Sometimes the usual storm can change lives of many people, and that happened with guests of Hollow Oak Estate in Dark Canvas 3: A Murder Exposed! When you were driving to the estate, invited as the wedding photographer on the wedding of Carol Whittle and Frank Gelson to enlighten wedding ceremony, you saw how someone changed the sign into “Horror Oak”. Then the storm damaged communications and the whole wedding was left in the darkness, without connections with outer world – it’s year 1955 and no mobile phone has been invented yet. And when you see a shadowy figure outside the house, you understood that something is really wrong… face the danger for your life and life of everyone else in the house in this all-over-the-place Adventure Puzzle Hidden Object Game! The story begins to draw you in as soon as you find the body in the 'dumb waiter' of the house. Reviewer's have already touched on music "which I thought was okay" and the camera with which you photograph clue's for later use in the 'extras' section of the game. I was happy to use the map included in this edition because you travel all over that house gathering inventory clues, puzzles, and HOS to discover the killer. This may not be my favorite edition of the Dark Canvas trilogy but it ranks! The bonus game is short but interesting. Demo this one, I think fans will appreciate this one, and if you haven't played previous ones this is a good place to begin.
I recommend this game!

You began your investigation quest to stop a maniac's murderous trail of Fragrance and Deceit in [Scent of Desire]. Then you traveled to Rome to catch a villain who robs Nobles of their jewelry using it to steal victims body parts, eyes, and hair in order to take on the physical traits of His victims in [The Face of Envy]. Now Blam! Games has prepared a new and wonderful surprise for you – the continuation of European Mystery series 3: Flowers of Death Collector’s Edition. In this edition you will have to explore the most beautiful city of Netherlands! You were sent there because of the strange plant attacks (yes, not the animal attacks – these attackers are primal predatory plants attacking people of the Netherlands and sucking out their life. Moreover, these dangerous examples of flora are spreading toxic pollen around them, so the police can’t even examine the bodies – it’s year 1788 and first primitive respirator was invented in year 1799! Now find a way to crack this case without being poisoned yourself. These are illegal flowering plants sold only on the black market to business associates who are dropping like flies. When you meet the florist in town he tells you the previous florist is dead but offers no additional details. Its up to you to deduce the various suspects and apprehend the villain in this sly reality of European Mystery. You will be totally captivated by the vivid graphics and glorious animation. Including special jobs, heaps of locations and tributes, and a superb plot sure to please players of all levels from opening to denouement.
I can't rave enough about this edition. It has all the usual cool CE bling and a awesome bonus game [not relative to the main story]. Demo this for yourself and take advantage of the sale.

This edition is an incredible improvement from Redemption Cemetery 6 The Island of The Lost launched back in March of 2015. Travel back in time and restore peace on the subway station which they decided to build instead of the Asylum’s cemetery in Redemption Cemetery 7: Clock of Fate from ERS Games Studios! You were rushing to the last train at West Park Subway Station, which was going to arrive in 3 minutes, when you heard a strange voice. It said “Let’s begin!” These words changed your life forever – in a blink of an eye you found yourself in year 1949, trapped onto the closed station! Station’s construction was frozen after workers had found the old cemetery of St. Peter’s Asylum, situated in place where a Subway Station is going to be. Ravaging graves workers initiated the wrath of the spirits. Five of the builders died in the result, one wasn’t found. Now personnel were evacuated and you’re all alone, surrounded by the ghosts of the madmen! Your destiny is to survive this endless underground night and change events or Death will claim your soul. I was extremely impressed with the Visuals, the Voice acting, and the brain bending strategy it took to complete this latest installment. So much detail and effort has gone into this release and I think fans of the series are going to appreciate Redemption Cemetery once again for the bone chilling cult classic it has become. I am a huge fan of the franchise and this exceeded my expectations. If you demo the game, chances are you'll end up purchasing. The storyline draws you in one cliff hanger after another!!!

What begins as an investigation of an unusual murder suddenly turns into something much more sinister in Chimeras 2: The Signs of Prophecy Collector’s Edition Game. The latest masterpiece of Elephant Games!!! [I love this developer] When an unexpected solar eclipse covers the streets of Munich with darkness, doom arrives and it looks like it isn’t going to end any time soon! You are called there to investigate the murder of Julia Mobius and find out, that she was killed in a desperate attempt to prevent a beast’s awakening. His name is Wanderer and he can destroy the entire city! Julia was one of four keepers of the prophecy concerning his arrival, and her murderer leaves a carving “Burn, traitor” near her burned body. According to the prophecy he has a great power. This power may be used towards creation or destruction, and YOU will inflict his choice. You are intertwined with the Wanderer by the thread of Fate, at least that’s what Prophecy foretold. There were four Keepers of the Prophecy - Julia Mobius, Sebastian Mayer, Walter Lucien and Max Langen. Maybe one of the other three killed Julia because she was trying to change fate? Put your mind to the test in this brain bender and find out why Julia betrayed the other prophecy keepers in this dramatic Adventure Puzzle Hidden Object! I found this story incredible, I just couldn't stop playing. Excellent graphics, voice overs, and perplexing puzzles and inventory use kept me going hours and hours. Demo this for yourself and decide. I think most will be really surprised by this continuing saga....

