This game did not hold my interest. Review based on about two hours game play.
Animation/VOS - Good even for player what there was of it.
IHOS - Lists, silhouettes. The usual fare of clutter.
Hint - Moderate charge. Gives directions and clues.
Misclick Penalty - None
Map - Does transport.
This is about all I could get out of it. Fairy tales really don't interest me.

Ghostly warnings in the water are terrifying a grieving family. What's causing them, and what really happened to Julia White?

Review based on completed game in casual mode.
Animation/VOS - Excellent even for player.
IHOS - Lists. Fairly clearer than most I've played lately. Of course you can depend on small objects. Repeated scenes. You have the option to switch to a jigsaw puzzle.
Hint - Fast charge. Gives clues and directions.
Misclick Penalty - None
Diary - Contains story info and photos.
Map - Does transport. I actually used it a few times.
Shell - Assists you with, what else, water problems. :-D
Inventory - Locks in place. Getting spoiled by this feature, by the way. Objects used quickly in other areas.
Puzzles/Mini-Games - Challenging and unique. I skipped most of them. Didn't have the patience. Fast skip.
Another goodie in the Fear for Sale series so throw the line in and reel it in. Enjoy!!!

Animation/VOS - Excellent! For player as well.
IHOS - Lists. Usual clutter of small objects. Repeated scenes. More of these than puzzles/mini-games.
Misclick Penalty - None
Hint - Fast charge. Gives clues and directions.
Collect life stones and memory discs.
Build An Object - Now this was new for me. Never saw this in any other game I've played. Different and fun. Find silhouette parts to create an object which will go into your inventory.
Puzzles/Mini-Games - Did manage to solve a few. Unusual and challenging. Fast skip.
Inventory - Locks in place. Objects used quickly in other areas.
Journal - Contains sketches and info re: objects found and places visited.
Map - If memory serves, I believe there was one but I used the hint to get me to my destination.

Review based on completed game in casual mode.
Animation - Toymaker only.
VOS - Player and toymaker.
IHOS - As many as you like around every corner. Dark junk piles with small objects. Lists and one silhouette. Repeated scenes.
Misclick Penalty - None
Hint - Fast charge. Gives clues and directions.
Map - Does transport and this time, I used it. Clues are pinned to map to guide you.
Journal - Looked at it once. Contains info re: objects found.
Puzzles/Mini-Games - Not bad but less than the IHOS in numbers. Unique and challenging. Fast skip.
Collect and view toymaker's video tapes.
Adventure fell short of the mark on this one. No other characters to interact with. Just searching the same scenes repeatedly.

Review based on completed game in casual mode.
Animation/VOS - Excellent!!! The way a game should be done. Read and heed, devs!! :-D Lip sync was perfect. Characters were beautifully and realistically drawn. Vo for player.
IHOS - More than puzzles/mini-games. Lists, find X # of same item but not too many of these that I can remember.
Fairly clear scenes but objects were small.
Misclick Penalty - None
Hint - Fast charge. Gives clues and directions. The hint is a total babe. :-D
Inventory - Does not lock in place. Objects used quickly in other areas.
Journal - Never did go into it while playing.
Map - Didn't go into it so I don't know if it did transport or even if there was one.
Puzzles/Mini-Games - Unique and challenging. Solved as few. Moderate skip charge.
Wish all games were designed in this manner. Of course it was my favorite storyline. :-)
I say throw the net in the pond and and bring this one in. You won't be disappointed. Happy gaming!!!

Review based on about 2 hours game play. Another I couldn't sink my teeth into.
Animation/VO - Characters did not move. Cartoonish in style. Vos were okay but not for player. Some text was so small I had to lean close to the screen.
IHOS - Silhouettes, find x # of same items, put objects back in scene. Small objects. Fairly clear.
Misclick Penalty - None
Hint - Fast charge. Gives clues and directions.
Puzzles/Mini-Games - Chose to try at least twice then skipped. Moderate skip charge.
This game did not capture my attention.

Review based on about two hours game play because it was all I could take.
Animation/VOS - None that I could see. No lip sync. No vo for player. Characters were well drawn but did not move.
IHOS - Clear to dark scenes. Very small objects. Lists and fragmented.
Hint - Fast charge. Gives clues and directions.
Misclick Penalty - None
Journal - Contains items found and objectives.
This is about all I got out of it so my review is short.
Very disappointed in this one.

Review based on completed game in casual mode.
Animation/VOS - Excellent! Even vo for player.
IHOS - Clear to darker scenes and small to larger items. Lists, silhouettes. You have a choice of playing Bubble Shooter instead of the IHOS.
Misclick Penaly - None
Hint - Fast charge. Gives direction and clues.
Journal - Contains story, objectives and sketches.
Map - Does transport but as always it's the old hint button for me. :-D
Amulet - Must piece it together with glowing symbols.
Binoculars/Boomerang - These two work together for a while assisting you in locating areas and objects that are too high to reach.
Inventory - Locks in place. Objects used quickly in other areas. Some items are marked with a + and need to be combined with other items.
Puzzles/Mini-Games - Unique and challenging. Did manage to solve a few. Fast skip.
I believe this was the first game I've played that had an Native American theme, a refreshing change of pace.
Great game so throw in the line and reel this one in. Happy gaming!!

Review based on completed game in casual mode, the only way I play. :-D
Animation/VOS - Excellent! Even vo for player!
IHOS - Clear to dark in some scenes and the usual fare of small to larger objects. There are lists, silhouettes and fragments. Certainly much more interaction than other games I've seen. Instead of the IHOS, you have the choice of playing a pair matching game.
Hint - Fast charge, gives directions and clues.
Puzzles/Mini-Games - Unique and challenging. Did manage to solve a few. Fast skip.
Inventory - Locks in place. Items used quickly in other areas.
Misclick Penalty - None
Journal - Contains objectives.
Evidence Board - Prisoner assists with story and items collected. Could have done without the "AAH!" every time a piece of evidence is placed on the board in the correct area.
Map - Does transport but I prefer the hint button.
Enjoyed the mystery and creepiness of it all. As the detective, there will be a lot of traveling from scene to scene. A good pair of running shoes is needed. If you choose to use the map, maybe the shoes won't be necessary.
Loved this game and I hope you will also. Give it a try and happy gaming.

Review based on completed game in casual mode.
Animation (Live Actors?)/VOS - Excellent even for player.
IHOS - Clearer than most I've seen. Easy to see even the small objects. Very unique scenes. Lists and silhouettes but you should see how to get the lists.:-D
Random Click Penalty - None. Well almost. In one scene, vines filled the screen.
Hint - Moderate charge. Gives directions and clues.
Cell Phone - Contains notes, map and objectives.
Puzzles/Mini-Games - Challenging and fun. Even managed to solve a few. Moderate skip.
Gears - She/he is your helper but I won't tell you what Gears looks like. :-D
Forgive me if I seem vague in this review. I had played the game a while ago but forgot to do the review shortly after.
If my memory serves me, this game was extremely enjoyable so throw in the line and reel this one in.
