This game has everything that gamers want.

My applause to the, dev's...this is a great game!
There has NOT been that many games that have came out lately, that were worthy of 5 stars!

I recommend this game to every level of the game players.

Love story about torn apart sweethearts. The scene is set to make you want to help! The voices were enchanting and the ambience immersive. Everything about this game appealed to me. For the first time in in ages, I actually listened to the voice-overs and skip-scenes. I liked the music too! Lovely bitter-sweet awesomeness.

I recommend this game!

Finally, a magical fantasy love story that I could follow without yawning. Beautiful characters, touching love story, appropriate voice overs, good combination of HOPs and puzzles. Puzzles had just the right amount of challenge, but are the kind seen many times over elsewhere.

Sleuthing aspect is excellent. Thoroughly enjoyable game that goes by quickly.

Two thumbs up.

I recommend this game!

This is a great little SE game! It's got lots of puzzles & plenty of HO's. I DO NOT GIVE SPOILER ALERTS IN MY GAME REVIEWS!

First off, you're playing as Aaron, a man who's lost the love of his life; that's all you get.

There is the opportunity to set your own game pace; you can have the hint & skip re-fill as fast as ten seconds. There is a journal & also a jump-map, that can be pretty handy ...Show more

This is a great little SE game! It's got lots of puzzles & plenty of HO's. I DO NOT GIVE SPOILER ALERTS IN MY GAME REVIEWS!

First off, you're playing as Aaron, a man who's lost the love of his life; that's all you get.

There is the opportunity to set your own game pace; you can have the hint & skip re-fill as fast as ten seconds. There is a journal & also a jump-map, that can be pretty handy at times.

The graphics are good; not top notch, but the game play was smooth. I didn't encounter any "Pixelating", either.

The HO's are what we've come to expect: LISTS. One or two had a couple of things that were interactive (i.e. move a leaf, find an item). I had no problem with any of them, & played the entire game without using the Hint.

The mini-games were varied; some very much the same, but there were a few in there that were slightly challenging. Some took a while to solve, so if you have patience, you can do them.

Overall, this game was a fun one to play on a rainy afternoon. However, if you consider yourself a Pro, or you want more of a challenge, I would suggest getting the Collector's Edition, one with more bells & whistles. This one is perfect for someone who's just starting out playing these games to intermediate players.

Happy Gaming! Show less

Aaron and Ophelia were just about to get married when Ophelia was suddenly struck by a deadly disease. Aaron has already tried to save his lover using any means necessary, all of which proved fruitless. He is now ready to take one step further into the dangerous world of dark magic. Now you must help Aaron as he explores the Underworld in search for the Blind Witch, who might be able to help bringing Ophelia back to life! Once again, the Love Chronicles series seamlessly integrates a romance story with a dark fantasy theme. There is no denying that this sort of storyline has been done a hundred times before. However, it is also worth noting that the one in this game is particularly well done. From the delivery to the dialogs – every part of the storyline is perfectly-tuned. Regarding the gameplay, there is nothing groundbreaking. The adventure is fairly traditional – no helpers or anything unexpected. There is one extra feature though, which is The Compass. It is not required to use very often, and usually consists of aligning parts of the scene to reveal hidden spaces. Similarly, the hidden object scenes and the puzzles are not the most innovative types. Still, one can potentially enjoy every one of them since they were all extremely well-crafted and of acceptable difficulty. No HOPA game is complete without a top-rate production. Love Chronicles: Death’s Embrace certainly does not disappoint with its sights and sounds. The visuals feature extravagant special effects and intricate details – all of which are stunning. Further, the audio delivers the same high quality. The voice-acting is on-point and appropriate for each character, while the soothing music gives the game a magical feel. Love Chronicles: Death’s Embrace has a typical length of around four hours, which is a decent amount of game-play time for the SE version of this popular series. This installment was not my favorite. I did however, enjoy playing Death's Embrace and it's worth checking out the previous editions of this series. Cheers!

