Maybe gamers are tired of trying to find morphing objects and prefer a relaxed hidden object. Although the story has been told before involving a dark entity, game is without stress. Don't need a map. Objects are found and placed easily. Enough hand holding. Complaints always lead to far too easy gaming in the future.
Thanks to the developers for superior artwork and computer graphics. Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

Very different from earlier Secrets of the Dark, however, was fun and entertaining all the same. Prefer the more dark and somber such as Eclipse Mountain.
Objects were picked up easily and quickly used. Interactive map was a great help especially with inter-dimensional travel. Hidden object scenes at first were tedious for this gamer in using one object to interact with another. Thankfully, the scenes were not as integrated as game progressed.
A great relaxing game for veterans and would recommend more for beginner and casual gamers.

Painfully completed game's numerous hidden object scenes and less than challenging puzzles. Only redemptive note was to be able to switch to a match game and keep going.
How is it that The Charleston Curse could stray so far from it's quality and success to develop into much poorer Witches' Legacy sequels? The difference to me was obvious--that they are geared toward a younger, amateur or lazy gamer.
There was no character development, no expanding story line to speak of, no scene development and items were a mish mosh of this and that which made no sense. Here's an eye and there's an eye and, oh, they go where?
The so-called cute little green imp with no eyes was terrifying to me and spoke volumes of de-sensitizing in all in's frightening glory.
The possibilities are endless in creating games that are fun, entertaining, challenging, mysterious and even scary. This wasn't one of them.
Made the purchase with a BFG credit--thank goodness-based on their past gaming success reputation. Won't be purchasing any more Witches' Legacy games unless their development has changed drastically.
If parents don't mind witches, magic, spells, human skulls scattered about, would say this game is definitely for a younger audience. Enjoy! -Mama Mia-
I don't recommend this game.

Brrr. Since it's 12 degrees outside, figured I'd play a game to match.
Interesting and creative, the cut scenes, artwork and computer graphics are excellent. Background music rather mundane and turned down volume--not a bother. Here for the game!
The terrifying Froids have arrived and they brought a lot of trouble as well as the insane cold. Numerous hidden objects and challenging puzzles appropriately blended within the game's storyline. Objects are picked up and used fairly quickly so gamers are not holding onto dozens of items and then wandering around trying to remember where they fit.
Don't forget to get a good look around the aquarium as it's outstanding as well as the toy shop!
Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

Finished game plus bonus content equals one happy BFG Gamer. Kicking around trying to find a good game in BFG vast collection. Hmm, think I'll try "The Emerald Maiden Symphony of Dreams". Once started, could not stop! Yay!
Fascinated from the onset of walking into The Dream Corporation's eerie underworld facility. Fun, imaginative, creative and literally spell binding story line blending together an ancient artifact with advanced technology.
Surreal, yet, Gogii managed to pull off an unbelievable far-fetched almost science fiction into a magical and fun gaming environment. We're not in Kansas any more Toto!
Didn't manage to capture all the collectibles in main story and bonus content although I tried! Will definitely go back and replay although that's very rare for me unless the game is worth the replay and this game certainly is in my humble opinion.
Enjoyed the story, music, characters, artwork--all pure Gogii genius--even the 82 sketches in the bonus content were interesting not to mention "Atom"--the very 1st game character I didn't mind having along for the ride.
Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

I wasn't impressed by the demo, purchased SE with a credit and forgot about it. Usually, I am disappointed as a game that starts out ho-hum plays out into utter boredom. Well, smack my face and wake up gamers!
Game turned out to be very good despite the beginning but I hung in there and went along for what turned out to be an entertaining ride into Lost Lands!
Woo hoo! Dark Overlord versus fierce and protective Mom--even though pre-occupied Mom was on the cell phone and not paying any attention to her precious son who got whiskey away in a flash!
Meet some very creative and interesting characters! Pure fun and entertainment. Of course, now I wish I had purchased CE. Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's 1927 novel, "Charles Dexter Ward". Game has depth with expanding story line and an aura of fright.
Purchased game 2 years ago and just played. Was like finding a lost and forgotten precious item.
Eh, no collectibles or morphing, I would rather play a great game any day of the week! Extras more than made up with Behind the Scenes, Concept Art, Bonus Chapter, Strategy Guide and Original E-Book free download!
Will be delving more into my BFG game library to see if I have any other games by these great Developers--Cerasus Media. Ten star excellence! Enjoy! -Mama Mia-
I recommend this game!

Purchased CE based on prior games. Definitely agree with reviewers that game was boring. Stopped playing and I will definitely play demos to any future games prior to making purchase.
Game play was disjointed and all over the place. I like the hand drawn scenes, however, more for amateur or new or younger gamers!
Highly recommend the previous Fear for Sale games.

If it's not broke, don't fix it. Earlier Dark Dimensions were eerie and haunting and excellent. Somber Song has missed the mark of the DD earlier greats i.e. City of Ash, Wax Beauty, City of Fog. I don't know why or how it happens that Developers often produce sequels that have lost their zing and zest such as Somber Song.
Disjointed story line has gamers all over the place here, there and every where. Not an HO fan to begin with. All the hidden objects were tedious--no challenge and no fun.
Finished game just to be done with it rather late as you can see by my review date. Thankfully, didn't purchase CE which would have prolonged my frustration.
On the positive, artwork was masterfully rendered in true genius form.

Deadly Cold is far from the previous Mystery of the Ancients series wherein a true mystery unfolded with character development.
Lots of bright colors and scary ice monsters breathing down my neck brought a real chill and caused me to turn up the thermostat. Puzzles although mediocre for veteran gamers, they are perfect for amateur gamers.
For the younger audiences, I must admit as the story line ricocheted every which way and played out much like a cartoon. So, am recommending this game for the younger set! Enjoy! -Mama Mia-
