Evil manifests in many forms and appears when you are least prepared!

While seeking shelter from a dark and violent storm, two people stumble upon an obscured old house nestled in the blackest recesses of an overgrown forest. Desperate to get out of the rain, the two approach to seek temporary shelter. Soon, the pair becomes aware of sinister forces at work in the house and its mysterious owner. They become trapped. To escape they'll have to collect different components, make magic potions and use supernatural abilities to fight back against dark magic, rescue people imprisoned in the house and defeat the evil witch!

Another Match-3 game. I do like that there is also the HO scenes. Wish they would add the untimed mode. That should just be a standard option to put in any game because not everyone wants the race against the clock. We should be allowed that option. Luckily with this one I never ran out of time.
I recommend this game!

The other reviews had great points but I thought this was different, lovely and with gaining more expertise these developers have good potential. I liked the intricate tiles, the artwork and the music. So many match 3's are for children and this has a little more intriguing features along with the HOG's.
I recommend this game!

First of all, I saw no option to play this game in anything but a race against the clock Timed mode. Many of the tiles look the same which makes it too difficult to differentiate between them, and once you make a match, you have to wait until all the tiles stop falling before you can make another match. If it weren't for these factors, I probably would have given it at least 4 stars because I ...Show more

If it weren't for these factors, I probably would have given it at least 4 stars because I liked the storyline and the available Hidden Object Scenes.
The goals are the same for each level, collect the necessary amounts of each tile before the timer runs out by swapping tiles to make matches of at least 3 identical tiles. You will earn a bottle of potion that is necessary to break the spell a witch has cast upon your boyfriend.
There are blocked tiles that require matches made of the same type as "blocked" but again, it's difficult to see which tiles are blocked at times. To earn Super Powers, you must collect the necessary amount of bonus tiles first, and then drag the icon onto the board where you want to use it, such as a Hammer or Hourglass to stop time. Show less

I thought it would be a faster paced match 3 but instead it was too slow, abit jerky. On the graphics not really sharp and the hidden object there was no hit button.
I don't recommend this game.

The mechanics of this game are flawed and many:
1- on Windows 10, game projects as a square screen that fills 75% of laptop screen, ie will not fill entire screen
2- plays as Timed mode. No option to play on relaxed or no time mode.
3- power ups are lame
4- No skip option for any level

These are major flaws that seriously hamper an otherwise fun game. It is a really frustrating game that could have been a fun game.
It offers HOPs and a decent mystery story in between levels, and even a bonus. Be forewarned, items to find in HOPs are small and dark, but not difficult for aficionados.
I like the game, but found the frustrations outweighed its good points. Message to game developers--give players OPTIONS for more enjoyable game experience. Show less
I don't recommend this game.

I totally agree with the first two reviewers - the tiles are too similar (particularly the blue-ish ones), and there are too many on the board. It's frustrating waiting for tiles to stop falling before making the next move, and this of course cuts into the time allowed for the level. Overall, this is not a well thought out game.
I don't recommend this game.
