Don't close your eyes, ever again! get ready for the creepy crawlies,and the heebie jeebies because that slimy tentacaled freak, Dr. Blackmoore is back and better than ever. Agent Lloyd has asked for my assistance at 5 Cuckoo street where there is a whole lot of paranormal phenomena occurring at the residence of Dr. Gauss, a psychologist. Strange behavior seems to be the norm ever since the crystal skull once belonging to Morpheus, the god of dreams, was taken. The secret service has equipped us with some goggles that decipher unusual symbols otherwise know as mini games. You have to choose pairs of symbols by matching the last symbol of the first pair and so forth until all boxes are filled and a clue will be revealed. The HOS are mostly interactive, progressive finds but there are list finds as well. The mini game I enjoyed the most was 8 x-rays with crystal skull pictures on 4 different triangles, one of which was taped and couldn't be moved. You could hand one piece up on a clip to free up a space and then you had to pick up one of the triangle pictures and place on a rotation button and rotate until it was in the correct position for completing a skull picture. You can choose your own custom settings of difficulty and the map is located on your computer. If you like games with a paranormal flare then give this one a try, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

Fun and different! (Based on both trials = collect+regular, I just bought this game. OK so how is it radical? Relevant to the total experience or atmosphere of a game, are the features. This is one of two games in recent times that are revolutionary in that they have unique features that I do hope will be incorporated into more games in the future.

With this one you can shorten the time for skip and hints! to 0 seconds! So much more pleasant when skip means skip now not in 5 minutes!

...(the other wonderful new feature noted, (sorry can't remember which game) is having a lighter and knife that you just have with you through everything so you are always equipped! No torture to find the tools you need).

I love this game also because I am a sucker for the cute little animals, and these have definite personalities. Also some unique mini-games...

Definitely a winner! ;o) Show less

I recommend this game!

The puzzles, especially the one with the goggles which is played many times, are unique and refreshing. There is a real sense of humor, like the pepper-eating frog and the fancy flight of the flamingos when they hear bagpipes (guess they're not Scottish). Lovely graphics and artistry. Exceptional production values, as are all the Haunted Halls games. A nice addition to my gamelist. Show less

The music/soundtrack is great. The voiceovers are not bad. The graphics are not the way I like them, they were a little lackluster in some places, but it did not detract from gameplay.

There are several animals and animal helpers in this game: flamingos, a champagne drinking frog, a little penguin cutout, a bird in a nest, a crab that helps you cut things, a hamster in a birdcage, a cat sleeping on a cushioned couch and a little mouse assistant. They are all a lot of fun and enhance the game.

The storyline is excellent if you like dark and creepies as much as I do. Hidden object scenes are different and interactive, a little on the easy side. Mini puzzles were pretty challenging.

I really enjoyed this game. It's a buy for me. Show less

Didn't find it to be too creepy. Well, there WAS that one teddy bear...I just KNOW you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it!

Anyway, the graphics were FABULOUS. The creatures were NUTS! The brains that came up with this game must have VIVID imaginations! They also MUST have had a blast creating it because it IS a bit "out there".

This is a lengthy game but I just COULDN'T STOP playing. Its not really difficult but you may have to think a bit for the "out of the box" solution. GREAT PUZZLES with the option of playing "easy" or "hard". All in all a FUN game.

I got Haunted Halls: Nightmare Dwellers with a game credit but would have been DELIGHTED to pay for this one. Hope you get the chance to enjoy it too! Show less

You find out you are here to investigate a stolen skull of the King of Dreams. He can change reality to dreams. You are a paranormal investigator & the goal is to find the skull. You are given special glasses to use when you see glowing symbols and you have to match several. I loved this.

As the game continues, you get animals for the "zoo". As weird as this game was I was really enjoying all the adorable animals. This DEV has drawing animals down pat! The cut scenes and voice actors were perfect. Under notes is a diary and a (alternative task) jump map. Even the sound effects get an A+.
I ended up buying the CE for the SCREENSAVER. I buy loads of these games yet and haven't had a chance to finish this one yet. When I do I will update it under completed CE.

If you want to just unload daily stress, play this for a while and laugh! Show less

I totally enjoyed playing this game and had a smile on my face most of the time. HOS were easy and somewhat interactive which allowed the game to move along smoothly. Puzzles were fun and inventive and could be a challenge at times, but not to the point of frustration.

Loved the characters, graphics and animations. A fairly long game for a SE with a totally surprising ending. The transporter map at times didn't always work, but it may have been because there was some little detail you didn't pick up on. I did use the hint when this happened to me. I will stress that checking the notes is important. I stalled out on the game once and thought it was a flaw until I checked a blog and found the answer was in my notes...how embarrassing.

Highly recommend and you do get your money's worth. Have a ball with this one. I think the negative reviewers need to chill a bit and pull out a sense of humor. Show less

I love these haunted halls games and this is no exception. I am just surprised that it hasn't got a higher star rating. I bought the standard game and it was a long one. Great graphics (I love the spooky teapots). The games are pleasantly challenging without causing too much of a headache. I can't wait until the next one is released!
