What a great game. It's creepy, funny, scary, and heart-warming all at the same time. A great story. Absolutely loved it. This is not a hidden object game, more like an adventure game, and there are no hints or help so you have to figure things out for yourself. You can definitely replay this game multiple times to find all of the different endings. The gameplay is also different depending on the choices you make each time. Glad to see Big Fish can give us something different every now and then. Hope to see more games like this one.
So glad to see something other than the million cookie cutter hidden object games that are released every day. The visuals are stunning, the gameplay is easy to pickup, and the story is so unique. BigFish- let's get more games like this one!
I recommend this game!

I only played the demo. It's an ok game. The puzzles aren't that difficult and are mostly ones I've seen a hundred times before. The storyline isn't very interesting and the game is repetitive. Go to an area and solve a puzzle, next area and solve a puzzle, next area and solve a puzzle, and so on. It's really disappointing because I was excited to see a game that wasn't a HOG. I'm sorry but I'm so sick of HOS. Too bad this was a flop. Definitely play the demo before deciding to purchase.

This is a pretty fun game and a lot more challenging than most other games of this type. I consider myself an expert at strategy and tm games, yet I found myself having to replay several levels multiple times in order to get the gold star. My biggest complaint is that the dialogue was clearly written by non-native English speakers. As an English teacher, the numerous mistakes were very annoying. They definitely need a native English speaker to edit for them. Overall, this was a decent game worth the sale price I paid for it, but if a sequel came out I wouldn't get it.
I recommend this game!

I always love a game that is free of HOS. There were lots of puzzles and the game was a decent length. There are bonus levels in the CE after you complete the game. At times it could be tedious because it was puzzle after puzzle, and there was not much exploring. It was way too easy to find items and figure out which items to use in locations. There wasn't much back and forth, but there were quite a few locations. The story wasn't the best, but there wasn't too much dialogue. You could also click through it if you don't want to listen/read it. Not the best game I've ever played, but still pretty good.

I really liked this game for the most part. There were no hidden objects whatsoever, which was great for me because I usually find HOGs very boring. Some puzzles were extremely easy, but that's ok too. It was a nice balance of easy and challenging. What I didn't like was near the end of the game there was entirely too much back and forth. Very annoying. It had a decent story (though the story could have been expanded on at points), and it was a bit short, but maybe that's because I got the SE. But overall, I really enjoyed the game.

This game is ok, but to me it's not as good as the first one. I don't really like the introduction of farming and gathering wood by cutting down trees. I'm not a big fan of "farm games" and it feels like Royal Envoy 2 has steered in that direction. It's not really about the buildings anymore. Also, I miss the old characters like the tax collectors, and I miss the funny voices of the characters. There are a lot of elements of the game that have changed or have been added. Overall, I don't regret buying the game, but I won't be replaying it a hundred time like the first one. I was really excited about this game, but it was a huge letdown for me.

This game is so much fun. It's also nice to play something that isn't a hidden object game. The story is really cute. Basically, you play Elena, a girl living in Little Italy, You have to complete tasks and keep your life in balance in order to progress. I would say it's kind of similar to Life Quest, if you've ever played that. It's a pretty long game, too. The only downside for me is that you can't save whenever you want; the game only saves after you complete a chapter. But the chapters aren't that long so, it wasn't that big a deal. I've replayed this game maybe 5 times I love it so much!
I recommend this game!

First off, the speed that the camera looks around is way too fast, which makes it difficult to examine items and move. And there are no options/settings to change it. Second, I spent the entire trial game wandering around three rooms not knowing what to do. I finally had to look at the walkthrough, but that didn't help at all, because for some reason, anytime I tried to go anywhere my character would say, "I'm too tired to explore right now" or "I don't want to go in that room" or some other nonsense. The trial was over and I hadn't done anything. I followed the walkthrough exactly but my character kept telling me he couldn't do anything. I don't know what the problem was, but this was the worst game I've ever played on bigfish.
Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story-if you escape.

I think the worst thing about this game was the storyline. Very disgusting and strange. Not what I expected at all from mcf. I was extremely disappointed. I've been a mcf fan from the beginning and I absolutely loved 13th skull. For escape from ravenhearst, the gameplay was repetitive and boring, particularly the hos. The beginning of the game is ok and I overlooked the negative reviews and got it anyway, thinking it couldn't be that bad. It was. Particularly the last 3/4 of the game. If you really want the game, get it on sale or get the se with a punch card coupon.
