Based on the demo I'm enthousiastic about this new game from Amax. Good storyline, beautiful graphics, as always, and good and even exciting mini games! Bravo developers, this is one I'm going to buy!

I recommend this game!

I don't know what the first reviewer was complaining about. This game is so much fun! I love how the developer merged the people from other games into this game. I love Dupin and cannot wait to see how this all plays out. Give this a try, I find it fun and challenging.

I recommend this game!

Always a treat to have an AMAX game, ok nothing very new but a lot of bits that were different that I loved (the opening & bats!).
As usual beautiful graphics.

The fun factor for this game is up there I would give it a 9 out of 10, the graphics are amazing and the story line keeps me entertained.

I have one issue with the game and it is the delay I keep seeing, not sure if that is a a technical issue of if they meant for the game to have delays when you are trying to click on something or start a mini game.

I recommend this game!

Love this game. A fun and different take on casual games. Beautifull graphics and very good voiceovers. The atmosphere is spot on to. To the only slight letdown, is that some puzzles are a bit to easy. But other than that a sublime game.

I recommend this game!

The opening of this game is one of the most creative I've seen; it's worth doing the demo just to see it. Then you can decide if the combining of older and different games' characters appeals to you. I found it a bit pandering "you're the best gamer ever"? (oh no, I'm not!) but this is a for fun game. No harm, no foul. I found the HOs and mini games a bit too easy but that's just me.

I wonder if it would be easier to fully appreciate the Worlds Align series if you weren't familiar with the series that are crossed in them. I love the Dark Tales (haven't played the others), so I got sucked into these by my love of Dupin, but knowing that series as well as I do makes these a little head-scratchy.

I wonder if it would be easier to fully appreciate the Worlds Align series if you weren't familiar with the series that are crossed in them. I love the Dark Tales (haven't played the others), so I got sucked into these by my love of Dupin, but knowing that series as well as I do makes these a little head-scratchy. Why is Estelle, who was the *bad guy* in House of Usher, presented here as Dupin's friend and ally?

Setting aside plot bewilderment caused by knowing the Dark Tales, though, these games are fine. They're interesting and unique, and some of the puzzles are a lot of fun. (Some are not; there were one or two that I ended up having to skip because I didn't understand the instructions.) I love Dupin, the Puppet Master is kind of oddly adorable, and the Cardinal seems like a great character too. The visuals and sound effects are superbly done. I felt like the first one was more entertaining, because of the way the characters interacted with me; I was on my own a lot more this time around. But it's still pretty good, and if you enjoyed the first one or you enjoy the other series produced by AMAX, you should definitely give this one a try. Show less

Completed Game approximately 4.5 hours
(including completion of all mini-games & CE Bonus Chapter)
18 Main Game Scene Locations +8 Bonus Chapter
Difficulty Range: Beginner-Intermediate

Professor Blackmore is alive and well after all these years, hiding in the shadows, lurking in the dark, and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Naturally, he has summoned Saint Germain to do his evil biddings, more than once, in fact, and now the lives of Dupin, Estelle, the Puppet Master, and the Cardinal are in mortal danger. Dr. Blackmore has invented some morbid devices in the past, but his latest invention is the cruelest of all, for it robs its victim of their free will until all that remains is a zombified ghost of the past, unrecognized by even death himself!

Who doesn't remember the sick twisted experiments of The Greenhills Sanitarium or Fears From Childhood? Who doesn't gasp when they see Saint Germain meddling in all your affairs? Who doesn't love the Puppet Master or the familiar face of the Cardinal as he gently stroked his poor cat that looked like he has been around the block several times and is working on his 10th or 11th life, and of course we love Detective Dupin! The story started out really good but it's almost as if they forgot where they were going with it or didn't actually have an "end game" Dr. Blackmore makes an appearance to show he's the evildoer and the mastermind behind the whole plan but where did he go, are we okay with the fact that no one even talks about him once all's said and done. St. Germain makes a few appearances and slips through the cracks but that's always his MO, he always lives to see another day, but the last chapter was literally bouncing all over the place and I never understood whether the event that took place in chapter 3 was the truth or if what happened in chapter 4 was the reality, the loopholes were huge and none of it made sense because there were too many discrepancies, as if the ending was slapped in place at the last minute to get the game ready when clearly it wasn't!

