After the last Grim Tales I hoped this one would be better, but unfortunately not. Its still got the same arrows at the side of the screen that are so annoying. I felt like it was all too much hard work and realised that I didnt really care if Ms Gray did murder someone.
Just wasted a boring 60 minutes. Hope this is the last Grim Tales.
I don't recommend this game.

Ive never been a fan of Haunted Legends, dont like that creepy man, he really puts me off.
I thought id try the demo which I completed still with 45 minutes left! Thought it was too easy and didnt like the story line.
Please devs give us a good, long, original game.
I don't recommend this game.

I hope this game gets better because I thought the demo was boring. Making boats and planes, screwing things together, not my kind of fun.
I didnt like the medallion or whatever it was, its just a gimmick and we didnt need it.
The first two games in this series are very good but this one has sunk for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I was looking forward to this game as loved the last instalment.
The demo was so short its hard to tell what the rest of the game might be like. The map didnt work right, I kept pressing on where I wanted to jump to but it didnt take me there, so annoying.
Nothing new in the storyline, another portal. The game was also a bit glitchy, I had to press on items in the hops several times. No buy for me and what happened to the morphing objects?
I don't recommend this game.

I read all the reviews for this game and was expecting a lot. I was dissapointed in what I found. The demo only lasted 45 mins for me and one reviewer says the game is short.
The hops were not anything new and this storyline has been used before. Not a bad game but didnt stand up to the hype for me personally.
I don't recommend this game.

I am half way through this game and am really enjoying it.
I like the heroine, and think the troll and other characters are well thought out. The voiceovers are also good.
The hops are different so keep your interest. A really good effort from the dev, more please!
I recommend this game!

I was so excited when I saw a new Mystery Tracker game. The graphics are good and thats about all I like about it.
Elelephant Games has done the same with this game as Dire Grove and Grim Tales, by the questions and evidence device.
I hate this type of questioning and it is so boring and time consuming. I just want to get on with the game.
Also I dont like the arrows on the edge of each scene, which was also done in Grim Tales last game. The devs are ruining the games. This game isnt in the same league as some of the earlier mystery trackers. Not a buy, surprisingly! for me.
I don't recommend this game.

The beta testers must have been testing a different game than the one I played.
Same old tired storyline. No proper collectables or morphing objects. This series needs putting to bed. I wouldnt waste my hard earned money,
I don't recommend this game.

I wanted to like this game as havnt bought any games this year, as just havnt clicked with any. I like the hos and the hamster is a cute idea.
I didnt like, yet again, to be looking for gears etc. I wish devs would come up with some new ideas for the inventory stuff. Its nearly always the same old things, and I am getting bored of it all. Finished the demo and it was ok but not good enough for me to buy it.
I recommend this game!
