I remember playing the first one a couple years ago and I never knew the name of it! It was driving me crazy because I wanted to find it again. Then I found this game and I instantly downloaded it I was so excited. It was very challenging. I loved the creepy music while playing, it made me jump a couple of times (lame huh? :). If you don't have patience, then this game is definitely not for you. I like searching for the objects you need later in the game. I had no idea about the extra puzzles until I played it. I loved it because the extra puzzles gave a twist I was not expecting. Show less

From start to finish, this game has good hidden object scenes, creative puzzles, and a captivating story which is very good length. It's by far one of the top hidden object games ever.

The storyline is gripping and you sit riveted, eager to unravel more and more!
Music is astounding- The Berlin Film Orchestra have created a perfect soundtrack to accompany the creepy, sad, lonely atmosphere, greatly adding to the whole feel of the game.
*Puzzles- brilliant, challenging and varied. The first game of its kind to introduce the 'interactive' element of a hidden object game: being able to pick up or collect a hidden object item and use it to unlock or add to a puzzle.
*Hidden object scenes- fun, well hidden and not too overwhealming.
*Graphics- excellent! Clean and clear and the artwork is just divine.
Return to Ravenhearst has set the ultimate benchmark for game perfection, of which no game in my estimation has come close to matching it yet.

I loved it, along with it's theme. I trialed Prime Suspects, and liked it.

I loved it, along with it's theme. I trialed Prime Suspects, and liked it.
I played Ravenhearst, and also liked it. I was a little bored of the whole find objects thing with Madame Fate.
Years later, I bought this. It is excellent!
It has adventure gameplay, which everyone LOVES! We like to be able to walk around. It had a great storyline, with neat puzzles, graphics, and sound!
Graphics:
It looks pretty real for a hidden object games. Not just the areas, but the characters look like real people # I think they are, though )!
Storyline:
The storyline is excellent. It features a true mystery, only a detective can solve! Trust me, Emma's story was far from the end...
Level of Challenge:
It took a while for me. The puzzles are the most challenging, and collecting tools. But that's the fun part!
Also, I greatly enjoyed the soundtrack.
Now, before you play., know this. The average detective wouldn't go near this place! You aren't alone! No, i don't mean the ghosts, I mean the evil that lurks beneath.... with a sidekick that picks his nose! Enjoy the game, it's totally worth it!! Show less

To me this is the grandaddy of this type of game. It's the first one I played where I went "Wow" and got completely obsessed. Just avoid the Whack a Trolls! They are very evil. You can't win. They make you crazy!

One of the best I've played. A winner from stem to stern.
The scenes are moody, with just the right touch of - well - I guess you'd call it bizarre humor. Good story line, too.
The HO scenes weren't terribly difficult, but were very well done. The puzzles were anywhere from moderately challenging up to really, really hard.

There was quite a lot of running around from scene to scene to find what was needed, but redraws were quick and the journeys weren't burdensome.
All in all, one heck of a game. Show less
