Gravely Silent: House of Deadlock is a hidden object adventure game. The story line has you trying to help your sister, who married a very bad man.
The hidden object scenes were mostly interactive. The graphics and music in this game were nice. However, this game has more bugs, spiders, snakes, bats and rats than any other game I've played as of yet. If creepy-crawly things bother you, you definitely will want to play the demo before buying. That said, I found the puzzles interesting, as well as the way the game progressed.
There are two difficulty settings for this game. I played on the casual setting, and it took me nearly four hours to complete the game.
I recommend this game!

Margrave: The Curse of the Severed Heart is a hidden object adventure game. The plot has you playing Edwina Margrave, a woman searching for clues as to what happened to her dead parents, and the legend of something called the Severed Heart.
The graphics are lovely, drawn scenes. The music was very nice. The voice acting was okay, but got on my nerves at times, because the main character talks quite a bit when you are just clicking around. There are two difficulty settings for this game. I played on the harder setting. The puzzles were enjoyable, none were too difficult. Some of the hidden object scenes were repetitive, and some of the items were tough to spot.
The game took me three hours to complete, playing slowly. That includes the time I got lost because I overlooked the path to a new area. If I hadn't gotten lost, it would have taken me less time to finish. Still, it was a nice game that I definitely enjoyed playing.
I recommend this game!

Youda Sushi chef is a time management cooking game, where you play a restaurant owner serving up numerous sushi dishes to hungry patrons. Each level has you working at one of your restaurants, where you can make improvements, and learn new dishes.
I must say, this is one addictive game. It's not very difficult if your memory for sushi recipes is good. But it is still challenging because it becomes more difficult as time moves on. The restaurants are nice, the upgrades are nice, and the music is very good. If you enjoy time management games, this one is worth a look!

The Keepers: Lost Progeny Collector's Edition is a hidden object adventure game. The storyline centers around you finding out what happened to your family in a town that's been taken over by evil. The premise is creepy, and the game lives up to it. The graphics, music and voice acting are all done very well in this game. There were a couple of moments when I even gasped in surprise or got goosebumps from this game.
There are three difficulty levels. I played on the middle level. The puzzles were interesting, and some were very challenging. The game length was about average for this type of game. There are two bonus chapters. Each bonus chapter took me about 45 minutes to solve. The bonus chapters aren't necessary to the main story, which is complete on its own, but they are related to it. There is also a helpful strategy guide, music tracks, and wallpaper with the collector's edition.
I really liked the sound effects of this game. I played part of it with headphones on, and it sounded wonderful. Overall, I enjoyed this game a lot, and can recommend it very highly to those who enjoy the dark, creepy story lines. The game left itself open to a sequel, and I'll definitely be buying that when it comes out.
I recommend this game!

Midnight Mysteries 3: Devil on the Mississippi Collector's Edition is a great hidden object adventure game. The plot has you again playing the writer/detective with an affinity towards helping famous ghosts set right their afterlife. This time, you are helping Mark Twain. I found the story to be very interesting.
I really enjoyed this game. I loved the graphics, music, cut scenes and game play. Everything was top-notch. There are achievements in the game for attaining different goals. There is a bonus chapter, a bone-collecting game, and unlimited hidden object mode.
The puzzles were creative in this game, which is hard to find after playing so many of this type. The main game took me about 3 hours, 15 minutes to complete. The bonus game took me 45 minutes to finish. The game would be complete without the bonus chapter, but it does add to the story. Overall, this game is definitely worth trying. I certainly enjoyed it!

Lost Souls: Enchanted paintings is a hidden object adventure game. The story has you playing the mother of a little boy who has been stolen into a painting by an evil warlock, then the painting is torn and dispersed into other paintings. You go around the different paintings to restore the portrait of your son. Each painting is a unique world.
I really liked this game. The graphics are beautiful, the hidden object scenes were fun, there were coins to collect along the way, which you can use to buy trophies. Each scene has a map that tells you how many objectives need to be completed for each area on the map, and you can jump around easily using the map.
I thought the music was not very good, although it was somewhat relaxing. There are two difficulties for this game; I played on the harder difficulty. The puzzles were very easy, although some of them were quite fun anyway. The game was about average length for a game of this type. The ending was abrupt. Apparently, the Collector's Edition has what would be the final painting for the game. Even with that shortcoming, I enjoyed the game immensely.
I recommend this game!

Shadow Wolf Mysteries: Curse of the Full Moon is a hidden object adventure game. The plot has you playing the detective who has come to investigate a series of murders in a town, that the townspeople claim were committed by a werewolf.
The creepy graphics were nice for this game, well-drawn, but not the best I've seen. The voice acting was good except for one character (the fortune teller) who was pretty awful. The music was nice. It's the same music ERS Game Studios has used in other games they made, so it will be quite familiar to those of us who own several of their games. I found some of the puzzles to be more challenging in this game than in other games by the developer.
There are two difficulty modes, and I played in the harder mode. The game took me around 3 1/2 hours to finish. The ending was rather abrupt. All-in-all, I enjoyed it.
I recommend this game!

Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen Collector's Edition is the third game in the Dark Parables series. I have the other two and was very much looking forward to this one. I was planning to hold out and buy the standard edition, but I decided to go for the collector's version.
This is a fragmented hidden object game, just like the other two Dark Parables games. The story line this time has you playing the fairy tale detective again, but this time you are sent to save the children from the Snow Queen. I just love the fairy tale games, so the story is a winner for me.
The graphics are very beautiful, the music is great, and the voice acting is good. Just like the other games, there are "cursed" items that you find to shorten the time the hint button reloads. The fragmented objects can, at times, be hard to find, but typically, I find them faster than a standard hidden object game. The puzzles were pretty good. Some of them were very easy, and some of them were reused more than I would have liked. But some of the puzzles were creative and required a little bit of extra thought.
This game differs from the other two in that there are three levels of difficulty available from the get-go. (In the earlier games, you had to complete it on regular mode to unlock hard mode.) The earlier games had a bonus item that could only be used on a second play-through on hard level. This game didn't have that extra item. But, I thought it was a longer game than the other two. I finished in a little over three hours, not including the CE bonus game. (The bonus game took me around forty-five minutes to finish.)
The bonus content of the game was nice, but the game would certainly be complete without it. There are extra puzzles, wallpaper, the bonus story of Hansel and Gretel, music files, a strategy guide, and concept art available in the collector's edition.
I really liked this game. I can't wait for the next one to come out!
I recommend this game!

Nightfall Mysteries: Asylum Conspiracy is a hidden object adventure game. The story has you playing a character that goes to an abandoned asylum on an island to locate your grandfather.
The graphics of this game are very eerie and creepy. The hidden object scenes and puzzles were fun. The voice acting was good. The characters were rather strange, but they are supposed to be strange.
Length for me was average. I finished in just over three hours. I liked it well enough I'm going to check out the next game in this series.

Macabre Mysteries: Curse of the Nightingale is a very enjoyable fragmented hidden object game. The story revolves around an old theater, and the people that once lived and worked there.
The graphics are just beautiful, and the voice acting was well-played. The storyline was interesting. There were a few hidden object scenes where you find the item by the drawing, and the rest were fragmented objects. The puzzles were fun, but a couple of kinds they used too many times for my taste. A minor complaint, as the game was so good overall. I like the morphing objects. There's twenty of them, and each one you find reduces the time for the hint button to charge. Which is very nice because some of those fragmented objects are very hard to find, indeed!
The length was nice. It took me just over four hours to finish. I was very pleased with this game. If you like fragmented object games, this is a great one to try!
I recommend this game!