There were so many glitches in the game, the first part worked flawlessly, by chapter 3 it was skipping, the music was getting stuck on the same note, the voices weren't matching up, some of the dialogs was just completely missing it didn't even have music, it was complete silence! This is what leads me to believe that this game wasn't ready for game day!

☽☾Collectibles☼ CE Version Only
Once again Amax is skimping on the CE Bling because they believe that eventually, we will come to accept that THIS is normal! Once again, There are NO Morphing Objects. There are No Hidden Collectibles. There are 14 Zoom-Zone Moon Crystals to click on, they aren't really hidden, they are colorful and in plain sight, the zoom-zone doesn't even close automatically until the crystal has been picked up, so I consider these "Clickables" not Collectibles because they don't present any challenge whatsoever. Each Moon Crystal Unlocks 1/7 Devices that contain a Scroll with stories from the Keeper of Untold Stories. The stories are available individually as each one is unlocked. (you don't have to wait until the end of the game) This game is NOT CE WORTHY, in my opinion, wait for the SE version!

◔Hidden Object Scenes◕
There are 21 Hidden Object Scenes 9 in the CE Bonus Chapter, including several smaller Zoom-Zone Hidden Object Scenes which usually preceded the larger main HO scenes. I'm not usually a fan of HO's but they actually did a decent job with them, there's a nice variety, but I will give you a heads-up that some scenes tend to be rather dark, and the objects are partially hidden behind other objects, very small and at times, unrecognizable, especially when they add fog for special effects. I really wish developers would add a Skip option to the HOP's because most of the time the alternate Match 3 games they offer are just as boring so they are both just a complete waste of time for most seasoned players. Most of the HO's are Interactive List Finds but there are also Silhouetted Shape Finds, Multiples of the Same Object Finds, Fragmented Item Finds, Find & Replace, Finding Pictured Ingredients, Finding Stones & Tiles, Uncovering Matching Pairs, and Removing Related Pairs, There are no alternate Puzzles available.

♙Mini-Games♙
There are 33 Mini-Games +11 in the CE Bonus Chapter, and they are mostly tile swapping of every variation imaginable or moving tiles along a track type of puzzles. Here are some of my personal favorites:
1-Eliminate 20 Bats in the dark by clicking on them. (warning! they do jump out at you,,, hilarious but super fun whomp-a-bat!) დდდ
2-Use clues you find to overcome obstacles.
3-Select discs to change the speed it rotates to pass each ball between the disc at the same time. დდ
4-Navigate 3 characters thru the map by standing on platforms to open & close matching colored doors. დდდ

✯Bonus Chapter (Collector's Edition version only)✯
This is the part of the story that coincides with the main story when Dupin asked Estelle to search for the parts necessary to complete the Astral Key because she is one of the Watchers who is able to visit the Astral World. Unfortunately, it takes place over the same 8 boring scenes as the fourth and final chapter of the main game which was agonizing for me personally. There are 11 mini-games and 9 hidden object scenes (including smaller zoom-zones) and you will find the final 3 Zoom-Zone Moon Crystals to unlock the final story scrolls.

♕Collector's Edition Extra's♕
7 Wallpapers, 7 Concept Art Pictures, 4 Music Soundtracks, 15 Achievements, 12 Replayable Mini-Games, 12 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes,14 Zoom Zone Moon Crystals to unlock 7 Devices (Each one requires 2 crystals to open a scroll to read a page in the story), 4 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a Built-In Strategy Guide. Once again, this doesn't look like a whole lot of CE bling to me???
