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!!!
I recommend this game!

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!

This is exactly the kind of game i LOVE!!! It has an interesting story, it had nice soothing music, it has interesting HO-scenes and it has - what i love most in a game - these puppettheatre parts, where you have to build some figure from parts in order to get to hear a story... i just love these. I love the graphics, i love the subject of the story, a child which has such warmth and gentleness that it can heal the world and prevent the icequeen to succeed... and it has this "we transform a person back from an angry person into a caring and kind person"...for me this game is perfect and i would love to see more of this coming. Thank you, dear developers, for giving us such a nice time while playing, especially when the whole world outside the game seems to have turned into madness at least we have this spare moments in a wonderful painted world... i sometimes wish, i could just have a hut in the woods as the timberman!!!
I recommend this game!

I did like this game much better than the other recently released games of ERS, the developer. It has really nice graphics and i loved that it is not all sugary but has this evil twist going on in the story. I did like that there is lipmoving when people speak a lot and i adored the snowman, who helps you with your tasks. What is unfortunately weak in the story is that you still have to wander around a lot - getting one item in one place to be used i a completely other part of the game, so you have to go back and forth quite a lot. For me games, which work like this, show a lack in thinking on the part of the developers and i would wish this would improve in the following games. But it is a really nice game, has this cosy winter-atmosphere, has changing places from the "real world" to the "fairy world" (or better "underworld" as the one sister has drowned in childhood, but magically stlll lives)... For me it is nice that i can play this game right now, it is entertaining and l loved the graphics (although, just to mention it: one character in the fairy-world looks exactly alike the one in the dove-game from the same developer). I was a bit sorry that there are no collectibles, at least i haven't found them and i am already near the end of the game.
I recommend this game!
