The Beast and it's matser were here long before you were, and will be here long after you're gone. You can fight the beast, but you will never win, after all, the Faceless Gravedigger has already begun digging a grave. But that's just an urban legend, right? Wrong, in fact, you're dead wrong!

The Beast and it's matser were here long before you were, and will be here long after you're gone. You can fight the beast, but you will never win, after all, the Faceless Gravedigger has already begun digging a grave. But that's just an urban legend, right? Wrong, in fact, you're dead wrong!

The Big Fish Editor's aren't wrong about this creepy little gem. Welcome to Quiet Grave, er, I mean Quiet Grove. This breathtaking Resort of yesteryear was once a place where people were just dying to get in. But after four quests mysteriously disappeared without a trace, Quiet Grove was forced to close it's gates for good. Time has not been kind to the resort as the mortar begins to crumble, and weather erodes all that remain. Deep within the shadow of ruins, the Faceless Gravedigger also awaits patiently with his beastly companion. The Gravedigger has already dug a grave, your grave! R.I.P my friend, you can fight, but you'll never win!

This Collector's Edition could have been epic if the devs would have chosen to have some really good Morphing Objects from beyond the grave. But nooo, instead they chose to offer Character figurines and hidden Paw Prints! This isn't a game about puppies and kittens, it's a game about an Urban Legend (Bonfire Story) the Faceless Gravedigger! Wouldn't you agree that finding a Morphing Faceless Gravedigger is more appealing? At least exchange the puppy paw prints with grave markers or a scythe! Could've, Would've, Should've.

The Hidden Object Scenes are really well done and are located in interesting scenes. There are Multiple finds, Interactive list finds and Keywords in sentence finds, all of which have plenty of interactions to hold your interest, some even have puzzles to solve. My only complaint is that some of the objects are too small and unrecognizable.

The Mini games are doable, but not necessarily simplistic. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Drag a wire from the starting point to it's color coded node without crossing wire paths.

2) Arrange pipes to restore the water flow by swapping directional pipe sections.

3) Select buttons to replicate the punch card template, some buttons affect others.

4) Use the map to navigate the basement tunnels. You will have to explore dead ends as well, to find necessary inventory items to progress.

5) Aim and press to shoot a tennis ball when horizontal and vertical moving lines are centered in the target.

6) Create the correct pictural by selecting either the bowls of glowing mushrooms or segments of the mural.

This Collector's Edition has 8 Music Soundtracks, 9 Achievements to earn, 9 Character Figurines, 25 hidden Paw Prints of the beast, 17 Wallpapers, 36 Concept Art pictures, 6 Videos, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy your stay! Show less

I recommend this game!

I see this game has a mixture of reviews, and i am super picky on any game i purchase. I read that this game wasnt challenging enough, and that it was all over the place & that it was boring.. I thought this game was EXCELLENT. I never quit, i played until the end, and even had to have my husband help me with several puzzles. My only complaint is that it ended so fast. I wished it were to be longer. Shouldnt have been deemed a CE. Only problem with this game. Otherwise, its spooky.. the storyline is great, the scenes are not too darkly lit like others may say and the HO scenes were interactive and not boring, and there wasnt an overabundance of them. I found the scenes to be pretty well lit and colorful for a darker game, dont listen to the negative reviews. At least give it a try, i loved it! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a good solid storyline, as every spooky campfire tale should be. The graphics and color are perfect in my opinion, as are the characters and voices. I thought the evil one was very scary and just creepy enough for me! Just THINKING someone like that stalks the night is good enough reason to love my microwave s'mores even more!

The games and HOGs did not disappoint me a bit, I thought they were very good and colorful. Games were interesting. I liked the collectible paws and figurines a lot, but did not see a bunch in the trial time. That's okay, because I am definitely buying this game

I know this will be an excellent, fun game for me as the trial was a strong indication. I highly recommend this 5 star goodie!

REVIEW OF COMPLETED GAME AND BONUS

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The main game is about you finding Jessica before time runs out. The bonus is about Nik finding Daria. There is:

* Voiceovers (with dialogue);
* Casual, Advanced, Expert and Custom modes of play;
* Interactive map;
* 9 Achievements (some with 3 squares);
* Find 25 paw prints (in main game only);
* Find 9 Collection ...Show more

REVIEW OF COMPLETED GAME AND BONUS

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The main game is about you finding Jessica before time runs out. The bonus is about Nik finding Daria. There is:

* Voiceovers (with dialogue);
* Casual, Advanced, Expert and Custom modes of play;
* Interactive map;
* 9 Achievements (some with 3 squares);
* Find 25 paw prints (in main game only);
* Find 9 Collection Dolls.

