It has good graphics, easy on the ears SFX, an interesting storyline and challenging, diversified puzzles that are unique, all making this game worth the purchase price in itself.
If you enjoy more of an adventure mix to your H0 gameplay and yearn for something outside of the proverbial 'box' I'm pretty certain you will enjoy this game as much as I did.
Definitely check it out! Show less

I'd been looking at this game for awhile but hesitated because of the so-so reviews. Ended up buying it on one of the deals and actually really enjoyed it. It's not long and creepy and really in depth, but it did make me think and was easy to keep up with.

I'd been looking at this game for awhile but hesitated because of the so-so reviews. Ended up buying it on one of the deals and actually really enjoyed it. It's not long and creepy and really in depth, but it did make me think and was easy to keep up with. Too often in these games you end up with so many things to do you lose track of where you are and what you're doing. This game kept just enough things in your inventory to remind you what you needed to do. And if you got a bit stumped about what to do next, you would get a HOG that would give you what you needed when you needed it, directing you where you needed to go. A nice, steady, laid back game that makes you think. Show less

Nice old fashioned game with few bells and whistles, but thoughtfully written. It helps if you use a magnifying glass like I did, some of the drawings are tiny and not so well drawn. (I got a child's one, and it works fine.)
Excellent HOPA with a lot of HOS. No map, and the hints are limited: you need to pick something in your inventory and pull it over on top of the hint and then it will show

Nice old fashioned game with few bells and whistles, but thoughtfully written. It helps if you use a magnifying glass like I did, some of the drawings are tiny and not so well drawn. (I got a child's one, and it works fine.)
Excellent HOPA with a lot of HOS. No map, and the hints are limited: you need to pick something in your inventory and pull it over on top of the hint and then it will show you a picture of where it can be used. This is only helpful if you've already been to the place you need to go, so don't be too anxious to get hints. But if you wander around and click on things you will figure it out. Actually I found it relaxing and challenging at the same time.
One funny thing, if you click “too often” in the HOS a fog arises all round and you have to wait to go on. But if you wave your cursor back and forth you get a wave of rainbow colored mist which is amusing rather than the old just freeze the game that is so irritating. This is only in the HOS'. Every place else, go ahead and click away!
It’s a very long game too, so you get your money’s worth. I found myself reminded that we've been sort of spoiled with all what some call "hand holding" in newer games. There is no urgency in this old game, you are encouraged to explore and figure things out.
There is another game, a companion to this, that I will try out in a bit - it's called Mystic Diary: Lost Brother.
I really recommend this game to HOG fans:)

This game had several locations to explore and I enjoyed all the Hidden Object scenes as well as the puzzles. It wasn't too difficult but kept you entertained. This is what I refer to as my "sit back and enjoy the day" game. It doesn't take two or more days to complete, so I feel like I accomplished something. It truly is a fun game to play.
I recommend this game!

The plot is to stop a magician's ghost and to free trapped souls that are haunting the woods and to find and stop a villain before it is too late. Not that spectacular and nothing out of the ordinary but it is still a servicable game. There are no voice overs and there is minimal reading that does not bog you down.

The plot is to stop a magician's ghost and to free trapped souls that are haunting the woods and to find and stop a villain before it is too late. Not that spectacular and nothing out of the ordinary but it is still a servicable game. There are no voice overs and there is minimal reading that does not bog you down. The graphics are good, clear and precise and colourful. The puzzles and mini games are quite detailed and some are a bit tricky to try and fathom out but all are good and entertaining. Some of the hidden objects are a bit hard to find as they blend in with the somewhat dark backgrounds in a few scenes. Some are quite easy to find whilst others require closer inspection and a bit of a hint. Show less

I thought this game was a fairly straightforward, simple game. It was somewhat challenging, but not difficult. The graphics were well done, and I thought the puzzles weren't too bad - some of the same old ones in every game. The HOS were OK. The story leaves a little to be desired, but all-in-all, I thought the game was enjoyable.
I recommend this game!
