Good game. Easy going, fun. Love going back and forth between characters but good lord LAY OFF THE PURPLE!!! It's obnoxious and distracting. Would have done five stars otherwise
I recommend this game!

Way too much back and forth.....and silly stars

WAY WAY too much back and forth to a point I stopped playing. I know it's to kill time and make the game longer. It's aggravating. Also, developers aren't listening. We are not in kindergarten. We don't need stars for obvious good choices. People have been complaining about those stars for ages and they don't listen.
The story is lame. Looking for an adventurer looking for Bigfoot who you find in ten minutes. Bigfoot is about as scary as a bunny. The Big foot in a bikini...is just ridiculous. I'm still trying to figure out the goal in this game as it's changed three times. Is the sheriff friend or foe?? Simple conversation they could find out but let's do a ton of useless puzzles and go through all of rooms for one piece of a tool first. I hate ragging on games but honestly, I don't feel there was much effort put into it at all. I'm done with DO games for now. They pump out the games with ENDLESS puzzles and zero story development. This was one of the worst I've ever played. The graphics are great. Loved them. VO's are great! And no bugs. So that's wonderful. But that's it. I'm not buying another DO game until they stop with the silly stars and have an actual good story.
I do NOT recommend as a CE game either. Get it on sale as a SE. It's a good game if you like endless puzzles for no reason.

Seriously i don't buy these games so i can read along. I made the mistake of buying this before finishing the demo. It's a good game but it feels like the developers were too lazy to add voice overs to the game. So I suggest people pass until it's on sale. Why pay full price if they are not going to put in a full effort for the customers.
Rest of it is great. colors and games. Fine. Fun too but no interaction with people ruins it for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Like someone else said. Automatic buy for me but I'm kind of sorry I did. This is probably the very worst one I've ever played. I love this series and was so happy to have the main character back. But he's not witty at all. boring.
It's just him and Damon. Who for some reason sounds like an annoying Joe Pesci. They go to a club and evil demon making the bank successful. That's all for the plot from me. But that's all there is. No effort here.
Game is super purple. No thought put into the graphics. Collectables are those eyes where are impossible to see in some of the scenes. And those little dolls. Was not worth a CE price.
I'm in four rooms going back and forth collecting stuff little by little. It's ridiculous. But I stopped because one game was so stupid with little kitten faces...made for a preschooler. I couldn't deal with it anymore. It was almost insulting.
I think I was more sad that Rick said nothing during the game and Damon with that silly fake accent did all the talking. Not very witty. Just kept getting caught in scooby traps.
I was so excited for this game and I'm so disappointed. I don't recommend paying CE price at all. I am so sorry. I wish I had a better review. I just think they rushed it out and didn't put any thought into it.
I gave it three stars because if it was a SE I'd still buy it.

I agree with the others. I hate those stars. I'm a grown up. Not a child who wants a little star on her forehead for making a good decision.
Some of the clues were off like "make that goal" so I'm looking for a hockey stick or soccer ball...silly me ..it was a basketball hoop. Just little things like that. I got stuck at one point and couldn't use the hint because it didn't help. Just circled the object. I'm not psychic. When I figured it out it truly wasn't the right hint.
Game is fairly easy. But little things like that are annoying.
I like the story and graphics are nice. Little scarecrows are cute. But Ill be honest. I refuse to ever buy a game with these stupid stars again. Never. Ever. Seriously. The developers need to listen to their customers.

I haven't done the bonus game yet. I love the Dark City games especially when the detective is Agatha. I highly recommend this one. Last one was better though. I figured this out in the first five minutes. No fun. No real mystery. But the characters are great. Collectables a little TOO easy to find but dont miss because unless I missed something I couldn't go back. This is a game series I love very much but because the last one was worlds better I couldn't do five stars. They can do better.
It's a lot of fun. Not too many cliche's which I totally hate. Good for all ages over 13. Loved it.
Bonus is a continuation which I think is just great too!
I waited to finish the main game before the review because a lot of times the games are great till the demo is over. Happy to say this one ...aside from being predictable as all get out with easy collectables....was great all the way through.
If we could do 4.5 stars i'd give it that.

This is a fun game. SO HAPPY not to deal with princesses and fairies. etc.... It's modern. Love it. And yeah characters remind me of Murder She Wrote kind of. I think what's happening is obvious but maybe I'm wrong. I did buy it ONLY because I have a TON of points. But I don't feel it's CE worthy at all. I suggest waiting for the SE honestly.
Graphics and voice overs are good. I really am thrilled to have a non fantasy game!!!
I wish they would do away with the 15 second hint/game thing. I know what games I hate and pass on. lol. But the do it I'm sure to make the game seem longer. Just annoys me. Luckily the games are not complicated and well explained. SO they are fun. I totally recommend this game but as I said it's not a good CE at all. They really need to work on that.

It's fine. It downloaded fine. But I did it after the issues apparently. I liked the demo so I bought the game. I wish I hadn't honestly. Not enough collectable fun for it to be CE worthy. LOTS of back and forth. Tons. And I hate HATE those stupid stars. Pick the answer that doesn't make you look like a jerk basically. It's silly and unnecessary. People don't like it. But they don't listen.
Story is fair. Not super interesting. Also I have no idea WHY this happened. No motive so far. It's lacking. Evil person. Okay but why?
I love the colors. They are not overwhelming. I love the creepy dolls and the voice overs are excellent!! Love no hint/skip time. I'm an adult. I know if I dont want to play a game the second I see it.

I don't really recommend it for a CE honestly. But if you have the membership and points it's not bad. Otherwise wait for a sale or the SE version. Totally not worth the CE price. Story is kind of absent....Its the only word I can think of. They need to work on the collectables. But is it a good game. Sure. Just for the cash strapped you may be disappointed.
I recommend this game!

Oh I hated this story. unreal depressing and sorry spoiler alert for those who haven't played. She finds her parents bodies. ew....Just a sad sad game. Too much back and forth. Freezing but that's an issue with the system not the game. I found it tedious and boring honestly. Graphics were great. No real voice overs to talk about other than a minute or two but they were fine. Very dark and depressing. I Liked ALL the mystery trackers games...except this one.
I don't recommend this game.
A gripping tale of mystery and intrigue awaits!

I was excited to play this. I loved the first two. But wow this was pretty dull. I'm more than halfway through and I'm not sure what the point is. I'm so bored I probably won't find out. The collectables don't make it worth a CE price that's for sure. So, wait for SE version. Photos of Damian are everywhere so no challenge and there are only ten books few other morphs. Not worth it. I love the challenge of finding the collectables. There is zero challenge here.
Graphics are good. Voice overs are really good. But the story is lacking as in there really isn't one. I can deal with all the silly cliches and lack of CE's if it has a good story but this is pretty lame in my opinion. It DRAGS on...I finally got fed up when the cliche key broke......right after having to find a coin to unscrew something.
Why am I using the lighter to cut a rope when I have a knife? Lots of things like that don't make sense in this game.
Puzzles... I don't like game where it's all symbols. I think it lacks imagination on the creator's part and I skip them. There's a lot.
I can't give away the plot because it's not super clear. No spoiler alerts here. I want to like this game. I don't like writing a bad reviews. I want to love it. But I'm kicking myself for using my points to pay for this game and don't want others to do the same. I'm sure maybe others will feel differently but in my opinion it's not good enough to be a CE. Wait for it to go on sale. You aren't missing much.
