Another shortish game but it is atmospheric, fun, spooky and quirky. There are cute little Dracula's to find in each scene, which is a nice little side task/challenge, in an otherwise basic HOG with mini puzzles.
This is the same style, graphics, sound effects and gameplay as Park Rangers. It's like a Halloween Park Rangers, without the Park Rangers. There are golden pumpkins to find in each scene and there are objects to find as a side task. There are also trophies to get and money to collect, to buy souveniers from the shop. It's mostly hidden object scenes with mini games, which have a two minute skip button. It's also very nicely spooky.
This is an old school HOG with old school spookiness. It's mostly hidden object scenes with unlimited quick charging hints and some easy mini games with a quick rechargeable skip. The sound effects are great, if a little cheesy at times, but there's some kind of wild animal growl in there that gets me everytime and makes my skin crawl. The game's a little short, but very relaxing. There are candy canes to collect and treats to get and tricks that pounce on you from dark doorways. A very fun game.
A mysterious fortune teller has foreseen her demise at midnight this very day. Can you find the soul who seeks to kill Madame Fate? You be the detective.
This is quirky, fun and atmospheric, with hidden object scenes with moving parts! (i.e I really like the T.V in the clown's caravan). The objects are extremely well hidden at times. You only get two options, a long timed option and a short timed option. There are only five hints per level. So that, and the time limit, and the sometimes difficult to find objects, make it quite challenging. I like the graphics and the design of this game. The sound effects are good too. There are skips on mini games right up until the end. There were lots of word games which I liked. At the end though, there's a kind of boss puzzle that won't let you skip, yet has five useless hints. Overall, I feel that you do get your moneys worth on this one, but only if you like challenging hidden object scene after challenging hidden object scene and nothing else!
This is a sort of sequel to Huntsville, with similar graphics and sound and certainly a few of the hidden objects from Hunstsville sneaked their way into this one. It's challenging because there are only four hints in each chapter and each chapter consists of several hidden object scenes. Also there is no skip on the mini game at the end of each chapter. They mixed it up a bit here by having either jigsaws, match-a-pair, or wordsearch as their mini games. It's just not easy to find those objects sometimes and I had to rerun a couple of chapters. In each level, you will return to play the same scenes again and again, to find different objects. The best thing about the scenes, is the quirky dark humour. There are so many subtle and not so subtle visual comedy moments, which make it a classic in my eyes.
One of the very first HOG's I ever played. There is so much nostalgia in this game, from the charming old school atmosphere, sound and graphics, to the quirky humour and sometimes difficult to find hidden objects! I like the cartoon style of the criminals. For a basic HOG, this game is exciting and challenging and is a far cry from the dumbed down HOG's of today. For starters, each chapter of HOS is timed and there are only three hints allowed for the whole chapter. There is also a timer at the jigsaw type puzzle at the end of each chapter but that time is left over from the HOS, so you do have your work cut out! There is also no skip button for that, so if you work well under pressure...
A fun and addictive match 3 game. Cook your way to the top with Louie, the aspiring chef and his secret cooking companion...er...a rat. He remains a secret of course, can't have rats in the kitchen. There are five different national cuisines that Louie has to conquer with his culinary skills. I enjoyed this a lot considering I don't like Match 3 that much. It's good for beginners of this genre, not too taxing but still holds a little bit of a challenge. It is quite old though and I think it shows at times. I liked the sound of the chained food unlocking most of all.
Just loved this atmospheric game with its dark humour and old school graphics, sound effects and style. You will find yourself going back and forth a lot though. It doesn't play in a very linear way, quite the opposite. You think you've finished with one scene/section but you never are. That has a certain appeal, or else, could understandably frustrate some people. I had to look at the walkthrough a couple of times but it didn't affect the play too much. Very long hint recharge on HOS. The puzzles were unique, interesting and fun for the most part. Seemed like a very long game to me. It was challenging, exciting and addictive in equal measure.
I really enjoyed this game. it plays like the 'Delicious' games, it is by the same developers and has almost exactly the same gameplay, trophies and diamonds to collect. The gameplay is smooth, straight forward and well paced. Unlike a lot of storylines in 'Delicious', this one is bright and fresh and the atmosphere is much lighter. It has its dark moments, but they are few and far between. I loved the restaurants too. They actually serve food!
Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story-if you escape.
I bought this about a year ago, played it, and tried playing it again today, but this time, I quit early on. I like the genre a lot and the atmosphere and environmental sound effects are great. Momma's Room in particular, I like and there are more memorable and fascinatingly morbid and grotesque moments but...and it's a big but...the gameplay is terrible. No hints, except in places where you don't need them, like the morphing scenes. Tedious, annoying, stilted...and it crashed too. You keep having to go backwards and forwards all the time and The Walkthrough is a friend that will overstay their welcome. This game won't hold your hand, it will get you lost in the store on purpose. 'I want my mummy!' you'll cry, but no-one will come.
