Get rid of the computer minigames and go back to Ravenhearst type of games. This is a big disappointment. I have to agree with several of previous comments. New developers just don't have the imagination and skill as the older game developers.
Another disappointing Mystery Case File. Thes have always been my favorite games, but they have gotten worse over the last few years. Developers have lost the ability to do the challenging minigames that were so much fun. All of the Ravenhearst series, Fates Carnival, etc. This one had too many make a path or follow the trail. I got so tired of them I skipped them. I keep re-playing my old games.
I've always looked forward to Mystery Case File games because they were challenging and fun, but this one is a disappointment. Nothing but HOP after HOP after HOP with a few super puzzles thrown in. The super puzzles are not as good as they used to be. They have been dumbed down like the rest of Big Fish Games where there is not challenge. Sad very sad
As most of the games coming out the creators have no creativity. Slow moving, same old puzzles and mini games. Nothing challenging. Too much with the cell phone and screens to show something else in pictures.

For me it was boring. I didn't finish the demo because it was too many HOS. I like puzzles included. The graphics and sound was good. If you like nothing but HOS it is OK.

I found this to be a surprisingly good game and not as easy as I thought it would be. There was a lot of back and forth. Nice for a rainly afternoon. Definitely worth buying and perfect for those coupons I have to use.

I was extremely dissapointed in the game. Don't know what has happened to the creators their games used to be great. You spend all your time going back and forth to the fortune teller for silly drawings that are difficult to see and didn't see the point of them. You can't skip her annoying dialog and I didn't like that. After a while I couldn't remember what the point of the game was. Boring and slow. Couldn't see all the inventory items had to keep rolling them around.

This game is a big stinker. The Ravenhurst series and Dire Grove were excellent. I was also disappointed in 13 Skulls, but nothing like this one. I have always anxiously awaited MCF games, but no more. I see previous reviewers have so well stated how I feel about this game. I also had the problem of the inventory not all showing on screen only 3 and I had to keep scrolling it to see all items. Maybe this has something to do with my computer, but I have never had this problem before. The only reason I went ahead and bought it was the sale which allowed me to buy several other better CE for half price. I hope the MCF people can get back on track.
I didn't pay much attention to the lost husband plot which has been done many times, but I found the games and puzzles very intertaining. Different twist on HOS. Not so many boring ones, but item association instead which sometimes really made me think how does this work. Just when I would think it would be over another area opened up. I usually get bored before it's over, but I didn't with this one I enjoyed all of it.
