Demoed 20 minutes, normal mode
- 3 modes, easy, normal, hard
- Voice overs
- Integrated SG on the bottom right of your screen, you can access it too from your notebook
- Notebook on the bottom left of your screen + tasks button but they appear in your notebook
- Click penalty in H0, I hate that :whistle:
- No map
- Hint useful outside H0, shows you the way, didn't use it so I don't know how long it takes to refill
- Skip button
- H0, you interact, they are clear
- Mini games not over difficult up to what I played
- Very good graphics
- Music a bit loud
Good story based on H P Lovecraft novel. A spirit is using human souls to become immortal. I think I've already seen this theme in quite a few games, still the game looks good and it's a buy for me.
I recommend this game!

You go for a ski trip in the Alps, it soon turns out to be a nightmare. This looks like a good, not over difficult game, I should definitely wait for the SE but did I ever resist a CE ?
I recommend this game!

Played 20 minutes of the demo.
- Only one mode to play
- Map, you jump from one search location to another
- You start with 3 hints, if you run out of them you've got to shoot bandits to get new ones
- You have to collect fleurs de lys in order to open unlimited mode
- You have to find items in different locations, for some of them you will need an item found in another location, which means you often jump from one to another.
- Objects are cleverly hidden (search locations sometimes pretty dark) and not easy to spot
- You get bonus points for no miss clicks (at least 3 items in a row)
- You get different trophies for achievements throughout the game
- Very good graphics.
You wake up in a tavern after being attacked in a street, a cross has been branded on your left arm. I already own the first two Golden Trails, they are very pleasant games, nice, different HOG which all HOG lovers will really enjoy. A buy for me
I recommend this game!

A puppet master is stealing the souls of your children. Will you be able to solve the case ? Shame this game appears after Nutcracker, it looks like a good game and I've liked it enough to buy.
I recommend this game!
A classic Christmas tale tail, with a whole new twist! Help the Nutcracker rescue the princess from the evil Rat King!

Had already played the beta, casual
- Pachyderm games, not sure I can mention the devs ;)
- 3 modes, casual, advanced, hardcore
- Integrated SG which shows 8 chapters plus the bonus play
- You get achievements, finishing a H0G using no hints, not using skipping button, etc
- Note book
- Map, you can jump from one place to another
- MUSIC : Tchaikovski original Nutcracker, beautiful
- Nutcracker, a cat and a living candle help you in your quest
- H0, clear, you interact
- Good mini games, there's a reset button
- Hint refill quickly (casual)
- GORGEOUS, amazingly beautiful graphics
- Skip button too (casual)
A wonderful game, Prince has been turned into a wooden nutcracker and his princess has been kidnapped by nasty rats. This game is beautiful, a straight buy, a keeper, thanks to the devs this is a real treat (crush) (crush) (crush)
I recommend this game!

Played 40 minutes, casual
- 2 modes, casual, expert, you can change while playing
- Integrated SG which turns pages as you progress in the game. Doesn't show how many chapters there are
- Voice overs
- Notebook, includes a map which only shows where you are, you can't "jump" with it
- Box where you collect clues
- No real H0, you go through quite imaginative quests in order to find the items you need. No regular list of items to find. A bit trickier than regular H0 and a nice change.
- The items you can use straight away have a blue glow in your inventory
- Up to what I played mini games were pretty easy
- Good graphics
Your friend has disappeared, town's inhabitants seems rather hostile and of course there are hooded men and you will most probably meet THE BEAST !!!
A buy for me.

I usually need 20 minutes of a demo to get a fair idea of a game, I played 45 minutes of this one (casual) and still find it extremely difficult to describe it and sum it up....
- 2 modes, casual, expert
- Note book
- Map, you can jump from one place to the other, locations are added as you progress in the game
- Integrated SG which shows you very little, you're definitely not held by the hand
- Voice overs
- Living actors (not my cup of tea)
- A lot of cut scenes
- H0 are entirely different from our regular ones, objects can be located in two different scenes, you sometimes need one to carry on finding others. Objects are sometimes tiny.
- In some you have to put back objects you've found
- Mini games are quite...puzzling !, you get moving pieces with living/moving characters that you've got to assemble. Not too easy as they float around, a lot of dragging and pulling.
- Music is real good
- Excellent graphics
After a prisoner finds a strange item he is confronted with paranormal phenomenons and so are you trying to solve the case. A buy for me as I just can't miss one MCF but definitely not keen on too many actors and cut scenes.
I recommend this game!
Olivia has been kidnapped by the mysterious Lonely Hearts Killer who murders those suffering from a shattered love. Save her!

Played 20 minutes, casual
- 3 modes, casual /sparkles and map), normal (map less useful), expert (no map)
- Integrated SG which only shows one chapter in the sample
- Very good British voice overs
- Note book
- Map, you can't jump from one place to another (or I didn't find out how to do it )
- Very long cut scenes and dialogues
- Hint very useful outside H0, in casual it seems to remain always full
- H0, you interact, some objects are pretty small
- The mini game I came across what a nice change
- Skip button
- Gorgeous graphics
- Characters move in the game, you don't direct them but feel just like in a large file game.
Your daughter is missing, after breaking up with her fiance, you fear the worst as a mad Lonely Hearts Killer is lurking around. Your hunt start with the help of a detective. This game looks absolutely great, fabulous atmosphere, fell in love with it as soon as I started playing. An instant buy !!!!!!!
I recommend this game!
