I was wondering if I should purchase this game and after the trial, I went and zapped it up asap! It is different, great, fun and keeps you entertained on each level. There are hints and diamonds to obtain for extreme hints you can get by playing alternative games instead of searching. Try the trial out for yourself, I'm sure you will zap this one up!
I recommend this game!

I like this game and I'm not much of a puzzler but the variety of games e.g. hidden objects, paring, colouring by number, jigsaw puzzles and other games you can choose which ones to play are great for those cold wet indoor days.

I would have given this game 4 - 5 stars being a cat lover as I really was enjoying this game and I could see this being a series, however, I was unable to get all 'My Cats' in the game, no matter how many times I replayed it.
A shame as it would have been a good game without all the issues.
I'm going to recommend it for cat lovers even though there may be a hick-up in the game. And hopefully, they bring out the SE offer for cat lovers to enjoy.

Nice game well put together with an interesting journey. Based on a true story and real events with HOS & Adventure players will enjoy. You goal is to find the missing explorers; you have to locate certain item, put things together, work through HOS & puzzles and unlock ancient secrets of the past. You get certain objectives to do through the game. I also like how it tells you not to go forward as you have unfinished business within the scene (nice touch & helpful).
You travel around the world to certain locations and begin a journey within ancient lands.
As I always start my games in casual mode I did not have any problems working through things.

OPTIONS – Screen, windowed, full & wide screen – Custom cursor, music sound and mute
HINTS – available in HOS takes approx 1 min to recharge
HELP - A screen appears and you can select which topic you need help with. Topic can later be re-activated without using up another charge. Recharging takes approx. 2 min.
PUZZLES – very enjoyable and not all the usual, some new and different.
SKIP – Takes a while to charge (a bit annoying if you want to move on quickly)
GRAPHICS – Are nice and clean, clear and very well detailed
HOS – Not too difficult and items to find are not dark or over crowded with millions of other items.
SOUND EFFECTS – Great!
MUSIC – Light and does not interfere with game play
VOICE OVER – Characters interact but mouths don’t move, there are some interesting accents and done well
I highly recommend this game for its entertainment & adventure, try the trial and you will enjoy this journey.

Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials
I rather enjoyed this game, playing an author and a detective. Throughout this trial you are investigating locations with the help of ghosts that assist you along the way with information as you travel from present to the past an unravel the mysteries.
This game is more of investigating and putting things together than a full of HOS. I think both HOS and detective fans will enjoy the challenges and how this game is put together.
Best to keep an eye on your book as you uncover things along the way, as information can be helpful with the puzzles.

HINTS – these can be collected within the scenes and used with objects within your inventory
SOUND EFFECTS – These are great, some almost made me jump!
GRAPHICS – Very nice and even though it is based on the witch era not dark at all
GRAPHICS – Very nice and even though it is based on the witch era not dark at all
PUZZLES – Are great and enjoyable not that difficult as some hints are within the story line
INVENTORY – You will notice that not all items can be use in one location
COMBINE OBJECTS – This you will enjoy and alongside the inventory they have placed 2 combined boxes for you to use when needed
HOS – Not a problem to find items clear and easily identifiable
BONUS - Also remember to locate the clovers within the scenes I believe 50 of them are hidden - as this opens up an unlimited HO mode within the game, nice bonus!
MUSIC – Nice and does not distract you from the game
Overall, a good game and not too groused out for a witch’s scene. – try the trial and you won’t go wrong.
I give this the ((Rawww)) of approval to purchase
I recommend this game!

You start off driving to your sister’s son’s christening and appear at a great deserted estate more like a castle where wolves howl and creep up throughout the game play. You also have a ghost that helps you along the way a strange touch as as he asks you to reverse the tragedy that has evolved.
Here you have to piece together and be aware of the beasts while trying to solve this mystery and save your sister and her family!

INTRO – Short and sweet
MODES x3 Easy, Advanced and Hardcore
HELP – Available in HOS and throughout game play
HINTS – Charge quickly for HOS and within game play mode so no need to get stuck which way to go or what to do next – they take 45 seconds to re-charge.
HOS – Nicely paced out throughout the game not too many, clear and easy to find objects
CLICKING – No penalty
VOICE OVERS – Are great and professionally done mouths don’t move
MAP – This is shown as a compass and shows you locations you have not been to and by clicking on the ! a pop up appears with information showing you instructions, location and picture
GRAPHICS - Beautifully detailed nice, clean and well enhanced
MUSIC – is nice and they have used to enhance not abuse the scenes so you won’t get it playing every second of the game.
SOUND EFFECTS - are great!
MINI GAMES - A nice variety and challenge is great but not hard to finish, I also like how some show you how it’s solved, something that I believe should be available if using the skip button.
I did find moving to other locations a little slow, but it won’t get you frustrated and you will just play on.
I enjoyed this game in trial mode and am about to purchase it as well as download "The Bride" as I partly played that on my sisters PC and thoroughly enjoyed it.
For the trial I give this a 4.8 Something you would enjoy for both new and the experienced gamers, there are enough hints and help to get you through and be totally immersed into the legacy.
ONLINE – It is available as an online game too, but sincerely, the graphics and full screen are totally better and give you more realization.
I give this my (((Rawww)) of approval to buy!

