Madame Fate is back from the Great beyond!
This game was so amazing, it was how Madame Fate should have been. This really went into her story. I really thought that the first Madame Fate was repetitive & really boring & lacked depth. This one really explored all the characters and Madame Fate. I loved the connection with Ravenhearst as well as some game play associated with Ravenhearst. In this amazing journey CE edition you get the main game, a lengthy bonus chapter and a secret room.

Isis is Madame Fates beautiful feline familiar whom joins you on the quest and aids to fetch items & you collect hidden pounds to buy ornaments, potions etc to adorn her home.
You get "The Black Diary" which is a book of clues and notes and other hidden locations to explore.
You collect hidden morphing bobbing head dollies throughout the game & hidden morphing cards in HOPS. The HOPS are great with many mini puzzles inside them.
The mini games are also great & have a resemblance to the ones in the first installment. But they are way better.
You will find references to other MCF games throughout the game.
There is a game of solitaire which is separate from the game and you can play it anytime. It has the collected cards in it which have the detailed illustrations of the main characters of the game on them.
This is how Madame Fate should have been!
Get it now..you won't be disappointed!
Madame Fate sees all!
I recommend this game!
The rich folklore continues with this exciting tale set in an old Slavic land. As Child of Spring, can you save the world from eternal winter?

I found it really cheesy and too short. The Winter Queen should have had more power!! It was sad to see the ice go, as being a Winter lover it was very sissy. If there was no spring there would be no summer, yay!! But alas sun bullies win to easily, could have been a bit more of a challenge.
The game is 1.33G but to me it seemed no more than a smaller game. It did not go long and the bonus chapter I finished in no time.
Maybe I was expecting more from it, as in this size game there are usually more details and they go longer.
I think this is suited to children more so anyway.

I totally loved this game in all aspects. It has everything in it that a good game should. It was stepping into a new era of games in this genre that is well over due.
I love the vibrant 3D graphics that jump out of the screen and feel like they are touching you. The soundtrack is very complimenting, with the HOP having really soothing music to concentrate with rather than turning the volume off.

There are four game play difficulties which is a new concept.
Hidden acorns to find and collect throughout the main game play. Then they go onto a tree lock, that is in the lower screen to tap on them to place them on the tree.
You gain a pet hamster that is added to your inventory, you then give him a name and he will perform tasks throughout the game.
The map is excellent. You can hover over a location, then click it to be transported to that scene. It highlights where tasks need to be done.
The diary is really done well with illustrations and text & it has a to do list featured in it.
There are many achievements to be earned. That you can tap on the icon to see where your at with them.
In the bonus chapter there are morphing objects to be found.
The Big Bads at the end of the main game and the bonus chapters are really challenging and fun.
I also liked the mini movies that are also puzzles in the game there where several of them. This is a new twist I haven't come across before.
Great mini puzzles. The HOP where different than the usual too. They had tasks to perform in them, and I'm not talking like picking up an umbrella handle to complete the umbrella, they where great!
The inventory had many tasks to put items together to create another etc.
Storyline was excellent, & the CE was more than just wallpapers and pics. There is a scene called 'The Old Lady' where you need to collect all the acorns in the main game to create a lock. Then you click on it to find another bonus chapter. I missed out on one acorn so it was locked. But when replay it I will get them all!!
Please get this CE game now. I guarantee you will love it as I do.
Enjoy!
I recommend this game!
When the entire audience disappears from a film screening at an old theater, you must go behind the scenes to find out who is running the mysterious Nightmare Cinema.

I loved the second game in this series ("McInroy Manor") and they just get better. I haven't played the first one yet.
The storyline of this is brilliant. You are the detective working for 'Fear For Sale" magazine investigating the disappearance of people gone missing in an old cinema. Which turns out to be a porthole to the demon dimension.
There are a couple other portholes inside the porthole in the guise of novels which was a good twist.
Lots of great mini games and hidden object plays. With a good challenge.
You have several collections of items to find throughout the game like Runes, Cakes, Origami, Toy Soldiers etc.
There is also heaps of morphing objects to find, so a lot going on at once.
The game and the bonus chapter go on for a good period of time. You have an interactive map which is great to teleport to another scene and hinting with exclamation marks where there is something to do.
The diary is good and you get a score of points for items collected.
You can do a jigsaw as an alternative to the HOS if you want to.
Great voice overs and amazing graphics.

