Bad news! The lawyer Kathleen Wilson has discovered that her beloved Danny Reed has been arrested under strange circumstances. He’s being accused of murder. In order to free him, she’s going to have to carry out her own investigation.
Kathleen has to find out the truth. Was he set up, or was it just some kind of misunderstanding? Is there something bigger behind all this? Right now, nothing is clear...
Collect photographs, notes, slides – anything that might be useful in your investigation. Record all the facts and clues in your notebook - they could come in handy later. It isn’t hard to hit a dead end in an investigation, but don’t panic - you can use a hint.

The music kept me interested as well as the mystery surrounding an important artifact that seems to be worth endangering others for to acquire. Graphics and hidden object scenes are clear and concise.
With all the razzle dazzle of late, enjoying this refreshing change.

In this SE adventure you play Kathleen, an attorney whose boyfriend Danny has been framed for murder. Danny has been searching for an ancient Indian Totem, which hasn't been an easy task since it consists of several pieces hidden somewhere in the past. This is an incredible story that takes you back in time to the year 1913. Travel thru time to ultimately clear Danny and reunite a lost child with father. A very compelling story that kept me playing almost 6 hours. No voice acting but it wasn't necessary. The twisting plot of the story and graphics kept me captivated to the end. I loved it. I also recommend these titles by the same developer...

This game was very good. It was fairly easy to complete. The graphics were very good. The story was interesting. The best part of this gaming experience is that I got it with a "free game" coupon. I have learned that the "free games" that I get are usually so much better than the ones that I have to buy. Free Games are a great feature of having a Big Fish Account. I recommend this game!

Long for a SE and I loved the different places and I liked the click of the game cursor. Great game for using my free game voucher! I wasn't fond of the hos piles but managed to click my way through, hate those!
Other that puzzles were fairly easy but lots to do.

I do not recall having so much fun with this kind of game. The narrative flows easily and holds your attention. The HOS are not too difficult, though offer some challenge, so with the minigames. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Kathleen is an attorney, just arriving home after winning a big inheritance case, she receives a frantic call from her boyfriend Danny. "I'm in trouble and I need your help" she listens in disbelief as the police are arresting Danny on murder charges! Danny believes he is being set up for the murder of his neighbor, Jack Goodman, a mountaineer, all because of an Indian totem that Danny has been searching for for ages. Unfortunately the police have way too much evidence, an icepick with Jack's blood and Danny's fingerprints on the murder weapon. (never clear as to whether they have Jacks body) Here's where the story goes astray: as Kathleen is searching Danny's hotel room for the artifact she finds a portal which naturally she jumps in, and finds herself in the past in the year 1913. She meets an older man who claims that he is responsible for the fact that she was time warped. He claims that a man named Frank found the Indian artifact and was able to hold a ritual to use this artifact to destroy the soul, depriving a man of his sanity, feelings and will, and that he hid the pieces of the totem just before Frank used this same ritual to wipe out his memory. Who's Frank and how did this man get his memory wiped out if he hid the totem? What does this ritual have to do with Jack's murder and why was Danny so interested in the totem in the first place. I feel like I have to purchase this game to find out what's going on. Did my memory get wiped out as well?
The only thing this game has going for it is this incredible story as confusing as it may be. I found it odd that the music track would just stop leaving dead awkward silence for a stretch before repeating the same track. The graphics aren't bad, there are no bells no whistles, no extra anything. The Hidden Object Scenes are slightly interactive list finds where you may have to click on a purse to open it and expose an object inside, they are mostly just random piles of junk heaped in a pile, not bad, just nothing to write home about. The mini games aren't bad, they are fairly easy but entertaining such as finding the diagram for the correct placement of several Indian figurines wearing different animals cloaks such as a bear, wolf, and coyote and then placing the animal figurines directly below the matching Indian. There are a lot of HOS, not as many puzzles or mini games.
To sum it all up, this game isn't going to give you a WOW factor, but for a stand alone standard edition, it is decent enough to hold your interest. The areas of interest are logical, you probably won't have much difficulty figuring out which inventory items are to be used, making this a good game for beginners, with an interesting story that will peak the interest of more advanced players, enjoy!

