played full game, including bonus, without sound on a pc
this was a nice game with plenty of puzzles and hidden object scenes. enjoyed playing it. here are the things that prevented me rating it higher:
-- no map; in my opinion, a map is critical in these types of games
-- game, including bonus, seemed awfully short
-- dark hidden object scenes; how can you find the hidden object if the scene is too dark; please lighten them up
with the above caveats, i recommend this game
I recommend this game!
After your father dies, your sister Violet requests your help at the Family Castle. Get to the bottom of a dark mystery!

played full game with sound off and in casual mode on a pc.
straight forward game with minimal chasing. lots of hidden object games and the puzzles are easy to figure out.
the negatives are poor visuals on the hidden object games and for some puzzles, while easy to solve, it is tedious getting to the solution. for example, it was so difficult to move the joints in one puzzle, i finally gave up and skipped it.
even with the negatives, this is a fun game and i recommend it.
I recommend this game!

played entire game as well as bonus in casual mode with sound off.
I both enjoyed and was frustrated by this game. enjoyed because it was clever and interesting. frustrated by:
-- no interactive map
-- too much chasing
-- too long to load different scenes
-- no interactive map
-- too much chasing
-- too long to load different scenes
I think the lack of an interactive map keeps me from giving a whole hearted recommendation.
would recommend with reservations -- given the potential for frustration.

Completed full game and bonus.
Played in casual mode with sound off.

I enjoyed this game --was fairly easy to follow; only had to consult the strategy guide a couple of times. The interactive map was most helpful. Sometimes finding the hidden objects was challenging; had to use the hint button more often than I liked. Nice mixture of hard and not so hard puzzles.
The chasing did get tiresome toward the end of the game.
I recommend this game!

Enjoyed this game; HO's and puzzles were not too difficult. I enjoy that as I play for relaxation and fun -- not to be frustrated by puzzles too hard and HO's you cannot see.
A nice beginner game.
I recommend this game!
Search for clues, solve puzzles, and unlock new areas as you visit spooky locations, master mini-games and locate Hidden Objects!

Enjoyed this little game. It does not have all the bells and whistles of other games, but does have a map. There is some chasing, but mostly pretty straight.
Lots of HO scenes; the puzzles are clever.
This is a nice game for your free coupon.
I recommend this game!

This was a most enjoyable game. Graphics were beautiful and clear, especially the HOP's. The mini-games were fun and not overly complicated.
I normally do not give out five stars for anything unless it is truly remarkable. Grim Tales: The Vengeance met that criteria.
I recommend this game!

My review is based on playing the full game and with sound off.
Overall the game was interesting and fun to play.
The two areas that brought my rating down were:
HOS -- the objects were too small to see; don't mind challenge, but some of these scenes were just horrible. Had to use "hint" way too much and for multiple items in a scene; very unusual for me.
No map -- there was so much chasing from one room to another, from one end of the town to the other, you could get lost.
I recommend this game!
This was supposed to be the happiest day of your life. But instead of walking down the aisle, you're in another dimension, battling a mad inventor to save your family!

this is a nice hidden object game -- not too easy and not too difficult. did not reference the strategy guide; using the map was sufficient to know where to go.
the graphics could have been sharper. some hidden objects were hard to find because of this fuzziness.
I recommend this game!
A man has gone missing in the town of Rockshire, but the townspeople deny he was ever there. What dark secret are they hiding?

a normal hidden object game. would have liked more challenging hidden object games and less puzzles.
recommend using the map -- will give you direction on where to go next.
also recommend being diligent in getting the crystals; will not be able to play both of the extra games without all of them.
I recommend this game!
