I wasn't expecting much from this game since it's an "old school" type of HO game, but I was pleasantly surprised! The cool (but very sad) "who done it" storyline, the interesting historical facts and the beautiful music all made for a really fun game!
Even better than the first Nancy Drew Dossier game! You have more options, and there's a great deal more game play. A must have for fans of the Nancy Drew game series, as they use the original Nancy Drew, and there are many character links to other games (even the animals in the lab were featured in other Nancy Drew games). Very fun!!
I enjoyed this game because it's simple, yet challenging. Also, I enjoyed the "anti-clutter" advice along the way. It's original and very much a departure from your usual storybook HO games.
My daughter and I have played all the Nancy Drew large file games, but this was a nice and lite departure from the usual. It was definitely challenging, given there were no skip or hint buttons (it got kind of tough toward the end). It was quite original, too...like no other hidden object game I've ever played. Plus, there was a cool surprise ending and some funny "blooper" scenes. A fun game!
In this game, you get to solve 3 different ghost stories, so it's definitely more bang for your buck! I enjoyed the rooms shifting between past and future, and the effects of the water in the distance. My only criticism would be the lack of map. The monologues ran on a little long, but you can skip those and they'll summarize for you. Was lots of fun!
I've played this game several times, and always have a blast with it. I love the rambling story lines of Joe and Tom, and how they involve us (you even get to name the dog). The match 3 and hidden object scenes are fun, too. Watching your farm grow (3 different farms, in fact) is always a good time. This game definitely has it all!
Even after playing the entire series, I still go back and play this one...it's still one of the best! Lovely scenes, beautiful music and fun mini-games definitely make this game worth buying! The only short-coming is no map...otherwise, it's perfect!
This is one of those old-school hidden object games where it's REALLY tough to find the objects and you have very little hints to go on. Towards the end I was randomly clicking all over the place. That being said, I enjoyed the "choose your own adventure" type story line. I only recommend this to those who are dying to start from the beginning of the "Dream Day" series. Otherwise, I would skip it.
This was an excellent game! It was cut into 3 acts, so it actually felt more like 2 games in one. It was scary, but not TOO scary (my 12 year old daughter played it and was fine). The cut-scenes were the creepiest, they really did a great job of building up the suspense. I enjoyed the music as well...very eerie. The end will leave you dangling, so I definitely am looking forward to True Fear 2, which is set to be released this year.
Like most of the reviewers said, the game was too short, which is my only real complaint. Other than that, I enjoyed it! It was fun "shopping" at the stores. This is one of the few games with hidden objects that actually apply to the story (the sweet shop only had sweets, the art shop only had art supplies, etc.). Some of the items were tough to find, but you can earn hints with four different "Price Is Right" type games that I enjoyed playing. It's a cool game if you only have a couple of hours to spare.
