Bassed on COMPLETED game,...I wish people would review the entire game and not just 20 minutes of demo before they decide to give a bad review. For me this has been theeee ABSOLUTE BEST game I have ever played. I found myself re-reading the notes just to try and follow the story because it was a little weird/different but none the less excellent. The game itself is a little dark which I'm not sure I found to be "too" dark or just added to the thrill of being scary. Nonetheless, excellent detail, excellent graphics. I'm not scared by games that are considered scary at all but this one is definetly not for the weak minded.
I will say this,..it is not a HOG game because they are few and far in between as well as the puzzles. Any puzzles or HOS were great and even they were unique and different from usual. Some took 7 steps to preform before being able to find 1 HOS object. Definite thinking game. This is an adventure game with excellent challenges to figure out. Such as trying to figure out how to unlock a door,..every other game you end up getting a key, but not this one. One other example is to remove a rusty chain,..usually its an axe or file but here you find a piece of worthless sting early on and basically forget you have it in your inventory. Then you come across a candle that one would think would end up being a light source but no,..that later ends up "waxing" the string. As you continue along your journey you come across a useless beach with what appears to be "just" sand,..however, that same ingnored sand ends up being the grit that you rub onto that same old forgotten about string so you can file your way through the chain. I felt like a real McGyver to be honest. Basically everything you come across on your adventure you will eventually use and in the ODDEST of ways sometimes! It is NOT logical by any means and a real thinker. The hint button(which I rarely use,..is now worn out) I am an avid player of many games and found this to definetly worth EVERY penny and then some. A must buy!!!

This was an absolutely awesome game!!! It was fun, adventurous without a whole lot of HOS, so if you want alot of HOS this isn't the game for you. The HOS's that were in the game were spledid, clear and not easy but also not at all difficult. Alot of beautiful, puzzles that weren't extremely mind bending but somewhat challenging and different than the same ol' same ol puzzles. The detail and the graphics were excellent, up to date with multiple places to go and with a lot to do. There were so many different places to visit and within those were even more beautiful scenes. This is not a hand holding game but it does have an effective hint button and the skip button does charge fairly quick. I was very impressed with this game and what it had to offer and is probably one of the best games I have played.
BUT,...I was a little disappointed with the Bonus game. It used alot of the same scenery that was in the initial game. It still had great detail, graphics, story line and challenge. What bothered me was that the story flows and keeps your interest and then all of a sudden,...it's over,..!! This happened in both the game and the bonus game. I found it to be to abrupt of an ending for such a great game!!
I do believe that this is a keeper for all times. 5 STARS

I really enjoyed this game. It kept my interest from the begininng. I'm an intermediate player and found this to be average as far as a challenge. Fairly logical in what comes next but did use the hint button a few times throughout the game. Not a lot of hand holding BUT it is definetly not needed either. Puzzles, finding items to use later type game. Not really for a HARD core player but I personally enjoyed it very much and glad I purchased it as a SE but would not if it were a CE. I would give it a 4.5 if I could.
I recommend this game!

I know this game has rave reviews but I guess it wasn't for me. I found the game to be visually loud and distracting. Not so much in the detail, that was not great, but not bad. I just thought the colors were obnoxious. The constant written narration got on my nerves but you can skip it, you just don't understand the story then. Puzzles were fair and HOS was simple. I deleted this game very quickly. Try the trial before buying!!!
I recommend this game!

This is absolutely the worst game I ever played. Not only constant character navigation but just complete useless navigation all together. I have to be honest, I only played for a little bit, it was just that bad. It didn't make sense, I was constantly running around and got nowhere fast. Graphics were not sharp and not detailed. Very vague imagery. AND THEY WOULDN"T SHUT UP! (No skip button either)
I don't recommend this game.

This game has absolutely beautiful graphics,..colorful, detailed, exciting. Its a fun game heavier on HOS than puzzles but definetly enjoyable. Its a rather logical find you way kind of a game,... I haven't used any hints. If your a hardcore player you might be bored mentally but not visually.
I recommend this game!

I played 10 minutes of the trial and deleted it!I found this game to be very dull. Graphics were lousy.Seemed blurry and minimal art detail.You have no idea what your looking for so you just end up click happy on everything in the room, and then you find out, Oh yeah, I needed that too. The puzzles were fairly easy. Just not for me,..not even at $2.99
I don't recommend this game.
