Visually not that appealing - basic cartoon drawing.
Storyline OK - looking for a lost brother in Egypt.
Turn the sound down as the music can be annoying.
This is a very frustrating game .
HOS has very small items to find so you need to use hints regularly - hint is slow to fill.
Each scene has bonus items - bits of these items are extremely difficult to find.
The mini-games are rotate pictures, jigsaw puzzles etc and are not that challenging.
Despite a tutorial this game is sadly lacking in instructions.
You spent alot of your time just clicking on everything in sight.

I finished the trial but won't be going back.

This is a fun match 3 game with a few puzzles/HOS thrown in.
Good graphics and the storyline is engaging enough.
The Match 3 games are not overly challenging.
Enough hints if required.

I only played this game for the trial period and while I am recommending it, this is not a game I will add to my collection.

Not my usual type of game but thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Good graphics and the background music is nicely understated.
HOS items can be a bit small to find but unlimited hints helped (filled reasonably quickly as well).
The puzzles get harder towards the end and some don't have instructions (not a problem for experienced gamers as they are mostly intuitive - journal gives some guidance too).
Tips: keep referring to your map and journal - very helpful.
Don't forget you have spells and potions to use also.

I read all the reviews and thought great and the game started off well.Then the disappointment we went from VO text at the beginning (I don't like games with a lot of reading) and after the intro it went downhill fast.
So much back and forth text with the characters and thats just after the entrance to the castle.

10 minutes of this was enough for me - the HOS and puzzles might be good but the game didn't grab me enough at the beginning to find out.
I don't recommend this game.

Pretty inane storyline.
Graphics Ok and the HOS were relatively simple.
Any puzzles, if you could call them that, were pretty simple or the instructions gave it away.
Help was not that helpful and took a while to fill.

Not my cup of tea - gave up after 20 minutes.

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!.
Intriguing story and a good mixture of logic, mathematical, jigsaw and spot the difference puzzles (some easy/some hard).
Kept me enthralled for hours.
Make sure you take advantage of playing YoX whenever you can - the extra hint coins are needed.
Always look for coins in each scene (either a glint or use your torch/metal detector).
You will have to back track alot to find all the totem challenges in each chapter.
This is just a puzzle game so if you are looking for more you might find this game a bit boring.

A different style of vampire game - love story with a female human.
The graphics, music and storyline are good.
The first few HOS and puzzles are pretty easy (the instructions tell you what to do) but they get harder and more interesting as the story progressed.
I really liked finding the ingredients for the "witches" soup and making it.
Make sure you look for the gold leaves in each scene - some are hard to find.
I was so enthralled with the game that the trial period flew by.

Quite a different game with a mixture of graphics and video.
A very suspenseful start with where is /what happend to Bobby?
Great locations and totally engrossing.
For once a game that doesn't have tiny objects to find (loved that one) - not too challenging.
Lots of hints (if needed) and the mini-games/puzzles are moderately challenging.
Sound is good without the annoying background music.
Do not forget to collect the red flowers for bonus mini-games.
A very enjoyable trial period - will probably buy this one.

Good graphics and an interesting storyline.
Loved the country music at the start.
The main character has a very dry/sarcastic sense of humour with some witty comments.
Puzzles challening but not impossible to solve.
Some of the objects in the HOS are a bit small but hints are useful.
Interaction with characters is good especially seeing the dialogue is spoken (not so much reading in this one).
Overall a fun and different twist on vampire games.

If you are a sudoku fan you will love this game.
Combines astrology, jigsaws, pattern making and sudoku number games.
Not big on graphics but not really needed here.
Two levels of play - adventure (unlocking chest keys to the astrolab) or classic (120 each of the four different puzzle types).
Nice quiet/ethereal music in the background.
Hints available and a function to check if numbers are in the correct position (very useful).
Later level puzzles can be quite hard (if you like that sort of thing the brain will be really challenged).
