Help the inspector to investigate missing of a young sailor, find out what happened and who is behind it !
2 modes of play: easy with no miss-click penalty in HOS, fast hint recharge, sparkle indicators; hard with penalties, fewer helpful sparkles, slower hint recharge.
Storyline is fantastic, if you are familiar with the original Sweeny Todd you will know what to expect. A great mystery with elements of horror and of course beautiful music!
Graphics are really good, I loved the whole look of London, perfect rainy atmosphere and detailed locations.
Map is very helpful, it allows you to travel through many different locations in London. You have a list of evidence for each chapter.
Speaking of hidden object scenes, well I must say, I was a bit disappointed. Way too many of them, and also most of HOS were like a junkpile so I wasn’t able to spot objects so easy.
Puzzles on the other side were fun, mostly easy but entertaining.
Despite the problem I had with HOS I enjoyed a lot playing this one!
I recommend it! Show less

I recommend this game!

Enjoyable game. Lots of HO and a good flow to the game. The HO will keep you looking hard but you do have a hint button if needed.

This is a great game. In fact, I like it so much, I will probably play it over again, which I rarely do, as there are so many other games to play instead of replaying one.

The storyline was awesome. The cut scenes were sung and felt like you were watching a stage play of the story. They were mesmerizing. The voice overs were also fantastic and fit each character perfectly. I never play with ...Show more

This is a great game. In fact, I like it so much, I will probably play it over again, which I rarely do, as there are so many other games to play instead of replaying one.

The storyline was awesome. The cut scenes were sung and felt like you were watching a stage play of the story. They were mesmerizing. The voice overs were also fantastic and fit each character perfectly. I never play with music, so can't tell you about that part.

I played the advanced mode and it was pretty challenging. I found myself using hints a lot, usually for just one or two hard items in the HOS or to open the Strategy Game. I also used the built in strategy guide for some of the games.

In the advanced mode, you get a grade after each chapter. This straight-A student was surprised when I earned C's and B's for my work. A B got you the title of Sleuth, a C the title of Flatfoot. These grades are based on several factors, like how fast you played, how many bad clicks you made in the HOS, how well you did on the mini games, etc. My overall rating on the end of the game was a C, which was hard for me to take. I might play this game over to try to get my score up.

The game had a map that you could use to move from place to place and it also showed when you had completed a location. This was very helpful.

In the advanced mode, the skip button for the games charged very, very slowly, as did the hint button. Although the Strategy Guide was built into the game, it was not like any other Guide I have ever seen. You had to use one of you hints to access, which made you have to wait for the hint to recharge. Using a hint allowed you to unlock a portion of the Guide, but what was available to unlock was not necessarily the area you were actually working on. So, you had to use more hints to get to the area of the guide you needed. In essence, you had to use hints to unlock the whole book, whether you needed help in all areas or not. Another unique part of the game.

I loved this game and wish there were more games in the Penny Dreadful series. Show less

I recommend this game!

This game is for expert HOG players! I only had one HOG that I finished without using the hint button. The puzzles were equally difficult!! One really nice thing about this collectors edition is that you can replay the puzzles and HOGs to better your time. The hint button took about 45 seconds to recharge but was worth the wait. when I got stuck.

I recommend this game!

Anything from the Play Pond is fantastic, including this one. I have never been to London but this game really shows the old side of the city, with lots of rains and fog. If you want to be like a real detective in the 1800s, this game truly delivers. The graphic is awesome, the puzzle is not difficult and the storyline is great.

Anything from the Play Pond is fantastic, including this one. I have never been to London but this game really shows the old side of the city, with lots of rains and fog. If you want to be like a real detective in the 1800s, this game truly delivers. The graphic is awesome, the puzzle is not difficult and the storyline is great. You visit many different kinds of places and scenes and they're all wonderfully drawn, super real life like. The witty Inspector, his comments sometimes sarcastic, but it makes me feel like we are not investigating the murder on our own, but feels like we are Watson and he is Holmes!

One thing I don't like on this game: the musical storyline on the cut out scenes. I dont think it's fits the storyline of a murderer. Maybe it fits the Phantom of the Opera-like games but not dark, creepy character story like Todd.

Well, this one aside, I love everything to it. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a work of art, the HO's are very challenging which is great, nothing easy here. Well drawn, but not over drawn in an enchanted way as we only see these days in the HO games.This game addresses your brain all the way and your eyes. I wish the new games were just as good as this one.It is old fashion in the way you travel from places to places, but the graphics are soooo good ! I will play it again, I want a better score.

Really liked this game. It was challenging yet easy enough to keep going. There was a lot of hidden object searches which I really like. The only downfall was the mini games, there were no instructions on what you needed to do. Some were easy enough to figure out while there were a couple that I had no clue.

I recommend this game!
