Don't let the title fool ya, plenty of dark forces in this game of good vs. evil. As you search for Sophie within the dark and mysterious wall of Unicorn Castle, you will be given Karmic Choices which will affect the outcome of the game at some point.

Don't let the title fool ya, plenty of dark forces in this game of good vs. evil. As you search for Sophie within the dark and mysterious wall of Unicorn Castle, you will be given Karmic Choices which will affect the outcome of the game at some point. You will get this opportunity as you speak to the spirits of the castle, do you help these restless spirits or shrug your shoulders and tell them you're too busy? You will also get to choose how you react towards scorpions and piranhas, do you take the gentle approach or squash those ugly creatures? (I chose the opposite from CE to see the difference!) Another cool feature this game has is with the hint button, if you use the hint button, you will need to catch a plasma ball when it appears in order to use another hint. The hidden object scenes are interactive list finds, you find a pan of water, put the pan on the burner, find an egg, place the egg into the pan to get a boiled egg! If you randomly click on a HOS, magic ruins will appear that require you to trace the symbol to unlock the scene again. There are a lot of mini games, none of which are difficult such as placing the correct number of wires leading to light bulbs in order to light them up. Sit back and relax, choose a side, good/evil moral/sinful/ right/wrong unicorn/rats and enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

The storyline is very good and pulls you right in from the start. Good music too that enhances the creepy feel of the game. HOS and puzzles are very good fun.

The game is long, I played abour 6-7 hours and loved every second of it! I'm sure you will too if you like the scary games! Show less

My review of the CE Version: An adventure game with plenty of objects to find and use. Only a few HOPs though. The graphics are crisp and special effects are outstanding. Hint works wonderfully and gives you clear direction. Wisps will flow through the air while the hint is recharging; catch them and immediately refill the hint.

My review of the CE Version: An adventure game with plenty of objects to find and use. Only a few HOPs though. The graphics are crisp and special effects are outstanding. Hint works wonderfully and gives you clear direction. Wisps will flow through the air while the hint is recharging; catch them and immediately refill the hint.

KARMIC: I really liked the karmic choices - you have two choices of dealing with a puzzle and whichever you chose has implications in future game play. So you have to think of what the consequences could be. Note that both objects which you can chose will disappear from inventory, even though you can use only one.

There are a number of achievements to accomplish, but they have counterparts. So you have to think of how to accomplish all of them so that you can get the achievement for meeting all of them. For example: you get an achievement for helping the blacksmith and you get one for not helping him. So you have to figure out how to help and not help him.

Find 45 hidden pumpkins, which are usually hidden in plain sight. Puzzles are easy to figure out - you just have to find what you need to finish them (and that may be several scenes away). HOS are mildly crowded, but detailed, so you can find things even when the hues are similar. An entertaining game Show less

I recommend this game!

The game was really long and the story line was interesting. The map was helpful to travel back and forth between locations. The game is a bit on the darker side so colors were not that bright. This made finding HO a bit challenging. All in all, I enjoyed playing the game.

I recommend this game!

After your into the game, you start collecting several objects in your inventory and visiting several locations. The map is a great help in showing you what areas still have objectives and HOS. The hint button will continue guiding you from one location to another until you reach the location where you need to be. It will then point you to the area of attention. So I never really felt lost and wondering what to do next (which I find isn't always the case).

So, if you haven't yet tried this game don't miss out on a game you also might really enjoy. Show less

One of those games that doesn't seem excellent within the demo time frame. However, much to my surprise and happy amazement, is a wow factor once play is continued. I settled for the standard and wish to trade it in for the Collector's Edition. Is that possible? There's actually challenge, good puzzles and the hidden objects were fun, much like the older games were at one time. They did not interfere with the game, no, they added to the game. Yada-yada-yada. Story is abduction for evil purposes, but who notices when the entertainment factor is far greater. It's not here's evil, here's good--with a series of boredom to conquer evil. Atmosphere, artwork, music, all superbly excellent. Loved, loved, loved the game! Thanks so much developers! Job well done!
Enjoy! Happy 4th y'all. Show less

This game is a must for a great challenge. The story kept my interest, the puzzles gave me a great challenge and the dialogue was not drawn out.

I would have passed looking into this game based on the title, but it was listed over at the left under "Current Favorite" by a reviewer when I was checking out another game. (I have found some of the best games that way!) If it's good enough for someone to list, I'll give it a go. Usually glad I did.

I would have passed looking into this game based on the title, but it was listed over at the left under "Current Favorite" by a reviewer when I was checking out another game. (I have found some of the best games that way!) If it's good enough for someone to list, I'll give it a go. Usually glad I did.

It started out kind of slow, but just kept getting better and better, with a surprise around every corner. Not the least of which were the "Kharmic Choices" you were asked to make at times. You could either be nice and helpful, or rude and aloof. I'm going to turn right around and play this again (I rarely play the same game twice), but this time opt for rude..just to see the difference.

Others have done a fine job describing the Storyline, so I won't take up your time by re-hashing it.

The HOP's were well done and creative. Some items were smallish for these eyes of mine, and I had to use the hint button more than once. Some had a touch of whimsy.

The mini-games were in a range of challenge. Most were doable, but I had to finally skip the chessboard one. There were quite a few game related new puzzles, that were awesome. Quite fun.

Am I glad I bought it? YES! Will I play it again? YES!

Even by 2017 standards, it is a very good game.
Try it! I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Show less

I recommend this game!

The HOS were great, with beautiful graphics, interesting attention to detail, are gentle on the eye, and yet clear enough to find hidden objects. The game play is exciting and atmosheric with good environmental sound effects. You also have to make moral choices, now and again. For example, do you choose to kill the giant ant, or feed it some cake to make it go away. It's your choice.

I recommend this game!
