Loving this game so far because it's DIFFERENT than the usual HOPA and challenging but I think I would have purchased it anyway just to welcome Telltale Games because we have been hurting for lack of developers. So WELCOME Telltale and hope to see more of you soon!

I recommend this game!

Quite the reverse to the first review I am refreshed that at last we have a good lengthy game worthy of a CE edition. I will not review further given you have quite a helpful review already on the game but I thank the developers for considering the difference in price of a CE and therefore ther merits of a longer game.

I recommend this game!

"AD REM" is something that appears very shortly after the beginning of the adventure, and I was completely hooked. The only reason I played the entire 30 minute demo was to see if they actually meant a whole 30 minutes, and yes they did! Dang I love honesty. The so-called 60 minute demos seldom deliver 60 minutes - more like 40-45.

"AD REM" is something that appears very shortly after the beginning of the adventure, and I was completely hooked. The only reason I played the entire 30 minute demo was to see if they actually meant a whole 30 minutes, and yes they did! Dang I love honesty. The so-called 60 minute demos seldom deliver 60 minutes - more like 40-45.

I've seen other reviewers say that this is a long game. For me, it was way too short. Couldn't believe it when I saw the end game approaching.

I. INCREDIBLY COOL

1. The word "somehow" is nowhere to be found in the main game, and only once in the bonus. (Bless you Telltale and Wonderland teams)

2. There is only one short scene that involves feeding the beastie. It's over before you know it. (Bless you again, Telltale and Wonderland teams)

3. Whoever wrote the script for our heroine did a great job. Loved it.

4. The acting works for me - not great, but fits in with the game just fine.

5. As for the gameplay - the first scene in the adventure takes you on a whole new trip. No same-old same-olds, except for one in-scene mini-game that runs throughout the story, and it's a fav I've been missing for a long time . You cannot play this game in your sleep. Every nook and cranny has a little discovery, and if something nags at you to click somewhere, do it.

II. NOT SO COOL

1. While the dialogue scripts are great, the helpful texts and HO texts are occasionally way off the mark. They should have been checked with the UK team (Telltale) before being added in. Or the UK team should have fixed it. So often QC only checks game play, skimming over the text or completely ignoring it.

2. In the silhouette HO's, the silhouettes are black on a dark green background. For me, it was impossible to figure out what some of the images were supposed to be, so I merely clicked on the usual suspects, which worked fine.

3. FOR TELLTALE AND WONDERLAND: that item you have us put on the xxxx is NOT A PAPERWEIGHT. It's an ink blotter and only weighs a few ounces of wood, carboard, and blotting material. Please pass the word so that your colleagues will stop using the dang thing to hammer nails and weigh stuff down, like ropes and chains.

For my fellow gamers: enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

It is not Jane Austen, in spite of the title (and of Jane Austen's work it would be closer to Northanger Abbey's Gothic mood than Pride and Prejudice),it does not offer an hour long trial run, and it does not quite work in the way of the games we complain of as mindless but have grown accustomed to. something new! "Fascinating!" as Mr. Spock would say and then also maybe you will join me in feeling a real delight! Show less

While the sound is truly awful... the rest of the game is so refreshingly new and different that it's worth dealing with that. Hopefully the devs will take heed and work on their sound quality because with that corrected it could be spectacular.

While the sound is truly awful... the rest of the game is so refreshingly new and different that it's worth dealing with that. Hopefully the devs will take heed and work on their sound quality because with that corrected it could be spectacular. I also HATE that BFG lists "visual/sound quality" as a single star rating since you can have excellent visuals with lousy sound or vice versa...I rated that star poor but still loved the game so overall gave five stars aka: loved it.

There are already a couple reviews that list details so won't go into that. But the puzzles are challenging and some of them really made me think hard! That's a nice change from the usual tic-tac-toe level of puzzles in games these days.

This was an easy buy, especially with the current BOGO sale running. Give it a shot and if the sound is bothersome turn it off... the game is worth it. =)

PS: Bonus points for spelling whoa correctly... the word "woah" doesn't exist unless you're Joey Lawrence. HAHA Show less

Yeah to the developers. I had so much fun playing this game. I've played some games lately that I could care less if I finished (got them with a BOGO), but not this game. I experienced some new features while playing. Not sure why it's getting many bad reviews. To each his/her own. Give it a try.

