When the local Asylum catches fire, you have no time to lose, patients lives are at stake. But this is no ordinary fire,and this asylum has some extraordinary patients, patients that have been concealed from the outside world! Angelina is one of those patients, a young girl who had no business being locked up in as asylum, and now she's seeking revenge. Can you overcome the supernatural phenomenon and reverse years of abuse to mend Angelina's psyche before it's too late?
Choose your next step carefully, the choices you make will change the course of the game. Will you choose to calm down the horse or start the firetruck, will you gently calm Bernard or use a more aggressive approach? Dr. Rorschach has a few ink blot tests waiting for you throughout the asylum, are you confident in your choices? You even get to choose which version of some Mini Games you want to play, but you only get to choose once! There are Achievements to earn and 36 Hidden Marbles as well, who lost their marbles I wonder?
The Hidden Object Scenes are actually far and few between but they are extremely creative and entertaining, if not a tad bit creepy. There are smaller Zoom Zone lists as well as interactive list finds, and one of my favorite, was rotating a cube to search for silhouetted shapes while placing the items you find on one side into the other. You even get to choose if you want to play a Hidden Object Scene or a Match 3 game.
The Mini Games are fresh, and creative. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:
1) Rotate the circles to restore the image, clicking on the center circle rotates others.
2) Follow the steps to resuscitate a drowning victim in the form of a few simple mini games.
3) Move the pills to set the clock to the reception time.
4) Swap the tiles on both sides of the machine to repair the pipes.
5) Choose the maze you want to play, a rotating maze or a static maze, using arrows in a limited amount of moves.
This Collector's Edition has 15 Achievements, 36 Hidden Marbles, 10 Music soundtracks, Movies, 10 Wallpapers, 12 Workshop pictures, a built in Strategy Guide and two Bonus Chapters, Runaway & Brilliant Mind, enjoy your stay at the asylum! Show less

