This is the craziest, whackiest looniest game of solitaire I have ever played. The music is zany, crazy, upbeat, and fun.
The graphics are festive, with a doctor who looks like a clown, examining patients with a chainsaw for brain, bone, and blood disorders.

It's a lot of fun but because it is dark themed I would not recommend it for children. It's just got a creepy feel to it.
I recommend this game!

This is a cute time management game based on the
building of the Empire State in NYC. The characters
are fun, the graphics are bright and beautiful, the music
is inspirational, like something from a gladiator movie.

The levels get faster, a little harder, and a lot more
complicated as the game progresses.
If you like Match 3s this one promises to be hours

The visuals in this game are beautiful, with beautifully muted tones and bright bold colors. The voiceovers were great. The soundtrack was blah and boring, something to listen to if you have trouble sleeping.
There is an interactive map with teleportation to save the player a lot of "legwork".
The storyline was great: the first scene is a dream? memory? vision? of a slasher. The game showed a lot of promise but then if was painfully slow. There was so much handholding it wasn't even fun to play. There was no suspense, no angst, nothing I like in a game of this sort.
The only fun I had in this game was in a hidden object scene where I had to make a sausage pizza by putting the sausage on a cutting board and slicing it with a knife. It was the only time I got to use my brain.
It's a no buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

If you love puzzles you will love this game. There is one puzzle after another, there is not much for hidden object
lovers but there is plenty for the puzzler to engage in:
secret locks, water fountains, portrait puzzles, you name it.

The game had a good soundtrack and excellent voiceovers, in addition to an interactive map, but that's about all it had going for it.
The graphics were lackluster, which added to the boredom in this slow moving game.

The hidden object scenes were interactive but too simplistic. The mini-puzzles were pretty lame. There was nothing to them. Like the whole game, there just wasn't anything of substance there.
There is nothing in the game to justify a CE price. I'll try the SE when it comes out, but this game practically put me to sleep. There is just nothing there.
It's a shame because the storyline had a lot of potential: a young woman searching for the mother who abandoned her as an infant.
I don't recommend this game.
You thought this would be just like any other investigation. But now you find yourself lost in a mysterious mansion brimming with strange creatures, comatose colleagues, and mysterious tentacles around every corner...

From the first cut scene and beyond the creep factor was 110%. Unfortunately in the beginning of the game there was a noticeable cheese factor also. The psychiatrist's address is 5 Cuckoo Lane? Seriously? And the police detective shows up with a box of donuts and a cup of coffee? Seriously?
The music/soundtrack is great. The voiceovers are not bad. The graphics are not the way I like them, they were a little lackluster in some places, but it did not detract from gameplay.
There are several animals and animal helpers in this game: flamingos, a champagne drinking frog, a little penguin cutout, a bird in a nest, a crab that helps you cut things, a hamster in a birdcage, a cat sleeping on a cushioned couch and a little mouse assistant. They are all a lot of fun and enhance the game.
The storyline is excellent if you like dark and creepies as much as I do. Hidden object scenes are different and interactive, a little on the easy side. Mini puzzles were pretty challenging.
I really enjoyed this game. It's a buy for me.
I recommend this game!
This was supposed to be the happiest day of your life. But instead of walking down the aisle, you're in another dimension, battling a mad inventor to save your family!

The story begins with the mother of the groom being poisoned and it gets creepier from there. The storyline
is great with time portals, underground and secret labs,
moving bookshelves and a host of scientific forumulas
that the player has to figure out. It kept me really busy.

There is a helper dragonfly that you can call up to get rid
of noxious and poisonous gases. You know if it is a great
game when there is a helper animal, or even and insect,
in it to help you.

lackluster so I didn't even try them.

This game had a lot of promise as the storyline was excellent, but then as the adventure went on it became
boring and moved extremely slowly, not just because of
the lag between scenes but because there were too many
things ancillary to the storyline to make it interesting.
It was all over the place.
The visuals were lacking, as was the soundtrack.
The voiceovers, with the character's lips moving well
after speech had concluded, were laughable.
