I recommend this game!

Good, long SE game. You are tasked with finding the camera to put the crimson shadow in it. There are a lot of mini-games that are not hard and good hidden objects to find. I especially liked the torch and cave hidden objects.

I recommend this game!

Completed Game approximately 4.0 hours
(including completion of all mini-games & CE Bonus Chapter)
25 Main Game Scene Locations +11 Bonus Chapter
Difficulty Range: Beginner-Intermediate

I did enjoy this new series more than other Domini Games because they shortened the game to 3 Chapters which cut out a ton of repetitive tasks which they always go overboard with. I loved the Witches story vibe which reminded me of my beloved Witches Legacy series #Ele-No Fun-Anymore :( Even though Domini cut out a ton of repetitive tasks, they still opted to cram all the cliche tasks a HOPA gamer knows by heart into a single 3 Chapter game so I cannot reward this game with 5-stars. If they bothered to make these games more interesting instead of being lazy and going with the same mechanics game after game, I'd bother to give them 5-stars for the effort!

Audio/Visuals:
Domini has always had crisp, detailed graphics even though they sometimes struggle with the color palette which tends to have an overabundance of one dominant color for each game. The audio always seems spot on and you'll; probably never notice looped soundtracks, but that's exactly how background music should work, it should go unnoticed while subconsciously stimulating the brain to recognize the ebbs, floes, and climaxes of the storyline. Domini is famous for adding items that can be interacted with, however, they seem to be far and few between in this game!

Gadgets/Helper:
Whoo-hoo, there are no gadgets or helpers!

Collectibles & Morphing Objects (CE Version Only):
It's hard to enjoy a repetitive Collectible offered game after game. Domini seems to be the only kid left on the block so I guess we'll be stuck with the same routines? Once again, there are a gazillion Missing Notes to discover, 15 Morphing Ritual Items, and 15 Horror Books to click on. I say click on versus collect because they are never challenging to find nowadays! There are 70 Zoom Zone Dollars that are used to purchase 15 Writer's Desk Items because everyone loves a messy desk?! There is an optional Collection Icon Tab that can be enabled or disabled in the settings menu as well and will light up when there is a collectible in the current scene. You can also choose to show/hide the availability of collectibles on the Map.

Hidden Object Scenes:
There are 13 Hidden Object Scenes +5 in the CE Bonus Chapter. There is an alternate Match 3 Game available, which still doesn't allow you to make consecutive matches quickly because you have to wait for all tiles to stop falling before you can make the next match which makes the game super boring. The M3 boards are always square and they never add obstacles or new features to make it progress in difficulty. FYI: one of the achievements requires you to play the alternate Match 3 game in place of the HOS. (just once) The Hidden Object Scenes vary with Listed Item Finds, Keywords in Sentence Finds over 3 different scenes, Silhouetted Shape Finds, Placing cutouts over the Matching Objects, and placing ritual objects onto numbers on the board according to riddle descriptions.

Mini-Games:
There are 18 Mini-Games +8 in the CE Bonus Chapter. You can choose to play them in an Easy or Hard difficulty mode and you can choose which mode to have them start out in the Custom Setting (you can still switch between modes for each individual game) I didn't encounter any new puzzles, they were all revamped mini-games you've solved a hundred times, such as, pushing frames along a track in the correct order, Rotating individual letters so that when you click the play button they spin into their slots correctly, climb out of a chasm by selecting the correct rocks or sticks to grab (how many times have we played this game!) and no Domini game would be complete without removing vines in the correct sequence!

Bonus Chapter (CE Version Only)
Wind back the hand of time playing as a young Deborah Spellman who is raised by her Grandmother after her parents' death. Learn how Deborah and her sister Lilith were inducted into the Order of Witches and the trials and tribulations of their stolen childhood and how they became the adults they were in the main game. There are 8 additional Mini-Games and 5 Hidden Object Scenes, and you will continue your search for the final Ritual Items, Horror Books, and Zoom Zone Dollars which allows you to purchase the final Writer's Desk Items.

Collector's Edition Extra's: (CE version only)
8 Wallpapers, 11 Concept Art Pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 27 Movie Video Cutscenes, 38 Achievements, 19 Replayable Mini-Games, 18 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 15 Morphing Ritual Items, 15 Horror Books, a gazillion Missing Notes, 70 Zoom-Zone Dollars, 15 Writers Desk Items (purchase with dollars) 3 Main Chapters, +Bonus Chapter, and a Built-In Strategy Guide.

Picture and sound are similar to other games of this type but I experienced glitches and the story line was really not that interesting.

I don't recommend this game.

WHAT is with the animation every time you click?

I couldn't even play for 5 minutes, WHAT is Domini thinking of adding the stupid spinning circle every time you click on anything? The stupid game cursers are bad enough but at least you can turn those off, as far as i am concerned it is NOT playable just because of this,

I don't recommend this game.
