Love the games that come from these developers and this new one is just as good. I like that it is story driven and that from the start you find yourself wondering if the madman might just be Professor Child who brought you to Cannon Rock in the first place. There is a good mix in the types of puzzles in the game and lots to do that I like. Hope everyone will give the game a chance for themselves and not reject it just because of a review.
I recommend this game!

I am so pleased to see another installment of this series. Like the others it has something to please just about anyone.
There is a good story, adventure, hidden objects to find and hard but not too hard mini puzzles to solve. Excellent graphics and many different kinds of scenes to visit and explore. If you try this one and like you will most likely enjoy the first two of this series. Just don't let the first puzzle put you off just think it thru and you'll find you have solved it before you know it (or follow the walkthrough that BF has provided for us). Happy gaming!

It is true there are alot of ho scenes for those who love this type of game. But, the story is very good and for those like me who like adventure it still works. The graphics are excellent and the game flows very smoothly and logiclly. Over all I think just about anyone will find something to like about this game.
I recommend this game!

This game really has something for everyone and the developers went out of their way to include a variety of puzzles for us to enjoy. For me it was a added plus that you can choose to do the HO puzzle or Mahjong-nice touch. The story makes you want to know what is going to happen next. I think if you give it a try you will want it.

I was so happy to have the story continue on and hope the developers do more of this series. If you did not try the first one you might want to give it a try. It will give you a idea how this game is laid out. The graphics are perfect and I am so glad they made this a continueing story that picks up where the other one left off. I think almost everyone will find something to like about this game.

I loved City of fog and hoped the developers would continue with another game.This one answers the question I had when the first one was over about where the darkness went since it was not destroyed only driven out. Now the story continues in a new place. This one is as well done both in story and graphics.If you like a good story,adventure and mystery you will love this game. If you have not played City of Fog check it out.

Like their other games you have to really explore each scene completly. The other thing to remember is to think out of the box such as when you need a screwdriver think of what else could be used. I have 3 of their games and find this latest to be just as well done. Hope people will give it a try even if there is only a hint button on the HO puzzles because you do get help from the map and the task list.

This is a really well done game. Right from the start you wonder just who Monica can really trust,if anyone. The graphics are some of the best I have seen so far. An added plus is although it is not a CE game it comes with a guide and very helpful map. I was already on Chapter 3 before I looked down and saw the guide. There is something for everyone in this game.
I recommend this game!

I really liked both the story and the puzzles unlike all the other people who reviewed the game and hated it. I love these old time settings based loosely on history. After reading the reviews which are nice to have I would suggest you give it a try for yourself. You may find you like it too.

I do not understand the bad reviews this game got. I liked it and found that it gave you lots of different kinds of puzzles to solve and a lot of things to do. I lliked the graphics as well as the storyline. It is worth trying for yourself before judging it as a bad game.
