Other than the unnecessary, in my opinion LOL, slew of spiders, this is an excellent game. It flows well, the story makes sense. This is not hard cored, this is nice and relaxing, easy paced. Great for any level of player.

I recommend this game!

Elephant Game developers, I have to say that pennmom36 makes a good point about the meaning of Chimera. I think her argument is a valid one. You might argue, why all the fuss and that it's only a game, but facts are facts! Some gamers have higher standards and that's to be respected. So take that as constructive criticism. That aside, I have great respect for Elephant Games' developers and personally feel they have made some great strides and improvements in their games, up to this point. I actually like this game and for the better part am enjoying it quite immensely. It is a great mystery and adventure with a couple of drawbacks, but it's a very good game, nonetheless!

I think the storyline is a bit quirky but doable, and the game flow is much better than their past games but still needs some improvement. The graphics are really beautiful, wonderful voiceovers, cool special effects; a decent hint button and a great map. The minigames and puzzles are top shelf!

What I'm not crazy about is that in any particular scene it takes at least three objects to find in order to complete s specific task. Not a bad thing because it adds to the challenge if you want to call it that. There are wonderful moments in this game.

One other drawback is there are too many items in the inventory and some of them sit there a little too long for my taste. I guess that is part of the strategy.

I'm not sorry that I bought this SE version as opposed to the CE version. Sometimes the CE's offer to many things that are unnecessary. I'm nearing the end of this game so I'm basing my review now before I lose my train of thought. I do recommend this game but I suggest you try it out first. Show less

Was over before I knew it. Perhaps the Collectors Edition adds a bit more to it?

I don't recommend this game.

Completed Game approximately 4.5 hours
(including completion of all puzzles & CE Bonus Chapter)
18 Main Scene Locations +7 in the CE Bonus Chapter
Difficulty Level: Beginner

What the flying, one-eyed bats were these folks drinking at the company Christmas Party? I'd like to remind everyone that a Chimera has the body of a female Lion with a Goat's head protruding from the lion's shoulder, her tail is that of a serpent with a snake's head and she usually has wings similar to a dragon. The Chimeras' in this game are bats with a cyclops eye and vampire fangs. Not only is this the most ridiculous interpretation of a Chimera you could possibly imagine. (unless, of course, they have really good Yuletide "cheer" in Ukraine) but the bats are cartoonish and utterly laughable!

The bizarreness doesn't end with a few fake-looking bats (nor does it start there) one minute you're investigating the disappearance of the Butler and the mansion's owner, the next scene you portal into another dimension with no rhyme or reason. There's no real plot, the story jumps from one focal point to the next, leaving me wondering what the focal point is supposed to be? Is it a Paranormal game? A Mystery? A Detective Who-dun-it game? A Family Drama? A Fantasy game? A Transgender game? A Greek-Mythology, Chimeras game? They were definitely testing their boundaries, which I'm totally okay with, it doesn't bother me, but while pushing the envelope, they lost sight of everything else, like the plot and fun factor which IS a BIG deal, and I'm NOT okay with that!

PS: Why do you have us find a wrench, use that wrench one time, lose the wrench mysteriously after a single use even though there were two zoom zone scenes literally side by side that required a wrench? How could I lose the wrench if I didn't leave the room? Wouldn't it make more sense that I would search the same room for said wrench?

PSS: some of us play a game to earn ALL of the ACHIEVEMENTS. Isn't that the point of offering achievements? Aren't they supposed to be goals you strive to achieve??? WHY would you have an achievement for NOT skipping any of the Mini-Games and another achievement for SKIPPING ALL Mini-Games!!! Why would you offer an achievement for listening to ALL dialogs and one for SKIPPING ALL dialogs? Does that really make sense to you? Who on earth would think it was a great idea to offer achievements which ultimately set's the player up for failure because it's IMPOSSIBLE to earn all of them in one game????????????????

Helper/Gadgets:
I'm pleased to report that there were no Gadgets or Helpers harmed in the making of this game, however, HR is looking into the Yuletide Cheer stockpile shortage which seems to have been depleted unusually fast this year.

Collectibles/Morphs:
They actually got the Morphs and Collectibles right! Each of the 25 scene locations has a Morphing Object that morphs at a nice pace and is well-blended into the background. scenery. The objects morph into a similar object with similar colors which make them less noticeable and somewhat challenging to spot at times. There are 12 Collectible Cards about various Cursed Objects that can be found in some of the Zoom Zones, and they did an incredible job of blending the cards into the scenery as well. I was most impressed with the infamous Elephant Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces. In the past, these puzzle pieces were the size of baby Elephants and could be spotted a mile away, and they were always located in just the Zoom Zones. This time they have hidden 1 jigsaw in the scene itself, and the other 2 in zoom zones, and they are more obscure than in previous games, in fact, some of them are really challenging to spot!

Hidden Object Scenes:
There are 20 Hidden Object Scenes +6 in the CE Bonus Chapter. Most of the scenes are Interactive Lists or Silhouetted Shape Finds but there are Keywords in Sentence Finds, Fragment Finds, Spot the Difference, and Multiples of the Same Object Finds as well. There are no alternate puzzles offered.

Mini-Games:
There are 20 Mini-Games +6 in the CE Bonus Chapter. They are the same puzzles offered in hundreds of other Elephant Games. Here are a few of my favorites from the game:

1-Place flower-shaped pieces onto the board.
2-Align vertical bars so the gaps align with horizontal bars to remove them.
3-Use rotation buttons to guide a ball to the central hole.
4-Select a key section from the left and right sides to swap until all sections interlock.
5-Place skulls correctly according to eye color and shape.

Bonus Chapter (CE version only)
The Carringtons have invited you to their Christmas party but before you can enjoy the Yuletide Festivities and create your own bazaar game you'll have to deal with a former resident of the mansion. This is a short chapter that spans over 7 scene locations with 6 Hidden Object Scenes and 6 Mini-Games available. You will pick up the remaining 3 Collectible Cards, 7 Morphing Objects, and 12 Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces to complete the final 12 pc. Jigsaw Puzzle Screensaver.

Collector's Edition Extra's:
12 Wallpapers, 12 Concept Art Pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 13 Replayable Mini-Games, 13 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 25 Achievements, a Secret Room (timed HOP) 25 Morphing Objects, 12 Collectible Cards (w/ cursed object legends) 48 Jigsaw Puzzle Pieces, 4 Jigsaw Puzzle Screensavers (assemble with collectible jigsaw puzzle pieces) 4 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a Built-In Strategy Guide.
