The storyline is Ok in this game. Bad graphics, cut scenes and way-too-easy puzzles kill this game. Sorry to say but this will likely be my last EIPIX purchase. I think they could slow down the development process and put a bit more quality and care into their games.
I don't recommend this game.

Many other reviewers have reviewed the overall outline of the game objectives, so I won't rehash them here. I would like to comment on the more "Technical" aspects of the game. I assume this is a small developer, as they don't release a lot of games. That being said, many of the "larger" developers could learn a lot from BN Games. Every game they produce has fantastic graphics with great cut-scenes, excellent VOs, and very nice sound. It seems they care more about the QUALITY of their games, rather than just churning out a new game every 2-3 weeks. My hat is off to them for another well-done game! I only wish more of BFG's developers took the same approach.
I recommend this game!

Eipix usually has fairly solid story lines and this game is just like all of the other Dark Parables in that regards. Where it fails is the cheaply done intro, menu, and cut scenes. They amount to fuzzy moving cutouts and sketches. BF absolutely needs to find a few more "mature" voices for the female characters. The childish, "valley girl" manner of speaking of the younger actors is ruining almost all of the games these days.
I don't recommend this game.

This is actually a fun game with much improved graphics over what ERS used to put out. Kudos to the devs and artists! My only beef with this game is the nearly unbearable "valley girl" voiceovers for the female characters. BFG really needs to improve in this area. This was the first game in which I actually had to turn the sound off because of the voices.
I recommend this game!

I will add my agreement to the other positive reviews that this is indeed a great game. The graphics are outstanding. Elephant Games used to be my favorite developer but their graphics quality have slipped significantly over the past two years. This developer (MadHead) has become my new favorite. I may be a bit old school, but high-end graphics is a must for me. So many BFG developers have moved to a moving still drawing format that I find "cheap". Hats off to the development team for doing such a great job!
I recommend this game!

I really don't like giving bad reviews, as I'm sure a lot of effort goes into creating these games. That being said, I regrettably bought this game without reading any review and, boy, do I wish I could have the money back. This game honestly feels like it was created about 8+ years ago. I'm finally uninstalled it about 1/3 of the way through. I just couldn't finish it. Some may like it, but I do suggest you try it before you buy it!
I don't recommend this game.

Bravo! I know games types are each of our own personal preferences, but my two cents says that there are far too few games like this on Big Fish.
Yeah, variety is good, but there's getting to be too many games with "precious" assistants and low quality graphics on BFG these days.
Well done devs! Awesome game.
I recommend this game!

Elephant Games is my favorite BF developer. The graphics in this game are NOT the usual EG quality. The story and game play are "ok". It seems like every new game from every BF developer sees the overall quality take another step downward. I suppose this increases development speed but, personally, I'm tired of spending money for such poor quality games.

I made the mistake of buying this game without playing the trial. I could only tolerate about 30 minutes of play before I uninstalled it. ERS is a developer that hasn't improved one iota in the past 5 years. Even the music is pretty much the same. This will be my last purchase of their games.
I don't recommend this game.
