This is one of my favorite series of games, and I still enjoy the ongoing saga endured by Edward and Lynn. This Witches legacy began when Carrie rescued Lynn from Elizabeth, a terrible witch who killed Lynn's family, and turned her poor dog into an Imp!

This is one of my favorite series of games, and I still enjoy the ongoing saga endured by Edward and Lynn. This Witches legacy began when Carrie rescued Lynn from Elizabeth, a terrible witch who killed Lynn's family, and turned her poor dog into an Imp! (I will admit I love that glowing eyed Imp)The legacy continued when the Queen of witches, Morgana, tried to lure Lynn to the darkside, thankfully Lynn resisted and vowed to only use her powers for the good of mankind. She met Edward and they fell in love, their relationship hit a bump when Lynn discovered that Edward was a witch hunter! They worked out their problems, and were married one year ago. The drama continues in Slumbering Darkness, when a powerful sorcerer kidnaps Edward with a harsh demand, that Lynn follows willingly, or never see Edward again! Just like the previous Witches Legacy's, Lynn uses her witch powers to create portals that allow her (and you of course) to travel to weird places in an attempt to rescue Edward from the evil sorcerer.

That cute Imp (wonder what he looked like as a dog?) has donned his backpack, and waits patiently to retrieve items that otherwise would have to be written off. There are plus signs on some of the inventory items that indicate some type of interaction is required before you can use that item, such as, combining that item with another inventory item. The Collectors Edition has several achievements to earn, including using the Imp's assistant, and has 36 hidden jigsaw pieces that can be assembled when you find all pieces, to learn a story about that character. There are also 33 Morphing objects to find which is my favorite feature, so I opted for the Collectors Edition of this game.

The Hidden Object Scenes are extremely interactive, you might have to find items such as keys or masks, to unlock the list first, and then there are several items that are interactive within the listed objects. You can opt to play a Matching game, by flipping over two cards at a time to match identical pictures, but the HOP's are really entertaining and none are boring in my opinion. Mini games are just as entertaining, there are small games in zoomed in areas where you have to find several objects on the outside of the zoom, and there are longer, more complicated games such as leading a train to the tunnel. There are three trains of different lengths, that need to be guided to different slots in order to clear the tracks to allow the train that the imp is conducting, to the tunnel.

The Collectors Edition of Witches Legacy: Slumbering Darkness has Wallpapers, Screensavers, Achievements, an Art gallery, 36 hidden Puzzle Pieces, 33 Morphing Objects, Soundtracks, Puzzles, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter. Either edition is top notch entertainment, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

REVIEW FROM COMPLETED GAME AND BONUS

This is a fantastic game and definitely worth playing.

Lynn and Edward have been married now for 1 year. However, Lynn gets kidnapped by Morgana and Mathias and Edward gets turned into a doll. Edward stays in your inventory and helps out by making tools, etc from his tool belt.

You can turn off Hint, Skip and Sparkles and turn on the HO penalty. I love having these features to make it as hard as I can.

There is:

* Voiceovers (with dialogue);
* Casual, Normal, Hard and Custom modes of play;
* Interactive map;
* Imp to help you locate objects out of your reach.

The graphics are fabulous - colourful, crisp and easy on the eye. Its very easy to roam around and find everything you need. There are no dark or blurry bits anywhere.

Sound and music are very good. Music is orchestral and plays quietly in the background.

The interactive HOS had a variety of silhouette and straightforward. Some were find one item to use to locate another item, etc. These had a good challenge to them, but not too difficult. If you don't feel like doing HOS then you can play matching pairs instead.

I loved the great variety of mini-games. Some were move the figurines to the right slots; lead the train to the tunnel; clear the board of tokens; connect the dots on the constellation; light up all the gems; burn the blocks according to numbers; collect all the plants (that one was hard); move the crystals to the bases that match their colour, etc. Some of these mini-games had a really good challenge which took some time to do. However, wine helps!

The interactive map shows where tasks are to be performed in case you get stuck. I found I didn't need to use it because you don't have to venture off too far and its easy to remember where tasks are to do. But its there if you need it.

So, do you get the CE or SE? Personally I found the CE definitely worth buying. It has 33 morphing objects and 36 puzzle pieces to find, which have a good challenge. The bonus is a good length too, where you play Lynn to find and help Edward and to defeat Mathias before midnight. All up the game and bonus took me about 8 hours, give or take.

Definitely recommended. I loved it and can't wait for the next episode. Show less

I recommend this game!

You play the mother on the search for her daughter Lynn and hubby, who were abducted by the bad witch at a county fair. Well thought out story, plot, conclusion.
Everything about this game is excellent.
I will be trying out the other games in this series.
The other reviews were very helpful, and on the mark!

I recommend this game!

Actually I bought this game because of Alexey Arhipov's music – and was pleasantly surprised by the game itself. I don't care much for all this rune and witch stuff, however it was a long game and quite fun to play, especially the cleverly and carefully designed HOGs. I give Elefun credit for its splendid HOGs where you never will see items, which you already picked up the first time, when you visit a scene again.

The horrible imp is alas still alive. He repelled me already in the „Charleston Curse“, the only other game of the series which I know. Now he acts as cute, little helper. I don't get it. If we must have a cute, little helper, why do they give us instead an ugly, creepy monstrosity? I wish they would have implemented a tool to kick this imp. According to the story he was once a dog, and I agree with firebird40: better they would have left him that way. Though I liked the Ed puppet. He was rather average than cute but had at least no glowing eyes ;)

But as I said, I was after the music. I became aware of Arhipov in the latest "Fear for Sale" game: he contributed 20 tracks of superb ambient music. For „Slumbering Darkness“ he made however only half as many; maybe it was his first game as a composer. Well, it's rather low-key here, but he IS terrific. Just listen to the wry medley he mixed for the credits. I hope in future he will be exempt from scripting to concentrate fully on music. Can't wait for the next game with Arhipov's compositions ...

I recommend this game!
