I was shocked when I played the beta of this game that no more the old Shiver game look and feel which I absolutely love but this new style grows on me. I'm glad that the voice of the doctor in Shiver: Moonlit Grove is back. I love his voice.
I found some of the mini games are unusual and requires a little bit of brain juice and the HO scene varies which keeps me interested. I rarely play through an entire game in one day but I played this game through within one day. This game just kept me interested and kept me wanting to find out what's next.
Sorry to find out I'm at the end of the game. I enjoyed the Bonus Chapter as well. The main game is a very decent length and I think it's well worth the CE price. It's true that I don't care much for decorating the house and the fish bowl but how can you not love that cute looking fish?
Some reviewer was wondering why some scene is still active after they believe they have already picked up an object. It's because there's either pearl collectibles or fish bowl decorations that still need to be picked up. Just requires to look a little closely.
A round of applause for the developers. This is absolutely a fun, no hand holding and challenging game.
The puzzles are quite unique (requires you to put on your thinking cap) and the storyline keeps me wanting to find out more what's next.
After finishing this game I actually proceeded to purchase almost all of the games developed by Vast Studios. Can't wait to play their other adventure games.
You’re on a train in the middle of nowhere, and a band of dangerous thieves demand you tell them where to find the Hope Diamond’s shards. As the newest Hidden Expedition recruit, you’ve got to find the shards before they do…

No challenges at all. Puzzles are super easy. Graphics in some scenes are just so so. Game paused a little while switching scenes. This game plays just like the Final Cut. Arrrggghhhh....
I know some folks like collectibles but I just hate the pop-ups. I have to either wait for it to disappear or click on the screen b4 I can move on. What a disruption to the flow of the game.
I literally lost my interest in this game rather quickly but since I already paid for it I just stuck to the end but can't wait for it to finish. Most likely won't even bother with the Bonus Chapter.
Oh how I miss a good challenge from Big Fish Studio games like the Drawn series. Please bring those challenges back Big Fish.