I am posting this review under the SE first for those of you that are on the fence to get the SE or the CE.
*note to anyone who doesn’t know this…. always be sure to change the “SORT BY” method on this page to see the NEWEST people, as those are usually the ones that have actually finished the game and not just the demo…. Also--If you “mouse over” or click on the Big-fisher’s username, in blue, you can see their other reviews.
****************MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*******************
I play all of these games on custom mode.
The SE portion of the game took me around 5 hours
The bonus play 1 took me, 1hr 15min
Bonus play 2 unlocks when you find collectibles:
It took me 15 minutes.
TOTAL GAMEPLAY with bonus was 6 hr. 30min
MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ME TO TELL YOU:
This is my favorite in this series and currently my new favorite game of all. They took a risk with turning the series spookier and it WORKS! If they make the next one exactly the same I will buy CE on day 1, again. Everything about this game works. It takes a lot for me to say that too.
Secondly, even though it has a “darker” storyline…. the atmosphere is rather beautiful throughout most of the game, so spending time here is well worth your while.
Third, this game, of all the games I have played over the years, has THE BEST HIDDEN OBJECT SCENES I have EVER DONE! This is the first game I wished to have doubles of them. They can be replayed in bonus. The type you see in demo, will carry on throughout the game. Most are 3D or multiple scene basis, where you have to spin or turn or flip through panels to find all the objects.
And Finally, if they had used the bonus play as the demo I bet this game would have a solid 5* rating instead of the 4.8 rating it has as of this review. This is the only game I have EVER PLAYED that I actually liked the bonus BETTER than the demo, with the exception of Sable Maze Sullivan River.
Each Chapter is a different person committed to this hospital and how each transformed into some weird “other” self. Some of these were farfetched but the site seeing and game play just flows over the oddities.
FAVORITE SPOT IN GAME IS CHAPTER 3- The wedding scene, it is in front of a gorgeous stained glass window, and there is gameplay before a 3 part mirror that just knocks your socks off. Chap 3 also has a castle above the land, which you will see again revamped. The bonus play is my other favorite play of the entire game….see “about bonus play”.
MAP, HINT, DIARY, GRAPHICS, VOICE ACTORS, & MUSIC- The MAP is a rough sketch with portal windows to fast travel to the next task. It is super basic but does serve the purpose. HINT is helpful step by step that also has the capacity to teleport to other areas quickly. There is a basic type of diary that holds notes you pick up in the game— better than none. The GRAPHICS are rich, clear, and with great color. The tones chosen through the entire game and especially in the bonus area are perfect. The characters look almost live, the voice overs are perfect, and the music is great…. it all works.
ABOUT BONUS PLAY- This game shows 2 bonus play but technically only the first is extra play… and the second is a rather quick and it remains locked until all of the collectable “orbs” are located.
The actual bonus play is 9 areas of play and of those, the first 3 we have already seen in SE play, the next 3 areas are new, and really worth seeing, and the final 3 are revised areas. There are 5 new hidden object scenes to play and 5 new Mini games. The story is Fiona is trapped and asks Angelina for help.
*****Did I just feed a can of cat food to Fiona but I gave the croissant to the swan?? Tasty brand, she gobbled it up faster than my cat ever could. You see this in bonus play part 1, area 7 in the basement.
Those very fun “Blot tests” you see in demo are played throughout the whole game and continue into bonus. I adored those. Rarely have I purchased both the SE and liked it so much to use credit or a sale to buy the CE, but this is one of those to come back for someday. I would have really bummed out if I hadn’t bought the CE right from day 1.
Finding COLLECTABLES is BONUS 2 PLAY:
********THIS SECTION HAS SPOILER SO DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW*******
This section unlocks when you find all the MARBLES. I had missed 1 and it was nice to be able to reenter the scene that I missed to collect it.
The 2nd bonus play is called A BRILLIANT MIND- It starts you in that area that spins with the 6 different children (from the SE play) at the front of each hall. Again, you answer their riddle in order to proceed to the final locked door which unlocks to a cut scene. I play with Windows 7 and the voices didn’t play for this kids this time…so I am not sure if it was just my computer. At least there is still text to see what they are saying. The cut scene didn’t make sense to the end to me, or to the game as a whole for that matter, and after that the game’s credits roll.
CE GOODIES ARE:
Xtra play, Find all the orbs has 15 min gameplay. REPLAY these perfect HOS & replay MG & cutscenes, , The 5 concept art has logo but it is just black and white quick sketches, BUT there are 5 pictures of artists from this DEV either at some place during their work on this game. Too bad we didn’t have 10 pic of the DEV and NO concept art…. Would much rather see my heros. Ah, well maybe next time. There is an achievement page
10 MUSIC DL
10 WALLPAPERS
51 PG IN GAME WTG
STRATEGY GUIDE
There is an in game 51pg walkthrough guide. To give you an idea of how long the bonus play is compared to the demo,
CHAP 1- Angelina 11pgs.
CHAP 2- Graham 7pgs.
CHAP 3-Gwen 11pgs.
CHAP 4 Fiona 7pgs
BONUS PLAY- Burning Women 10 pgs.
other-5 pgs
IF YOU LIKED THIS GAME HERE ARE SOME OTHERS LIKE IT:
Try the Grim Tales Series. Also has beautiful environments and consistently great game play.
Many thanks to Big Fish Games!
And to GrandMa Studios…this is the best game you ever put out!! Thanks to all involved in making it…. this fan appreciates you!

As a detective you arrive at the scene of a huge fire and it is not long before you are in the middle of the action. The local asylum is burning and the firefighters are quickly losing the battle to save it as somehow the fire seems very unnatural. The firefighters are having extreme difficulty in controlling the blaze that could easily spread to the adjacent town so you jump in and help. As you gain entry to the asylum you are faced with the horror of what lies within its walls. Hopefully, you will be able to find survivors and maybe find out what is causing the devastation.
There are four modes of gameplay to select and the custom mode is included as one of your choices. In custom mode the hints and skips can be set in the range of 10 – 500 seconds. The graphics are crisp with some very creepy hand drawn artwork that is reminiscent of those in some of the MCF games. Although some scenes might be quite gorgeous, others are very dingy. The sound effects add to the creepy nature of the game and more than a few of you might find them a bit disturbing; I sure know that I did! Even though I was a bit rattled, it doesn’t mean that I didn’t think they added to the game or that I didn’t like them because they were absolutely perfect and set the entire tone of the game.

Very early in the game you will find an interactive, transporter type map that will show where you have tasks or objectives.
The HOPS in The Everburning Candle are some of the best I have ever played. I love some of the innovation that the developer has used that definitely set this game apart from others. I am not going to spend a lot of time telling you about the HOPS or the mini-games but I loved all of them. Although some of the mini-games are familiar, they have a different spin to them and are quite excellent. Some might seem a bit difficult but they just take a bit of time to figure out so they are doable without a lot of stress factor.
In the CE version of the game there are collectible marbles to be found and they are located in each scene. Of course we have those meaningless achievements (at least they don’t rock my world) but not much else aside from the standard fluff.
Although I absolutely think that this latest Whispered Secrets game is by far the best in the series, I have to say that many gamers might find it a bit disturbing. That aside, I strongly urge you to try the demo before you purchase the game. I happen to be a fan of some of the more creepy games but this one had me a bit on edge at times. That doesn’t mean that I didn’t like it because I did. It is only my humble opinion but I believe that this is probably one of the finest games we have ever had from this developer and I would love to see more like it. There are so many of the innovative gameplay features in the game that I couldn’t wait to hit the buy button and continue with the full game. . The Everburning Candle is certainly not your run of the mill so-so HOPA game. Just when I have become bored with many of the games I have played this year, we have two excellent games in the same week and I am thrilled to say the least. As I mentioned above, please try the demo of The Everburning Candle to see if this is a game you will like. Show less

