Recently I dusted off the first few Haunted Hotel games because I love this series and wanted to refresh my memory of it's beginnings. What I refreshed was the discovery that this series started out horribly! Haunted Hotel I & II aren't even remotely scary, and aren't really about hauntings at all, just weird things happening inside the rooms of a hotel. Luckily for us, things got more hauntingly creepy and The Axiom Butcher has returned from the dead to add a few more bodies to his long bucket list of things he apparently didn't finish before dying!
The graphics just keep getting better and better, the crisp computer generated graphics are far superior than it's predecessors, the details are so realistic, which helps to make the gamer one with the surroundings of this creepy Hotel where you check in anytime, but you may not want to check out! This Collector's Edition has 25 Morphing Objects to find and 20 Hidden, but rather large Crystal Balls which contain some rather unusual items within, and also gives brief descriptions in the secret room. There are the usual Achievements to earn and many of the inventory items have plus signs indicating some type of interaction is required before the item can be used.
The Hidden Object Scenes are in a variety of styles, Interactive List, Progressive Silhouetted Shapes, Multiples and even finding items that match the Keywords shown in yellow text during a short story. The Mini Games are doable, and fairly decent, nothing groundbreaking but they are fun and entertaining such as selecting and placing dominoes on the empty spaces, each domino should only fit when two matching symbols are placed side by side.
This Collector's Edition has 10 Wallpapers, 10 Concept Art pictures, 4 Music Soundtracks, 18 Achievements, 20 collectible Crystal Balls, 25 Morphing Objects Tarot Cards, 13 re-playable Mini Games, 15 replayable Hidden Object Scenes, a Secret Room, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

Pun not intended. Disclaimer: Haunted House thrillers are one of my favorite genres. I just did a game that had only HOs, nothing else, ostensibly to relax me, but after the 30th one it made me go "Rawr!" So Elephant Games rescued me with a wonderfully atmospheric, puzzle heavy, adventure heavy game that you should try.
Now, the whole environment is great, with mournful, suspenseful music and occasionally chilling. (No spoilers, I don't do that). The devs create a great sense of being stranded and isolated. Low lighting effects are used to enhance creepiness, but yes, you can see.
Adventure level is very good, and keeps your mind busy, because Elephant always has you hauling things around for two hours before you use it. There was more back-tracking than I cared for, but it didn't keep me from enjoying the game. Next steps aren't always obvious, so keep an open mind.
Puzzles outnumber HOs and some you've seen. Some are new, challenging and one was aggro to me. All beautifully done.
HOs are interactive or varied in some way to keep interest. And even locked boxes are multistep at times. Very Nice.
There are 25 scene morphs, 20 crystal balls, and 15(?) tarot card morphs to find. That means only 25 scenes total, but trust me, Elephant puts you to work so you barely notice. Other bling includes the Secret Room (a mini morph hunt), achievements, replayable HOs & puzzles, plus the usual.
The main game lasted 5 hrs in Hard mode, and bonus about 1.5+hr. The bonus game was a different story, new scenes, and kept me engrossed.
Is it worth a CE? I say yes. I like creepy games, good challenge, & puzzles galore, but this is also excellent quality work on the total package:scenery, music, sound, graphics, gaming on both games, and I was sorry when it was over. Show less

HOPs looked basic, but were actually very nicely done and a good variety of them.
Puzzles not too complex, nor repetitive and fairly straightforward.
Four game play modes; I chose custom so fast hint and skip buttons. Didn't need to use map or SG as hint system was excellent. A lot of tooing and froing, so hint system was very useful.
Various collectables and morphing objects in most scenes.
Game lasted a good 3 hours with some skips, and bonus game lasted about an hour.
All in all my kind of a game. Just wish there were more like this for quality, interest and fun. These devs know how to make great games. Show less

Well I'm just pausing between the demo and purchasing to throw up a quick review, what a gem of a game! After the swoon worthy Whispered Secrets Everburning Candle, expected a HOG drought for a while. This new game is a wonderful way to be oh so wrong.
What ticks the boxes for me:
Beautiful visuals with the art work and animation blended with photographically real images - it's a joy and a pleasure to experience the scenes. I've sat just looking without playing, it's a thing of beauty.
Good challenge level on games - I played just one up from the casual on the demo (so I don't forget it's a demo and use up the whole time on a puzzle!) The electrical 'dominos' had the spot on mix of 'doability' but tricky enough to keep me it at a while, that was satisfying avoiding both boring/frustrating.
I'm a murder mystery geek - TV, films, books, I am obsessed with the genre. I'm really impressed at the the level of finding actual clues and story related actions and getting to work with a cop buddy. The murder scenes could probably use a trigger warning for being gory, as they're more photo realistic than most games and could be a jolt if it's not expected and it's something people find upsetting.
I'm happy to go for the collector edition on half price day - I'm finding morphing objects due to enjoying looking at the scenes but replayability will be a draw for me. I'm enjoying the spooky stuff and shuddering at glimpsing eyeballs through the keyholes! It gets you puzzling from the get go in the car, but be warned, it's another snowy one - it's actually snowing here in England at the moment, so snuggling up with a spooky game and a cup of tea is just the ticket! A big thumbs up from me. Show less