Chronicles of the Witches and Warlocks
Review based on completed demo

I was thrilled to see this game, because I loved Portal of Evil: Stolen Runes, also by this dev, so I was expecting something along those lines. Unfortunately, Chronicles wasn't nearly as sophisticated in its development and, as a whole, it suffered in several areas.

Chronicles of the Witches and Warlocks
Review based on completed demo
PROLOGUE...
I was thrilled to see this game, because I loved Portal of Evil: Stolen Runes, also by this dev, so I was expecting something along those lines. Unfortunately, Chronicles wasn't nearly as sophisticated in its development and, as a whole, it suffered in several areas.
ONCE UPON A TIME...
You take the role of Attorney Kathleen Wilson, whose lover Danny Reed has been accused of murder. Danny claims innocence, alleging that he was attacked because he'd been searching for ancient totems. As you begin your investigation, you too are attacked, lending credence to Danny's story. Now, you'll have to become a treasure hunter and travel through time to find the totems in order to clear his name.
PLAY THE GAME...
HO scenes are junk piles with minimally interactive lists, but are generally more difficult than most modern day games which don't even hide the items. You'll spend more time in each HO than you're used to doing, and each gives you a necessary object for your inventory.
I found the puzzles to be extremely easy. Some are familiar, some are variations on a theme, and a few are unique. None are difficult. Collect books and swap until you complete the picture on their spines. Rotate two circles of pictures with earth or space themes and swap them until they're on the circle where they belong.
Adventure mode is typical. Find keys and shaped items to unlock doors, drawers, cabinets, and boxes. Collect tools to repair or assemble things. Discover clues for your journal.
SIGHTSEEING...
I loved the graphics and animation. Colors were saturated but not garish jewel tones. Light and shadow were well-represented to created lifelike dimension. And the perspective created just a touch of surrealism. The only missing piece was that the posers could have been animated better. Their movements were robotic and their facial expressions rather monotone.
SOUNDBOARD...
The music was somewhat repetitive, unlike Portal of Evil. To be honest, that piano theme got to me after awhile. There was a lack of appropriate environmental sounds as well. And there were no voiceovers at all.
TOOLBOX...
The inventory panel did not lock open...annoying. A journal detailed the story and stored needed clues. The map transported and showed active areas, but didn't indicate areas you were unable to visit.
OH BOTHER!
Even though there was an update to this game, I found quite a few issues. For example, the puzzle with the Native American statuettes and animals? The solution the game accepted didn't match up with the given clue. Additionally, there were quite a few horrid mistranslations. "Funnel" on the HO list turned out to be a conical oil can. "Ostrich feather" on the list was actually a peacock feather. Things like these really detract from immersion and enjoyment.
EPILOGUE...
If it weren't for the issues, I'd probably purchase this game. As it stands, I can't recommend it. I do highly recommend Portal of Evil: Stolen Runes from this dev, and hope they'll develop more games of that quality. Happy gaming!

The game begins with hauntingly beautiful music that continues throughout, sometimes intensifying. The soundtrack includes full orchestra, piano and violin solos, and operatic background vocals. There are no voiceovers so there is some reading involved, but the writing is clear and large and easy to follow.
The game graphics are well drawn; clear, crisp, and clean. Hidden object scenes are integrated into the story, list type with some interactivity, also very well drawn and well done.(minor distraction - one clue was asking for a "leaflet" when in fact the object was a maple leaf) Mini puzzles are interesting and a lot of fun. Gameplay includes finding objects to complete a task. There's a lot to do in this game.
The storyline is interesting. Wrongfully imprisoned for murder, the player sets out to find enough evidence to exonerate her fiancée. Along the way she encounters the beautiful ghost of a mysterious little blonde haired girl, and a time portal to take her back in tie to find more clues to prove her fiancée's innocence.
To assist gameplay there is a hint button, a map, a notebook to record clues and progress, and a small chest to collect totem pieces.
This is a very well done, fun, and interesting hidden object adventure game. I would have bought it for the soundtrack alone. Show less