Details of the game are provided elsewhere so I won't go into it again here.

Whats good: It's a good story that at least makes sense, the games are fun and medium to relatively easy, the hidden objects take a bit to find but aren't difficult (all are lists). So overall, considering what's been on offer lately, especially of you're a regular player, not a bad game in terms of fun.

What could be better:
- One issue I have is a rather small detail but if you tie someone up, don't leave a knife at their feet *sigh*. That takes me out of a game and makes me go "grumble, grumble."
- The story was good but I really would like some creativity and some new games. I've played many of them quite a few times before.

A nice afternoon's game and one that's not too dark for a change. Show less

I have been a fan of this lesser known series from the start, however, Death's Embrace isn't as good as the other games in the series. I think that this game lacks originality, for the most part, they did a great job in the graphics department, but unfortunately, this is one of those games that fizzles after the demo, becoming almost stagnant at some points. Here's a recap of my review so that you can decide which version, if either, is right for you:

Aaron and Ophelia were about to be joined in Holy Matrimony when the unthinkable happened. Ophelia became stricken with a disease, a magical disease, a deadly disease. Aaron tried every spell, and every potion imaginable, but they all failed to cure her, and the dark Lord of the Underworld collected her soul. Aaron vowed to save Ophelia, if Light Magic was incapable of saving her, Dark Magic surely would!

Pack your bags, we're headed for the Underworld to make the devil a deal! I've always been a fan of this, often overlooked series, which shows that Love is enduring, and has no boundaries, Love will move the heavens and the earth, Love will even enter the Land of the Dead to conquer its gatekeeper, Lord Phobos! I wasn't blown away by this storyline, however, because it lacks originality, and has been written and rewritten about a hundred times, in about a hundred different ways.

I wasn't impressed with the Collector's Edition version extras either, or lack thereof, because other than a handful of wallpapers and Vendel dev pictures, the only frill offered is 26 Hidden Heart Signs. You will use only one gadget, a Compass that helps you find caches hidden by magic. The compass isn't used a whole lot, and usually involves aligning symbols or places in the scene. There are no helpers or sidekicks, and I must admit I was a wee bit disappointed that Blaze didn't become my partner in crime, because Blaze is a really well animated, fire breathing Dragon Skeleton, nothing but bone, but really cool! (kudos to the VG animation and 2D graphic artist team!)

The Hidden Object Scenes are fairly well done, many of which are more of a Mini Game than a seek and find game. There are Interactive List finds which expose fragments to collect, Silhouetted Shape finds followed by replacing those objects you found into a different portion of the scene, and Multiples of the same item finds.

The Mini Games range from super easy, to medium difficulty, some of the games allow you to choose the difficulty mode of Casual or Hard. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Click on matching pairs of objects.

2) Swap adjacent tile sections to complete the image.

3) Select matching halves of keys, then choose the correct key to open the chest.

4) Restore the compass image by rotating the rings until all the lines match perfectly.

5) Find all of the witches' runes hidden on the map.

6) Press the correct dagger buttons as the falling bubbles pass through them.

7) Drag the parts into the center to complete the design, not all parts are used.

8) Select the scope when it turns green and then select the meter when the bar is aligned to throw the grappling hook.

9) Swap the doorknockers so that the rings match the faces.

10) Examine the scene and find four of each symbol shown during a story.

11) Place all of the marbles in their matching colored slots, pressing on the hexagonal tiles to rotate them.

The story never really goes anywhere and I feel like half way through it they started rushing the story along. You know what I mean, like when you have 6 people/worlds/objectives to go through and the first 3 are super detailed, take a lot of time and effort and then the last 3 (whatever you are trying to accomplish) are right there in front of your face or magically falls from the sky??? I think the creators may have gotten just as board making it as I did playing it. Meh.... That is how I'm leaving this game... Meh..... Show less