I recommend this game!

I enjoy playing games from certain developers especially new developers. I Found this game suited me because I have played similar games in the past where I find objects to go around a circle. I also liked it because it was a large game for me to play with great graphics. I am used to an hour but this will do to pass a bit of time on

I recommend this game!

Completed Game approximately 6.0 Hours
(including completion of all puzzles & Bonus Chapter
15 Scene Locations +8 CE Bonus Chapter
Difficulty Range: Intermediate-Advanced

Okay, the acting is a bit dreadful, but the storyline does get more interesting after the short demo! The storyline wasn't what piqued my interest, the fact that this wasn't a cookie-cutter game, the fact that I had to think about what to do and where to go was what totally floored me for the first time in years! Unlike the developer whose games we have been playing every single week with the same repetitive tasks, where you know where every zoom zone is located, and what every single item is used for and where you will use it the second you pick it up, this developer spent a lot of time and effort to purposely create a game that makes you think! Bravo Telltale games, you have impressed me beyond expectations, something no other developer has been able to do in years! If the HO's & Mini-games were replayable and the acting was a bit more polished, I'd have given this game 5-stars but I am a fan and will purchase any and all future games that you create...thank you for renewing my faith and putting the joy back into my HOPA game experience! :)

Morphing Objects/Collectibles (CE version only)
Each of the 23 Scenes, throughout the Main Game and Bonus Chapter, has at least 1 fairly well hidden Collectible Bat. I loved this collectible! Unfortunately, there are no Morphing Objects, which is a shame because I think this developer could have pulled off a non-linear Morphing Object quite well!

Graphics/Audio/Video
The graphics are decent, I love dark and dreary and I love vampire stories! The acting was a bit weird and the story could use some polishing around the edges to make it a bit more natural, but I can deal with a less than stellar plot when the game itself is not a cookie-cutter like all the other developers (1 D in particular!) The audio only had 4 tracks but I didn't notice anything repetitive, which is the point, it shouldn't be noticeable!

Hidden Object Scenes:
There are 15 Hidden Object Scenes and 41 Smaller Zoom Zone HOP's +8 HOP's & 17 Mini HOP's in the CE Bonus Chapter. Some of the inventory items must be collected as 4-5 fragments around the scene in an old-school style of Circles that pop up, requiring you to find & place the fragments into the correct circle with a silhouette. None of the objects are obvious to spot. The regular HO's were simply amazing! For the first time in years, I had difficulty with knowing where to place the items, they weren't difficult to find, they were difficult to figure out where they went and I loved it! You may be required to place candles with symbols onto their matching candlesticks...not as easy as it sounds! You may have to straighten up a room as Cathrine tells you what needs to be done one sentence at a time, they aren't ordinary cookie-cutter HO's...and I loved them!

Mini-Games:
There are 17 Mini-Games +8 in the CE Bonus Chapter. The mini-games weren't as good as the HOP's but they weren't bad either. I loved that some games required you to remember a clue you saw earlier versus posting a sticky note with the code etc. Here are a few examples of the games you'll come across:

1-Swap pie-shaped pieces correctly.
2-Move a flower to the end of the path according to the direction of the arrows shown.
3-Navigate a labyrinth by selecting directional arrows using a map.
4-Repeat the music by selecting the same piano keys demonstrated.
5-Swap sections of hexagonal pieces correctly using the points that are stationary as a starting point.

5-Set the position of several bats using partial clue images.

Bonus Chapter: (CE version only)
Elizabeth returns to Lady Catharine's manor to help her become human again after she realizes the consequences of immortality. This is an average-length Chapter spanning 8 scene locations with 8 HOP's & 17 Mini HOP's, and 8 mini-games. You will continue to search for the final 13 Bats as well.

Collector's Edition Extra's:
7 Wallpapers that are beautiful! 4 Music Soundtracks, and 15 replayable Movie Video Cutscenes, 15 Achievements, 34 Collectible Bats, 3 Main Chapters (very long chapters) +Bonus Chapter, and a Built-In Strategy Guide. Please join us at my new forum at thewoodsforum.boards.net where you can find my series lists, talk about the games and so much more! Show less

I recommend this game!
