Pretty good game. Has 3 modes to play. Not your easy game to play but still worth the time.
Has Voice over and the music is good. The graphics are also pretty good.
Has a map
Hint button works good and I needed it
The HOS are good and the puzzles can be hard. Some good and some a challenge.
Has a pretty good flow to the game.

I recommend this game!

This is what gaming is all about. Excellent adventure! I played through the CE in one sitting and it’s on my current list of favourites. Just had to comment on the SE as well.

The storyline is compelling and completely immersive. When your boss acquires a mystical map and needs your help to defend against supernatural forces, a quest that begins in a suburban mansion leads you deep into a Mayan jungle.

Stunning graphics and artwork are always a plus for me. I am also pleased that the gameplay provides plenty to do in each scene, with lots of challenge. The map (not interactive) and task list assist, but you have to think outside the box and that is the most fun of all!

Engaging cutscenes, unobtrusive music and ambient sound enhance the atmosphere. I have become dreadfully tired of HOS, being and adventurer at heart, but the HOS in this game surprised me. I was expecting the usual (ho…hum) lists, but discovered it was necessary in some cases to manipulate the elements in sequence to obtain the item needed. (I actually enjoyed these ones.) A nice change!

I can’t comment on the ending of this version as I have only played the demo, but I can say that the collectibles and achievements add significantly to the challenge factor in the CE and the bonus chapter is worth every minute. Honestly, I do prefer the CE. However, even without the extras, this game still has so much to offer that I have to give it five stars anyway.

Whatever version you choose, do not miss this game. It is a keeper! Show less

I recommend this game!

The graphics on this game are just lovely and the game is very well developed. Skillful story, even though its premise is quite old. Lots and lots to do - even from the very beginning - and it stays that way. The map is a little unusual and quite refreshing in that it shows the location and you if move over the location, it tells you all the tasks that you have to complete for that location. ...Show more

I do not usually review games but I have to say this was by far one on my favorite games in a long time. The storyline was unique enough to keep me intrigued. Graphics and sound were fantastic. Cut scenes were very well done and took me by surprise a few times. The puzzles were great and some reminded me of the MCF door puzzles that I love. They are not all that easy and take some patients. HO scenes were interactive and clear. Another big plus is that just when I thought I was about done with the game I found that you travel to another location where you feel as though you get an entire second game. The hint system rocked. The map was great giving you pictures and undone tasks. Can't wait for the next one! Show less

you'll love getting them to operate in what seem to be the HObject version in this game. I only did the demo, but was refreshed by that clever interaction required for those scenes. Another refreshing bit...a keyhole through which you look and have to determine what is significant to key in on. There was enough difficulty in things not being obvious and yet once one figured it out, it was "of course, why didn't I think of that sooner?" I thought to buy it with the .99cent special added to the day's special of $2.99, but even though BF showed that as a possibility, it does not work. l'm going to have to wait and buy it with a coupon. However, I will buy it soon. Show less

You think the game has ended when it is only half way through. Lots of challenging puzzles and not too many boring HOS, some of which have things to interact in order to collect the objects first.
There is a map, but it only tells you what there is still left to do on it.
Hint charger tells you how much time is left to fully charge.
Good graphics. Good story line. A good game to occupy yourself ...Show more

it has a diary. great/rich graphics. mini games are more logic which i don't do well but my 12 y.o. did fine. you are trying to save your boyfriend whose life force is being drained so a spirit can live. played casual, low sound. hint/skip charge in a minute. it will handhold you through it if you use the hints a lot.
sequel????? i think so!!!

The story line was unique and I really liked the mini games, I thought they were fun and challenging. Some I had never seen the mechanics of before.

I thought the guy in this(the one you are saving from death) looked exactly like Bruce Campbell, the guy from the Evil Dead series of movies. Great job guys, on this game! Show less

Just finished the game, and all I can say is, it's so worth the money. The puzzles are challenging, and the map gives you a list of the tasks that still need to be done. It doesn't portal you to that location, but it's not needed as there isn't a lot of back and forth required. The story is a little different, but to me that's not what is important.

It doesn't portal you to that location, but it's not needed as there isn't a lot of back and forth required. The story is a little different, but to me that's not what is important. Not a lot of HOS, which I like. This game has more puzzles, which is what I LOVE in a game, and this one gave a lot of great and challenging ones. The length is very good, and just when you thought it was about to end, it goes into another chapter, and continues on with lots more puzzles and stuff to locate and do.
I don't give out a lot of 5 stars for games, but IMO it deserved these stars. I wish there were more games like this one. Show less
