differently from other games in series, Dark Tales: Edgar Allan Poe's, maintains the same high quality in graphics, sound, atmosphere, environment, challenge, and a lot of great mini-games included in a excellent story!
You really feel inside the story!
I really appreciate the irony and charm of comments that appear in certain scenes!
I recommend this game!

ERS has good games. I enjoy more hunting for clues than mostly HO and puzzles. Worth the money. All the dark tales are good.

One of my favourite series, these are true to Poe in their creepiness and subtleness. The artwork fits and the gloomy atmosphere is well-suited for the plot. I cant complain. Its simple but beautiful in its simplicity. The Poe series never disappoints.
I recommend this game!

I'm a cat lover so would not have minded though. Once again another excellent Dark Tales game. Scenes, music and mood is creepy and so is the mansion. I didn't mind getting my clues from the strategy guide when I got stuck instead of just hitting the hint button all the time.
Another must-have game that can be replayed over the years with the Premature Burial.
I recommend this game!

This is the second of the Dark Tales from ERS, and brilliantly handled. Once again you're partnered with the dashing Detective Dupin to solve a mystery inspired by Poe's stories. This time, the adventure takes you to a contraption-filled mansion that was once home to an illusionist, and currently belongs to a man named Mark Davies. Monsieur Davies' wife Sarah is missing, and he hires the pair of you to solve the disappearance. But all is not as it seems, because a mysterious black cat keeps appearing... and so does Sarah.
Lots of genuinely scary moments in here, but all in good fun. I loved the mansion where the game takes place. The music enhances the atmosphere without being overwhelming, and the bonus chapter makes everything that much more deliciously creepy as you learn what caused everything to go horribly wrong.
Great job, ERS! Show less
I recommend this game!
