This game was one puzzle after the next. And I was sucked into it immediately. I loved the art style, the introduction, the overall plot, and the ease of gameplay. That isn't to say that this is an easy game that lacks challenge. But it didn't take twenty minutes of hardcore thinking and wrong clicks to figure out how to proceed with the puzzles. This game was highly intuitive, the puzzles made sense, and there were some interesting activities/min games within that made it a fun ride to be had.

Based on the demo, I will be buying the full game and playing it all the way through.

I thoroughly enjoyed the way this game started in the action. Even though some of the mythology is a bit off, and every character pronounced Hecate's name a different way, it was captivating. This is my first time playing this series, but I can already tell I am going to go back and get all the others.

The hidden objects were, for the most part, a relaxed experience. There were a few areas that proved to be too heavy-handed in the multi-step item finds. But thankfully it wasn't every HOA in-game.

The puzzles were fun and unique, without being frustrating and overdone.

Overall, this is a solid game that I plan on getting deeper into. I look forward to digging more into the series and seeing where it goes in the future. Show less

I recommend this game!

The story may be the trite, same ole we have had before but I liked this game. I did not find it boring and I thought that it moved along at a good pace. Did revisit a few hidden object games a couple of times but they were good list finds. I thought some of the objects were very well hidden. The mini games were not mind numbing but required some thought. Some were easy.

The mini games were not mind numbing but required some thought. Some were easy.

Collectible hour glasses did not always jump out at you, nor the morphing skulls. Using the color hour glasses at the end to paint a picture was better than collecting coins to buy things. My only little disappointment at the end of the game was that there was no achievement for collecting all the morphing skulls.

The graphics were clear and detailed and looked like all the RC games. Voices were great. Music good.

I'm sorry that other reviewers found the game such a disappointment. I enjoyed it. Try it before you buy it. You could hate it or enjoy it like I did. Show less

I recommend this game!

Nicely crafted graphics and characters. Felt like intro was a Hogwart's scene? Hecate, if spelled right, was way overdone. What mortal man would want her after all her evil doings?

At least the story moved forward with some back and forth. Good scenes and interesting décor. Hidden Object Games are great and match the theme. Not a game fan just skipped most.

And you get out of the cemetery for awhile which is a nice change. I enjoyed that the story moved forward until the end of the trial. Give it a trial run to see what you think. Show less

fromChronos should consider turning the Graveyard of Time into a resort and spa. He can naturally turn back the hands of time without the pain and expense of plastic surgery.

REVIEW BASED UPON THE ENTIRE GAME
4 Chapters Plus a Bonus Chapter – Strategy Guide: 44 pages (My time: 6 hours)

OPINION: Find yourself in a precarious situation as you hover between life and death in the Graveyard of Time! Help Chronos, the Keeper of Time, restore order between the two worlds as you both battle Hecate, a misguided priestess from the Temple of Time. In her attempt to restore the life of her mortal lover, she has stolen the Chronometrum, the keeper of soul crystals. Stop her before she destroys the souls by using them to perform a ritual to resurrect her lover.

This game is a nice addition to the series. Déjà vu? The theme is similar as others within the series; go back in time to change the future by saving some person from death. Although the theme is hackneyed, the game is well-designed. It is beautifully illustrated. I especially loved the jungle scenes within the second chapter of the game. The scenery is unique and seldom seen in other HOP games. It is refreshing to see something other than airy fairy tale kingdoms or dark, ghost infested haunts. With the large number of mini-games and HOP scenes, the game has a good pace as well.

There are an equal number of HOP scenes and mini-games. There are thirty-six (36) HOP scenes and thirty-eight (38) mini-games. Approximately half of each can be replayed at the end of the game. The number given for the HOP scenes includes scenes with a small number of items (5 or 6) to be located. The scenes include lists of items, silhouette, pattern scenes, and matching. Each of the scenes is highly interactive. Some of the scenes also have puzzles within them. My favorite scene is one in which cutouts are placed within the scene against an unrelated background to create an animal. This is one scene I wish other developers would use within their games.

The puzzles vary in style and difficulty. There is one Rube-Goldberg puzzle which is the first puzzle within the game. I would have loved to have seen more of this style of puzzle within the game. There are a few puzzles which can be played in either a hard or easy mode. There is also a repetitive Match-3 puzzle which is played at the end of the three (3) chapters devoted to each of Hecate’s victims. There are many picture puzzles within the game. It seems to be a new trend with the current crop of HOP games. Personally, I am tired of one third of the puzzles in recent games being picture puzzles.

MECHANICS:

• Four (4) levels of play including a customized version.
• Twelve (12) achievements.
• Collect twenty-four (24) hourglasses – each containing colored sand to color a given picture
• Collect twenty-six (26) skulls. All the collectibles are easy to locate.
• Eight (8) wallpapers and six (6) screensavers along with concept art, music and video sequences
• Replay fifteen (15) mini-games and eighteen (18) HOP scenes

BONUS CHAPTER: It is another story. Play Bernadette. Arriving at a campground which is in flames, you save the life of a young girl, Ginger. Unfortunately, you perish in the flames while saving her life. Upon arrival at the Graveyard of Time, Chronos informs you that you should not have died. Go back in time before the fire, untangle the threads of time, and alter the future. There are seven (7) HOP scenes and seven (7) mini-games. To me, this chapter does not match in quality to that of the main game. I feel that the mini-games and HOP scenes are not as creatively designed as those from the main game. It seems as if this chapter was tacked on. It has little or no relation to the main chapter. At the end, however, you make a choice concerning your future!

