Die hard HOG players and 'wow' seeking gamers may have rated this low, yet if you enjoy a superb STORY along with your graphics (ie wine with your steak versus soda with junk food) PLUS enjoy truly great sound in your games... voice and music, as well as intricately detailed scenes (including the H0G scenes), check this out.

I am thoroughly enjoying this great little tale... more 'scary' than the games with bells and whistles (to me) because you have to use your imagination and, in addition, it takes place in realistic, historically correct locations with accurate info.

I suggest wearing headphones to truly appreciate the subtle quality in this game as far as the sound factor; it is TRULY IMPRESSIVE! Dialiect and accents are top notch; atmospheric sound... the best. Crickets chirping in the background, etc... nice!!!

The dimly lit areas are appropriate to the setting and time of day of each scene.

A quality, enjoyable little thrill.... check it out and remember to expect simply done quality, not quantity in terms of the whole package.

Thumbs UP!

I really enjoyed playing the 60 minute demo on this game. The graphics were good and I especially liked the interesting story. Caroline has to find her father and it takes her from Paris to Transylvania search a mysterious castle and beyond. This is a sure buy for me!

I recommend this game!

This is a straight HOG with mini puzzles.
Very challenging.
Minimal, lame storyline.
Based on the demo.
I'm buying it right now.
Loved it.

I like straight up HOGs. That's exactly what this one is. There's plenty of mini puzzles. I really like the fact that the mini puzzles & HOG scenes don't seem to repeat.

I recommend this game!

- nice storyline, very good VO's
- HO scenes very large, sometimes even 2 screens
- long lists of objects to find, which I love!
- in every scene a bonus object
- mini games can be replayed once you played them in the main game
- music to intrusive for me, I muted it.

All in all, one of the best HO games I ever played!
Have to recommend it, for me it was an instant buy! Show less

I love hidden object games, this one was very difficult. I had to replay some areas, because visual quality is poor. But, there are hints, and skip, which make the game playable..

I recommend this game!

Although the game has only one difficulty setting, it is made so that you don't have to be an enthusiast to be able to go through the whole story but also offers that necessary brain tease so that the boredom factor doesn't kick in.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone that likes a well written scenario for an HO game.

Finally, a hidden object game with great voice-over! To think that the producers endowed this mystery adventure with such great voice acting shows their attention to detail. This is also seen in the beautiful settings with unique atmosphere and music. The story is well chosen and will be appreciated by fans of vampire tales and movies all around the world.

I really liked this game, The story and music were really good and easy to follow. Though I do have some minor gripes, the first of all is kind of an elephant in the room, why is the game in parts? To be precise five parts (according to some info I uncovered) it doesn't make sense to me, I'd understand if it was in two parts, but five? I was lost there.

I really liked this game, The story and music were really good and easy to follow. Though I do have some minor gripes, the first of all is kind of an elephant in the room, why is the game in parts? To be precise five parts (according to some info I uncovered) it doesn't make sense to me, I'd understand if it was in two parts, but five? I was lost there. Second, while I don't mind voice acting in games because I feel it adds something extra to the game, the accents just didn't seem to fit, especially the fathers accent and voice it just sounded so obviously fake/forced. Third some of the objects were just too hard to find, either because of the lighting/background or because they were so small that there were impossible to find because of said lighting and background. Finally we were timed and scored, why? Personally I don't like those kinds of games were we have to find things in a said amount of time. But that's just me.
Anyway, this game is good and I am looking forward to the other parts in the future, I just hope that they aren't as short as this first part. Show less

I recommend this game!
