My first comment: Long playing. Outstanding graphics. Eerie settings. Semi-difficult challenges/mini games. A good deal of putting things together to make one bigger item. I like that; different. I don't usually buy C.E.'s anymore (tight budget), but this was definitely worth it. Give it a try!
I recommend this game!

Would like to give this 4 stars, but I played half the game in the demo time alone. Story very unique, graphics great . . . fun to play....but - way too short.
I don't recommend this game.

This games was AMAZING! Seriously, I have only rated 5 stars once before - and that was for Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove. VERY long playing, well worth the money. The graphics were so detailed; the wood on a door frame looked like real wood. The music was well orchestrated; and not annoying. The premise was a bit different than other HOGs - with different types of search qualities; pair the clue to the item, find pieces of a bigger object. I cannot say enough about this game; only, BUY IT.
I recommend this game!

I have been waiting SO LONG for this sequel....but sorry to say, I don't like it. I liked the Tax Collectors. I liked feel of the original. Sorry folks, just can't recommend it.

I haven't even finished the demo yet, but I love it !! Will definitely buy the C.E. Great background music (not annoying), outstanding graphics, and different than the other games. This game definitely has a different feel to it. There are a lot of different rooms; always moving. The sound effects, for example, lightning is not the standard, canned sound. I love the fact that when you're done in an area it says AREA CLEARED. Being able to move between realms - like it. You see the room as an old dirty room, then you pass through to the 'other realm' and see it as it once was. Great graphics. I definitely recommend this game.

Just finished the demo and was very impressed. I am just about to purchase, as a standard game. Yes, even if purchased as a C.E., it would be worth the money. The main character, the little boy, is genuinely creepy. Can't wait to play! Happy Holidays!
I recommend this game!

There was no option to change the cursor to 'system' cursor. The game cursor dragged all over the screen, slowing the game down.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is so cute, sorry guys, but it's cute. The graphics are clean and child-like, the music is eerie good, but the direction is not there. One scene says "find the soup recipe" - and the hint shows a tree, but none of the inventory items fits. Very frustrating.
I don't recommend this game.