SPOILERS: HERE ARE SOME OF THE MINI-GAMES AFTER THE DEMO:

A. Mahjong puzzle. Remove all stone pieces as in the game mahjong
B. Checkers puzzle. Use a green spider to jump over and remove red spiders until none remain on the grid. 3X each increases in difficulty
C. Match 3 puzzle. Match up 3 or more of 4 same colored stones to remove them. There are quite a few to remove in each instance. In the first instance - remove 22 blue, 72 orange, 49 red and 76 yellow. Creates a beautiful gemmed tiger in the first puzzle. (Used 3 times in the game)
D. Maze puzzle. Move a boat through water while avoiding obstacles in its path.
BONUS CHAPTER:
E. Sequence puzzle. Repeat a sequence of notes on a flute to lull a snake to sleep.
F. Switch puzzle. Switch halves of cars, planes, and bikes to create 4 of each within their designated location. Switch between scenes and use a holding area to switch pieces from one section to another
G. Whack-a-Mole puzzle. In this case, whack-a-Spikey-the-dog. As images pop up within the scene, click on the featured pooch 5 times to get him to come to you. Show less

I recommend this game!

Difficulty Range: Beginner-Intermediate

Beeeeeeep--/\|/\/-|/\-------------One minute you're flatlining, the next thing you know you're face to face with Chronos the Keeper of the Temple of Time who tells you there's been a mistake made, wait, what! Priestess Hecate has gone completely insane and she's on a rogue murder spree killing innocent people way before their clock is supposed to stop ticking, and you're one of her victims...but why? Only one way to find out, save three innocent souls in the Redemption Cemetery...(why do I always have to fix everyone's mistakes????)

૮σℓℓε૮ƭเɓℓεร & ɱσ૨ρɦเɳɠ σɓʝε૮ƭร:
There are 24 Collectible Hourglasses in 8 different colors (3 of each color) The colored sand is used to "paint" an image correctly. (select the "Check" button to briefly show the colors' placements on the image and then select the desired sand color and the highlighted areas to fill) Each of the 26 Scene Locations also has a Morphing Skull.

ɦเ∂∂εɳ σɓʝε૮ƭ ร૮εɳεร:
There are 12 Hidden Object Scenes and 11 smaller Zoom-Zone Hop's +4 in the CE Bonus Chapter. They are mostly Interactive List Finds and almost every scene is repeated at least once. There are also Swatch Finds, Silhouetted Shape Finds, Multiples of the same Object Finds, Picture Finds, Keywords in Sentence Finds, Description Finds, and one fairly creative scene where you have to place Stencils onto highlighted areas that become animals even though it doesn't look like an animal before the stencil is placed.

ɱเɳเ-ɠαɱεร:
There are 30 Mini-Games +8 in the ૮ε Bonus Chapter. They are decent puzzles but fairly easy to solve. Here's a list of games that I enjoyed the most during the game:

☠~Drag Horizontal & Vertical strips to complete the image.
☠~Use fire to push the tiger away from the edges toward the jungle path.
☠~Swap various statue decor between 3 statues.
☠~Use the green spider to jump and eliminate red spiders.
☠~Arrange triangles so the colors of their adjacent sides match.
☠~Swap tiles to make connections of wicks from each color-coded bomb to its matching sparK.
☠~Guide 4 elemental tiles to the crystal of life (Earth beats Water, Wind beats Earth, Water beats Fire, Fire beats Wind)

ɓσɳµร ૮ɦαρƭε૨ (૮ε ѵε૨รเσɳ σɳℓყ)
Save your own soul in this slightly above average-length bonus chapter that takes place over 8 new Scene Locations. Play as Bernadette who loses her life while rescuing a young girl named Ginger who became trapped in a camper during a fire at the campgrounds. Chronos tells you there has been a mistake, you shouldn't have perished and sends you to untangle the Threads of Time which will reverse the incident. (why do I have to fix his mistakes...again!?) There are 4 Hidden Object Scenes, and 8 Mini-Games and you will continue searching for the final 8 Morphing Skulls and 6 Hourglasses to finish the sand painting.

૮σℓℓє૮ƭσ૨'ร є∂íƭíσɳ єхƭ૨α'ร:
8 Wallpapers (some w/o characters yay!) 7 Concept Art Pictures, 6 Screensavers (decent images yay!) 4 Music Soundtracks, 12 Achievements, 18 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 15 Replayable Mini-Games, 24 Collectible Hourglasses of Time which allows you "paint" an image with the sand (3 of each color: white, purple, orange, blue, pink, green, aqua, yellow) 26 Morphing Skulls, 4 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter, and a Built-In Strategy Guide.

There are all the elements you expect from a CE game and specifically a Redemption Cemetery game. There are keys, tokens, and amulets at every turn with the usual sad stories of each victim you must save and the villain taunting you as you work to defeat him/her.

Please play the demo, especially if you are new to this series.
As a RC fan, I will wait for a really impressive sale. Show less

The best thing about the game are the bonus content. It has six screensavers and the last one has moving water and a waterfall. I also like the paint by colored sand from the hourglasses that I collected.

The story was good enough but the gameplay, lack of mini-games I like and slow mini-hops didn't get it with me. I think the game is barely OK. Show less
