PLUS SIDE: Pleasantly surprised by this game, it was lengthy, fun, had LOTS of Hidden Object scenes, and the story kept my attention to the very end. I am now awaiting a sequel! You play as a FBI agent. With your partner, you are assigned to investigate a government-funded scientist who may have gone astray with his paranormal experiments, and may also be involved with your sister's disappearance. ...Show more

PLUS SIDE: Pleasantly surprised by this game, it was lengthy, fun, had LOTS of Hidden Object scenes, and the story kept my attention to the very end. I am now awaiting a sequel! You play as a FBI agent. With your partner, you are assigned to investigate a government-funded scientist who may have gone astray with his paranormal experiments, and may also be involved with your sister's disappearance. The story has some twists and turns at the start that surprised me. The graphics are very well drawn, and the Hidden Object scenes were plentiful. The Hint Button can be used like a Strategy Guide and helped me out when I was stuck. There is a bit of back-and-forth trekking to do within the chapters, but the use of the elevator and the metro train made the trekking more fum for me.

MINUS SIDE: Some of the Hidden Object scenes are very cluttered. However, with patience, you can find all of the items. There were some puzzles, but they were not hard to figure out. The game does involve supernatural elements, as implied by the game title, so players who do not like occult themes may not like this game. Show less

I recommend this game!

Excellent Game! Really Hooked Me

- Very interesting story, well developed
- Excellent graphics
- Great background sound
- HOS not very challenging but with good visual quality (colorful, very good definition)
- Immersive environment
- Suspenseful Atmosphere (I really got a fright in one scene into the crypt!)
Immediately after finishing the free trial, I bought it!

I recommend this game!

Purchased immediately after playing the trial version. Hidden objects placed in well lit scenes with an interesting story line. Detective approached by the FBI to assist them in a situation which will ultimately locate the Detective's sister who had gone missing! Can choose Easy or Normal Mode. Simply a great HOG game to play, relax and enjoy without time constraints.

I recommend this game!

This is a great game, with a really good storyline. Graphics are good and puzzles challenging. The hidden object scenes were fairly clear, but I still had problems locating some objects. While there was some backtracking, it wasn't so much that I lost interest. This game held my interest until the end, which had a surprising twist.

While there was some backtracking, it wasn't so much that I lost interest. This game held my interest until the end, which had a surprising twist. I usually don't like the cut-scene endings, but this one was well thought out and very well done. And maybe leads us to new adventures involving the evil Dr. Brown........... Show less

This is the best game I've played so far. I loved every part of it. Great story line, excellent puzzles, lots of HOS. But what impressed me most was the quality of the hints. When I wasn't sure where to go next, the hint actually told me where to go, instead of just giving a canned response of "nothing left to do here".

When I wasn't sure where to go next, the hint actually told me where to go, instead of just giving a canned response of "nothing left to do here". This was a great help and I did not have to use the walk through or strategy guide at all. The game was so good, I played it all night and could hardly wait to get back to it. Hope I can find more games this good. Show less

This is an excellent game. Thanks BF for offering this for $3.00! I don't know how I missed this game the first time.
The developers had a complete vision. The music, sync sound FX, story, and stereo atmospheres were so well blended.
At first I thought "Oh no! Not another lost sister story!" - but this game breaks all the rules. Don't be fooled - don't treat this game like so many others that look ...Show more

At first I thought "Oh no! Not another lost sister story!" - but this game breaks all the rules. Don't be fooled - don't treat this game like so many others that look like this one! READ all notes and DON'T skip any dialogue! clues,clues,clues!
Yep, there are a ton of locations - but you don 't need a map - the Hint does it all.
Speaking of maps - the map in the subway car can be used to skip to another location even before the map is complete! Cool!
This is a keeper! Show less

Well done. Good story, good length.
A little addicting. Had to get the Doctor. What a rush.
The hint system works well and is fast to recharge.

Really enjoyed this game.

I really enjoyed this game. You play as the sister of an FBI agent who has gone missing. Her partner asks you to help him track down the evil doctor who has kidnapped her. This is an older style game with no voice overs and lots of HOS.

The graphics are good, the cut scenes are informative (no voice overs) and have to be read and the music is okay. There are lots of HOS and most are junk piles, but they are fun to play. There are a few mini games, none of which are difficult. The story is engaging and keeps you moving through the game. There is a journal with helpful information. The hint button is useful, but you won't need it often (if at all).

This game is a change of pace from some of the newer games, but I enjoyed it. The ending was satisfying, but set you up for a sequel.

I recommend this game for those who enjoy playing mainly HOS or those looking for a change of pace from some of the newer games. Show less
