Hidden Object Adventure
Big Fish Editor's Choice! This title was chosen for its high standard of quality and amazingly positive reviews from our Game Club beta testers.

DominiGames, creators of Dark Romance and Labyrinths of the World, invite you to investigate another case in their exciting Mystery Tales series!

A series of suicides has the local police baffled. There were no signs of foul play at the scenes, but all of the victims worked at the Death Printed Ltd. Publishing House. Coincidence? At least one detective thinks not – and he calls you in to help investigate. Using your special power to see ghostly visions of the past, you quickly affirm his suspicions. A terrible cloud is hanging over everyone connected to a new novel called The Hangman, and now that you’re involved… you could be next! Can you track down the truth behind the mysterious novel and escape with your life? Find out in this compelling hidden-object puzzle adventure game!

See what our Beta testers had to say:

“I absolutely loved this game because of its originality, and its genuine spookiness. One of the best I have played and will definitely check out the rest in the series.”  - Vince, beta tester

“BAM! This game starts out with a bang and keeps on going. The pace and graphics are good. I really enjoyed the interaction!”  - Rachel, beta tester

I beta tested this game and really enjoyed it. I am happy that it is finally available to us. I loved the paranormal involvement and using the special glasses. It made the story very interesting and kept me wanting more. The very reliable reviewers ahead of me pretty much mirror my opinion of the game...and I do agree that there was an over abundance of puzzles and it took too much time away from the story. Hopefully the entire game is not like this.
The games/puzzles were excellent, very creative, I had to skip one of them which I hate because it feels like cheating. The HOGs were wonderful, hope there are many more waiting for us. They were multi-layered and very interactive which I totally love. My favorite kind! The graphics and color were perfect...this developer always does a superb job in this area. It adds so much depth to the story. The characters were done extremely well and their facial features and body movements were not stiff and robotic. Everything just had a more realistic look to it and the villain's features were oozing with evil. The extras were good though I did not experience many of them in my beta time. I always look forward to the collectibles, morphs, achievements, etc. Love challenging myself. The bonus chapter is another goodie that I enjoy.
I love the Mystery Tales and own them all. I will add this one to my collection when there is a good sale. I wish the CEs were not so expensive, I buy them mostly for the strategy guide many times. It would be nice if they were included in the SEs as well. Alas, such is life! Overall, this was very entertaining and the CE offers lots of goodies. I think 5 stars is a worthy rating.
God Bless....

I have not played many in the Mystery Tales series but I can tell you this, having played this game, I want to go back and play others!
From the get go - there are things popping out of the screen at you, there are bright colours, an interesting storyline (well, I found it interesting in any event), lots to do, pets to collect - puzzle squares to find, etc.
The game play got a little pixelated during the cut scenes, but that might be my pc and not their fault, having said that - it almost instantly cleared up.
I didn't see any morphing things but that is not always a bad thing. There is so much to do in this game that I really didn't miss them.
Give it a go - it took me quite a while to play as well and the bonus chapter is also fairly long too. Show less

I found this game to keep my attention.
It even has a custom level that I use all the time to skip the puzzles...I'm NOT into puzzles at all.
Very good story line and they stay with the subject to keep your attention.

I really enjoyed this game. I like it when animals are a part of the game and this does not disappoint. You get to fix up the animals habitats and find the animals themselves which is fun. I love hidden object games and the scenes weren't too dark. The items were somewhat difficult to find but that is okay. I don't mind that.

I love hidden object games and the scenes weren't too dark. The items were somewhat difficult to find but that is okay. I don't mind that. I don't like it when developers make items so dang small you can't see them just to make the game harder. That just makes it frustrating and not fun. This one has a good story line and a lot to do. Buy it. You won't be disappointed. It was a pretty long game too. I bought others in this series and the developers do a great job. Please make more with animals. Show less

There is the usual "ridiculous" tasks to perform in this game like most games--getting through pretty cool obstacles only to end up with a screwdriver or the good ol' zipper pull, but I have to say I really enjoyed this game. I just finished the entire CE version and for the third time in my life of playing nearly 200 games from Big Fish, I got all the morphing-cursed objects, all the puzzles, plus all the pets, and numerous achievements. I'm very satisfied!
The storyline was great, the voiceovers were the best yet, the graphics were stunning. Can't complain really. Great map and hint button. Everything is at your disposal. You decide what mode you want to play--I like the custom mode. The game flow was spot on! Just the way I like my games.
I love Domini Games devs. They're one of the best in my opinion. I'm not the least bit sorry that I purchased this game. It was fun to play and lots of puzzles for sure and mini-games. To be honest, a tad too many puzzles for my taste but I got through them. The HOPS were very good but I loved the fact that you can play Match 3 games as an option. Great job, devs! I definitely recommend this game. Show less
