I enjoyed the game. Occult, Voodoo, Potions and ghosts who made poor choices needing to be set free from their earthly roaming always makes for a good story.
The hidden object scenes were challenging and even though I was driven to using an occasional hint I enjoyed.
Thanks for a good game!
I recommend this game!

I had a great time playing this game. I chose to play the Expert mode and I am sure seasoned players of this type game would add more pleasure to their gaming by choosing this mode.
The Journal was interesting and I went back before games end and reread.
The hidden object scenes were easy making them fast to clear so one could return to using the given inventory item. Puzzles were about my speed not so difficult that they caused me to hit the Skip button.
The concept art to final graphic's was very good.
Thanks to the entire team -- you did good!
I recommend this game!

I downloaded the game thinking it was not going to be a good game but I must say I was wrong. Long game with much to do. I was impressed with the art work.
I enjoyed and if you choose to play you will not be disappointed.
I recommend this game!

I chose to play in hard mode yet developers chose to tell me what to do. We seasoned players are not simpletons. I do not enjoy games that do not use one's screen at its fullest.
I don't recommend this game.

This game offers continuous challenge. There is a slew of locations and yes map users it offers an easy way to switch locations. I like sloshing about lost at times while I try and remember where to use an object that I serendipitously find. The HOG scenes are very good.
Many games of late seem to fall apart close to the end but not this game, true all the way to the end. Many games have fantastic artwork, and this game is no exception, but what stands out in this game is simply that the creative team has made great use of each scene they wasted no opportunities to enhance play.
I played in Advance mode, Hard mode would have been very difficult first time around.
Good work everyone and I thank you for an excellent play.
I recommend this game!

Well, I wasn't expecting a game that was so easy but that is what I experienced. I have all the Maestro's games and I honestly felt that the prior games offered more.
I do not want to miss lead the game was good but I was just expecting a great finale.
BTW the artwork was more than great.
Just a nit -- one of the HOG scenes had Comb in the inventory list but it was a brush that cleared the Comb from the list.
I recommend this game!

Why 5 stars cause I had a great time playing this game. I chose not to use the map instead opting to run around and find my own way. It allowed me to not only enjoy the game for a longer period of time but to also to stretch my brain a little. The HOG scenes were a tad easy, found objects quickly.
I love a good story and this offered one. I think we will see that wicked blood sucking women again.
I recommend this game!

I love a good story that contains a dark side.
HOG scenes were great and puzzles doable and I like puzzles that are not to challenging. I do enjoy a challenging HOG.
I suppose in the process of joining a story with the hunt, find and use that defines a hidden object game there exist a fine line of to much vs. to little. As of late, not just this game but others, it seems there are missed opportunities for a more complex experience for the player. While I do not enjoy overly complex puzzles I do enjoy a more complex seek, find and use objects.
Good work on creativity, programming, QA, artwork and final production. Appreciate a number of hours of enjoyment.
I recommend this game!

No need I suppose for yet another review but what the heck I will give one anyway.
I am amazed at the creativity. The entire team must have had the same nightmare and then before awakening the nightmare righted and the dream turned to a magnificent fairyland.
Well for now anyway but Extractor is still looming and I am sure will return.
Good work!
