This probably could have been a delightful little game if the HOS's hadn't been so frustrating. I had to use the hint button continually, and tons of random clicking to hopefully hit something on the screen that was needed. So much of the hidden objects were close to invisible or so eensy weensy as to not even be recognizable. Stupid way to ruin a nice little game.
I don't recommend this game.

I give this game high marks because I enjoyed it so much. I loved the HOS's, the puzzles, the music, the scenery, and the very, very wicked old music teacher! Beautiful game, and wonderful that it carries on in the sequel!

The character animation is a little distracting when they're talking, but not to worry! The puzzles and HOS's are pretty good, even challenging at times. A few puzzles are really simple and take just a minute or two. I liked the scenes very much, although some of them were terribly cluttered. I have to say that I enjoyed this game, and have played it a few times.
I recommend this game!

I loved this game. I noticed that some reviewers didn't care for it. Personally, I found that the HOS's were a little tough in places, but I liked the challenges. The scenes were very nice, and I like the scanning ability where you can move to the right and left and see more of the scenes from different perspectives. I enjoyed the puzzles and the characters, and got plenty of play time. Good game for me.
I recommend this game!

Really well-developed story and characters, and a great plot where the girlfriend works to save her boyfriend. Very creepy music and scenery, appropriately shabby and disintegrating town. Good HOS's and pretty easy puzzles.

Well, ESL dialog, but you can get past that. Pretty strange graphics at times and kind of cartoony, but that's no problem. Eerie story and music, and a few very simple puzzles, help make this a funky little sleeper game. At times, I'm in the mood for this game and I play it over again. Other times, not so much. Am I glad I bought it? I think so.
I recommend this game!

This was so much fun to play: the murder plot, the characterizations with dialog, the scenes on the island (made me wish I could go and stay!), the HOS's, the puzzles, just everything. Good job, and wish there were more from this developer.
I recommend this game!

I loved playing this game, not knowing if there was a real werewolf "dogging" me, or just a mad villain intent on throwing me off his trail. Great HOS's and puzzles, and background music that left me feeling on my own in a gothic landscape. Loved this one! And the bonus and follow-up games are great, as well.
I recommend this game!

I've only played the trial for 15 minutes, and I'm already sold on the beauty and charm of this game! I couldn't give 5 stars for the challenge because I obviously don't know about that element of the game as yet. I can't wait to purchase this one. It's going to be a favorite, I can tell.
I recommend this game!

All I will say is that I had to click so many times in the first few minutes that I was tearing my hair. I don't understand why everyone thinks this is fun?! I just don't get it, and I'm willing to admit it may just be me. I couldn't uninstall this fast enough.
I don't recommend this game.