The graphics are very good. There is plenty of colour and everywhere is crisp to the eye. I loved roaming around clicking on things to see what they did.

Sound is good and the music is orchestral and creepy sounds.

The hidden object games are mainly slightly interactive straightforward. There is one that you do by torchlight. You will do each HOP once. There are some where you have to find a variety of one item - like batteries, etc. These were fun to do and each one takes only a few minutes. Items are clear to see and grab.

There are a good variety of mini-games to play and I enjoyed them all. I've seen them all before but they were great to play again. None of these are too hard or frustrating and you can get back to the game fairly quickly.

There are 25 paw prints to find. Some of these blended well into the background. A hand DOES NOT comes over them (playing on Expert mode), so that made a good challenge in finding them.

I found I didn't need to use the interactive map at all because there are only a few scenes to accomplish before you move on, so there didn't seem any point in using it.

I managed to get all the achievements, so I'm doing a solo mexican wave here. Some of these were watching the credits, correctly answering 3 questions about the game and getting all the paw prints. So all perfectly well within everyone's reach to get them all.

All up the game and bonus took me about 5 hours or so. I was having such a good time and I was sad when it finished as I wanted to carry on all day.

Overall, a great game to put in your collection. There is plenty to do in each scene and the creepiness factor will keep you on your toes. Well done devs.

Happy playing fishies. Show less

I recommend this game!

A GREAT marriage of story, art and puzzles to make an engrossing game! Very logical progressions with all the elements working together.

I do wish it had the "transport" feature but it doesn't do a lot of backtracking anyway.

I could not wait until this game came out after playing the beta test. I fell in love right away! I love horror games and this was right up my alley. I really do hope they make these into a series. The storyline is fantastic, the graphics perfect and I love the amount of wallpapers to choose from.

I recommend this game!

I had the luck to beta this one and I knew it was going to be great. In fact, it got even better. It took a while to make it to market and the quality of the finished product shows why.

Pros: Great graphics, which we have come to expect from this developer, a really creepy atmosphere, genuine surprises, excellent voice acting. Smooth, snappy game play, certain of the puzzles quite challenging but not impossible. And solid writing with a few twists and a genuinely surprising ending. It would have been a four-star game anyway, but the writing takes it to five and a half.

Cons: one simply awful technical problem with a maze that was corrected by an update. Great maze, incidentally.

Bonus game: oh, yes, it was good! A true extra chapter, not a prequel.

Overall: it was the writing that boosted this one out of the pack and into some really elite company. Can't say enough about the ending; actually, I can't say anything because it would be a terrible spoiler, but it was good, good, good! Even the ending to the bonus game was good. More of this, please! Show less

I recommend this game!

I absolutely loved this game. Like many reviewers, I had been with BFG a long time and have played so many games that were same ole, same ole. I didn't feel this game was that. I found the storyline new and refreshing. It was spooky, but without ghosts, witches, etc.

I absolutely loved this game. Like many reviewers, I had been with BFG a long time and have played so many games that were same ole, same ole. I didn't feel this game was that. I found the storyline new and refreshing. It was spooky, but without ghosts, witches, etc.

The story took you to several locations and not just a scary house. You went many places outside trying to find coffins. It even offers a great maze puzzle where you come across obstacles and have to find something to get you past the blockage. You have mini-mazes doing the same thing in other games, but this one was full screen size and you had to go through it with just your flashlight. I thought that was unique.

I also loved the fact that you didn't keep items in your inventory for long before using. So there wasn't a lot of back and forth trying to remember where you need this new found item. Most often it was close by.

The HOGs and mini-puzzles were varied and fun. The collectables got harder to find (I actually couldn't find two) as you went through the game and the music was nice to listen to.

The Bonus Game continues the story which I really like. So many don't seem to have anything to contribute to the main game, and I don't usually bother to play the bonus chapter. But with this game I was enjoying the game so much I didn't want it to end, and it didn't. :)

We all have our likes and dislikes, but give the game a try. Like me, you might really love it and find it new and refreshing.

Happy Gaming Everyone! Show less
