The graphics are outstanding. The voice-overs are excellent. The storyline is very well done. Yes, we've seen vampire games before, but this one is done top notch! I felt like I was watching a movie. It has a very different feel. As you start to poke around a room, it will tell you 'best to move on, nothing here right now.' It is very direct and fun. I can't wait to go play more! A+.
I recommend this game!

I am giving this game high marks on graphics. If you like magic cottages in the woods, making spells to rid creatures and people of curses, then this is your game. The background music is just right; not annoying. I will say that it is a bit touchy; you have to directly hit on the item if you want it to work. But I truly enjoyed it. Not difficult, but it does make you think.

I have been playing Big Fish Games for 8 years, and I have to say this is one of the top 5 longest playing games. Music was very soothing and beautiful, graphics were great, but sometimes the items to be found were small and a bit hidden; good challenge. Voice overs were good. I give this game an A+. I definitely recommend this game.

5 stars across the board. A little science fiction, a little paranormal; great balance. Love the HOs; you don't just find items, you also implement items into the scene. Love it. This is a must! Music is creepy - not overbearing. I kept feeling like someone was watching me - never had that happen in a game before. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

I am a big fan of long playing games, and this was one of them. The storyline was a bit different and the way in which it played out was great. Any game can be 'creepy', but when something is actually chasing you and a little sign pops up on your screen that says "you must hurry!" - you have to click on it to hurry along; interactive to the next level. Loved it. I was REALLY creeped out. Lots of detailed tasks which pulled me into the game more. The ONLY THING I didn't like was the music. The softer melody was good, but when then it crescendoed into a booming sound that was irritating; I had to turn down the sound until that part passed. Other than that - great game.
I recommend this game!

I have been a BFG member since 2004 and I must say, besides Dire Grove, this is the best game. Although it is drawn, it looks so real. Very few games can boast that. I love the airy music and beautiful scenery; yes, I said scenery even though it's artwork. The village, as you drive away in the beginning, looks like a place in Switzerland - so life like. I am enjoying this game so much that I had to stop mid play to write a review. WOW! The premise for the game, pretty much the same as all the others, but there's a different 'feel' to it. This is a definite buy!
I recommend this game!

Storyline was nothing too different, but very well done. Sound was excellent. The baseline music - very catchy, but not annoying. Detailed tasks; very cool. The cutscenes are short and to the point. The ending was awesome! Some games just end - abruptly - but this game goes out with a bang! Movie quality. Really enjoyed this game.
