I'm so happy about this game, really different, It had that whole "Silent Hill- The Room" feel to the game where something scary can happen at any moment, and it does. :) The sound effects are chilling and unsettling, adding to the atmosphere making you feel like you want to just flee as fast as you can. The game can be super hard at times but well worth the effort if you're perceptive enough. I love the game.
Just as the disclaimer says, in real life, you get no hints. So if you were trapped in a locked room for real, how would you get out? Think of it that way.
Certainly one of the scariest games I've ever played, More games like this with the "Silent Hill" feel would be welcome in my book because I love to be scared :)
I recommend this game, but only for those with nerves of steel and a pretty high I.Q.

I have to say, that this ranks right up there with My Singing Monsters as far as excellent quality and gameplay goes. The storyline is compelling. Princess Sophia leaves you in charge of the kingdom while she chases after her nemesis. The world is really expansive, So vast that I wanted to see more. The hidden object scenes were challenging. I love the Squabble pet :) as a hint finder. The music is very well done, giving the whole game an RPG feel to it. (and I love RPGs). I guess you could call this Awakening Online. This is the first game besides MSM that kept me glued to my computer, So I will be playing this game quite a bit. :) I can't wait to see what other regions and HO scenes there are and if any more can be added in the future.
Just a quick note: People, you don't "BUY" this game, it's a FREE DOWNLOAD. You only "buy into" the game for getting store items such as Crystals, etc. to help speed up things.

I love building games and design. This is not a bad game at all. I know it's is the early stages of development so there should be game improvements in the future. Will have to keep an eye on this one and see what comes next. The gameplay is not complicated by any means and is easy to understand.
The only con with this game is the sharing by E-mail. No no no! I never give out my E-mail to anyone I don't know. It would be easier if we shared via facebook and twitter like many other apps. I do like the notifications we get when the game is not running telling us when things are ready. Now if only farm up could do the same thing so I don't have to come back to dead plants lol :)
Like I said, it's early in the game stages, lots of ways for the game to be improved, so I will be following it to see how things get better. So don't slide it off the table just yet.
Like all FTP games, the possibilities are endless.

I've been waiting to see if they would make another one after the third one.
The fourth installment is really well done and even has a storyline with voice narration this time. The quicker you finish a level, the more coins to use in the shop you get according to bronze, silver, or gold time. some of the old powerups from 3 are there, but there are new ones as well. There are new tasks given in each level such as dropping gold down to the bottom and other things too. You have to buid a pyramid structure and it's all done in 3D graphics, The music swept me away as did the storyline and the graphics are beautifully done, especially during the cutscenes. the only gripe and it's not really a bad gripe, is the loading bar is a little slow between scenes and on startup.
This one's a keeper for me. If you like this series, the fourth will not disappoint.

This is the most riveting and unusual game I've seen in a while :) The goal is simple, make your own monster band. Since I have been a musician for 30+ years, this is right up my alley. Each monster has it's own musical part. drums, singing, other percussion parts and so on. Put them all together and you get a really big jam session. :) You can buy diamonds to help speed things up or you can save your hard earned money and just buy the mini-mine with gold. There are other islands with different songs but I haven't gotten that far yet. It took me two hours just to pry myself away from this game when I first played. You can breed monsters to try to get monsters that were only available to buy with diamonds. lots of goals to achieve as in most FTP games. the monsters are cute and the art is well done. the music can get a little annoying if you listen to it for an hour but all in all, I didn't mind because I was looking forward to the next monster musical part to hear what it sounds like.
This is the best FTP game so far.

This is one of those games that I think the kids are a little "too old" for. Very easy, no challenge at all. The only thing good about this game was the graphic art. I found myself bored after only 10 minutes into the demo then deleted it. Not even a good way to pass the time.
I don't recommend this game.

Another stupid hidden object attempt. will this ever end? Graphics poor, music poor, gameplay horrible, storyline, insanely absurd. I couldn't hate this game more if I tried. >:(

The first Nightmare of the deep was excellent, This new installment does even better taking it to the "Wow amazing!" level. This time around, The museum curator opens a box containing an artifact on arrival only to be mugged by fish-men and having it taken away. The graphics and music are excellent but for me, the sound effects make the game. The storyline is non-stop action, just the way I love it. A little later in the game, you have to free a siren named Calliope (Aww I felt so bad for her.) The hint button is very helpful, The HOS are interactive instead of just plucking junk from a pile. This is an epic adventure/HO game with all the bells and whistles. Some of it is a little scary but not quite as scary as the NOTD cursed heart. But still. where it lacks in spookiness is made up for in spades with awesome cut scenes, Great storyline, and lots of puzzles. This sequel is one that does not disappoint. I'm really looking forward to the next NOTD installment. The devs took their time with this one and it pays off. Hats off guys and girls for making a series that could be on par with the dark parables series.
I recommend this game!

Since I am a Bejeweled fan, I thought would try it out.. Much to my surprise. It was a little different than your average match three. You have to destroy so many gems of each color listed in the bottom task bar. The graphics are very nice. The music is orchestrated instead of the spacey music found in most M3s.
The power ups are awesome and each planet has a different challenge. Timed mode was challenging to earn trophies and stars on and there are over 1000 levels. Certainly a buy for me.

I had this game for a while and it has one of the best poker engines I've seen. Love the character voiceovers. The announcer sounds like Tim Allen lol :) the card play can be tricky if you're not a good poker player but i am a good player, I can see through the little trip ups the other players try to do with their card hands and can often win most of the tournaments,
The game also has a little real estate and money management going on with banks, Etc. having to wear different colored hats to enter some tournaments was a new twist. so over all this is a really fun game Even if you are not good at poker, there are things in the game to help you with your poker style. you can be a tight or an aggressive player, but don't be too aggressive or you will lose. it's all about keeping your cool and a lot of luck. so give this game a try if you are interested in poker, you will have fun.
