I RARELY purchase games, but the trial was enough to intrigue me. I loved playing this game. The graphics were great. The storyline was entertaining. Overall, this was worth every penny.

I recommend this game!

REVIEW BASED UPON THE ENTIRE GAME
4 Chapters Plus a Bonus Chapter – Strategy Guide: 38 pages (My Time: 7 Hours)

STORY: Join childhood sweethearts, Kane and Katrin as they battle The Headless Horseman, a supernatural being who is victimizing the town of Sleepy Hollow. As a former FBI agent from New York, Kane has been asked by childhood friend Katrin for his help in investigating the mystery behind this case. Is this supernatural being controlled by the witches in the area in an act of revenge, or is there another vengeful entity behind these murders?

OPINION: I found this another fantastic game in this series. Domini is my favorite developer and always provides more game for the money. For me, this is one of their better offerings. The story is a loosely based variation of the Washington Irving classic, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” This is another tag team event in which the player will portray both Kane and Katrin as they work together to solve this whodunit.

I found the game an easy play with no errors. This game follows the same format as in this developer’s other games. The graphics are colorful and reflect the atmosphere of 18th century New England. This developer’s trademark colors of vivid purple and neon green are evident throughout the game; however, they are more subtle than in many of their previous games. There are the same number of collectibles (three) as in past games. I found the collectibles easy to locate within most scenes; however, there were some which I found well-hidden. Personally, I do not like collecting coins, stones, or anything else to exchange for items to place in some room or location. I do wish this developer would discontinue this from their games.

MECHANICS:

• Four (4) levels of play including a customized version.
• 38 achievements.
• 34 Scenes.
• Collect 15 items for a witch’s toolbox, 15 morphing insects, and 70 stones to exchange for items for the Mayor’s Room.
• 15 Wallpapers along with concept art, music, and video sequences.
• Replay 18 HOP scenes and 18 mini-games.

BONUS CHAPTER: It is a sequel. Play Katrin from the main game as she battles Ragehild, and evil witch out for revenge. Save Kane before she turns him into the next Headless Horseman! I found this a long chapter and an excellent addition to the game. There are five (5) HOP scenes and seven (7) mini-games within the chapter. The pace is good, and I found both the puzzles and the HOP scenes creatively designed. This is a nice addition to the game and worthy of a collector’s edition designation.

HOP SCENES: There are eighteen (18) scenes, and all can be replayed at the end of the game. For a developer who is best known for their puzzles, the HOP scenes within this game are creatively designed. There are many different styles besides the standard list of items and silhouette. There are two with rebus clues (each in a different format). There is a spot-the-difference scene, a couple pattern scenes in which items are located based on a small segment of that item, and matching. My favorite is an interactive scene in which items are located sequentially and then used within the scene to further the search. As in their other games, there is a thematic Match-3 game which can be played instead of the scenes.

MINI-GAMES: There are twenty-seven (27) and eighteen (18) can be replayed at the end of the game. Most of the puzzles have the option to be played in either an “easy” or a “hard” mode. This option can be set in the menu; however, it can be changed while playing the game. It was a treat for me to see a nonogram puzzle within a HOPA game. Not often do developers use this puzzle within their games. It is one of my favorite genres and enjoyed playing the two provided.

SPOILERS: HERE ARE SOME OF THE MINI-GAMES AFTER THE DEMO: (E = Easy; H = Hard)

A. E/H. Maze puzzle. Move a key through a circular maze avoiding blocks with directional arrows written upon them. The arrows indicate the direction the block moves. If the key runs into a block, the game must be restarted. The hard version has more blocks within the circular grid.
B. Nonogram puzzle. One of my personal favorites. Enter colors into 2 nonogram grids to create pictures based upon numbers at the side and top of the grid. 2X
C. E/H. Switch puzzle. Switch photograph pieces to restore 3 images The hard version has more pieces to place
D. E/H. Gear puzzle. Place gears into a grid so all connect with each other and rotate. The harder version has more gears to place into the grid.
E. Assembly puzzle. Follow a recipe to bake bread.
F. E/H Switch puzzle. Switch the numbers on a clock so the numbers are properly located. The hard version has Roman numerals instead of digits.
G. E/H. Connection puzzle. Rotate squares with pieces of pipe on them to make a connection from a skull to a point on the opposite end.
BONUS CHAPTER:
H. E/H. Connection puzzle. Guide butterflies to a slot of a matching color without being eaten by a big ole spider.
I. Picture puzzles. Create images from 4 difference puzzles, each designed differently.
J. E/H. Checkers Puzzle. Remove all red tokens by jumping over them. The hard version has a 5 x 5 grid. The easy version has a 3 x3 grid. Show less

I have played hundreds of games from the Big Fish site over the years, but this is the first review I have ever written. I enjoyed this game so much that I had to take the time to review it. The graphics were gorgeous, and the storyline was interesting. They did a great job of adding a bit of a twist to the Sleepy Hollow movie's plot, the one starring Johnny Depp. The puzzles were challenging without being frustrating and, being able to play from more than one perspective was a nice touch. I highly recommend this game! Show less

Very good game.
Graphic's were different reminded me of the old Scooby Doo cartoons but with more detail.
Storyline was different . One looks for items but not to many but more puzzles it seems.
The headless horseman seem to not have much of a roll. The voice actors were good but not to much banter.
Try the demo as the game is pretty much the same vibe though out in other words if you like ...Show more

Try the demo as the game is pretty much the same vibe though out in other words if you like the demo the rest of the game will be as enjoyable .
Bonus game is good with a good length in time. Most bonus games are a little different but this one seems to be just another part of the game.
The Collector items were many and not to hard to find. I found all of these which might be the first for me. Show less

I love Domini Games and the Dark Romances are the best. This follows the Legend of Sleepy Hollow story line with a few twists, turns, and new characters thrown in. As much fun for a beginner like me as for an experienced gamer like my daughter.

I recommend this game!

I've enjoyed and beaten all of the games in this series so far and this has been no different. My only complaint is that they removed some functionality. You can no longer look at your collections from the buttons while playing. I had to go to the main menu and dig for it any time I bought the decorations for the mayor's room or wanted to read about the witch's toolkit items. Gameplay is smooth but some of the puzzles are a little obtuse or tedious, like finding rakes over and over again or being unable to scoop water out of a bucket even with a scoop in hand because you have to...make a whole vase out of clay for it? But those are pretty standard flaws in this genre so I can't complain too much.

Any one of the Dark Romance games is worth the purchase in my opinion. Show less

This game has a nice dark feel to it. Music is haunting and not overbearing; music can ruin a game. Although the story has been told many times, it never grows old. The graphics, are solid and the feel of impending doom (thanks to the music) is right at the back of your neck. I recommend highly!

I recommend this game!
