I have played all the Delicious games including the ones set in the same world like Cathy's Crafts etc. and I have loved them all. This is the first Delicious game that I have not loved. I liked it, but I did not love it. There's no way to adjust the difficulty settings. I had liked that they had the settings ranging from easy to hard. That's gone now. The daily mini game is rather tedious. The game is slow to respond sometimes when you click on items which is frustrating when doing the mini games within the level or doing a mini game challenge level. The animation seems oddly different as well. I did like the story which is one of the big reasons I play the Delicious games. I like the stories and the characters a lot. I just wish the game play and overall design for this had been better. I liked the game, but I did not love it.
I don't recommend this game.

I've played all the previous Delicious games and I enjoyed every single one of them, so when I saw that there was a new one I bought it immediately. It was so much fun and here were the familiar characters I knew and loved as well as some interesting new ones. The mini challenges were fun to play and the main challenges in each level were great too. I loved the story and the ending made me smile. Overall, a fun time management game and another great Delicious game.
This is the first HOG where I found I could not stand at all. The premise was interesting, but the execution was lacking. There are some odd translation issues, where sentences didn't make sense. Quite often it wasn't really obvious what you were looking for in a hidden object scene and I found myself using the hint button a lot. The game was set to casual and the hint button took forever to reload. Sometimes the load times were poor. The story for me dragged a little and some of the tasks felt quite tedious. And while I know it's supposed to be spooky, it was always too dark to find things even after I adjusted the settings. I found myself frustrated and just gritted my teeth and played through to the end so I could just be done with it. There are other HOG titles that are better than this one. They really shouldn't have released this one until all these issues were addressed. Definitely skip it, not worth the time or frustration.
I really liked Wonder Wedding, so I bought the other Delicious games Big Fish had. I played this one next and it did not disappoint. This is another favorite because it was fun to play, the story was interesting, and the graphic design is nice. I enjoyed playing it and getting all the collectibles. I hope Big Fish adds more time management games like this one, because they are fun to play.
I have played the other Echoes of the Past games and really enjoyed them so I was excited to play this one. That excitement turned into regret after playing for an hour. The story doesn't really seem to fit in with the other games. There's also the factor of how frustrating some of the puzzles and hidden object scenes were and this was with the strategy guide since I bought the collector's edition. I played through until the end because I at least wanted to finish it. This is the first time I've been disappointed with a game on here. It wasn't fun and the story was odd. You're better off skipping this one because it's not good at all.
I played the trial of this and liked it so much that I bought the game. This was a lot of fun to play and the characters were cute. I also liked the story because it was sweet and Emily and Patrick are adorable. The mini challenges were fun to play as well. Fun and great time management game; I want to play the other games in this series too.
This was an interesting take on an actual historical figure and I really enjoyed the story because it was well thought out and it was a real vampire story. The visual quality and sound quality were excellent as well as the voice acting. I played the collector's edition and it was well worth it. The guide was concise and helpful. Overall, this was a lot of fun for me to play and I ended up playing it in one sitting. Great game!
I was delighted to see a new time management game. I played the trial first and found that it was so much fun I bought the game. The graphics are crisp and the game runs quite smoothly. The objectives are clear and you can see clearly which customers have the most patience. Overall quite a fun time management game to play and one I will be playing through again because it was very well done and enjoyable to play.

This is definitely for mature audiences as they said. It's a very well done game and it is scary, I found myself jumping several times while playing this game. The story is interesting and the atmosphere did feel quite spooky. I wish it hadn't ended on a cliffhanger, but that just shows how much fun it was for me to play and that I really got into the story. I look forward to playing the sequel when it comes out!

I played the first Grave Mania and loved it, so as soon as I saw the sequel I bought it. It's even better than the first one. With all the mini game challenges added and a good story, this game was so much fun to play. I enjoy Time Management games and this one is a definite favorite.
