This game deserves more attention! While it wasn't quite as creepy, dark and macabre as I like 'em, it was pretty darn good! Haven't had this much fun playing a HOG in a long time. The storyline was very good and the bonus game ending was satisfying and didn't feel like a sloppy second thought. Instead it tied it all together nicely. Fresh, novel approach to many of the games. The ambient music was spot on and truly enhanced the experience. Great job, devs.
More like this, please! The creepier, the better! The hidden object mini-games actually had some challenge to them. I thought they were very well done. My only complaint is that toward the end of the game especially, there was a lot of running around to do. It can get a little tedious. That being said, the game was a lot of fun and had an interesting story to tell. Love, love, loved the eerie, grim ambiance of the game. I didn't see one wizard or princess! Yay!
The creepier, the better. Other reviewers have done a banner job on the gameplay so I won't go there. What I will add, is that this game had good creep value. Not out of the ballpark, but good nonetheless. It also offered a lot of rooms to explore, another favorite characteristic of mine.
Dang, this game scared me and I'm no kid! I appreciate the attention to story telling. The character development draws one deeper into the game and makes for a real page turner. Excellent ending leaves one wanting more. Sometimes the games were more frustrating than challenging but it's the storyline and creep factor that save the day. I look forward to the sequel and hope the designers tidy up a few of the glitches in the meantime, i.e. sound/music drops out completely at times. Nevertheless, tell me a good story and give me goose bumps and I can overlooks the small stuff!
I think this game had a nice pace to it. I was able to move through it without getting hung up on some annoying detail. I also appreciate not running back and forth excessively. It's not a particularly difficult game but it was a thoroughly fun game with a new twist on the hidden object thing. The storyline kept me going as well. It was well worth my time and money.
I loved Dreamland and this looked to be next in the franchise. I was initially disappointed--the game was too easy and seemed geared toward children. Then, as I moved along, its uniqueness and imagination won me over. I found myself thoroughly enjoying the ride and the crazy journey it took me on. I found the gameplay rather easy but fun. I look forward to the next of its kind. My only advice would be to keep it directed toward a mature player and the creep factor up!