When I first saw the preview video for this game I was a bit uncertain that it would be good as I thought it was going to have a lot of annoying 'real people' in it like the old man in the chair. However I was somewhat intrigued so I bought it.
I was way wrong. This turned out to be a fantastic game! I love games that have snow and icy scenes in them but that was just a part of the journey I was taken on in this brilliant game. I am a huge fan of Nordic sagas, Gods & Goddesses, etc and the portrayal of the Goddess Hel was very good here.
I loved the raven that gets added to the inventory to aid you to acquire many objects throughout the game.
The mini games where good and not over hard or annoying, the HOS where also good and not too many of them like some games.
There where hidden goblins to find, The Book of Fire that you match cut outs to images where great.
The interactive map was great.

All the graphics where excellent and great soundtrack.
The bonus chapter was also great. Where you have the Raven assistant and Hel's loyal familiar Garm both added to the inventory to perform more tasks and obtain items for you.
There was so much to do and it was fun!!
I wont give anymore away get it now!!
This is now my favorite game:)
I recommend this game!

Just finished this game. I must say I was way disappointed. It dragged out to long. I saw the map at first and it had many interesting locations on it but you only get to go to a few of them. I thought it was very childish like cartoon. Storyline like LOTR theme. Characters looked silly and where annoying. There are no HOS just fragment find to create an object which where too hard and had to use the hint button as some items didn't even look like the ones you had to find. There was too many of these and they became a chore not fun. Random clicks helped, then the pointer bursts into flames for a few seconds!!
When doing a mini game you can't access the strategy guide and if you need to look at it you have to click the back button and access it which wipes your progress in the mini game which automatically resets.
The bonus chapter in the CE sends you 500 years into the past to revisit the same scenes doing some of the same puzzles as in the start.
I don't recommend this game.
A mysterious man in red summons you, sending you to a flying ship where a little girl needs your help!

I found that some of the puzzles where annoying and I had to skip a few. There is no strategy guide or walkthrough available which I found annoying. A CE may be better. I thought the characters where interesting and should have been vocalized. I was not aware that this was a sequel game till later.
I liked the joining two items in the inventory in the box. This is a different twist.
The castle was great and had many areas to explore. At first when I was on the Flying Ship level it seemed to go on a bit & I was thinking that you would get to the castle fight the villain and it would end, but I was wrong it actually went on for a good length for a standard game.
I love games with a Snowy Winter theme so that sold me anyway!
Try it!!
I recommend this game!

After purchasing two new release games recently that where utter rubbish I came across this one which restored my faith that there are still good games slowly coming out. I loved it from the start. Great art work, storyline, characters, soundtrack. The HOS where good. Puzzles where challenging but not ridiculously too hard. I really got into the story. The bonus chapter was equally as good as it continued on the story. Unlike some CE going off on another path.
I am wary of purchasing CE games as some are rubbish but this is great!

I have just finished it and I loved it. Very challenging mini games, great soundtrack, awesome graphics, jam packed HOS..
I was somewhat surpirised at the length of the game for not being a CE. I thought it was going to end on several occaisons, but another chapter would open again & again!!
It quite felt like a dream with very twisted graphics but done very stylishly.
I really loved the many Fairy Tale themes & I was glad to see it was not completley childish like some dead beat games I been getting latley.
I have not played the first one in this series, but I can't wait to check it out.
Get It NoW!!

I only had to play about 6 mins and I hated it. The motion sickness factor was horrid. In the wright up it said this was a "Dark Horror" well yes the graphics are so dull and dark its hard to see. The cursor fist thing was annoying and the 360dg rotation was way to fast and out of control.
There is no clues or anything and I just stumbled accross the right click being the activation for the collected objects.
The writing was small and cheap and nasty looking.
I am a old veteran at HOG games and I gotta say this is the worst I come accross.
Take my advice and forget this loser of a 'game'..
