Do not let the first scene veer you off. It doesn't turn out the way it seems. I played the full version on another site and I totally loved this game and I hope Cateia Games makes a sequel. This is as to date my favorite game. What a fun long adventure you go on. The game itself is not short. No 3 to 4 hours and boom your done. I started the game in the morning, played the CE and finished it and finished this game the next day because I was falling asleep at the keyboard. The main character Helen is such a delightful character. I loved that main character. She is so modest and wanting to do everything right. The VO's are done exceptionally well in this game. Really fits the characters that you will encounter.
Story: You play Helen who's village is got invaded by the dark evil warriors so you only have a small amount of time to get your plane fueled and ready to go. Once you gathered everything you need you hop in the plane and take off. During mid flight you run into a thunderstorm and your plane is hit by lightning. You end up on this island with a splitting headache but turn out fine and you run into this warrior who becomes your ally. You become the Chosen One to restore the balance of the world. Poor Helen can't quite comprehend what she is to do at first, but she gets the hang of it. Be prepared for a long adventure full of intrigue and mystery.
Graphics: Outstanding. Everything looks so lifelike. Superb job done the art team.
Mini Games: I didn't skip any. They weren't overly challenging but not easy. Just down right fun. Truly enjoyed them.
Hint System: Awesome! One of the best I have seen in a game. Not only does it tell you where to go, it also transports you to the exact place you need to go. It also shows you what item you need to use in your inventory by show you a picture of it on your cursor.
Map: Jump map and extremely well done.
Music: Fits the game to a tee. Very well done by the music department.
To me this game rocked! I had a lot of fun with this one and I hope you do too. Kudos to the Cateia team for a job very well done.
I recommend this game!

Well ERS finally put their bunny to work. :) I played the beta version of this game and it was truly awesome! To me ERS did a superb job with this one. The main character of the game is truly funny. She's one of my favorite main characters to date. The VO's are done very well and fit the character to a tee. Note: If you use the black bar tips, the main character I noticed sometimes the main character gives hints on what item to use where. Example: With the vines on the clam shell, she says: "I will have to 'claw' my way through this one". Use the claw you find to cut the vine. The cutscenes are awesome.
Story: Well the old librarian calls for you to take a look at a book and the next thing you know you are sucked into it. Your greeted by a talking rabbit named Liev who is the kings servant and he gives you a brief synopsis on what is going on. Then you go further down the road and meet the king's mom. While you are talking to her to the Dark dude breaks in and tells the mom if you don't do as he says by a certain time, he will kill her son. So now it's up to us to get rid of the Dark dude and save the king.
H0GS: I only have ran into the silhouettes which is one of my favorite type. They are interactive. On some of the H0GS you can do a puzzle instead.
Graphics: Simply beautiful as always with this team. They're one of the teams with an art team that can't be beat.
Map: The question mark shows there is something to do and the glasses show that's your positon. It is a jump map.
Music: Beautifully done. It fits the game well and pleasant to listen to.
Mini Games: In this game totally original of the ones I ran into. Not frustrating to me, just fun.
Well, back to saving the king from that awful Eldor. Hope you all have fun playing like I am. Kudos to the bunny team was again :)

Shaman did an awesome game. Those poor prince as frogs are totally hilarious. They remind me of Shrek and the Princess's father. The animals and insects in the game are all cute. I couldn't blame the princes in the least for not wanting to kiss something like her. They probably were thinking they would get the warts from her and not the other way around. I love these types of games. Bought it straight away.
Graphics: For a cartoon type game the graphics are awesome. This game couldn't look anymore fairytale.
Mini Games: The first one was a challenge and close to a hair puller I might add. Got it though. The others I played so far was just fun and right up my alley. Totally enjoyed them.
H0GS: Only ran into a couple of them so fair. And they have been fragments that became several individual items. Like putting the backs onto bugs or putting the labels together to put onto the potion bottles.
Map: There isn't one cause you don't need one. You can't get lost. It's not linear persay you don't have to go to places in a certain order, but you do things in a certain order. So therefore you can't get lost.
Hint System: Awesome! It works beautifully outside of H0G scenes. It's like a built in map.
Music: Fits the game not intrusive in the least.
This team did a fantastic job on the game and I would definitely give it ten stars. Kudos to them. :)

Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink. Anyhoo this game looks extremely spooky and one original story. The VO's are awesome in this game and fit the characters well. Elefun did an awesome job with this game.
Story: You are playing as Emma Roberts and you receive a phone call from Adrian White who is having a severe water problem. Adrian feels the paranormal is acting up and that's why he contacted Emma. Emma seems to think Julia's death and this water phenomenon is connected somehow. So she is going to see if she can end it. This story is truly original.
Graphics: Awesome! If you have HD settings use them. My new monitor does and it makes the graphics more intense. So with HD and awesome artists we got a winner here.
H0GS: Very clear and no problem spotting objects
Hint System: Works for both in and out of H0GS. Won't have too much problem on the getting lost department.
Map: Interactive and jump.
Music: Superb. Fits the game well and adds to the spooky factor of the game.
Mini Games: Not too hard or easy. Truly right up my alley.
All in all I am having a blast with this one. Looking forward to seeing what is going to happen next. This game is like a good novel. Once you start you can't put it down. :)
I recommend this game!

The VO's are amazing. I don't know who does the main character, but talk about serious meltdown on that VO. Kinda like when the girls swooned to wasn't it Frank Sinatra? He has one of the best VO's I've heard. And such a great sense of humor. And that little fairy is awesome. She will be very helpful. And that Dr. H would be the type women would fake illnesses just to go see. :D Anyhoo this I can tell is going to be one awesome game!
Story: You and your little brother (who was totally adorable) is kidnapped by this evil mist and you have your mind set on saving him. Now it's twenty years later and the mist returned and you have to save your little brother from the countess who keeps him locked up on this island making him paint for her satisfaction. Will he recognize his brother after so long?
Graphics: Truly awesome. So crisp and clear. Kudos to the art team.
Mini Games: Not too hard or easy. Just right for me, (so far :D )
H0GS: The only one I have played so far was the one in the boat by the bridge and the purple words u have to do a couple extra steps to complete. Objects are very easy to see.
Music: Perfect for this game. Kudos to the music team. Very pleasant to listen to.
Map: It show yellow pawns as indications where to go to do things, and yes it's a jump map.
All in all 4 Friends Games did a superior job with this game. Kudos to the whole team!
I recommend this game!

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail and bringing us one fine detective this morning. Thank you ERS and BF. The VO's are awesome! The one thing I love about this series is that ERS makes you feel like you're actually working beside Dupin meaning how the NPC's mention you as his assistant and how it seems Dupin is actually talking to you. This series is always my favorite whether it has the cut animals or not. And as a rule, I never seen a lack in their games. I am an ERS fan through and through. This is one team that takes what their customers want to heart. To them their customers are number one.
Story: We are off to the House of Usher to try and find the missing twin sister of Roderick and see why the people are disappearing. We have to work diligently so no more lives are claimed.
Graphics: Superb. This team's graphics have always been. They are clear inside and out of H0Gs, and they always make everything look so real.
Music: Splendid. It's fits really great with the game.
Mini games: Not hard or easy to me. They give just enough challenge to where you are not pulling your hair out.
Hint: Works both in and out of the game.
H0GS: Didn't have a problem at all seeing the objects as the graphics were done beautifully. And they really are fun.
Map. It's a jump map and has indications on the map of what to do next. The best type of maps to have.
Again ERS thanks again for this wonderful surprise!
I recommend this game!

I too am loving this game. I bought it because this one I want to see the end to. Like others said there is no journal or collectibles which I am glad of. I stopped with the collectibles because it just got irritating to look for them. And having no journal is awesome too as on some games they can really get annoying as the ones that write down every little detail and flashes. I don't mind in the least that Mary talks instead of reading the black bars. Her voice tickles me. The game is spooky which is a big plus in my book.
Story: Pretty much everyone knows that Mary has to find out the reason why the toy factory closed. Of course you have your characters trying to stop you from your investigation.
Graphics: Although I just bought a couple of days ago a brand new monitor, the graphics are clear as a bell even in H0G scenes even on my Acer which I had for over a year. I love the 3D affect.
H0G Scenes: I loved the fact that on the blue words you click on them to find which one matches with the object in the scene. That's a first I seen of this. To me it's not H0G heavy in the least.
Music: Fits perfectly with the game. Not obtrusive in the least.
Mini Games: I only played two and they weren't hard at all just fun.
All in all I give this game a ten for the story, fun factor and spookiness. The way they did that rat scene, yes my sitting down place left the seat a few inches. I had no lagging or cursor problems either. The game ran smooth as silk. Also it fit my widescreen just fine no problems. Had my widescreen for 4 days now and it's 22" HD.
Have fun.
I recommend this game!

