This one is old in style and game mechanics, more about the HOs and other puzzles than the story. The story is admittedly lame .But it is wrapped around a delirious number of different-styled HOs and puzzles. HOs include listed items, silhouettes, and fragmented HOs and there are quite a lot of easy puzzles – lots of spot the difference for instance.

Too many dialogue balloons slow the game down, but you can click them away. The graphics are fine, clear and easy to see – although some objects are small.

For HO lovers, this game has it all, so if that’s you, why don’t you ignore the critics and give it a whirl. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a weird little game that started out funny; it was like you came in in the middle of a scene and in the middle of a conversation. Once getting past this point, the game evened out.

There is a lot of narrative in this game that sometimes made me shake my head. The saving grace was the number of HOS in the game. If you like to do a lot of HOS, this game is for you.

This is a weird little game that started out funny; it was like you came in in the middle of a scene and in the middle of a conversation. Once getting past this point, the game evened out.

There is a lot of narrative in this game that sometimes made me shake my head. The saving grace was the number of HOS in the game. If you like to do a lot of HOS, this game is for you.

There are two levels of difficulty, with the harder one having timed HOS, with penalties for mis-clicks in the HOS, and slow recharge of the hint/skip button. I started out with the harder level, but after running out of time 3 times on the same HOS (some different items in each one), I gave up and changed to the easier mode.

The items in the scenes are small and hard to see. I ended up using several hints. In one fragmented HOS, it was hard to tell by the pictures exactly what piece I still had to find. I had one piece of a key to find, but could not tell from the pictures which key was missing a part. Since I didn't know what I was looking for, I needed a hint to get past it.

You have to be a serious HOG lover to get past the shortcomings of this game. Being such a person, the preponderance of HOS was right down my alley. The fact that they were not that easy was also a good point. I'll probably use a coupon for it.

But as always, try it before you buy it. Show less

I recommend this game!

I don't know what I expected when I downloaded the demo. Maybe something exciting..or...really, I don't know. All I do know is that this game was awful. You start in the park late in the day (might even be considered night) because your friend lost her earring and wants to find it NOW.

I don't know what I expected when I downloaded the demo. Maybe something exciting..or...really, I don't know. All I do know is that this game was awful. You start in the park late in the day (might even be considered night) because your friend lost her earring and wants to find it NOW. And so, a quick Hidden Object Scene later, your talking again, there's a loud rustle in the bushes, you both get scared and then...vampire shows up with his head in your friend's neck and runs off with her. The next day you head over to a Private Detective after other detectives laugh at your claim...

If you're really interested in this game and want to form your own opinion, I'm begging you to try the demo before you consider buying the game. It might just save your money. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I downloaded this game with an open mind. the screen shots showed the usual HO. I only managed to hang in there for about 10minutes and that was because I kept thinking it would get better. This game is made of up of tons of dialog and HO scenes. I'm sure there are mini games... I didn't make it that far.

I downloaded this game with an open mind. the screen shots showed the usual HO. I only managed to hang in there for about 10minutes and that was because I kept thinking it would get better. This game is made of up of tons of dialog and HO scenes. I'm sure there are mini games... I didn't make it that far. The story line is your friend lost her earring, in a forrest of all places and while looking for it, she is bitten by a vampire and taken away. the scene with the attack by the vampire is very lame. You stand there watching and your friend puts up no fight whatsoever. Hmm So you have to hire the Mystery Agency to find her. Your first task before he will even talk to you is to find the "code". I wish I could have found a saving grace in this game but it just wasn't there! Sorry! Show less

I don't recommend this game.
