was not up to the standard I expect from a CE, neither were the cut scenes. HOS's merely ok with the usual horseshoe teddy bear etc which we all get a bit sick of. Collectibles were merely butterflies. Not very imaginative. The people were drawn which I don't like either. I have just played Punished Talents twice I might add and this game is nothing compared to that.

This one has it all but more importantly it was original!
The developers had tried hard and succeeded in making this game so very different from all the others yet still maintaining the genre. I thought Enigmatis and Surface the Pantheon were excellent but nothing like this one. I am not going to repeat what others have already said I would just urge anyone out there to download the trial and experience this game for yourselves. Many congratulations to the developers on a truly amazing game.
