This game strikes me as an old one that was pulled from the archives. Lots of bouncing around from one location to another, used a lot of hints because the arrow doesn't even change to let you know when something can be used. Overall colorless and lack luster. Even on sale, it isn't worth the money!
Looks to me like this was shelved at some point and for lack of anything to release, they pulled this one out. I hated it. Graphics are okay, but any dialogue is choppy. Hints take forever to recharge, The storyline is ho-hum. Definite no-buy for me!
I've been playing games online for years and consider myself to be an experienced player. This game made no sense to me at all. Click on a place, pic zooms, press a button, move a lever -- nothing! Click the hint button, tells you to go some place, go there -- nothing. Conversation with neighbor was meaningless. I don't like a game that has me bouncing from one thing to another with no apparent rhyme or reason. I hated this game!
I really hated this game. After three scenes of just moving things out of the way, I had my doubts. After using hint after hint to bounce from one location to another, sometimes to set one item down with no results, I was done. No common sense went into this, just how many moves do we have to make to achieve absolutely nothing? I won't be buying this one.......
This game is HORRIBLE. Graphics are cartoon-like, HOP's are no challenge, you have to buy hints, navigation is lousy. I think this is a very old game that was pulled out for lack of anything else. I couldn't even finish the demo.
I don't recommend this game.

Maze: Subject 360 Collector's Edition
From the makers of the Rite of Passage series comes a ground-breaking new series that's as creepy as it gets.
I just can't agree with all the positives given to this game. I played the demo, but wanted to quit. I found progress to be slow, and don't like when you can't get out of/skip a dull scene. The game was dark, more depressing than scary. I won't be buying this one, and I can't recommend it.

Beyond: Light Advent Collector's Edition
Beyond the sky lies a thrilling adventure... and a deadly threat!
This game is not my cup of tea. There's a lot of dialogue that can't be skipped, so things move slowly. HO scenes are very busy, which makes finding objects a bit of a challenge, but not necessarily in a good way. Overall, I don't find this game to be clever or visually attractive, so I don't plant to buy it.
I don't recommend this game.

Shrouded Tales: Revenge of Shadows Collector's Edition
Adventure into the unknown to save a city from evil!
I have to disagree with other, positive reviews. I found no challenge in this game. The graphics were only so-so, the storyline was a complete yawn. I played the demo for awhile, and quit. This looks like an older game that was brought out to fill a gap. Too bad, so sad -- this one's not for me!
I don't recommend this game.

I Know a Tale
Discover and collect all of the videos to uncover the collector’s mystical story!
This is based on the demo. Or part of it, since I quit. I found this game to be less than fun. I have a pet peeve about English language, and the English in this game was HORRIBLE! The monologue was boring, and you couldn't skip it. Then I had to trace six pieces of a Phoenix to cut them out. I thought the top of my head would blow right off. Tracing? Really? But the kicker was when I tried to put the pieces together and the game wouldn't work. Pieces wouldn't turn. I had to quit. Just couldn't take any more. I'm not buying this one. I play games to relax. For enjoyment. This game offered neither!
