This game started very good and very atmospheric as you come to expect from the Phantasmat series, with good (for a Epix game) graphics and nice sounds. Also the voice actng was good. And the first 1 mingame was good, but the next one; the Token/Horns minigame, where you have to move tokens around and place them in different spots was unfortunately close to be impossible (or maybe it is impossible) because i skipped. INCREIDBLY annoying, that when exchange tokes, and there is one free room, it does not just place one of the tokens in the freespot, but removes the other one also, therefor making this minigame unecessarily tedious and close to be impossible, unfortunately the next one isn't better, it's just unplayable in another way; the flipper machine minigame. I click on the correct time, when the ball come down, but the ball just passes down and out, so I have to restart, eventhough i did what i should. After that I quit the game, because this is just appaling. So I don't recommend this game.
Unfortunately this game was around 60 % to short, and more like an extended demo. Even with the bonus game, it was NOT as long as an normal casual game. EXTREMELY dissapointing, since the gameplay was surprisingly good and diverse. Everything but the length of the game was superb, but with this super short game, I cannot rate it more than 2 out 5. And was more of an extended demo. I sincearly hope, there will be (WAY) more gameplay time the next time, otherwise I'll not be buying more games in this series, unfortunately.
Sorry, but for me this game is unplayable, due to the FIRST minigame; the appalling Owl minigame, which is in the horrible "trial'n'error" categori, where it's PURE guesswork regarding solving. And that's simply put stupid. Unfortunately, i had encouontered the same, stupid type, of minigame (clock puzzle) in Elephant Games last game, "Grim Tales: Graywitch Collectors Edition". And that was ALSO in the beginning of the game. Horrible, and it makes me look stupid, eventhough it's the minigame which is at fault here. And I do not skip games this early. Too bad because it seemed pretty good, in all other regards.
Best by far thus far. Cannot believe some of the reviews here. If you liked the series, you'll love this one. Very good, if a tad, easy and diverse minigames. Great graphics and story line. Exellent voice overs. And VERY atmospheric.
Pros: Very diverse and exiting minigames Exellent Graphics and sound Sublime Voiceovers
Cons: Maybe some a wee bit easy minigames. But besides that nothing.
Conclusion: One of the best casual games I have played thus far. In a all-time top 10, in my opinion.
Everything about is exellent. The gameplay, with it's very diverse minigames, which is neither to easy or to hard, and often also developed version of old types of mingames, and very fun to play. The graphics is very well done to. The voice acting is quite good to if not exellent. The only slightly annoying thing is, that it can be hard to find the collectables. But all-in-all a superb addition to the series, if not the best.
Quite a suprise, very diverse minigames, and a good storyline, a bit different than the other Ravnehearst games, but that's a good thing, because it still links very well to the games. The gfx, I'm a bit on the fence about, seeing that the real actors in the old ravenhearst games instantly got you in to the atmosphere, but not a big problem. All-in-all an superb game, and the best from Eipix by far.
Firstly, the cut scenes are hilariously badly designed, the voiceovers are bad; badly played and the dialog unlogical, the graphics is dated, and storyline,well I never get to played very long, because it was so tedious. VERY dissapointing.
This totally lives up to previous games in the series. With nice new mingames, which are new to me. The story line was exellent. Maybe the gfx was not all that revolutionary, but still good enough. Noting to dissapoint you, if you liked the previous games in the series. All-in-All a must buy for fans of the series.
I recommend this game!

Shadow Wolf Mysteries: Tracks of Terror Collector's Edition
Can werewolves be cured, or will one family’s curse continue?
Impressive how ERS games keeps improving and adding new features to their games. This game no exeption, many diverse minigames and a dark storyline. Very nice.
This game have most of features of other solitaire games, power ups bonus and such, and is quite the looker, but it (very) quickly gets old, because, if you restart a level, it's completely the same cards you se on the the screen. And that's very bad in my book, since it's then very hard to reply a level if you only got 2 stars (of 3). Could have been a contender.
