I'm really enjoying the heck out of this gorgeous fantasy game. First game in a long while that I just don't want to stop playing. It's one of those games that you just enjoy being immersed in. I come out of the game in a really good relaxed mood!
While rescuing a love from an evil force through fantasy portals is certainly nothing new plot-wise Call of Atis is saved by its breathtaking Artwork! Visually, there is a lot to take in and/or interact with in each scene. The artwork is some of the best I've seen in a long time! The vivid colors make each scene even more stunning. Bravo to Boolat Games!

I found the tasks we had to perform fairly fascinating and the challenge level is easy to moderate. I enjoyed the hidden object scenes and the puzzles. The hidden object scenes were often multi-layered and very well designed. The puzzles were not that difficult and fun to do which is saying a lot since I usually end up skipping them, I did not skip any in this game!
I have enjoyed every game Boolat games has put out. Dreampath Curse of the Swamps and Two Kingdoms are two of my most memorable and favorite games. I can now add this game to that list.
Please, Boolat make more games, and hurry! lol
This game was worth every penny and I highly recommend it!

First game in a very long while that I truly enjoyed. I sat and played this game straight through in one day which for me means it was a very good game! It wasn't a five-star game but it was a solid 4-star game. I enjoyed it more than the first in this series.
It's true there were some things you had to do or find that made little to no sense as it pertained to this game but I find that's true in many if not most of the games coming out these past 2 years so I can overlook it.
There was a storyline and it stayed throughout the game. There was a love story too which is always a plus for me. Who doesn't root for true love? The graphics were perfect, the music was nice, the hidden object scenes while kind of easy were still lots of fun. The games are not my favorite part especially if there is a lot of wrist and shoulder action involved and they are repetitious that was the case for most of the mini games so I did what I usually do, start out trying and then hit skip! Fine by me they just slow the story down for me anyway. I think the mini games were innovative and fun just not my cup of tea.
I would say give the game a shot I think you will enjoy it! I did!

I was one of the few who really disliked the last game in this series Maze 360 so I almost didn't give this one a try but considering it's from MadHead and I had just finished the amazing Adam Wolfe games I decided to give it a try, boy am I glad I did. I couldn't stop playing this psychological thriller it got a grip on me and just wouldn't let go! I liked it so much I think I'm going to go back and try playing Maze 360 again since I do own it. I just need to get past seeing children in horrific situations, because that really bothers me.
The graphics, music, voice-overs everything was so professional done. Bravo again to MadHead who keeps thinking outside the box and hitting home-runs!

I enjoyed this game very, very much! It's the first time in a very long time I didn't want to stop playing a game. I started with these two games then I had to have the next in the series and I kept playing until I finished those. I loved them both but I think I preferred this set of two games a little tiny bit more than the last two. I had a blast and I'm so looking forward to more! Bravo and Kudos to MadHead games for thinking outside of the box and creating a fabulous set of games. Thank You!

I just finished playing this game and all I can say is, WOW! I absolutely loved playing this sci-fi-ish game. Loved building things, I loved the shooter games, the puzzles, I just loved everything about it! This is well worth a try and let me say it gets even better more sci-fi-ish after the demo. I've not been a huge fan of the Surface games, but I do own 3 and those were very enjoyable too but this one is my favorite! This Game is was worth every penny and if you get it on sale all the better!
I recommend this game!

I'm not understanding all the low reviews of this game. I was having a fantastic time playing when the demo was over! The time just flew by! I love being able to play as a handsome man with a nice sounding voice, the other voices especially the males are so soothing and sexy!<P>
I love the graphics and sounds in the ERS games and this one is so well done. I have played all of the puppet show games and have enjoyed them all except for the last one, I'm still not done with it because I'm finding it boring, conversely I'm thoroughly enjoying this game.
The gameplay is nice and smooth and relatively easy but that's the way I like my games. I don't like walking back and forth or walking around with a huge filled inventory with no rhyme or reason. In this game you use most of the stuff you pick up pretty quickly and there is limited backtracking. For me that's a big bonus!
It has the dark creepy atmosphere like most of the puppet games without being overly dark and gloomy like the last game in the series was. This is as dark, creepy or scary as I like to get so maybe my expectations aren't the same as many of the others who gave it such a low score but I also didn't enjoy 2 very well made games by Mad Head Maze 360 or Maze Broken Tower games, those games I find to dark and disturbing, they upset my psychi so If you like those you might not enjoy this game which truthfully is a little more juvenile and easy. Right up my kid at heart lane!
Give it a try and see what you think, as for me I'm going to purchase so I can keep on playing!

I just loved this game! It's on my list of top favorite games of the year.<P>
It has all the features you would expect to find in a 5 Star Hidden Object game such as a custom difficulty setting, an interactive map and a bunch of collectibles and morphing objects if you buy the CE.
Curse of Bluebeard is a puzzle filled adventure, with a variety of puzzles, ranging from easy to hard, similarly, the hidden object scenes are also highly entertaining. I found the music very nice and relaxing and the graphics and scenery beautiful!

My favorite part of this game series is playing both hero and heroine (Rachel and Richard) and you get to witness the story unfold from different perspectives. Domini implemented this flawlessly!
I've played all of the games in this series and I've enjoyed them all immensely, this game is by far my favorite!
Give it a try I think you'll really enjoy it!

Was this a 5 star stunner? No, but it was a very enjoyable game!
To me it was not any worse than 99% of the other supposedly great games out there, and better than at least 50% of them, in my opinion.
Sure the graphics weren't as state of the art as they are in Mad Head or Eipix games but that's not always a good thing, I tend to really enjoy older games so a bit of blurriness or not the sharpest graphics in games doesn't bother me.

The hidden object scenes and the puzzles are somewhat generic and can be solved without much brainpower but they are very well-engineered.
I really don't understand the low scores for this game.
I was in the middle of 3 other games by the big guys (all of them remain unfinished) when I purchased a bunch of games on the buy one get one sale. I tried each of them and this game was the one that kept calling me back. I really enjoyed the story, and the locations etc. It was one of those sort of easy games that you can just sit back and enjoy without pulling your hair out and I did enjoy it very much!

It does get better and more intriguing after the demo. I really look forward to more games by Friendly Cactus I think they are going to be a force to reckon with as they get more experience.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed playing this game. I'm a big fan of Elefun games and this one did not disappoint. This game ties with 13 Keys for my favorite Fear for Sales games, I'll give a slight edge to 13 Keys. I won't say it's a 5 star game but it's a solid 4 star game in my opinion. I enjoyed their Witches Legacy games more because almost everything you touched in those games did something, and they are a lot more whimsical. The fear for sale games are more a thrilling slightly spooky adventure. It's well worth the SE price or on sale.
I recommend this game!
