I have tried 3 times to play this game and just cannot. It is like wading through mud, in January, in the northeast. There is nothing here that is keeping my attention. The gameplay is so easy it's just silly. Sadly, I purchased the CE without trying the game first. I thought it was my mood or my thinking on those 3 tries. Bottom line, I just don't like it. Not a thing about it. It bothers me to leave a game unplayed so I'll probably try a 4th time. Perhaps I need a martini first :)
I don't recommend this game.

I do realize this is an older game ... 2016. I usually love the older games as many of them were awesome. This one misses the mark by a mile. I literally forced myself to finish the game. Thank goodness I did not buy the collectors edition. Awful colors. Awful storyline. Awful puzzles and HOS. Awful voice overs. I'm assuming this series is now retired, which is probably a good thing. I played a flop in this series yesterday. Yes, the games are that short. I don't recommend.

I'm beginning to think I'm playing a different game than the other reviewers. I absolutely disliked this game. I had a lot of tech issues with it, but this is not the place to discuss those. I tried and tried to get into the game, and I just could not. This didn't hold my interest at all. Very easy game. A bit on the longer side compared to other games I've played recently. I personally do not like the HOS when you use the object you find in the HOS. There were a few of those. I found the puzzles to be confusing as well as the directions for the puzzles. I do not recommend this game at all.

This is def. the worst Chimeras game I have played and I have played them all I still have no idea what the point of the story was. Story was beyond ludicrous. Game play was all over the place. No cohesion at all. Please play the demo first if you're looking at older games. This one was a dud and it was extremely short.
I don't recommend this game.

I really like this series, however, the developers need to spiff it up a bit. Elephant is making their games so short, I feel like I'm just enjoying the game and ... poof... it ends. Thus the 3 stars. I loved the story line and it could have been developed so much further. Good mix of HOS and puzzles. Interesting game play. Way too short. Bonus chapter was super short. I'd recommend the SE and save your money. I will recommend this game, but keep in mind that it's short and doesn't really get into the story before it ends.
I recommend this game!

I'm not seeing what most reviewers are seeing in this game. Way too much back and forth, even with a great hint system and a jump map. The story is constantly interrupted with a HOS or a puzzle. No explanation as to why they all have masks or why they have a reunion. This is nothing like the original Phantasmat. That game had substance and you were immersed in the game. This one uses pure shock value and that's about all. I did not care for it at all.
I don't recommend this game.
In this hidden object murder mystery, a single page from a journal leads a woman down a dangerous path of deception to track down a murderer.

I've had this game quite a while and just played it. It is a very very short game. 2-3 hours tops. However, it's a great little SE. It is a whodunit and kept my attention the entire game. Puzzles and HOS are evenly spaced. Not top heavy on either one. Puzzles were pretty easy to medium. I only skipped a few and that's saying something as I do not like puzzles. You do get a custom setting which is nice. If you haven't tried it, grab it with a coupon for that bonus punch. I recommend it highly.
I recommend this game!

I was really looking forward to the Christmas game by Domini. I do like the games they put out I consider their Christmas game a special occasion game and I expect it to be fantastic. I found this game lacking in every area. It dragged on and on and on without reason. Music was almost non existent. The story line was dull. A doll trying to make her way back to a girl who loves her as a Christmas present but first we must do 1000 inane things. I recently was back in the old Christmas games playing some of them and they were so special and magical. This didn't have that feeling at all. I'm being generous with the 3 star rating because I know a lot of work goes into these games. However, it was not my cup of Christmas.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm about half way through the game and I am simply bored with it. This has to be the worst Christmas Story game that Elephant has released. We have goblins and the evil sorceress and it doesn't quite all mesh together. There are so many Christmas themes to explore, and they chose a missing mother. The once a year games (Halloween and Christmas) I expect the best of the best, and I'm simply not seeing it here. I'm finding it tedious. Not to sound like a grinch, but this is not putting me higher in the Christmas spirit category at all.
I don't recommend this game.

Not sure about this game. Was very confusing to me. It's really hard to see what you need and what it is you need to do. I think there are just too many things around that need to wait for you to have enough resources. Everything was very small and game play was boring IMO. I'm going to pass on this one. Waiting for a great TM game !
I don't recommend this game.
