Based on demo only. I am enjoying this game because 30 minutes in I haven't had to do any tasks that have been in almost every game in the last year. I am not a puzzle person so the simplicity and difference of those in this game is refreshing. I don't have to do an auto skip on every one.

I recommend this game!

Brava, Elephant Games! This game and the latest Crossroads offering are two of the best HOPAs we've seen in sometime. You are proving there is still some life in the HOPA genre. Thank you for all your hard work!

Brava, Elephant Games! This game and the latest Crossroads offering are two of the best HOPAs we've seen in sometime. You are proving there is still some life in the HOPA genre. Thank you for all your hard work!

The storyline in Mark on the Bone, the latest game in Halloween Stories, is complicated (and unusual) and I had to really pay attention in order not to lose the thread of the story but that only made me want to stay with the game. It's a good story and I applaud its depth. There is plenty of information provided so there are no gaps. Not all stories are easy to tell.

The tasks are integrated into the storyline so there is not the feeling of completing a task for no reason. Elephant Games does love its emblems but they are not overly done. Hidden Object scenes and mini games/puzzles are varied and some have a new look. There is not the sense of same old, same old.

This review is based upon completed play of the main game and bonus chapter. Show less

I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this game. I like the achievements materializing like a collectible. The collectibles are nice. Liked the 2 stained glass window jigsaw. I could retrieve a missed collectible and it has a indicator. Has 3 chapters + bonus.

I enjoyed this game. I like the achievements materializing like a collectible. The collectibles are nice. Liked the 2 stained glass window jigsaw. I could retrieve a missed collectible and it has a indicator. Has 3 chapters + bonus.

Liked all the hops. I liked some of the easy puzzles and skipped anything I didn't want to do. Liked in the right order, combining symbols and relaxed recipe. I think the tasks were enjoyable.

The two screensavers were too small to see if I wanted to use them. I don't like characters on my wallpaper just scenes. One was promising but had a ghost on it.

Replays on 14 hops and 13 mgs. Show less

I recommend this game!

I haven't written a review for years and gave this game 5 stars because it was so refreshing to not have the same old ho-hum story and mini-games. There is so much that is new and actually exciting about this game, I didn't want it to end. Thank you for creativity hitting the HOG games once again!

I recommend this game!

The game is slightly spooky, colors, graphics and music or background noises fit the atmosphere perfectly.The length of the game is ok. Again hidden objects and good puzzles. Partly made very crisp again partly. For puzzle friends there is definitely something for everyone here. Show less

The game itself is good fun, there is a lot of details etc., I did skip some games (purely because I didn't want to hang about) but they were fairly different from ones I'd seen before although you do get the old 'pick matching places from clues' etc., as well.

My ONLY bug is that for some reason, I couldn't get the secret room to work - it showed me what I needed to find that I had missed ...Show more

My ONLY bug is that for some reason, I couldn't get the secret room to work - it showed me what I needed to find that I had missed (puzzle pieces or collectibles) but then didn't allow me to look for them... also there's an achievement for getting all the statuettes but I didn't see a statuette in the entire game...anyway, it's quite a good game and the bonus content ties in nicely.

I have played so many games over the years, but this one I will remember. Sound and visual aspects are great. It's not as easy as I thought, which was awesome. It has a real spooky vibe to it and I enjoy the storyline. No glitches, no errors - smooth playing. This is a must try and purchase!

I recommend this game!
