There is no VO's in the game, but to me that's neither here nor there, it's the game that matters. I love the main character and his sense of humor, and this is the first time we had a child as a main character. A very strong willed little man. This game to me is running smooth as silk.

There is no VO's in the game, but to me that's neither here nor there, it's the game that matters. I love the main character and his sense of humor, and this is the first time we had a child as a main character. A very strong willed little man. This game to me is running smooth as silk. No hesitations in the zoom-ins, not dark in the least on my monitor, fine to me. And I love the creepiness of the game.

Story: This town turned into a total mist, which did steal the boys parents away from him. He wants to find his parents and find out why the town turn out like this and what is causing it. Practically around every corner he is running into shadows but it is not stopping him in the least. While on his journey he ran into another orphaned girl named Emily. She knows what is going on and what is causing the shadows, but just as she was about to tell, the shadows abducted her. Now he is on a quest to find out where Emily and his parents are.

Graphics: I think the graphics are wonderful. The lighting is just right on my comp in and out of H0GS.

Music: This is totally adding to the creep factor. I really like the music.

H0GS: So far it is the list of words with green words for the extra step. I am not sure if that will change, or stay the same.

Map: You have your exclamation points to let you know you have something to do there, and yes you would have something to do, not just the ! and you still have to wait for another item to complete the task. It is also a jump map.

Mini Games: Except for one, all the mini games were original which makes it truly enjoyable. And they're nice mini games. Not these umpteen step ones where you need the strat guide for or you end up skipping.

Hint Button: Nicely done. It shows you exactly what needs to be done meaning even it's on another screen, it takes you there. I am playing in expert mode, and it's not a long recharge at all.

All in all this team did a really nice job with this game. I am going to truly enjoy playing the rest of it and see what happens. Kudos to this team! Show less

I recommend this game!

Even though this game comes without any bling-bling and has no voice-overs, collectibles or any kind of extra, I give it a full five out of five stars.

The visual appearance is among the most artistic and unique styles I've ever seen anywhere, let alone a PC game for a handful of dollars. I'm a huge fan of European comic art, and here I find myself catapulted right into a french graphic novel with a slight resemblance to a Tim Burton movie. I love it!
The crooked trees, the pale yet lovely little orphan girl, the worn out cobblestone pavements, the living shadows. Really, it's adorable.

As mentioned, there are no voices, but you don't need them anyway. Not to create atmosphere, that is. The sound effects are so brilliant, so exquisite, and the atmosphere they create is so dense that I myself don't need talking people to feel the story.

The overall gameplay is self-explaining and doesn't offer surprises, you seek items you need in other places to open a lock, a door, a chest. The HO scenes are crisp and only slightly interactive, but they're crisp and as beautifully drawn as the rest of the game.

I'm going to buy this jewel and so should you if you're into graphics and sounds induced suspense. Show less

I recommend this game!

What a brave little boy to take on the Shadows that appear from the mist, he is definitely a hero! There is so much to do here, there and everywhere I‘m spinning.

What a brave little boy to take on the Shadows that appear from the mist, he is definitely a hero! There is so much to do here, there and everywhere I‘m spinning.

4 levels: Beginner, Advanced, Expert and Hard.

Inventory: Lockable.

Hint: Very helpful and charges quickly on the Beginner level.

Map: It is a jump map. An exclamation mark flashes a few times when you open it showing areas with tasks to perform.

Diary: The boy writes it very well and it‘s amusing at times, and you can replay some of the cut scenes. I find that after taking a break it is helpful to read it to remind me of what I had done earlier.

Voices: None at all, but decent sized boxes pop up and the typeface is very clear.

Music: Excellent.

Graphics: Very well drawn and so appropriate to the game.

HOPS: Lists and some interaction in each one I have played, also rather challenging for my old eyes.

Mini Games/Puzzles: A wide variety, some are easy and some aren’t, it’s not like me but I have already skipped one as it was driving me nuts.

Helper: (I think I can hear groans coming from some players!) His name is Reed, he is relatively unobtrusive, he’s sort of a cross between an elf and a fairy but prior to using him you have to find a “bit of magic”. I played the demo and then about another half hour and so far he’s only been used 3 times.

Enjoy the creepiness! Show less

I don't review games very often, as I prefer to save my reviews for the small games that might be overlooked. This is one such game. I found it truly charming, and actually quite challenging, although not in the usual puzzle type way. The lack of "chatter" by characters and sound effects was refreshing, and remind me a bit of games such as "Alone". I had to frequently refer to the map, as to where ...Show more

The lack of "chatter" by characters and sound effects was refreshing, and remind me a bit of games such as "Alone". I had to frequently refer to the map, as to where to go and what to do next, and enjoyed having to really "think". All round a lovely game that was a delight to play. I recommend it highly.

Based on the demo: I see so many of the same type of games released, that when a developer goes off the beaten path I am relieved,. While this game will not win awards for grammar it does deliver a great story. The HOS are list with a bit of interaction. The puzzles were very original and fun... no 15 step puzzles that do not make sense. The music is just wonderful and perfectly suited to the game. The sound effects add great drama. I love to play games by new developers because it gives me the chance to see and play something new, other than the usual "oh look, I found a gear". I rate this 4 stars with the 5th thrown in for originality. Show less

The art is beautiful, the music and sound effects are like those you hear in a lucid dream, the puzzles are varied and play to different reasoning strengths, and the plot unfolds like a story-dream--it connects in that peculiar and unnerving way that your dreams do.

First I don’t know, what to say about this game. Strange and beautiful. Like a weird dark tale book. Next I feel this game. I feel a fear of city, i feel a loneliness of my little hero. I saw fog and Shadows, despair of citizens.
I really know, what to say about this game. It’s different and intriguing. Play and you feel that, what I feel during gameplay.

I recommend this game!

Very user friendly game, and challenging for a change. Wasn't dark on my screen. Puzzles a bit different, and HOPs nicely done and not too difficult.

I'm playing Advanced, but there are two harder levels and an easier level.

I love all things spooky, and this game is spooky. Music in keeping with theme. Show less

For those who have given it 4-5 stars and the great reviews, I can only say ditto. The only thing that I can add is that both the hidden object scenes and mini-games were very original. Great game. Off to purchase!
