It's a lovely game and such a great change from some of the dark, morbid ones we've been subjected to lately. The scenery was pleasant, the people easy to like - or not - as the case required.
The story was straight forward and the roses and items to be found kept things moving forward quickly.
There were no dark corners or dirty bathrooms, no grim bedrooms or nasty ugly dolls, it was an uplifting change.

I didn't find any morphing objects, only a 'tools of the trade' sign that one had to find in every scene.
I can't find anything bad about it, it was just rather boring.
The hidden objects were not very interesting and neither was the theme - a card game set up and a murder committed, who dun it?
It passes the time.

I've always enjoyed the Hidden Expedition games, but this one drags, it's not up to their usual standard and I find myself thinking 'oh come on, just get it finished'.
Now that's sad for what should be as good as all the previous Hidden Expedition games.
Neither did I like we found ourselves in a laboratory where they were obviously studying tortoises. It felt threatening. I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to cringe at laboratories that deal with animals.
The game was okay, but no, not their best effort.

This is one of those games you can sink into without fearing you are going to fail.
The characters are excellent, despite the one and only baddie. The scenes are attractive, and the story is well told.
The challenges along the way are what I'd call pleasantly challenging, not leaving you feeling you are an idiot. Instead, they leave you feeling you aren't too bad at the game after all.
I'm not sure I could have got through it without using hints along the way - which is one of the challenges - but I imagine if I'd had the patience I could have
Worth buying and it is enjoyable.

The game was good and held together well, but it ended with a whimper, not a bang!
Suddenly the Bonus game was over. It seemed to have barely started, and I wasn't expecting it to finish so soon.
All was well at the end of course, and we can guess at the happy ending, but where there should have been a confrontation and a result, there was nothing. Dad just walked away looking a little bemused.
The characters were nice, the young woman pleasant and her father a bit absent minded, but, all in all, it was fun, just a bit strange.

I hung in with this game until about three quarter the way through then decided it was too dark, too ugly, too unpleasant and too totally drear to continue
I have all the Ravenhurst games and have played them all to the end, but this one needs to be ditched, it's gross.
A scream in the night... a brutal crime... a mysterious figure with eyes red as blood. Can you get to the heart of this shocking murder?

I fail to see why game players have to be exposed to such awful games. Yes we were warned it was brutal and ugly, but it was also utterly boring, relying completely on the shock factor.
I have tried to hang in with it, after all I paid for it and I'm not put off by gore, but this isn't just gore, it goes way beyond the pale.
I fail to see why it is okay to produce such unpleasant rubbish.
I have to admit I am way beyond this particular detective, he is so uninteresting and palid.

It became far too taken up with the HOGs that were all pictured items to be found. No lists of items, no real fun and to top it off a lot of time the picture of what you were to find did not look anything like what you were looking for. e.g. a blue stone was actually a green stone.
Some of the games would not respond properly and you were forced to skip them when you really wanted to play them.
Overall the game was frustrating and not really worth the effort.

If I ever see the word "THINK" again it will be too soon.
If I want a bit of help of any sort I do not need to be told to THINK or if I am still thinking I don't need "THINK THINK THINK" or even "what could possibly be needed here?" which comes across as extremely sarcastic.
I loved the game but avoiding those words at the top of the screen in every scene was infuriating. It's not as if you can turn them off
I don't mind "Try again" or "good effort" but not THINK THINK THINK!
Please EIPIX don't do this again. It's the first time I have ever given less than 5 stars for your games.

does a game have to be spoiled by just one tiny factor? I can't take the staples out of the roof in the train set game in the orphanage. It just won't work :(
I took note of other players saying that the curser is 'sticky' and have been extra careful to play with a very light finger on it, but no, I've fallen by the wayside by a stupid staple :(
Maybe other will have better luck. I will keep trying, but not right now.
Midnight Mysteries is by far my favourite series of games, and I will give them another chance and then another :)