7 CHAPTERS PLUS A BONUS CHAPTER
OVERVIEW: The Haunted Hotel series has engaged in some redecorating. Going for a “realistic” look to their hotel, they have “painted” their walls blood red and added some blood splattered scenes as well. I LOVE this 5 star plus game! Get ready for a chilling tale with realistically portrayed crime scenes. You are off as an investigative reporter to check into the Axiom Hotel to search for clues about the serial killer, the Axiom Butcher. Has the ghost of the serial killer returned to continue his reign of madness? Or, perhaps, is there a copycat killer behind all the sudden outbreak of murder?
The game script is very well written. The pace is excellent and keeps you in constant suspense. The graphics are realistic providing a blood dripping eerie chill throughout this game. There are more mini-games than HOP scenes; however both are thematic and well-done. The extras include three collectibles which include crystal balls, tarot cards and morphing objects. The crystal balls are huge and very easy to locate. The morphing objects and tarot cards are a little more difficult to find. You also have the ability to replay the HOP scenes and puzzles.
STORY: A ritualistic killer is loose within the hotel. Could it be a copycat killer or the ghost of a serial killer? Working with an undercover detective, James, meet an assortment of potential victims or suspects including Madam Cassandra Creighton, a seer who has the ability to see the future. Is she contacting with the spirit of the mass murderer in more ways than one? Meet Maid Molly, a college student working her way through school who may wish she had gotten a “full ride” out of this hotel. Meet Ben, the owner of the hotel, whose wife May, is the first victim. What secrets could he be hiding behind those wandering eyes? And why does Christian Donovan, a pianist, keep playing the same song “Darling Clementine” throughout the game? Ray Turner is the local officer assigned to this case; however, can he be trusted? An ancient evil has been awakened. As corpses pile up, learn more about the history of the residents of the hotel.
MINI-GAMES: There are more puzzles than HOP scenes. The puzzles range in difficulty from easy to moderately difficult. I did not find any which were brain crushing and most of the puzzles are easy. In the demo, they are principally matching puzzles along with a switch puzzle, a moving tiles puzzle, and a sequence puzzle. After the demo, in the next chapter there is an assembly puzzle, a sequence puzzle and another matching puzzle.
FAVORITE PUZZLE: My favorite puzzle is from the demo and is a variation of a domino puzzle in which each end contains symbols which must match up. It is not a terribly difficult puzzle; however, it does require some time and strategy to get the correct sequence for the dominos.
HOP SCENES: Although they are few, they are fairly well-created. They include items to locate, sentences detailing the murder scenes in which items to be located are listed in BOLD letter, and a matching scene. After the demo, in the next chapter, there is a silhouette scene and another list of items to locate
LEVELS: Casual, Advanced, Hardcore, Custom
Hints and Skips – 15 to 90 seconds
EXTRAS:

Map is given to you at the start of the game
18 Achievements
Collect 20 crystal balls with sayings attached.
Collect 10 Tarot cards
25 Morphing objects:

I Beta tested this game back in February, and could not wait for it to be released. Loved the murder mystery story line, the morphs, collectibles etc... Although I am a fan of this series, I was getting bored, and I felt that the developers had been "phoning it in". Not so with this one, it was an immediate buy, and I am downloading as I type.
It may not be for everyone, but for me it's a win!

I played on Custom mode and turned everything off which is my ultimate favourite. So no help whatsoever. It makes it just that more challenging if you are inclined to play that way. If not, you can pick what you like and get rid of the others.
The graphics are very good - colourful yet crisp and well defined. Finding items you need are easy to see.
Sound is good and the music is loud and fast orchestral.
The hidden objects game are interactive straightforward, silhouette and finding pairs. These are easy to do because items are clear to see and you don't need to spend too much time on them.
There are a good variety of mini-games. Some are harder to do than others. There are a few where you have to get things in the right order and/colour which always take a while to do.
It is possible if get most, if not all, of the achievements.
All up the game and bonus took me about 7 hours or so to play. The Secret Room took me 11 minutes to do. You have to find certain items like 4 hats, 12 globes, 20 dolls, etc and you are timed to find them all. You can replay it to better your time if you wish.
Its a good solid game and you won't be bored because there is a lot to do. One thing that made me laugh was I have never played a game where there are so many locked cabinets, doors - well, EVERYTHING. So you are going to be roaming around finding a lot of keys and/or finding items to smash or grind through others to move on.
Happy playing fishies. Show less

Wow, what an amazing game that has now raised the bar for any future games in the Haunted Hotel series. I loved the beta for this game and have been eagerly awaiting its release and now it is finally here!
Everything about this game is almost perfect with excellent graphics, top-notch voiceovers, and a great storyline that grabbed me from the beginning. There are interesting and varied HOPS, and fairly challenging puzzles as well to keep things interesting. Just when I was beginning to burn out on HOPA games there is now an exciting game that is geared to the adults who are interested in more than cutesy fairies and princesses. Here is a gritty game with a mature theme and some ghostly scares.
It is a dark and snowy night as you are traveling a road in the state of Washington on your way to visit the Axiom Hotel. You are stopped along the way by a patrolman whose car has spun out on the road so you give him a lift to the hotel since that is his destination as well. No sooner do you arrive than things begin to happen that will test your investigative skill. The game has a cast of interesting characters one of which might be a copycat serial killer.

Pull out all the stops as you solve interesting mini-games, search for clues in varied HOPS and hopefully find out whom or what is killing the guests at the Axiom Hotel. The mini-games are quite good with some even challenging. I am not going to give you all the spoilers and details since it really is more fun to find out what they entail by playing the game for yourself.
The CE includes all of the wonderful extras that this development team includes in their CE games. There are collectibles, morphing objects, achievements, the bonus chapter, strategy guide and more. IMHO Haunted Hotel the Axiom Butcher is an excellent CE value.
There was no way I was going to be able to wait another month for the SE release of this game so I purchased it before even bothering to download the demo. I loved every minute of the beta and couldn’t wait to get my hands on this game. There are some creepy and downright scary moments that come together to create what I consider one of the best games this year. The game might not be for everyone so please try the demo to make sure this is a game you will enjoy. Show less
