The townspeople of Riddlestone has always been known for their virtues until the seven deadly sins take up residency and seed those sins roots deep within the citizens and the Royal Family, making chaos the norm. Fighting sins such Greed, Envy, Jealousy, and Gluttony won't be easy but you have found a powerful crystal and you are learning how to recharge and use this powerful weapon against these sins. This game has been professionally produced, the quality of the graphics and gameplay are excellent, the HOS are well done although they are far and few between! This game is all about the puzzles, puzzles all over the place and I love it! There seems to be a game to please almost everybody, turning rings to complete a picture, drawing lines between several colored tiles without overlapping, to it's matching tile and even painting a picture correctly of the Royal Family. There are Royal Family statues to collect and if you visit the room, you can read a short bio on the characters you have found. There are also Royal Crowns hidden opaquely throughout the game. You also earn achievements and I always suggest reading the achievements before playing the game to make sure you earn every one possible. I'm loving this game, so I'm off to fight some sins, enjoy!

I recommend this game!

MONEY WELL SPENT!! Others have mentioned that the puzzle games were too easy, but I actually found them pretty hard and had to skip a lot of them. But then I'm not good at puzzles.

I have NOT run into any glitches at all, although I am not one who's big on achievements and collectibles, so I don't know about that. The strategy guide was very helpful, it got me past any parts where I was stuck. Happy gaming! Show less

Elephant Games brings us another fun and interesting challenge. The town of Riddlestone has been overtaken by the seven deadly sins -- greed, gluttony, envy, wrath, sloth, pride, and jealousy -- in case you've forgotten. You are again a detective, summoned by Queen Olivia, to find her daughter Ann. You discover she has been overtaken by Greed, and converted into an evil being who loves gold. You find a banishing crystal that, when charged, can defeat each sin. You use it on gluttony to save the artist's daughter. After recharging, you are about to use it on greed..........when the demo ends! Bummer!

The storyline is unique, as with most of the Elephant games. You have a teleporting map and a hint button that helps you decide where to teleport to. The HOS are lists, but they are clear and clean -- uncluttered and easy to see. The mini-games are repeats of ones we have seen before. You recharge your crystal with magic from each sin's sign.

You collect figurines that give a summary of the main characters' hobbies, personality, etc. The king is depicted on his deathbed, due to the ruination of his town. You can view the figurines via a "stage" icon on the game screen. There are also 24 crowns to collect, achievements, wallpaper, art, music, a bonus game and a strategy guide. You can choose from three modes of play.

While not the best of the developer's games, this is still a worthy effort with an interesting story line. The two games offered with this one are excellent. Try it yourself and see! Show less

I really liked this story and the challenge of defeating each of the 7 deadly sins. The bonus chapter was great as well. When you complete the bonus chapter there is a hint that another Riddles of Fate game may come to Bigfish. I hope so because I agree with fellow reviewers; Elephant games are unique, big budget adventures with incredible stories, graphics, hos, puzzles, the works.

I recommend this game!

A town is enveloped in an epidemic of sorts created by the onslaught of the insidious plague of.... THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS! It's up to you as detective and problem solver to undermine the efforts of this dreadful plot and set the town back to it's glorious and harmonious state.

Well, I am only now delving into the midst of the overtly dreadful plot in order to help solve the dilemma for the townsfolk in this interesting and absorbing adventure H0G.

I had not even trialed the game due to having overly relied on some criticism I read about the game [criticism I now do not agree with] and to think that it came from some of my normally reliable reviewers. What a shame! But all is not lost... I have now purchased the game and well past the 3/4's mark and had to stop to give a quick review to encourage others to give it a fair trial!

IMHO Riddles of Fate Into Oblivion is fantastic! I There is a great level of detail the designers put into the game from graphics to puzzles, sound.... the whole package is very well synchronized and incredibly fun and exciting to play.

I encourage anyone who enjoys adventure gaming and clearly well thought out H0G's and interesting, clever and well integrated puzzles that are appropriate to the scenes and plot of the storyline and game content to definitely check this out... if you are like me you will buy after completing the demo.

It took me a few scenes to actually get the flow and my appreciation for the quality of this game has continued to grow as I venture on.... thank you SO much developers for your conscientious effort and hard work in creating a wonderfully creative and rewarding game ~kudos!

Happy gaming! Show less

This game has everything. You are asked to banish the sins from Riddlestone. The graphics are beautiful; the hidden objects and puzzles are fun. You have different modes of play, a strategy guide, map and hint button. In the casual mode the hint button teleports you to the new location. There are six main ares and a bonus section.

This is a magnificently beautiful game. Every scene in this hidden object adventure is a masterful work of art, beautiful to look at, fun to explore and interact with. A lot of care was taken in the development of this game to make it a fantastic journey in a highly detailed environment.

There are tons of doors and locks and secret passages that need to be opened and explored, rooms full of mysterious objects and elegant royal treasures that fill the many hidden object scenes. There are lots of puzzles that need to be solved, but none of them are too hard or frustrating to finish, the longest I spent on any puzzle was maybe around 7 minutes or so. There are a wide variety of characters you will encounter, some very helpful and many evil characters who will try to stop you from freeing the kingdom from the seven deadly sins.

There is a great interactive map that shows where you are, where you can travel to, and allows you to jump from one location to another as long as you have already visited that location. The map also indicates where there are tasks that need to be completed, so if you are not sure where to go next, just consult the map for a good clue.

I would rate this as a moderately complex game. You should have some prior experience with hidden object games before trying this one. The game is a lot of fun to play from start to finish and there are lots of awards you can potentially win during the game for excellence at hidden object scenes and puzzles. I strongly recommend this game. Show less
