Wow, Halloween Chronicles Evil Behind a Mask is an awesome and the perfect Halloween game. There is just enough scare factor to make it great fun without it being far too creepy. I love it, and I am not a huge fan of most of the Halloween games we’ve had this year.

Wow, Halloween Chronicles Evil Behind a Mask is an awesome and the perfect Halloween game. There is just enough scare factor to make it great fun without it being far too creepy. I love it, and I am not a huge fan of most of the Halloween games we’ve had this year.

The graphics are terrific and even with this developer’s love of intense coloration in its games, these are far more Halloween appropriate. I enjoy seeing and finding all of the little detail in each scene. There are some in the HOPS that I even though they were not on the item list, they were fun to click to see what happened. Something that I truly appreciate is that this developer has listened to gamers and given us true Custom Setting in its games. I appreciate being able to set my own hint and skip times to my own specifications.

The HOS are very creative and they are not simply ones where we find the items. I’ve had fun playing through the scenes and finding all of the little special details hidden within. One of my favorite HOS is the carousel but there are many more, all of them so creative and well-designed. Some of the HOS are multi-level as well. There is a Match-3 game included that you can switch to if you don’t want to play the HOS.

I found the Mini Games or Puzzles to be as much fun as the HOS. The puzzles were, at least for me, as enjoyable as the HOS, which doesn’t often happen. Most of the puzzles have been seen in other games and most were easy but, of course, I play in the “Easy” mode. One of the puzzles I enjoyed the most was the one where I had to adjust light beams to turn off pairs of orbs but there were still others that were as enjoyable.

Overall, this game was so wonderful that I know I will play it again, and it is destined to become my favorite Halloween classic. The entire game is so creative and filled with Halloween fun that even the bad guy doesn’t seem that creepy. Kudos to the developer for creating one of the best ever Halloween games that I am sure will become a favorite with other gamers as well. Even though I love Halloween Chronicles Evil Behind a Mask, please try the demo to see if this is a game you will enjoy. Happy gaming! Show less

I recommend this game!

Beautiful, colorful graphics! I avoid games that seem to proceed during night hours only, or appear to be worlds of nothing but purple and blue, so this game appealed to me. It didn't disappoint! I enjoyed this game, and will be one of those I play again.

I recommend this game!

This is a great Halloween game. Graphics are outstanding, voiceovers are excellent, and the challenge is just right. Wish I'd bought the CE. Not finished yet but had to stop to write this review. Very impressed with the entire game.

Your parents and uncle try on creepy masks only to become possessed by them. Defeat the boogeyman before it's too late!

This game is reminiscent of R.L. Stine's The Haunted Mask, which I was always a big fan of. The graphics were amazing, the puzzles were challenging and the HO games were a lot of fun. I loved that so much of this game was interactive (like clicking on a balloon that floats away) and that the HO games were very layered in a way that I've never seen before. It took me all Halloween day to finish this, so it's nice and long. Enjoy this on Halloween or year around! Show less

It's a perfect Halloween game with a spooky scenery and great graphics!
You easilly get into creepy atmosphere.
I enjoyed the game very much!
Great puzzles, not too hard, but challenging and innovative!
The only reason why I gave this game four stars, it's because the storyline was predictible and not that interesting.
Overall, it's a great Halloween game!

I recommend this game!

Completed Game approximately just under 6 Hours
(including completion of all puzzles and CE Bonus Chapter)
*25 Scene Locations +11 in the CE Bonus Chapter*

NEVER open up Pandora's Box of Fears, you never know if urban legends are true, so why risk it? After receiving a video chat from Uncle Oswald and your father trying to scare you on Halloween, you realize that they are both in dire straits after donning a cursed masked. Uncle Oswald ordered the masks for his Sheer Horrors Shop but didn't take the cursed mask warning seriously until it was too late. Unfortunately, the masks are just a tiny piece of the puzzle, the real danger is Pandora's Box of Fears that will summon the Boogeyman and release the fears of every single human!

Hidden Object Scenes:
There are 18 HO Scenes that are all Halloween related and located in interesting locations. Most of the scenes are highly interactive, some of which require switching between scenes. They vary with Interactive List Finds, Pictured Related Item Finds, Silhouetted Shape Finds, Interactive-Progressive Silhouetted Shape Finds (Find and use the item back in the scene to uncover the next item) Matching Pairs Finds, and Multiples of the same Item Finds. There is an alternate Match 3 Game available and one of the achievements are earned for playing a HOP in this alternate puzzle offered.

Mini-Games:
There are 29 Halloween-themed Mini-Games that are available in an Easy or Hard difficulty mode. They are decent puzzles but they have been recycled from previous games, so much so that you probably won't need to read the instructions. Below are brief descriptions of some of my personal favorites:

1-Read the clue and click on the various grid pattern buttons to guide each token to the correct slot.
2-Place beads to complete the patterns on each necklace.
3-Find the right sequence of moves to avoid the traps, you can move forward, backward, or make no move at all for each turn.
4-Select buttons to move ice cream cone sections between columns to complete both cones from bottom to top.
5-Move token to fill all honeycomb-shaped cells.
6-Place gears by aligning symbols.

Bonus Chapter (Collector's Edition Version Only)
The Bonus Chapter is an above-average length prequel that takes place over 11 scene locations. Pandora's Box of Fears is stolen by a father who believes that he can summon the Boogeyman to cure his daughter's fears and subsequence nightmares. There are 5 Hidden Object Scenes and 7 Mini-Games and the CE Extra's continue with the final Book of Monster Page, 3 Morphing mythical Figures and 9 Collectible Coins which allows you to purchase the final Trophies in the Trophy Room.

Collector's Edition Extra's:
20 Wallpapers, 20 Concept Art Pictures, 31 Movie Video Cutscenes, 5 Music, 33 Achievements, 18 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 20 Replayable Mini-Games, 15 Morphing Figures, 15 Book of Monster Pages (15 Monster Descriptions) 60 Collectible Coins (purchase 15 items in Trophy Room) Trophy Room (purchase 15 items with Collectible Coins) 7 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a Built-In Strategy Guide.
