Why this game has been overlooked and isn't in the Top 10 is beyond me. I'm a huge fan of eerily based HOGs such as the Mystery Trackers, Shiver, MCF, etc... and this one is right up there if not better. The graphics are great, the gameplay is top-notch, the puzzles aren't overly complicated (and NO sliders), the music sets a perfect mood and the "Evidence Board" is a stroke of genius!

Why this game has been overlooked and isn't in the Top 10 is beyond me. I'm a huge fan of eerily based HOGs such as the Mystery Trackers, Shiver, MCF, etc... and this one is right up there if not better. The graphics are great, the gameplay is top-notch, the puzzles aren't overly complicated (and NO sliders), the music sets a perfect mood and the "Evidence Board" is a stroke of genius! Maybe the title threw people off or maybe they've been burned too much in the past with these types of HOGs but you owe it to yourselves to check out this game! Play the demo for a few minutes and you'll see for yourselves. And I see that the CE is on sale now for $13.99. I don't regret paying the higher price one bit. The bonus chapter is fun too and you get to replay the hidden object scenes over and over. I don't normally review games, this is my first, but I had to express my absolute love for this game. Can't wait for the next one! Show less

I recommend this game!

Relaxing game to play. The HOS are not all that difficult but do have to look good, The puzzles are good. I like that you have a map so if you are unsure of what to do next you can use it for help. Pretty fun game to play.

I recommend this game!

You play a detective assigned to investigate the disappearance of a girl in a remote little town in Vermont. While you are there a storm hits and you are cut off from civilization. You find out that more people have disappeared in the past. Why are people running around like Zombies when the bell tolls? Can you save the girl?

The Good.

+ very decent game length
+ very well done cutscenes
+ beautiful graphics
+ evidence board
+ tough HO scenes (for me, even though objects are mainly hidden in plain view)
+ map shows where to go next (only in regular mode), and you will need that feature!
+ the game managed to scare me twice
+ voiceovers
+ items are not put back into HO scenes

The Neutral:

o sound effects do not update (the bell still tolls after it's destroyed)

The Bad:

- too much running back and forth (especially through the inn to the farm - a quick travel function really would have helped)
- culprit not very threatening (you actually only meet him once) - no trapping, no locking up somewhere

Bonus Content: The bonus chapter deals with the missing girl 30 years ago and is not necessary to understand the game. Compared to the regular game this seems very short in comparison. Other stuff: The usual wallpapers and concept art. You can also replay the cutscenes and all the HO scenes (changing object lists, no find all).

Bottom Line. See all the plusses? They more than weigh out the minusses, so go, play the game yourself! Show less

I recommend this game!

I loved this game from day 1. What a great, creepy storyline, set in remote gorgeous Vermont. The cutscene for starters, also great. I'd buy this for all my devices. Andoid included if if was avail. I'm a real gaming junky and this is still one of my tops.

If you liked this, you will probably like: Hallowed Legends Samhain

I recommend this game!

I'm a big fan of the second edition of Enigmatis, The Mists of Ravenwood, but for whatever reason, I never made it past the demo hour with this game. Long story short, I bought this game, the demo just doesn't serve this game justice, it's fantastic.

I'm a big fan of the second edition of Enigmatis, The Mists of Ravenwood, but for whatever reason, I never made it past the demo hour with this game. Long story short, I bought this game, the demo just doesn't serve this game justice, it's fantastic. You were investigating the case of a missing girl in the sleepy little town of Maple Creek, when a tornado rips through the town. Thank goodness you're unharmed, but your memory is still fuzzy, leaving you no choice but to piece the evidence back together, and the evidence is staggering. Turns out there have been multiple missing persons reports dating back over the past 80 years! You've got your work cut out for you on this investigation, can you solve the case of all of these missing people, detective?

As you re-collect the evidence the tornado has spewn about Maple Creek, you will use your Motel wall as a makeshift Evidence Board. After sorting through the paperwork, and placing the collected evidence in the correct spots, you will be able to make a deduction about that particular scenario, and eventually solve the case. There aren't a lot of frills with this game, but for an older game, the graphics are decent and doesn't seem "dated" like some games you re-visit.

The Hidden Object Scenes are all Listed word finds, with slight interactions where you click on an item to open it up, which exposes the object needed. All of the HO scenes are repeated once, which is a feature I really don't like because the items are too easy to find a second time around and it's boring. The Mini Games are fun, mostly comprised of puzzle tikes, swapping tiles or rotating tiles to complete a picture.

This Collectors Edition has Concept Art, Wallpapers, re-playable Hidden Object Scenes, Videos, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Adventure, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a brilliant game. The best Big Fish game I've played so far, and I've played about 20-25 to date. So fun, and interesting, with lots to do, and the added bit of piecing together clues and photos on an evidence wall adds a bit more to an otherwise normal puzzle/H0 adventure. Its a really good length game too, took me several evenings. Definitely highly recommended!

I recommend this game!

This was by far the best game I have ever downloaded from BFG. Just the right amount of challenge and the fun lasted a long while. Would love to play another one by the same developers.
