I must say I'm a bit surprised that I didn't see more of a buzz when this was first released.

I must say I'm a bit surprised that I didn't see more of a buzz when this was first released.

Exorcist is an interactive hidden object game with an interesting story and nice graphics. The voice overs are very well done, and I love the font (style of writing) they chose to use during the cut scenes.

The hidden objects are all story-appropriate, and some are devilishly hidden. Impossible? Not enough that I was totally frustrated. Definitely difficult to find sometimes, though. Find items on a list, occasionally by sketch (more than a silhouette, but not quite a picture of the item). Puzzles and interaction throughout.

This game isn't as straightforward as some IHOG's. You have to figure out what you're supposed to be doing sometimes, and I like that - makes you think. Once you get the hang of what the developers are trying to do, it gets easier and more intuitive.

Formulaic in that you skip between three scenes, then move on to a set of three new scenes. Movement is done via clicking on a picture of the location you wish to go to or by using the "footsteps" cursor.

Something different that makes you think, nice environmental combination of graphics and sound effects and eerie without being disturbing. A solid thumbs up from me. I purchased after the first chapter and enjoyed it all the way through to the end. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a very scary hidden object game, in a fun way . . . ! The story line is fairly linear, with an interesting grand finish . . . There are various types of hidden object scenes, including straight search & find from a list (word or picture), as well as fragmented objects that are pieced together to interact with the current scene, or to help unlock hidden objects in other places . . . These fragmented objects, at times, help to solve puzzles, which, for the most part, are all of moderate difficulty, & can be skipped after a time interval . . .

My only complaint is that the graphics are at times dark, as befits the theme of the story line, which makes finding some objects difficult . . .

All in all, with a fairly good hint system, this a cool game to play . . . Show less

I recommend this game!

I really liked playing this game as the voice-overs are GREAT and the script was in perfect sync with the dialogue. What I didn't understand was the reason behind the ghostfigher's girlfriend's ghost being unable to verbalize.

It may sound silly but I was intrigued as to the RESPECT that the ghostfighter was given by the local people; nowadays, sadly, many are ridiculed as there are so many frauds attempting to scam people.

While, at times, the hidden objects were difficult to find I found that for the most part this game was easy to follow along with and follow through with as to the tasks needed to be accomplished to move on with the game.

I also found that I was not getting lost in having to run back and forth to "parts unknown and known" to ascertain what to do or where to go to do it. Though there was some moving back and forth, it was contained enough to know that whatever object(s) you'd picked up, you knew what location to head for to use said objects. Show less

I recommend this game!

I don't know why this game is getting some low reviews. I enjoyed the challenges that this game presented. I was frustrated with myself for having to use the hint more than I ever wanted.

The game presented a great storyline that was haunting to say the least. The storyline was great as well at the cut scenes.

The actual hidden objects were very well hidden. I became frustrated with not being able to locate a few items, therefore having to use the hint. The hint does recharge itself fairly fast, so, there is no extremely long waits.

The games were pretty easy. Not once did I need to skip any of through any of the games.

In all this was a great challenging game. I was shocked to see such low reviews. I'm going to have to replay this game just to say I didn't need the hints! Show less

I recommend this game!

I've seen this game often times and passed due to the fright level. I don't believe any other game could ever shock or scare me as Dracula: Origin--which I just completed.

Exorcist invokes fright with no comparison and this is not an easy game and you can't just whisk through it--which I like a challenge. Objects are challenging, yet, can be seen and the Hint system is generous. Enjoyed the mysterious, and intriguing story as well as the excellent voice overs added more depth to game playing.

I know many BFG Members are very brave and courageous, however, these types of games give me quite a scare and I frequently stop and walk away. Been doing that a lot lately.

If you like a challenge with a bit of fright, this is a good game.

Anyway, back to the game as I did the old "walk away" so as to write a brief review.

Enjoy! -Mama Mia- Show less

BASED ON COMPLETED GAME

I have some odd games in my collection, I’m something of a fan of the unusual, and this one rates very high billing on the quirk-o-meter. Its two brothers in the same series are, in their way, also odd, and the three together make a lovely trio of eccentricity.

The STORY is fairly straightforward, at least at first. You are an exorcist, in pursuit of an evil being calling himself Mephisto, who is taunting you by cursing places that have meaning for you, and leaving havoc behind him. You must exorcise his pet demons while tracking him down. So far, so good. Later on, things will get a little weirder and a lot more personal.

Where you first notice the difference from other games is in the INITIAL GAMEPLAY. The gameplay actually EVOLVES as the game progresses, changing a couple of times before you finish.

This is a HOG with a FEW SIMPLE PUZZLES to break up the game. The location you are in is the HO SCENE, with 2 or 3 HOT SPOTS where close ups or puzzles help you get some of the items on your list. The LIST is your standard, slightly INTERACTIVE, although less so than most now.

Sounds straightforward enough, right? Yet somehow when you’re playing it, all this gets very strange, as the LIST changes to MULTIPLES OF, then LIGHT SKETCHES of the items needed. You need to BUILD your demon-fighting equipment from items in the area, and exorcise each demon by a different method. And REPAIR machines or other items that have been damaged, while collecting pieces of the clues left behind for you by Mephisto.

Some of the things I really like about this game are more commonly acknowledged positives. There is quite a lot of VOICEOVERS in this game, and they are, in their way, well done. Or well over-done. I always get a kick out of the accents. And the SCREAMS & LAUGHTER are a nice touch.

The GRAPHICS are okay. Nothing to write home about, but on my large monitor they still come up okay. The scenes are mostly static, although the ticket office scene is interesting...

You travel from catastrophe to catastrophe by carriage, and the transition is done very very well.

The game is also quite LONG, as there are many twists and turns in the story and some interesting revelations to come.
If you care for something outside the norm, this is an fine choice! Show less

I recommend this game!

This was a game that got better as it went along. It starts out ok but the creepy factor builds right up to the end. It is middle difficulty, and has a great story line, and good voice work.
