From Do Games, studio behind the innovative investigations of the Criminal Archives series, a new mystery emerges! Uncover magic, mystery, and secrets in this haunting Hidden-Puzzle Adventure game, Secrets of Salem: Shadow of the Witch!

Step into the dazzling streets of 1950s Salem, a city of towering lights and whispered spells, where glamour masks danger, and magic simmers beneath the surface of modernity.

Dakota, the daughter of a Salem witch, returns to her hometown after receiving a mysterious letter about her mother’s death. Attacked by a shadowy figure, Dakota finds herself mortally wounded and trapped between the world of the living and the spirit realm. Guided by her mother’s friend Sebille, Dakota discovers her magical abilities and learns the killer is hunting witches across Salem.

As a ghost, Dakota uncovers dark rituals, confronts vengeful spirits, and pieces together the attacker's identity. With her body lying in a hospital bed, her soul journeys into Salem’s most haunted places. Will Dakota harness her newfound powers, save her coven, and return to the living - or will she be consumed by the shadows?

This is a special Collector's Edition release full of exclusive extras you won’t find in the standard version.

The Collector’s Edition includes:

  • Challenge your wits with magical mini-games that unlock secrets and advance Dakota’s journey!
  • Solve immersive Hidden Objects Puzzles to uncover vital clues and unravel Salem’s haunting mysteries!
  • Make impactful choices that shape Dakota’s fate, guiding her toward different outcomes!
  • Experience a bonus chapter revealing untold secrets and offering new challenges to uncover!
  • Discover enchanted items and complete achievements that immerse you deeper into Salem’s supernatural world!

Good story line, I like how you chose your own path, but it seems like even if you play multiple times & chose a different answer the path doesn't change much. Level of difficulty is great (I played all levels). Can't wait for the next release!!
I recommend this game!

I enjoy playing games by this developer I struggle with the mini games it makes a change to play games in a new series rather than playing games in an old series I have played many games based on the Salem Witches in the past and this is the newest one that I have played

First off, hats off to "P" being back :) Missed you. This was a good game that really makes you think! But is certainly for adults if I may say. Thanks BF! I'm still looking for the "S" place but can't seem to find it.

I've always liked games and shows about Salem witches, so naturally, I was intrigued by this new Domini game. Their games lately have been so simplistic that I really wasn't expecting much, but to my surprise, it's a decent game. It did start out pretty generic with the usual locked purse, missing zipper pull, rusty latches, missing wheels, valves, and handles on every freakin' door, but then the ...Show more
I've always liked games and shows about Salem witches, so naturally, I was intrigued by this new Domini game. Their games lately have been so simplistic that I really wasn't expecting much, but to my surprise, it's a decent game. It did start out pretty generic with the usual locked purse, missing zipper pull, rusty latches, missing wheels, valves, and handles on every freakin' door, but then the plot took a 180°, and the puzzles became a bit more intense.
 
Dakota returns to her hometown of Salem to attend her mother's funeral when things go from bad to worse. Dakota is mortally wounded by an unknown assailant, trapping her between the land of the living and the spirit realm. 
 
Fortunately, her mother's friend Sebille rushes to Dakota's ghostly aid to guide her and help her identify the person responsible for hunting down the witches of Salem.
 
The only feature I wasn't crazy about was the "Conversation Choices" because it doesn't really change the outcome; it just wastes your time by forcing you to ask meaningless questions that have no bearing on the story.
 
The Hidden Object Scenes were theme-related, and it felt like they contributed to the story, which often isn't the case in a typical Domini Game. Even better, no giant gold stars were awarded afterward! I liked the HOS, where you had to find items that matched the pictures on tarot cards.
 
At first, the mini-games were simplistic and easily solved with just 2-3 moves, but they eventually became more complex. I particularly liked the puzzle where you had to rotate slots and shift the orange and green balls until the slots were filled with green balls. There are several maze-themed puzzles with slightly different mechanics to make them interesting as well.
If you like "Salem-related" games, too, I recommend Lost Chronicles: Salem, Hidden Mysteries: Salem Secrets, or Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials, which are available here on Big Fish as well.
When you finish gaming, head on over to my nature-themed forum for some classic Woodsy excitement and meet fellow BF gamers from across the globe. Chat with devs, gather the latest upcoming game info, or just catch up on the latest forum shenanigans (100% chance of shenanigans). There's always something interesting going on at The Woods, so grab some mallows, pull up a log, pop a squat, and join us for some fun around the campfire @ thewoodsforum.boards.net Show less

Fun game but the hidden object puzzles are blank where the items to find should be listed. Too many glitches with this game right now.

These types of games are as common (and simple) as blades of grass. Some middle-aged misandrist at work, doing what they do best. It really is fodder for housewives and little girls, but as long as I can play for free, oh well.
I don't recommend this game.

So in response to our comments on how we HATE picking from the story they have made it even longer with more steps.
I love BF games, they are a huge part of my life and I can appreciate all that goes into them. But sometimes I feel like they do cruel things to spite us, and this is one of them.
How do they sell these awful pick your story ones? You would think nobody would buy them so they ...Show more