I rather enjoyed this adventure trial based on the Celtic folklore – your aim is to restore the seasons and repair time in Hallowed Legends while you track and learn secrets to find the missing people.
Dispel evil and battle the gods with numerous mini games, puzzles and HOS.
I found the game well done when it comes to interacting with parts you find and there is plenty of help for anyone to get into this game and really enjoy it.
INTRO – Nice powerful intro and gives you a glimpse of what this game is all about
MODES – Casual & Advance
Casual, easy play, relaxing, extra help, sparkles and other helpful aids.
Advance more challenging without extra help – no sparkles or other helpful aids
HELP – Is available if you get stuck within the game by clicking on the Hint button.
HINTS - Hints are not limited and the star refills quickly in approx 40 seconds. This is also the SKIP for mini games
HOS – Clear, light and easy to find items, some items need interacting with other items to be able to pick them up.
CLICKING - No penalty for over clicking and I found the clicking to be a nice and smooth action within game play.
VOICE OVERS – None, only text to read
GRAPHICS – Are great, clear and no dark ugly places
MINI GAMES – Nice variety, not hard to work them out and the skip is on hand if you need assistance.

I have played a few jewel quest games and this one just didn't grab me all that much. But for the young or those that would like something with a story line that seems to pop up after almost each game completion then you will enjoy this game.
You have a few options of play
MODES - Relaxed, no time limits
Normal - Regular time limits
Advance - Reduced time limits
MODES - Relaxed, no time limits
Normal - Regular time limits
Advance - Reduced time limits
Voice Over's - Yes but mouths don't more
Story Line - For me, way too much, but if you press the skip button and not the arrows you can miss it completely.
Music - quiet and passive
Graphics - Nice colours & clear
Instructions - heaps of them and during game play, they could have remove them totally
For this 1 hr trial, which I didn't finish as it was way too slow for me and too interruptive with instructions & story I deleted it before I finished the trial.
But overall, don't think it's not worth downloading, my taste and opinion is based on what I enjoy and believe interests me. So for you, give it a try on the 1 hr trial first and you decide if it’s your type of game.
I won't give this my ((Raww)) of approval but suggest you try it.
I recommend this game!

This is a game that anyone can enjoy, from young to mature -
The story is about a car crash in the middle of nowhere and in a strange town you have to uncover secrets.
The story is about a car crash in the middle of nowhere and in a strange town you have to uncover secrets.
You also get to search left to right of the scene in areas giving you a panoramic view so don't miss out any clues on the way, remember to check everything!
They also give you options during game play so those that get a little bored with HOS, finally a game that gives you 2 options within the HOS you are in.

I thought they put it together well, giving you many options before and during the game,
OPTIONS - Casual mode, easy play, clearer hints and no penalties at all
Challenge mode - More challenges, fewer/vague hints, mildly penalized for rapid clicking
Extreme mode - No hints, No skipping, object search is timed, clicking penalty is severe.
Challenge mode - More challenges, fewer/vague hints, mildly penalized for rapid clicking
Extreme mode - No hints, No skipping, object search is timed, clicking penalty is severe.
HOS - With a difference! Here you get to choose HOS or Match 3 while you are within this HOS game. You can switch as many times as you like, so if you get bored with HOS, just click the switch option, and also a power button within the match 3 to speed things up for you,
Voice over’s - Yes their mouths move when talking
Characters, more computers animated but well done
Music - is themed very well for the game
Graphics, are done very well, clear and easy to see
Overall - As this was my 1 hr trial I rather enjoyed it and for the options within the game I give this a 4!
If you liked search the scene mode simular to panoramic then you will also love "Stroke of Midnight" that is totally Panoramic and does not get you dizzy, I highly recommend you also check that one out!
I give this game my (((Raww)) of approval to purchase!

I totally enjoyed this trial so much I purchased it within the hour of the trial.
This has to be the game of the future with new options in HOS and more, this a must on your list to try.
I previously played a panoramic HOS and I got dizzy but this one is unique and search takes on a new meaning.

The story is about an author needing inspiration for writing a love/romance novel and heads to Eastern Europe to Transylvania. The moment she arrives her novel begins to take shape but not as she expected.
Guys don't be put off by the love/romance part, you certainly don't want to miss out on the whole adventure of how this game is uniquely put together.
For anyone that enjoys HOS and is getting a little bored with the usual or would like to play feeling you are a part of the story line – you are going to enjoy this game!
It might take a little moment to adjust to the scanning/viewing options (up, down, left & right), but before you know it, you begin to feel a part of the game and go into auto mode and that’s when the game takes you into a whole new dimension.
Been to a 3D movie and the camera is hovering along the floor towards something and you feel like your moving, this game does the same and it is done very well (you will enjoy that)

Options - volume= environment, music, windowed mode not available (I have widescreen)
HOS – so different!
Hints - no there are no hints as per other HOS games, this one has the option to select the word item you are having trouble finding and it shows you where it is without the hints re-charging.
Voice over is great!
Inventory – There is none, and this is something else I love about this game. When you find an object within a scene you know it’s not far way to activate it to what is needed. No more running around other scenes so helpful
Novel option - Is available when you have completed the game.
Sound Effects – Super!
Graphics – Beautiful, clear, bright and so crisp!
Mini Games – These are so enjoyable and mirrors assist you with special hints located in the scenes
Click – It will freeze you if you click too fast
Skip Button – yes there is an option if you need it
I am putting this on my favourite game this month
I defiantly give this my (((Rawwww))) of approval!
