I wasn't sure this would be my kind of game - I favour those with realistic graphics, rather than obviously drawn ones - but the visuals were definitely part of the fun.

I wasn't sure this would be my kind of game - I favour those with realistic graphics, rather than obviously drawn ones - but the visuals were definitely part of the fun.

From the title, I was a bit uncertain whether it was aimed at kids. Definitely not. This is very much an mature audiences game.

I did find it a little difficult at first to get into it, because I stumbled around blindly for a while but helpful hints sorted me out. Soon I was looking up and realising I'd forgotten to eat for hours. I didn't move from my pc until I'd finished the whole game.

What I think I liked most was the creepiness and the story. You just know some of the decisions made in the game are gonna turn out badly and there's almost an anxiety about how it is going to all work out.

I'll definitely be playing this one again, and again, and again... Show less

I recommend this game!

WOW!! I just demoed this game on casual mode, and all I can say is WOW! My first thought when I began playing was CREEEEEEPYYYYYY!!! In a good way!! The graphics are superb, even in HOS! I really like some of the puzzles, that make you search for, and figure out what items to use in the scene to unlock all of the different puzzle locks!! That was a GREAT, and really fun twist!

WOW!! I just demoed this game on casual mode, and all I can say is WOW! My first thought when I began playing was CREEEEEEPYYYYYY!!! In a good way!! The graphics are superb, even in HOS! I really like some of the puzzles, that make you search for, and figure out what items to use in the scene to unlock all of the different puzzle locks!! That was a GREAT, and really fun twist! Plus finding morphing objects, and dolls to put in the dollhouse. As you find the dolls the story unfolds! The story line is just captivating, and intriguing! The little things that make you jump are a nice touch too!

The game play is smooth, and linear. The music is okay, and the sound effects can be scary, obtrusive, and annoying at times. There are no voice overs, just text, and you'd better be able to read quickly! The HOS are clear and crisp, but some of the HO are small. Small...but not impossible to find. The map is wonderful! It distinctly shows where you are, where there are things to do, and scenes you will have to go back to later! The hints are very helpful as well, and recharge quickly. You won't get stuck for long, as long as you use the map!! The notebook records all pertinent info for puzzles and such that you find throughout the game.

This is NOT a game for kids, at all! It is however a very well thought out game, and created with care! The developers, artists, etc. should be commended!! If you don't like dolls, bugs, clowns, etc., you may not fully appreciate this game. I found the little handmade doll that helps you throughout the game to be creepy. All in all, I think all types and skill levels of adult players should at least give it a try! I'll be buying this one! Show less

I recommend this game!

I bought this on Amazon and as soon as I beat it, I had to go looking for more because I had become an instant addict.

The only bad thing is that I've been hard pressed to find other Hidden Object games that feel even close to this. Twisted lands: Shadow Town and Twisted Lands: Insomniac are the other two that are as superb as this one.

Wonderful stylistic art, crisp graphics with solid images ...Show more

Wonderful stylistic art, crisp graphics with solid images and a nice mood that is a bit dark and disturbing.

Gave it a 4 for challenge because while I enjoyed the game immensely, it was not particularly hard. But I like it that way really. Show less

This game is great. I love the handmade doll that helps you along the way. He is so cute! Graphics are great. I love the darkness of the game. And it's creepy, with spiders and clowns. Great puzzles to keep you thinking. If I have to find something bad about the game it would be that it is too short, but hey....I can always play it again and again and again.

Nice visual and sound effect. Good story. I was a little concern it would be too scary, but it turns out everything is fine. The puzzles are interesting and challenging. Good thing is you can always use the hint to help.
It could be better if the story was a little longer. It wasn't enough fun!

I recommend this game!

What a fun game. You feel sorry for the victim an want to complete the game to help him. Good HO and keep you going finding clues to solve areas. If you get stuck the hints are good.

I recommend this game!
