I have always liked games and shows about Salem witches, so naturally, I was intrigued by this new Domini game. Their games lately have been so simplistic, so I was not expecting much, but to my surprise, Secrets of Salem was a decent game. It did start out pretty generic with the usual locked purse, missing zipper pull, rusty latches, missing wheels, valves, and handles on every freaking door, but then the plot took a 180°, and the puzzles became a bit more intense.

Dakota returns to her hometown of Salem to attend her mother s funeral when things go from bad to worse. Dakota is mortally wounded by an unknown assailant, trapping her between the land of the living and the spirit realm.

Fortunately, her mother s friend Sebille rushes to Dakota s ghostly aid to guide her and help her identify the person responsible for hunting down the witches of Salem.

The only feature I was not crazy about was the Conversation Choices because it does not really change the outcome; it just wastes your time by forcing you to ask meaningless questions that have no bearing on the story.

The Hidden Object Scenes were theme-related, and it felt like they contributed to the story, which often is not the case in a typical Domini Game. Even better, no giant gold stars were awarded afterward! I liked the HOS, where you had to find items that matched the pictures on tarot cards.

At first, the mini-games were simplistic and easily solved with just 2-3 moves, but they eventually became more complex. I particularly liked the puzzle where you had to rotate slots and shift the orange and green balls until the slots were filled with green balls. There are several maze-themed puzzles with slightly different mechanics to make them interesting as well.

If you like Salem-related games, too, I recommend Lost Chronicles: Salem, Hidden Mysteries: Salem Secrets, or Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials, which are available here on Big Fish as well.

When you finish gaming, head on over to my nature-themed forum for some classic Woodsy excitement and meet fellow BF gamers from across the globe. Chat with devs, gather the latest upcoming game info, or just catch up on the latest forum shenanigans s (100% chance of shenanigans). There is always something interesting going on at The Woods, so grab some mallows, pull up a log, pop a squat, and join us for some fun around the campfire @ thewoodsforum.boards.net Show less

I recommend this game!

Another DO/Domini cookie cutter game. If you&#39;ve played one, you&#39;ve played them all.

I don't recommend this game.