Not one but two Bonus Chapters added other content.
At the end of the year this one will be certainly on my top 5 list.

I am a fan of this series & was blown away by this offering when I beta tested it back in early January.
As a true HO lover , I would have appreciated more HOPs than puzzles (tolerate them), some morphs thrown in would have been nice but every aspect of this game was perfection for me. I rarely review as others do it so much better than I but I could not sit by and not give a shout out for this

REVIEW OF COMPLETED GAME AND BONUSES
Well, the devs definitely came up with a unique story sitting around their board table on Monday morning. Let's think right outside the box and give us fishies something worth playing - and they did. There is:
* Voiceovers (with dialogue);
* Casual, Advanced, Hardcore and Custom modes;
* Notebook;
* 15 Achievements;
* Interactive map;
* Find 36 marbles to reveal the secrets of the Asylum;
* Three stories: Outcasts, Runaway and Brilliant Mind.
The graphics are spectacular - colourful, crisp and well defined. I loved going from scene to scene not knowing what to expect. I was never disappointed.
Sound is very good and the music is mainly fast orchestral.
The hidden object games are fun to do. Everything is crystal clear and easy to find. There are interactive straightforward, silhouette, finding pairs, etc. You don't spend a lot of time of each one, so you can get on with the game.
There are a huge variety of mini-games ranging from easy to hard. There were a couple of spider web games I spent ages on, and there were some that I spent some time in getting the tiles or jewels to their rightful places, etc. None are too hard or make you want to skip them. I did them all and had fun with them.
Finding the 36 marbles in the Outcasts and Runaway games are easy. When you have found them all then you can play the Brilliant Mind game (which only takes a few minutes).
I didn't use the interactive map at all throughout the games because you are only going a few steps forwards or backwards, so there was no point in using it.
Yes, it is possible to get all the Achievements. I did this time, but I felt I had to work hard to get them.
All up the game and bonuses took me about 7 hours to do. I thought that was long enough because it is a full on adventure with plenty to do. When I had finished the games I felt like I had played enough to enjoy them without getting too mentally shattered.
Overall, an unmissable fantastic game and definitely worth putting in your collection. Show less

What big dark thoughts you have lurking in your gaming department! This game has a well-written script about an asylum, which could cause some phobias by just being there to investigate!
The graphics are dark and the surrealistic settings give a creepy element to the game. You will investigate the sad tales of four (4) children and an evil presence who is manipulating these children. As you begin your investigation, you are accompanied throughout the asylum by shapeshifting ghostly Angelina who talks to you in a creepy monotone voice, warning you of your own peril.

There are more puzzles than HOP scenes and the puzzles range from easy to difficult. This game demonstrates some of the best innovation in HOP scenes and puzzles to be seen on this site in quite some time. One of the HOP scenes is actually a cube in which you must switch from side-to-side to locate and replace items. The puzzles are masterful including an actual rat maze in which you must set arrows to create a path for the poor rat only to have it turn from side-to-side once you activate it. After the demo there is another “cube” puzzle which requires some logical reasoning.
As you uncover the story about Angelina who has "lost her marbles," you will help her collect them (as a collectible) and place them back into a maze within her head. Once all are collected, you will use them to play a maze puzzle the end of the game. Chanting and talking to you in a creepy voice, she reminds you that you that “You are next!” Mystery surrounds these outcasts, who having nothing wrong with them but are placed within this asylum. Why are they there? Uncover the sad story of the outcasts.
HOP SCENES: They are fewer than the puzzles; however, they are well-done. They include lists of items to locate with a modicum of interactivity. The best one is of course the Rubik Cube scene in which you must locate and replace items back within the scene – all while twisting and turning the cube.
PUZZLES: A true puzzler’s delight! There are easy puzzles; however, there are some which are moderately difficult. There is also a fiendishly difficult rat maze puzzle which requires some time to figure out if you choose the more difficult mode. I LOVE the puzzles in this game. And again, it has been some time since those of us who love some challenging puzzles have had any in these games.
