Two minds are better than one for solving this whodunit. His logic and her paranormal sense get the job done. I enjoyed playing both characters, working to solve the unusual case in this entertaining story. The twin detectives are summoned to find out how and why a beautiful actress ended up dead.

Immortality, beauty, jealousy and the paranormal are at hand in this interesting story and it had a few twists, the ending was a bit surprising and I felt Domini did a good job with this game. It wasn't fantastic but better than most mystery games I have played lately. The characters were depicted well and the voice-overs were good which added more interest to the story. The graphics were nice and sharp with the usual Domini color palette, the scenes and background were full of things to investigate for clues and useful items.

There was a host of tasks and activities to keep the game busy. As always some of the tasks were nonsensical and I wish the devs would stop that and give us logic, things that make sense in the story. I really liked the HOPs and puzzles. They were mostly of the usual variety, not very challenging but the fun was still there. A reasonable amount of puzzles made it even better, for me, since I am not a puzzle lover.

Unless you are looking for something very dark in a murder mystery, this story should do nicely. I think it is a very good whodunit and I always love adding one to my favorites list. Today's sale makes it a good deal, but try the demo for a decent overview of what to expect. The CE, which I bought, is light on the extras but they don't really affect the story anyway. I think the SE is always the better choice when the goodies are in short supply. For me the entertainment remains even if the bling isn't included. I usually go for the CE for the Bonus Chapter and Strategy Guide.

The usual 4 skill modes make this game fun for any player and you can switch when playing, to test the different levels of challenge. I don't think the storyline is too intense and it wasn't scary, so that is a positive note for many gamers. A good whodunit that is hopefully kicking off a new mystery series, with quality stories to satisfy our sleuthing needs. Show less

I recommend this game!

I really like Domini games but they seem to be hit or miss. This one is right in the middle; it has good puzzles and good graphics, but a dumb storyline. It's yet another backstage theatre murder. Can't these guys come up with something a little more original? I'll probably buy it when it's on sale but I don't think it's worth full price.

I recommend this game!

Completed Game approximately 5.0 hours
(including completion of all mini-games & CE Bonus Chapter)
25 Main Game Scene Locations +14 Bonus Chapter
Difficulty Range: Beginner

When will this developer learn that we aren't looking for the same thing rehashed with a new title? Sure, it's great that they are making new games, but clearly, they don't care about what's really important to HOPA fans...we want games that are different, we want games that aren't filled with repetitive tasks, we want games that challenge us to think about what to do next! Every game is the same, we can play the games by this developer on auto-pilot. We know where every zoom zone will be located...because they are always the same. We know what we will use a newfound inventory item on the second we pick it up...because they are always the same. We know that there will be 15 morphing collectibles, 15 items to buy with 70 coins...because they are always the same (with different names. We know how the story unfolds and how it ends...because they are all the same! All they are doing is copying and pasting features from one game to the next. I get that they don't want to put forth the effort it would take to make a game that is truly different, but their average ratings haven't made it past 3.4, a measly "it's okay" rating with gamers, but wouldn't you rather make more money by pleasing the masses? (apparently not)

Gadgets/Helper:
You will play two different characters, twins named Randall and Elanor Jones. Elanor has a paranormal ability and Randall is just an ordinary guy with good detective skills. This is the same scenario as Dark Romance and just as boring.

Audio/Video Quality
No doubt Domini has beautiful graphics and they are well adept at subtle music cues that do exactly what they are supposed to do...go unnoticed yet set the pace. They are also really clever at placing several interactive "toys" for the player to fiddle with, turning lights on/off, making ropes untie or move, or animals scamper...but have you ever noticed that after the demo there's hardly anything you can interact with? $"gotcha" $ I did not have any issues with collectibles as mentioned by another radiant reviewer.

Collectibles & Morphing Objects (CE Version Only):
There are 15 Morphing Pieces of Evidence, 15 Collectible Ink Blots, and 15 Forensic Items to purchase using the 70 Collectible Coins...the same collectibles and morphs that all of their games have, they just have different names. You can opt to show/hide a collectibles tab on the inventory bar that will open a specific icon when there is a collectible available.

Hidden Object Scenes:
There are 13 Hidden Object Scenes +5 in the CE Bonus Chapter and an alternate Match 3 Game available. The Match 3 Game would be amazing if they allowed you to make fast consecutive matches, it would be cool if they put a little effort into this aspect to make the boards get progressively more difficult, added more tiles or something other than a square board with no obstacles??!! There are Interactive Listed Item Finds, Replacing items into the Scene, Silhouetted Shapes, Multiples of Item Finds, Items Related or Keywords in Sentence Finds, ?+?=___ to find 2 items that when combined would make the listed item shown.

Mini-Games:
There are 18 Mini-Games +6 in the CE Bonus Chapter. You can choose to play them in an Easy or Hard difficulty mode and you can choose which mode to have them start out in the Custom Setting (you can still switch between modes for each individual game) Here are a few examples of super, no-brainer puzzles offered:

1-Enter the phone number shown on a piece of paper (seriously?)
2-Rotate disks with holes to show the correct number of each symbol shown.
3-Navigate a motorcycle without landing on the X's because there are X's all over the street when you ride a motorcycle?
4-Use arrows to move all pink candles to the outside and all green candles to the inside because you apparently can't just pick up the candles and move them?

Bonus Chapter (CE Version Only)
Elanor flys solo on a case to catch a serial killer with a thing for Brunettes. There are 5 Hidden Object Scenes and 6 Mini-Games spanning over 14 new scene locations. You will search for the remaining 2 Ink Blots, and 3 Morphing Evidence Items, as well as 15 Coins that allow you to purchase the final Forensic Items.

Collector's Edition Extra's: (CE version only)
15 Wallpapers, 15 Concept Art Pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 33 Movie Video Cutscenes, 40 Achievements, 17 Replayable Mini-Games, 18 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 15 Morphing Evidence Items, 15 Collectible Ink Blots, 15 Forensic Items, 70 Collectible Coins, a gazillion Missing Notes, 4 Main Chapters (Thank goodness!) +Bonus Chapter, and a Built-In Strategy Guide. All of my Series Lists (and much more) can be found on my new forum at thewoodsforum.boards.net Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Another reviewer has summed up my exact thoughts about this game.
"Please try the demo, some may be able to get past unnecessary busy work and totally illogical placement of items. I could have given a higher mark for "challenge", but only because of illogic. The last thing your brother says to you on your cell phone is "call the theatre for the address." Your cell phone vanishes and you have to repair a payphone to make the call. Luckily the pay phone still had a PHONE BOOK?! Some reading this may not even know of pay phones or phone books. I'm not sure about a trained detective whose lock box key and part of her safe combination ends up in a public mailbox." Show less
