I thought this game was very original and a lot of fun. It gets a bad rap because people find it difficult, but it's not that bad. In the beginning you get lots of hints and are always able to skip puzzles. Toward the end when hints become scarce, there are video walk-throughs on youtube that will help you out. This game was the closest I've EVER seen a game come to feeling like you're in a haunted house. There are many things that will randomly jump out and scare you, so be prepared! My family thought it was hilarious that I would randomly scream out while playing this game.
One more note: I saw someone in the forum complaining that this game mocks people with mental illnesses, but I respectfully disagree. This was simply a fun, jump out and say boo, haunted house kind of a game. It indicated nothing about mental illness, except when it mentioned depression in the beginning.
I recommend this game!

I couldn't give this game 5 stars for a few reasons...the constant background chatter between Vida and the ferret become annoying (you can mute them, thankfully), the hidden object scenes weren't so clear and the hint system was a little iffy. Otherwise, I found it challenging enough to see it through to the end. Cool story line, too, with a surprise ending.
I recommend this game!

I was really surprised by this game. I knew it was a spin-off of the Dark Parables line, but I wasn't expecting it to be even better! The hauntingly beautiful music and graphics, the tragic story line and the cute little pop-up map all combined to make this an EXCELLENT game!
I recommend this game!

Although loosely based upon the exploits of Elizabeth Bathory (she was a serial killer, not a vampire...obviously), I enjoyed stepping back through the pages of history (the names of her husband and servant were correct) to play this game. I also very much enjoyed all the potion making. My young daughter was excited that her name, Sofia, was listed under items of wisdom (Sofia means "wisdom"). You'll enjoy this one!
I recommend this game!

Although I enjoyed this game, I don't feel it was as exciting or as scary as the first one. Given the number of stellar reviews it received, I was expecting better. It's definitely worth playing, but don't expect it to match the thrills that the first one brought.
I recommend this game!
Maze: Subject 360
From the makers of the Rite of Passage series comes a ground-breaking new series that's as creepy as it gets.
