An interesting game with a variety of things to do.

Based on just the 1hr trial I rated this 4 star for the variety within the game and...
Mini Games, enjoyable very different is rather refreshing to get something unsuual and interesting in the mini games
Graphics - Clear & Clean for a grave yard setting
Hints - Refresh quickly & assist you if the area is clear or needs investigating
Options - adjust the screen, music, cursor, and sound and play mode
Casual or Normal mode
Music - Nice soundtracks & relaxing, does not distract you from the game
Clicking - Yes there is a penalty for fast clicking
HOS- Clean & not too much trouble finding objects or using the interactive items
Overall I believe this would be a good game to play if you don't mind scenes of spiders, bugs, snakes but don't get me wrong, it's not that bad and I hate spides.
Give the trial a go for sure, and you will see it might be worth continuning as you enjoy the mini puzzles & HOS!
I give this my ((Raww)) of approval!
I recommend this game!

A simple game that anyone can enjoy but not that difficult.
You are a detective and you need to help solve a robbery that happend to your girlfriends (Lora's) inheritance. So you are on a mission to explore, search for clues, and solve puzzles.
If you enjoy simple HOS, easy puzzles, and putting things together (with plenty of help along the way) then you will be glad you selected this game.

V/O's - no voice overs only text
Options - Casual & Normal, casual offers quicker hints and sparkle is active, on normal you can opt to remove those sparkles
HOS - clear, bright and not only a list of HO to find but a countdown of how many left to find, which I believe is only useful in spotting the difference
Clicking - yes penality for fast clicking
Music - nice and laid back
Assistance - when investigating you have a notebook which opens and further assistance in what to look for and how to complete the puzzle.
Also, it shows a grab hand on objects you need to collect.

I would recommend to purchase this for beginners or HOS lovers either wanting to get to the next step from HOS to investigations or just a simple relaxing game that won't frustrate you!
Purchase this on special and you have a nice relaxing game for those wet boring days.
I give this one my ((Raww)) of approval

Curst at Twilight – Thief of Souls (CE)
“Amaranth Game” totally super!
“Amaranth Game” totally super!
Map – Love this part, you just click; select the picture location and your there. With this feature you enjoy the game without the frustration of going back and forth !
HOS - Clear, light and easy to find
Other HO items - Amaranth keeps you active while on the scene, with several HO to find - a nice addition.
Options – You can brighten screen which is great! And only full screen available
Graphics – Stunning, great colours and not grainy
Mini Puzzle – Heaps of them very enjoyable and with strategy guide, you can always look for help!
Sparkles - Yes
Music - Is good light and not distracting
Hints – Take about 40sec to re-appear so not too long if you need some assistance.
Clicking – A penalty for fast within the HOS but not when searching for items within the scene
Voice Over’s – Mouth’s don’t move again a shame for a CE
My thoughts at this stage – Yes a must buy on my hit list, If fact, as soon as the trial was over, I purchased it for my collection!
For this CE - I give this the (((((Rawww)))) of approval for purchasing!
Return to the De la Fer estate to help the count unravel the curse that has been passed down through his family!

So enjoyed the Free Trial - Looks like a Super Game!
HOS - Clear, light and easy to find, except the type font they used within the HOS list, I was wondering what a Bammer was and it got me scratching, then I worked it out, was Hammer not Bammer!
Graphics – Beautiful great colours and not grainy
Mini Puzzle – Very enjoyable not overly challenging
Sparkles - Yes
Sound Effects – Love them!
Music - Is good & well balanced throught play & not distracting
Hints – Take about 1 min to re-activate
Clicking – A penalty for too much fast clicking so take it steady and you will get away with it.
Voice Overs – Great to see the V/O’ers brought into this game and mouths do move!
Skip – This takes around 5 min to re-charge which is a shame I prefer them to be readily available.
My thoughts at this stage – Yes a must buy on my hit list, I can’t leave without at least firing that cannon and I need to shoo more of those wolfs (that was pretty cool)
For the free trial - I give this the (((((Rawww)))) of approval for purchasing!
I recommend this game!

I totally enjoyed this game even without voice over’s.
The game developed by; Top Evidence Studio, hats off to you lot!
Sparkles - Yes they appear and towards the end you sort of give thanks they do.
HOS - is clear, not dark, and no magnifying glass to find items (hooray) I really hate HOS in dark rooms trying to find objects that small you need the magnifying glass. Only one thing about the HOS towards the end, and I won't tell you what I thought I want you to experience it and you will understand why - when I say you won't forget that part of this game.
Graphics - Excellent! Again clear, beautiful and well detailed
Mini Puzzle - Heaps of them and not hard to do, and the skip button does not take ages to generate.
Music - so enjoyed
Hints - These refresh in about 1 min
Map - none, but you can use the hints to assist direction
Clicking - no penalty - so go for it!
This is a great game to sit back and get totally involved in.

This was a great game to play. I enjoyed the HOS even if there is a penalty for over clicking but you get over it and the hints reappear very quickly if you need to use them.
Graphics - are awesome, clear and easy to see items.
Voice overs - help in that you don't have to read but the option is there if you prefer, but their mouths don't move which is a shame for a CE, they could have taken it one step further.
Mini Puzzles - heaps of different ones you will enjoy each one of them.
Text hints - just when you wonder where to go, up pops an option to go to the required location, (your choice).
Maps - clearly shows you where you have not been, which helps when you need a bit of guidance.
Time Travel - that I enjoyed where you have the option to travel back to the past to explore and ascertain what took place.
Awards - Yes you will be awarded for not using hints, finding items quickly etc you can build an array of awards. Something different and an extra reason to challenge yourself.
Reason for 5 star - really enjoyed playing this game and solving the case with Sherlock and Watson.
Graphics and light within the game was excellent.
Music was brilliant and the extras are a bonus!!
(((Raw-A-Saurs)))) on this one!
I recommend this game!

I rated this game for the excellent graphics and the variation within their puzzles. Just when you think you have one puzzle to solve, there appears another then another, so if you enjoy solving puzzles you will defiantly enjoy this game. The object of the game is to track down the four elements using HOS with some interaction of parts, multiple puzzles, even if you’re not a puzzle person, you have the Strategy Guide to help you and the hints fill very fast.
The monsters appear during game play kept me alert, shooting them fills your hints and as usual, they appear when you least expect them, but lots of fun getting rid of them.
Graphics super+++, music is good, light aspect of the game is great
(I really hate dark and gravely games) no probs with this one!
The bonus is a nice addition again well developed and maintaining the high standard of graphics.
Overall, I would recommend you purchase this game - don't just think what you have played in the demo is it, there is more ahead when purchasing the full version.

I just loved this game, it keeps you on your toes, is full of many different challenges. Goes from one event to another and keeps the story all connected - So many different games, from hidden items, to cards to spot the differences, to arrange things, and so much more you will find it hard to not like! It has a super adventure tale but I'm not going to spoil the ending by telling you - a game for one or the family to enjoy. Full of fun, sound & visual is good and I rated challenge excellent for all its options. Worth the try and buy!
I recommend this game!