I totally recommend this game and give it 5 stars. The graphics to me are superb. The reason they look a little different is because of the 3D effects put into the game. Just an example, the water looks so realistic. Awesome VO's on this game as well. I am totally intrigued with the story and like Suede I have to see it to the end. This has everything of a CE (in fact it was better than the last CE I played, Order of the Light) except the strat guide. You also get Capt Langley's McCaw Mr. Gibbons. Very helpful bird and saves the use of ladders :)
Story: Your ship is in a storm and you crash into a huge rock darn near demolishing your ship and you're washed up on some island. Your crew is wiped out and on top of that you run into Capt. Langley who is cursed by the ring he is wearing. It gives him strong powers. His ship too crashed like our captain's and he lost his crew along with his bride to be Claire. Between the curse of the ring and the bitterness of his deceased love, he is planning to make our captain's life a living heck.
Graphics: Superb. I love that 3D effect it's so cool. In the H0GS no problem what so ever finding the objects.
Mini Games: On the challenging side and completely made for this game. I haven't had no problems with them. The only one that really gave me a challenge was the skeleton teeth one. Keep clicking teeth and pray.
Music: Totally befitting for this game. Very nicely done.
H0GS: Yellow word interactive H0GS. If your not sure what goes with what in those, just click on one half of it and the Capt. usually tells you what you need. I have seen this done in other games.
Map: Tells you there is something to be done at a place by a green exclamation point. I love that as it really helps not to get stuck. It also is a jump map.
Hint System: Works in and out of H0G scenes. Very helpful hint button.
All in all Kudos to the team for making this game. I am truly going to enjoy it. It doesn't matter that I will lose the punch because this game to me is totally worth. I have to see what happens.
I recommend this game!

Oh happy day. This is my second favorite series from ERS whereas Dark Tales is number one. The VO's in this one was superbly done. And the intro was awesome! I am thoroughly looking forward to this game. I keep up with your Facebook page and you said it's coming out but I didn't expect this soon. Thank you!
Story: Well our ancestor the owl spirit calls for our help to stop the evil Wenonah from destroying our ancestors and making sure we aren't born. Fine how do you do. So we must travel back in time to help our grandparents and stop her evil plan. To me this lady should get a life.
Graphics: ERS is known not only for awesome games but gorgeous graphics. I have to say though they outdid themselves with these. Truly remarkable.
Music: Beautifully done and it fits right with the game.
Mini Games: The ones I encountered were right up my alley. ERS mentioned they hope we liked their mini game in RC 6. I love all your mini games and I know I will love that one too.
Map: It's a fast travel map. No trudging in the snow.
Hint System: It works great outside of the H0GS as well. No worries between the hint system and the strategy guide of getting stuck.
This team did it again. Never ever have I had a bad game from this team. They truly try to please the players and they go above and beyond that. ERS rocks!
I recommend this game!

Well another superb game by ERS our bunny team. The voices are done are done superbly. They couldn't of done a better job getting the voices to match with the characters they are portraying. Right from the beginning I felt it made you want to play the game to see what happens next. The collectibles in the game are pearls which you use for your tower to tidy it up, furnish and decorate it. I think it's cool and a different concept :)
Story: Well the man of your dreams you had your eye on since the beginning wants to get married and he believes in the fate of his silver arrow that it will find the bride for him. (I guess back then men didn't believe in courting). Well the arrow was meant for you but some shapeshifter was hired by another woman to steal the arrow from you. The other woman couldn't come herself? What a wuss! Now you have to go on your journey to get the arrow back so you can marry the man of your dreams!
Graphics: Simply awesome. I would love to see a pic of these artists. No flaws what so ever in their artwork. I love the vibrant colors, especially the one who drew this Prince, Dupin and some other male characters. They may be young enough to be my sons, but the eye candy.
Music: Fits beautifully with the game.
Mini games: Just right for me. Just the right challenge.
Hint System: Works well in and out of H0G scenes.
Map: It's a jump map that has the 'arrow' for you are here, the 'exclamation point' for something to do there, and the 'checkmark' for area completed.
I look forward to playing the rest of the game and see what awaits our Prince and Princess. What evil that shapeshifter has in store for us since that other woman can't do her own bidding. To me this definitely 5 stars plus. Kudos to the team!
I recommend this game!
