I could hardly make it through about half the demo before I got too sick to continue. What a truely awful game! I did manage to get some chuckles from the corny dialog. The whole premise of the game is poor and is over dramatized to the extreme. The artwork is average as are the HOS, which do have an annoying aspect of hidden areas. I think this could be on my list of worst games ever.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoyed playing this game. Unlike some games where it seems the developers want to make it near impossible to figure out what to do, this game is more straightforward. The HOS are good, but they do have an anti-random-clicking feature in that the list refills after an item is found. Didn't bother me, but it might some. The production is good (artwork, etc.) except for the old time scary music in the background. I found this to be a relaxing game that I highly recommend.
I recommend this game!

This is one of the better BF games I've played. The production is excellent - good artwork, pleasing musical background, and both live and animated characters. The game design couldn't be better. There is an informative map, the HINT button works well during gameplay and it recharges fast. The running back and forth is minimal. The HOS are very well done with some IA, and there is an option to play a game instead of the HOS. The puzzles aren't too difficult. The story was well thought out, too. This is a very enjoyable game!
I recommend this game!

While this is a well developed game, I found it to be a real drag to play. Lots of back and forth with little rhyme or reason. A good in-play HINT button is the only thing that saved me from this agony. The HOS are OK, but they have some tiny, well-hiden objects to annoy one. The puzzles are sometimes difficult with a saving grace of a fast SKIP button. The story is lame at best with an awful, abrupt ending. I thought maybe the bonus chapter would help resolve the ending, but, alas, it was dumber than the main story. I sure feel that I wasted good $ on this dog.
I don't recommend this game.

I would have rated this five stars except for some annoying aspects showing a lack of attention to detail by the developers. The map is kind of hit and miss regarding showing where there is action required - sometimes it shows correctly and other times it just shows the same old info regardless of where you are in the game. It's basically useless. The HOS are OK except for the interactive objects which are not all that obvious, and sometimes the cursor shows a hand indicating an interactive object when it is just a normal object.
The puzzles were good and not too difficult like some. I thought the story was good and interesting. The music was average. The artwork was very good with good VO.
I recommend this game!

The HINT button doesn't work during gameplay and there isn't a map. I found this to be OK at first until the number of scenes multiplied. Then, unless you have a great memory or take copius notes, it's difficult to figure out what to do next which is usually many scenes away from where you are and then it's many scenes away from where you find an object to where it's needed. Placement of objects needed is not intuitive either - half an oar in a birdcage! To avoid clicking around, I had to use the SG.
The HOS are good, the artwork is good and the music has a catchy tune that I liked but grew tired of hearing after the 1000th time. The story is poor and confusing. The extra chapter is OK but not worth the CE price. The SG isn't the best, telling you where to go but not how the get there at times. There are so many scenes that remembering where everything is is difficult especially if you don't finish the game in one sitting.
I don't recommend paying for the CE version, but maybe the SE.
I don't recommend this game.

Not a great game, but one that is fun to play. The HOS and puzzles are good. The production is well done - artwork, story, music, etc. There is a fair amount of back-and-forth, but not so much that you get lost - there isn't a map. The HINT button and diary are mostly useless during gameplay. One annoying thing is the ghosts who appear in some scenes every time you go there. Once would have been more than enough.
I recommend this game!

This game could have been much better if the developers had paid attention to some details. For instance, the diary shows things that haven't happened yet. Most of the HOS are interactive and not all that intuitive - very frustrating. The HINT button is especially bad, sometimes pointing to somewhere off screen. The puzzles are sometimes very difficult, and the SKIP button is slow to charge. Gameplay, for the most part is good and fairly linear. The story is OK; strange but not any more so than others. If you can get by this and the anoying "only in the movies" when you make a mistake, I recommend the game.

I don't usually like this kind of game - true love will save the world (violins, please.) This game was well-designed, though, with little interference from the story. The artwork is top-notch with good VO. The HOS are mostly interactive, which are not my favorite, but these were well done. The HINT button is slow to charge and gives minimal info during gameplay. There isn't a map, but one is not needed as there is no loooong back-and-forth as in some games. The puzzles vary between easy to difficult with a slow charging SKIP button. All-in-all, this is a very enjoyable game.
I recommend this game!

Cute - that's the most positive thing I can write about this game. I only played the demo, but even it was too long for me - boring story, boring everything. Some apparently like it, so I suggest trying the demo before purchasing.
I don't recommend this game.