Wow! This conclusion to the epic Eipix series Off The Record deserves a thundering round of applause. The Final Interview proves to be the greatest scam in the history of Horse Racing. You play the role of Investigator Mrs. Dunn who suffers from amnesia but must restore your memory in order to help the Reedley family. When you learn that a kidnapping has taken place the race against the clock begins and the plot thickens. Find out how Calvin Reedley really acquired his wealth and why he divorced the mother of his only child Sarah. Who's been trying to poison Mr. Reedley and why? You encounter a host of eccentric characters all potential suspects. Someone's going to pay for all this...and it's up to you to discover who...
This series has had an incredible run and I highly recommend all the installments. Eipix and Big Fish will continue 'Creating Worlds' as the saying goes, I look forward to their next endeavor with anticipation!

It rarely happens for me to care so much about characters and especially their love stories when playing a hidden object game, but somehow Nevertales: Legends managed to hit the right chord in my soul and I absolutely loved it! The game tells the story of true, real love, love that gets bigger than tradition, war, love that changes the world. And eventually, love that forces you to get out of your comfort zone, put away your delicate Queenie shoes and hop onto the ride of your lifetime: the adventure to save your beloved husband and the entire kingdom. Nevertales: Legends throws you straight into a spider’s web of love and hope, of wisdom and strength, of trust and treachery, of overcoming your fears. It rarely happens for a game to develop the story as much as this one does and even fewer manage to make you care, really care about the outcome of your adventure, about its characters and the fantasy world you’re exploring.
But fortunately it doesn’t focus on creating the story and background and ignores gameplay. On the contrary – the hidden object scenes you’ll encounter are charming and well done, there are Morphing Objects for you, as well as different approaches – from interactive list finds to using flowers to draw in butterflies hidden throughout the scenes. The minigames are well made as well, varying in difficulty and getting slightly more difficult to complete as you progress through the game – and depending on your skills, some will really test your ability to stay calm and power not to click that skip button! And talking about a “Skip” button – there are different difficulty levels you can choose from (Seeker, Adventurer, Trailblazer and Custom) as well as a ton of goodies to make a Collector’s Edition a worthwhile purchase: Achievements, which also come with a nice approach being divided based on the difficulty to get them (don’t forget, if you are an Achievement Hunter, you MUST play and complete the Demo first before purchasing the game), collectibles that unlock a new chapter, replayable hidden object scenes and mini games, strategy guide, wallpapers and so on. Good value for the extra money you’d spend – not to mention the Morphing objects! The bottom left of the game has a collectible icon showing you have found all in the medallions in a scene. You’ll get a Map from the beginning, as well as Hank the companion: your husband’s brother, who has the ability to morph into a Crow and get into the most difficult to get to places. You also have the Ring of Fire that protects you from fire-related dangers and gives you some new strengths that will prove extremely useful throughout your adventure – one that carries you to different amazing places.
The graphics are crystal clear – without having to do anything with the curse in the game’s story – and the artwork is extremely charming. The animations are great too and there will be some really nice surprises waiting for you along the way. The sound and soundtrack manage to add value to the whole product, the result being an exceptional love story adventure, one that you will love. At least I did and I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Save the parents of your niece Jackie who died 20 years ago in Grim Tales 9: Threads of Destiny PC Game! Alexander and Natalia Gray went missing on April 23, about 20 years ago now. They’re survived by their daughter, Jackie. The story begins at the police station where you learn that the Gray’s car was found in the woods close to town. Now only remains were found and using their personal belongings you can travel back in time and save them from the Greg Duffy, a serial killer known also as the Roadside Killer. You can save them, but what if their death is connected with their miraculous escape of death year before, when they missed the exploded plane by seconds. Maybe Duffy is connected with that catastrophe, or there’s something even more sinister? FATE played by the ghostly woman ATROPOS tries every trick in the book to stop your mission and defeating her is yet another exciting challenge. This is the 9th installment of Grim Tales series from Elephant Games, where your objective is to find and identify the murderer of the Grays traveling back in time to change life threatening events. This is a great edition to the Grim Tales Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure series. The adventure isn't very lengthy. I finished the main game and bonus chapter in less than 3 hours, usually this series offers 6-8 hours of gameplay. Never the less it is a complex murder mystery and with the addition of collection character coins you get info on all the Gray family members going all the way back to the first installment of the franchise. I will continue to purchase into this series as long as Big Fish and Elephant continue releasing them!
