Wow! I really liked this game .. and to boot, used a coupon to have so much fun and challenges.

I saw a few reviews saying they don't recommend it ... please ignore those comments as this game is really long, excellent, hard at times and challenging!

Wow! I really liked this game .. and to boot, used a coupon to have so much fun and challenges.

I saw a few reviews saying they don't recommend it ... please ignore those comments as this game is really long, excellent, hard at times and challenging!

When I say this is challenging, it is not unachievable but patience and the desire to win is needed! I admit to skipping a couple of joystick games as I just don't like them, my reflexes are not good and I leave that sort of playing to young people. did try and gave up on a couple such as driving or the rocket ship. Nearly gave up on the parrot but actually won that one!! Whoohoo!

This game is really good .. challenging, has a storyline and just when you think you have saved the 5 x people and think it now all will end, it doesn't ... just goes on and on and as I write this, it seems I still haven't finished!

I buy and play all CE games and I wish they were as challenging and long as this one is! I tried not to use the HINT button but unfortunately, a couple of times, I just had to .. was so lost and frustrated! Gradually realised your cursor does not show all objects to find or actions to be done. So my advise is to click everywhere.

Sure ... some objects on a screen are hard to find but not impossible and are there for you to find ... you only have a few screens to navigate so you know there is something there to allow you to continue ... patience, storyline and clicking everywhere will see you move on!

This game also offers so many new HO puzzles, each HO object is put into a silloutte environment where you have to turn and rotate it ... awesome, loved it, never skipped one no matter how long it took! Not a lot of relying on HOPs rather looking around for what you need! So for me, loved this game!

It is challenging, sure ... has some small objects to find but not in a HO challenge ... just need to move your cursor around. Also found with this game to click on everything as you will miss objects as the cursor doesn't change for a lot of items!

Didn't need to use the hint or SKIP button for quite a while ... so proud of myself ... but eventually, had to. This game whilst described as a HO game, is not ... you have a few scenarios to find what you need ... and all too often, hidden well and when you finally have to use the HINT button, you get angry with yourself!

I found this game awesome, challenging, loved the HO scenes where each item is a silloutte to be to be turned and organised ... loved that! Different puzzle games ... and as a lover of all CE games, thought I knew and was challenged by them all!

But not in this game ... wonderful, new games and challenges, sometimes hard to work out even with the explanation button .. but felt good when I won or worked it out!

So, in summary ... this is a great, fantastic, awesome, very long game, that will give you hours and hours of fun and challenges. Not easy at times ... but achievable.

Sort of ... if you are like me, didn't enjoy the "driving" challenge or the "rocket" challenge, both played for hours but game up and the "parrot" challenge which I was about to SKIP but suddenly, I made it through!

Those games are very fast and challenging but the SKIP button is there for you and quick or slow dependent on what challenge level you chose!

To summarise .. this is an awesome game, long, challenging and to be honest, has taken me longer to finish and work out than all the expensive CE games I have bought ... which seem to be too easy and lots of "hand-holding" of late! This is challenging, rewarding and definitely no "hand holding" ,, you have to be smart, challenged to work it out!

I personally loved this game ... love the challenges, how hard it was and the hours and days of play it offered. And I got if for a coupon! WoW! All this fun and it never cost me a penny!

Do try it as I think you will be pleasantly surprised ... and if you have a coupon ... well, an absolute bonus!

I definitely recommend this game, full of challenges, fun, lots of puzzle games, some hard, most challenging, graphics a bit "iffy" but with all the challenges, who cares how the monsters look like!

Buy it .... you will not be sorry!

I recommend this game! Show less

This game might not be everybody's cup of tea but I loved it! It reminds me a bit of the old "Lost in the City" games, which I really enjoyed. While most games lately hold your hand, this one makes you work. You have to go in not knowing what the plot is, who are the bad guys, or whether you're part of the audience or the film...or both!

I found this game to be refreshing and different. I am one who likes to exercise my brain cells and not have to much hand holding in a game. If you are like me then I believe you will enjoy this game! There are some great logical puzzles!

The whole drive-in setup is nice, and later in the game we can see some more familiar thriller/horror setups.
The music is ok, at the moments sounding 80's-ish (which goes with the genre, I guess).
There are some new elements in the gameplay (rotating HO scenes), but all in all, for the most part it is something we got used to.
Some puzzles were hard to figure out, and a few items hard to spot, but nothing too frustrating, and there is a hint to help.
As I said, some segments could be more polished, but the general vibe is positive, and I sure recommend this game.
There are three game modes, casual, advanced and expert, and I'm sure I somewhere turned "car fixing mode" on ;) Show less

I recommend this game!

The game has a bit different style than most of the HOPA games, but creates the great atmosphere.
There is not much talking or story explaining, but the puzzles are good and pretty challenging.
Other things are more or less standard.

I really enjoy the occasional quirky game that doesn't follow the regular template (although, I often enjoy those, also : ).
I refer to such "offbeat" games as "Lost in the City" (both games 1 & 2) and "Secret Bunker USSR", just to name a few. Like Jocasta1's and Ethan1404's reviews, this one just Clicked! But I've downloaded oodles of games that I enjoy playing. I don't like to be "type-cast" ...Show more

But I've downloaded oodles of games that I enjoy playing. I don't like to be "type-cast" or always searching for the popular "formula" games (too scripted & often predictable); but, I just like a very varied buffet ;)
Play on, Folks!

Starts with the opening scene--"Who's on the same frequency as I am?" Is true that the entire game isn't explained in the first minute which is good with me after playing predictable, boring and repetitious. If you're legally blonde and don't like the game, there's plenty with strategy guides so gamers can pretend they've won.

Looks like "Beetlejuice" has come to life! :))

This is like one of those B movies that can become a camp classic for watching at midnight. I do not know if it is at all deliberately so but the number of disconnects in plot, and the whole plot itself is the sort of thing one could sit back with friends and perhaps liquid refreshment at hand and happily jeer.

This is like one of those B movies that can become a camp classic for watching at midnight. I do not know if it is at all deliberately so but the number of disconnects in plot, and the whole plot itself is the sort of thing one could sit back with friends and perhaps liquid refreshment at hand and happily jeer. The ending is the most prime of all as without segue it turns into what might have been intended as a bonus chapter before giving up on making a CE of it, and well , how to not spoil it for you, someone pushes a button (the viewpoint character, the player?) and a vehicle begins to move. who is in the vehicle if not the one pushing the button? and why for that matter is this happening?

The characters interaction is a hoot.

The failed hint system, a guide is promised from the developer to be out as I write and it is needed, makes a real challenge to the players ingenuity and adds to the perverse fun. There is a new puzzle used many times and involving rotating a silhouette. I tired of it but after a few tries a skip option opens , well before the set skip option is loaded, and I used it.

If I knew this were all deliberate and the devs had been using cheap vodka to fuel their imaginations I would give it five stars.
Cant easily do that otherwise. Hesitated between three and four stars but reading my own review I opt for four. Enjoy if its for you, maybe you will know who you are. Show less

I recommend this game!

There were at least a couple of puzzles that stymied me but I was able to find a good walkthrough on Youtube to get through it. Yes, the silhouette puzzles were a bit annoying but they were short and you could skip them within seconds. There was also a bonus chapter at the end that really left you hanging.

My favorite part was definitely the creepy fake families in the nuclear test zone. How original! Show less
