What a great game. What an inventive spirit! What great graphics!!! What great persons or trolls or - just the whole personal of this game is unique and so nicely drawn. The minigames are so organically filled into the game that they don't even feel as something interrupting the gameplay, they foster it. Very nice minigames, not the usual stuff. Very interesting story, good music. The hint- and skipbutton can be customized. Very few games stay in your mind for a longer time. This one will!!! Outstanding and gorgeous gameplaypleasure!!! Thank you so much, developers!!!
I recommend this game!

I know there is a CE from this game as well, so i am not going to retell the storyline. It is a kind of detective novel, which keeps you busy as you are trying to find out the truth about the death of a yound woman. Great graphics, music suits the case (as it has to do with music and dance), hintbutton and skip can be customized, which i really like. What i don't like at all is when you point at something to get to know more about what to do here the only answer is "what could be needed here" or - alternatively - "think, think, think" - this diminishes the pleasure of playing so much and gets such annoying after a while that i almost wanted to uninstall the game again. These texts are definitively not helpful, dear developers, if you want us to play your game!!!

This game really is exceptional! It starts with wonderful 3-D-films, which set the tone for the whole game. It is just gorgeous!!! After the last Puppet-Show-game i thought this serie's was dead, but no! It starts a whole new living with great graphics, wonderful puppets, interesting twists. I am very impressed by the effort ERS took to give us such breathtaking pleasure in the gameplay. Thank you, developers!!!

Whereas there are a lot of games promising much in the beginning and then getting only worse, this game takes it the other way round.. when it starts one thinks "oh no, not again such a story" - and one feels as if one has played it already, but when it unfolds, it is a very pretty, entertaining and thoughtful made game. I do love the graphics very much, the music is great, i love the sound when you found an item in the HO-scene, i do like the cowboy-like person, who accompanies the hero, i love the story, which is not as usual as one might guess from experience with games like that.. and i do like the cute little ideas of mushrooms serving as a paint-plate etc. - it is really a very entertaining and good game - indeed:-)
I recommend this game!

When I bought this game i thought, it would be about wise magicians and hobbits etc. - as the graphics are so promising and the begin of the story is coloured so nicely and established in a kind of fairy land... but, when i went on playing it really got on my nerves that you have way too much inventory you carry around and that there is so little continuity in the game play that you have so run back and forth in order to use one of your inventory... this game has in a technical sense not been thought about enough, and this minders the game-pleasure tremendously... fortunately though the hintbutton and the map are very helpful and transporte you quickly, but nontheless... it is not a joy to play... it is sad to say this as i thought it would be so much fun...
I don't recommend this game.

I did take the trial, and as the other reviewers already told about the storyline and everything in detail, i just add, what i found remarkable. It is a nice feature that you can customize your game - how long the hintbutton takes to renew and all... i did very much like the 3-D-realistic videosequence at the beginning... what i did not like at all was, that the game slows down tremendously through this "hand-feature" and my cursor moved as if it was drunken in the scene - very very slow. This was really strange as there is nothing wrong with my computer and it works perfectly well in other games. But as soon as this hand-feature comes up, your cursor goes down in speed... i felt as if i was swimming through a scene as if in a dream rather than just detecting what was there to be done... this made this game for me a no go, as sorry as i am for this, because i liked the serie's and have every installment. Really strange, sorry.
I don't recommend this game.

I do love the Dark Tales Serie's... which had its best installment with the premature burial... but nevertheless, i buy every installment, just because i love the serie's so much. In this case here, i did not get the story at all... additional it looked as if the story was in itself nog long enough - that is - it seems - why the - we have to find the right grave so that the ghost can be buried under his own name-story-twist came up... for me there was no line in this, it was like wandering trough a labyrinth without knowing why - only story concerned! And perhaps because of this storyproblem, i also had the feeling that this game was extremely short.. you just got into gaming and then it's already over... astonishingly... but as said, i love the serie's and i love the graphics and the detective and all the decor with it... it is enjoyable to play, for sure.
I recommend this game!

I liked this serie's from the beginning, and i think, it's getting better with every installment. Although the story isn't new, the developers always find a new twist and keep the story very entertaining. I am almost at the end of the game and still have the feeling that i want to go on! Great job done, dear developers!!!

- based on the one hour trial -
Mariaglorum is a developer, who really works himself into my heart!!! I do love every game of them, not only because of the great graphics, but also because the great effort they put into the stories of their games and their neatness in making the gameplay smooth. I do know what i have to do and i know where to go, all comes so naturally, i just love when a game is able to achieve this, because it means the developer really put their whole heart into the work.
When the story starts we are immediately in the action and worse things take place... blizzard, ice-tower rises up, ice-army is chasing your friend and her husband, all is in complete disorder... it is your job to follow your friends and help them... hint recharges within short time, skip also, but i did not have to use it up to now.. minigames are very entertaining i find and for all the action is really interesting and you don't do jobs because it is a game, but because it helps the story... all said, this is a must-buy!!! I feel so thankful when developers take so much effort - a smooth gameplay is so difficult to achieve and such a heartfelt pleasure, if one can play such a game.
I recommend this game!

Maybe that there are games that intuitively suit you and some don't, nevertheless how interesting they are? I could not solve - i guess - any of the minigames in this game... mostly i was looking astonishedly at the solution when i used the skipbutton - perhaps it was just me or it wasn't explained well or it wasn't painted well (with the candle-game)... i am very astonished most of the time when i play this game.. it has turnarounds, which i didn't suspect (you always come into a new surrounding as you try to get hold of the villain)... it has tasks to be done which i would never do with this special tool... a bellow to clean a painting? Nevertheless the story is interesting and keeps you going as you want to know when this mirror in the mirror in the mirror-like wandering through different books ends and whether you will be able to catch the villain and solve the mystery. It is an interesting game, but for me it has real strange ways to follow and strange things to do:-)...
I recommend this game!
