You inherit a manor, obviously there are serious problems before you can settle in... ! Up to you to solve them. This looks like a good SE, well worth demoing and spending a punch card credit on.

Played 30 minutes, casual
- 3 modes, casual, advanced, hardcore
- Integrated SG which only sows 2 chapters in the sample
- Voice overs
- Notebook
- Interactive map, doesn't show areas of interest, you can only jump with it
- By pressing on the skull above your inventory you can lock it
- You get achievements, i.e. H0 without hint, no skip in mini games, etc
- Throughout the game you must find 35 morphing objects, not easy to spot not indicated on the map
- Hint is useful outside H0, shows the way, refills quickly casual
- Skip button
- H0, very clear, you interact
- Good mini games
- Excellent, clear graphics
Your brother dies after discovering a strange artifact. You're now the last of the keepers and must protect this artifact otherwise evil sisters will plunge the world into darkness. Help the girl !! This looks like a good game, don't know why but it didn't "grab" me straight away. Still, most probably a buy especially with the credits bought in the sale ;)
I recommend this game!

Played 25 minutes, "Trilling" ....
- 2 modes, thrilling and nightmare
- Notebook
- No map
- You must combine some items of your inventory
- H0 you interact, very clear
- Usual mini games
- Hint refills quickly (thrilling mode), useful outside H0
- Skip button takes a while to fill
- Beautiful graphics
Just married you have a car crash because a strange girl appears on the back seat. You brand new husband has disappeared, you look for him. Feared the worst when I saw the first sugary cut scene but the game does improve as it goes on. Well worth a punch card credit.
I recommend this game!

Played 35 minutes, casual
- Elephant Games
- Integrated SG which shows 8 chapters + bonus play
- Bonus contents are wallpapers, concept art, music, screensaver
- 3 modes, casual, advanced, hardcore
- No notebook
- Interactive map, areas of interest are in color
- At the beginning of the game, you get a crow, Hamlet, that will help you through the game and tell you the story of the city as the game goes on
- Throughout the game you'll have to find 22 goblins, they're not easy to spot
- You get achievements, regular ones, i.e H0 with no hint, no skip in mini games, etc
- Live characters
- Voice overs
- H0, you interact, I found them very dark but couldn't adjust the light. Some objects combine themselves in the inventory, you don't have to do it.
- Hint button useful outside H0, tells you what you have to do
- Usual mini games, nothing new up to what I played
Your plane crashes in a strange town, people there are living skeletons, a strange lady in white having stolen their souls. Up to you to solve the problem. I'm not too sure about this game, liked it but it didn't make me perform a little happy dance. Had fun in clicking on the ghosts, they scream in such a funny way, is that enough to buy a game ?
I recommend this game!
Experience a story about love so strong, it can overcome the most powerful evil! Explore visually stunning mystical dimensions and rescue your fiance!

Played 30 minutes, casual
- Integrated SG which shows 6 chapters + bonus play. Only 2 chapters available during the demo time
- 2 modes, casual, expert
- Notebook
- Shortly after starting the game you get an interactive map which shows areas of interest
- Voice overs
- Good music, a bit loud but fits well the game
- Throughout the game you have to find 34 morphing objects
- Hint refills in 30 seconds, casual mode
- Skip button
- H0, you interact, some objects are really small
- Mini games fairly easy up to what I played
- Beautiful graphics
- Direction arrows are not always easy, especially when you try to exit a scene and it gets near your inventory
While waiting for you, your fiance opens a magic book, a succubus appears and kidnap him, up to you to rescue him. This looks like a very good game, the evil part might scare some people, still the succubus is soooo sexy :P ;)
A straight buy for me.

Played 30 minutes, casual
- 2 modes, casual, expert
- Shortly after starting the game you get a notebook
- Same for an interactive map
- Voice over
- Loud spooky music
- Hint refills in 30 seconds casual, 1 minute expert mode, useful outside H0
- H0, you interact a lot, some objects are not too easy to spot, i.e brown on brown background
- Sparkles in casual mode, they do appear in H0 which is a shame
- Skip button
- Interesting mini games
- Good graphics
You're going to an Halloween party and it gets really scary... Strange that this game appears at this time of the year, still it looks like a good SE, well worth spending a punch card credit on.
I recommend this game!

- Shortly after playing you get an interactive mystical compass, replace a map, only shows you locations

- Hint is useful outside H0, refills quickly casual
- Music a bit loud

Nasty Phoenix Queen wants to destroy Enchantia. My average time for a demo is 20 minutes to get a fair idea of a game. Played 40 for this one as I wanted to give it a fair go, never entered the game... Quite a disappointment and a no buy for me.

Played 45 minutes, casual
- 3 modes, casual, advanced, hardcore
- Interactive map that you get shortly after starting the game

- You will get too a cute little gargoyle, Gladriel, that will help you
- Throughout the game you can get 30 achievements, H0 with no hint, no skip, sharp eye, etc....

- You'll have to find -in various locations- pieces to built an item
- H0, you interact
- Excellent, inventive mini games, like in the first one
- Superb graphics
- Good music (was quite relieved it wasn't accordion !!!)
