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!

I found this game to be very slow. I didnt get into the storyline and didnt take to the characters. Think this is a poor sequel.
Boring, didnt even finish the demo.
Come on devs, I havnt liked a new game for ages. Bring back games like the original Dire Grove, the first few Dark Parables by Blue Tea, the first few Spirits of Mystery. Please!
I don't recommend this game.

Wanted to like this game as there hasnt been any good Collectors Editions out lately.
Thought the story line was morbid, didnt like the background noise of the crowd scenes, which I know I can turn off. Not a very uplifting game.
Please bring back proper hidden object games like the original Dire Grove, the first few Grim Tales, the first few Spirits of Mystery.
I don't recommend this game.

I was so excited when I saw a new MCF game and Dire Grove, which was my favourite.
I think its a good game but very run of the mill, nothing like the original. It seemed a bit been there done that sort of game. I havnt bothered to buy it and will probably wait for the SE. Bring back games like the original Dire Grove please Big Fish
I recommend this game!

I always look forward to seeing a Dark Parables game and was going to buy this one without doing the demo. So glad I didnt. Why have Blue Tea teamed with Eipix, who have so many games of their own coming out its almost too much.
This game seemed to be about finding stuff, picking it up and then putting it down in a different place. None of the magic of the other Blue Tea games. What a shame.
I don't recommend this game.

I liked the story and think this game is worth looking at and playing the demo, and I bet you will like it.
It is light hearted fun. Thought the graphics were really good and its a bright colourful game. I enjoyed it!

This storyline has been done to death, and much better.
This is not a CE game. The graphics were poor and the map and hint button not much better.
Its annoying to have to collect the music sheets, and put the codes in all the time.
Disappointed, always look forward to thursdays game but couldnt even finish the demo.
I don't recommend this game.

I loved the last Myths of the World but just couldnt get into this game. I didnt think it flowed well and that the graphics were grainy. Vampire games have been done to death!
Just found that this game irritated me and I found it hard to finish the demo. In fact when the demo finished I was relieved.
Disappointed.

What a boring game. The worst ers game I have every played. I want games that take me to another world. This game thinks its clever by rewriting history. Stick to fairytales.
I don't recommend this game.
