Downloaded to fast, the game is great in every way but,sound. The text windows annoy me I assumed voice ( my fault ) big red arrows pointed in each direction has alway bugged me last, when you have a area option it doesn't pop up you , you have to go to it and half the time when you click on it it doesn't even let you know if it's part of the game play but when you go back again it is part of the game. Idea is great.
I am not a Christmas game person but , I have to say LOVE this. Multi interacting characters .Great graphic Scenes . Like cats but no to big on Bonus Game.
So far this game has been what I have been waiting for. Voices not text, Ghosts that are Cool, a demon or evil ghost that doesn't look like its made by a child. But, WHY do so many ( as I call ) eerie games have child like mini games in the midst of all this FUN?
I didn't have as much character inner action as I liked but I did enjoy the game. There are 2 facts that bothered me one, the map would point out active when the areas where done ( or I couldn't have finished the game ) ha! two like a lot of games I get no warning of morphing objects or collectibles till i hit on them. That bugs me because I don't like missing on any part of the game and get to ticked to go back threw. lol
I tried 3 x the only way it would even run was in window mode. I have( windows 8) thought that would be a sure No Problem.When I did chose to play it looked like my kind of game but, I do not like text in bubbles I prefer characters do the talking and not having the bubble take up so much of the screen. I will say yes to recommend because I didn't play the whole game so I have No right to choose NO. Enjoy
It isn't my usual game a little kiddy but looked like a laugh. I assumed the characters would talk not the pop up window text that is annoying to me. Also the fact that u have to go back and forth back and forth to get info from a character.You never know how many times u have to try a character before it is actually going to answer. Just tried wouldn't purchase but maybe kid's would.The opinion is for me not u.
I don't like games with people in them but, I needed a New game so chanced it. Sorry do not like it, graphic is good idea is cool . Though not much inner action leaves you just moving and clicking played it for 2 nights both times got bored doesn't keep my interest. Thats one persons opinion .
I don't recommend this game.

A little Light - Bright for me as well as flat characters. The idea is good possibly for children but not for me.

It may just be me but, i don't like timers, i prefer to come and go without timer timing me. I also don't get that constant morphing in the hidden objects that really bugs me, otherwise not a bad game.
I'm not one for the undead (tiresome - overdone) but, do to not having anything New of my taste I downloaded it. I fell for the graphic + 40 areas. Yet the game is half is plain for kid's hidden objects aren't always what it is . The areas of use have NO actions as to what is what or if, you can merge two things together. I spent more time getting tennis elbow from clicking and clicking everywhere to see what was or wasn't a useful area or hope to find an item. After 1/2 hr just gave up all i got out of that game was a SORE WRIST from all the clicking. P.S. I'm not big on the constant music that these games have so I turn it down to 1 without that it was mostly silent and dull, No voice's to even try to add some sort of interest. Sorry i purchased it though i'm sure kids would likely enjoy it.
