Yes, I also wish we had fresh, new games - but the cost these people are paying, the LAST thing on their mind is going to work in a building that has bombed out of existence. I purchased the CE of this game, and enjoyed it. All of this is just imho. Thanks for reading. Show less

I recommend this game!

You look for items to help you through the game with most being used quickly . The player does switch between two players which is not too bad. The game was not to long.

The bonus game was good but short.
Thing about the bonus game I had some items to be used when it was over.and a mannequin to finish dressing I thought .Very strange ending with the bonus game.
During the game you find two bonus items in each scene with most not too hard to find. Not easy on some.
Some parts were a little hard to figure out what to do with items in your bag of items. Some were with a strange usage.
Seemed to be not much music but it was rather mellow compared to other games. Show less

I recommend this game!

Completed Game in approximately 5.0 hours
24 Main Scene Locations +10 in the Bonus Chapter
Difficulty Range: Beginner, possibly Intermediate

What happens when a habitual gambler and Fortuna, the goddess of luck combine forces? Odds are, it's probably a debt that's impossible to pay off! Clearly, everyone realizes that this is just another Dark Romance game. Why did Do Games rename all their old series and pretend they are new? Why did BF feel the need to revamp the old "working" system with a new "horribly broken" system that everyone hates?...follow the money (it probably leads to UNFORTUNA the goddess of bad fortune!)

AUDIO & GRAPHICS:
The graphics didn't seem as detailed as I've come to expect from Do Games, and the lip-sync wasn't even close to what the characters were saying. The story seems very similar to Deck of Fates, which makes me wonder if there isn't an old MHG employee in the mix.

GADGETS & HELPERS:
There is a Gadget Feature where you will switch between playing Beatrice and Franz which is identical to the Dark Romance series.

COLLECTIBLES & MORPHING OBJECTS:
The Collectibles haven't changed, well technically, the names have been changed to 15 Morphing Decorations, 15 Puppets, and 70 Cards which are used to purchase 15 items for your Dress Circle...which is nothing more than 15 boring furniture pieces jammed together in a 12" vertical area...see for yourself, it's an awkward room with offerings you could care less about!

HIDDEN OBJECT SCENES:
The Hidden Object Scenes varied with Interactive Lists, Silhouetted Shapes, and Keywords in Sentences. I don't mind the HO styles they offer, I just wish they would be more creative with the locations, how many times have they been inside a closet, inside a chest, or sitting on a table? Can't they choose something more interesting, something more colorful? If they are too boring you can always opt to play the same exact Match 3 levels, but seriously, why do they never change the M3 board layouts OR the icons?

MINI-GAMES:
The Mini-games were actually decent, they weren't really new but at least they had some interesting selections. I like the Cog puzzle where you had to swap cogs to create an image, and I also liked coloring the picture without having 2 identical colors adjacent in the sections.

BONUS CHAPTER (CE version)
Can Franz solve the mystery of The Phantom of the Opera and save Beatrice before it's too late? This is a slightly above-average length bonus chapter with 10 scene locations and an additional 4 Hidden Object Scenes, and 8 mini-games. You'll continue searching for the final 3 Morphing Decorations, 4 Puppets, and 9 Cards that allow you to purchase the final items for your Dress Circle

COLLECTOR'S EDITION EXTRA'S:
The Collector's Edition version has 13 Wallpapers. 15 Concept Art Pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 33 Video Movie Cutscenes, 39 Achievements, 16 re-playable Mini-games, 17 re-playable Hidden Object Scenes, 15 Morphing Decorations, 15 Puppets, and 70 Cards which are used to purchase 15 items for your Dress Circle, a Bonus Chapter, and a built-in Strategy Guide.

People are saying that it's the same game as the last one. People need to realize the BF sometimes puts out a collectors edition and then sometime later the same game but with out extra benefits of a collectors edition. People who do these reviews should realize this before constantly complaining BF keeps putting out the same game more than once.

If not for the same menial tasks as in every other Domini game I might have enjoyed it more. I always dread them and wonder why they can't create something new and use "tools" that aren't so ridiculous, i.e. the stud earring is just stupid.

If not for the same menial tasks as in every other Domini game I might have enjoyed it more. I always dread them and wonder why they can't create something new and use "tools" that aren't so ridiculous, i.e. the stud earring is just stupid.

A villainous gambler owes all his success to true love that he steals from others. By offering their hearts to a goddess via a ritual he's never short of cash, but always long on evil. 2 lovers try to defeat this nut case. It's a love story that I found silly and kind of boring but better than some of Domini's recent games.

Graphics not as sharp this time, less detail, colors and scenes were dark. Characters and voices were pretty good, lip sync was off quite a bit. Enjoyed the HOPs and puzzles this time. However, some HO scenes were so dark that items were hard to distinguish. Puzzles were more fun for me and that is rare! There was a good variety of both in the demo.

I prefer action and adventure rather than love stories, so this was a pass for me. All Domini games are cookie-cutter and not really new, just new titles and characters so I don't feel like I'm missing much. I did enjoy the demo more than usual, hopefully this will be the perfect game for you.

Thanks to still messed up review page, it took 3 attempts to submit my review. When will it end??? Show less

I played the demo several months ago and was surprised to see that it's listing today as the issue date. Why is Domini Games re-hashing old games? Don't they have any game developers any more? They haven't come out with a truly NEW game in a long time, and I've played pretty much all of their games so I know of whence I speak. I found this game irritating and a bit confusing.

I played the demo several months ago and was surprised to see that it's listing today as the issue date. Why is Domini Games re-hashing old games? Don't they have any game developers any more? They haven't come out with a truly NEW game in a long time, and I've played pretty much all of their games so I know of whence I speak. I found this game irritating and a bit confusing. At times the Back arrow becomes a Skip arrow, so instead of returning to the previous scene, you suddenly skipped a game that you didn't know you were playing. It could just be me, but I don't have the patience to deal with it. Hey, you may love this game; who knows? Show less

I don't recommend this game.
