Wow, I didn't really expect much with the reviews that were posted, but I absolutely loved this game! Mind you, I own and have played probably close to 75 HOG and Adventure games, so I have a lot to compare to. This had everything I look for in a game.

Wow, I didn't really expect much with the reviews that were posted, but I absolutely loved this game!

It had plenty of hidden object scenes, lots of fun puzzles (that weren't too difficult, but fun), lots of different areas to cover, and the graphics were very nice. Oh, and the game was very very long! I don't pay too much attention to the storyline, so I can't tell you much about that. They all seem to be either crime or sci-fi mythical themes, so I just enjoy the adventure. Thanks so much, ERS games!! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a great game from ERS, but aren't all of their games so much fun. It is fast paced, the hint button can recharge in 5 seconds and the graphics are very nice and pleasant.
The music is nice and I just like it as a senior citizen game player. Try it and see for yourself at no cost. I bought it after 15 minutes of play without a shadow of doubt on the quality of the game.

I recommend this game!

Love this game, as always it's another jewel from ERS.
As a Standard version you have to think a bit more without a strategy guide but it's not so hard you give up in frustration.
The story is great fun, little bits of humor here and there make it fun and just keeps you engaged. The game moves along at a nice pace, lots to find and do and not totally HO. The voice overs are great as well; the ...Show more

ERS has done a great job of keeping it moving and not repetitious. Fun Game, give it a try. Show less

I really loved the scenes in this game. The artwork was nice. The story line was refreshing. In the end of the game you do have to make a choice. One either to do your job as a detective and ignore your duties or to allow the Viking lady to reunite with her husband. I made the right choice in the end.

I totally love the replay value on that. Then I would want to play back through and make the alternate choice to see what would happen then.
I loved all of the mini games and HOS. Glad I bought this game. It was a bit short. I think it might work out to about 4 hours straight. Show less

You have been sent to Meadows Town to replace Sheriff Dugan who has been missing for several days, but nobody told you the town was haunted and cursed! The town has been evacuated because of a violent storm by the time you arrive, most of the townsfolk believe a Viking curse is the reason behind all this madness and you are beginning to believe them, after all an angry ghost has threatened your life several times now! The Sheriff is missing, a school teacher dead, the coroner, dead, the bartender, dead, you're next!

The former Sheriff must have feared the paranormal because he was in possession of a Spirit Detector that locates ghostly energy and sends the spirits packing to wherever spirits belong, this device will surely come in handy in this town. You will also borrow Sheriff Dugans evidence board that can be accessed anytime by clicking on the Sheriff's Badge to the left of the inventory bar. The evidence board is actually a mini game where you post files, pictures, background information and any evidence you find. Once you hang up the main character files, you hang other information directly below the character for which the evidence applies to, and green lines will automatically make the connections between the evidence and explain the connections.

Surprisingly, there aren't a lot of Hidden Object Scenes in this game which is unusual for this developer, but they are nicely done with a newer concept. You will need to find two items at a time, such as 2 hats, 2 cards or two dryers, in other words if you click on the first hat, you will have to find and click on the second hat to create that pair even though they aren't identical items. You can opt for an alternative puzzle where you guide dominos with two symbols by using left and right arrows as they drop automatically. When at least 3 of the same image are joined, those matched will be eliminated which counts as an item found on the Hidden Object Scene. There really aren't many puzzles or mini games either, but there are lot's of items to pick up and use in each scene. The mini games I liked the best were clicking on the teeth of a skeleton to make them all recede, when you click on one tooth, other teeth were affected as well. There was a phone with 12 blank buttons that you had to first figure out which buttons represented which numbers or symbols and then click on the correct buttons that matched the code you had written down.

I haven't yet played the Collectors Edition for this game so I can't honestly suggest one over the other, but this Standard Edition doesn't seem to be lacking anything that I noticed, I enjoyed playing the game, it has a good entertainment value and a good storyline, although I would have been happier with a few more HOS and more mini games, enjoy!

Is it perfect? No. But it is interesting and fun. It does make you think. Visually appealing. Music is not annoying. Like the voices and story line. Just a shade different. I bought it.
