I loved this HO game. To gain inventory items, find at least five other items. Very unique and I loved it! I didn't think I would like a game about robots, but it really didn't matter about the storyline. The game itself was FUN!
I recommend this game!

I love Shadow Wolf games, but this one was too short, not very impressive places to visit and simply just OK. The bonus section was long, with lots of HOs. If you like Shadow Wolf games, I recommend it, but if you have never played them, I suggest you play the previous two first.
I recommend this game!

I love the Grim Tales games. They're always a great storyline, beautiful graphics, and the map is the most helpful map of any game I've played. The map shows what tasks you have in each area and you can transport to other areas by clicking on the map. No journals either. The bonus game was extra long!! Worth having the CE!! Grim Tales games usually have challenging puzzles. I found most of the puzzles easy to figure out, but there was a few I skipped while in "Siberia." Otherwise, great game!
I recommend this game!

Lots of places to explore. Lots of HO scenes. The bonus was nice and long. Liked the music and story. Would've been nice to have an interactive map, but there was a map that let you know whether there was a goal to complete.

If you are looking for a relaxing and easy HO game, this is it. As a matter of fact, the first Grim Facade game is the same. This game is easy and there was no frustrating puzzles to wrangle with. The HO scenes were a mix of find the shaded object to finding the hidden objects from a list, also using some the hidden object pieces to find the actual hidden object. Puzzles were easy and fun. Story was fine. The diary was not so helpful at all. Graphics aren't the best, but the game is relaxing and easy to complete. The CE came in handy a few times.
I recommend this game!

This was an "okay" game. I had some problems with it though. First of all, quite a few puzzles made no sense to me and I had to "cheat" more often than I wanted to by using the SG. Secondly, each time I opened the game, the strategy guide began at the beginning instead of where I left off. Third, the story was ridiculous and definitely could've been better. Now the good--love collecting the clovers and being transported to various places. I like the bonuses that come with Midnight Mysteries games. Hudini was my favorite though and the story was much better. I wouldn't recommend paying 13.99 for the CE to this game. Maybe if it was 1/2 price I would say try it.
I don't recommend this game.

I wasn't drawn in. I lost interest quite a bit. Music was boooorrrring. Puzzles were okay. HO scense were okay. I just didn't find this game fun. There was no variety in the scenses. Nothing exciting.
I don't recommend this game.

I played the Curse of the Full Moon and loved it! This game came out first, so I had to play it. Just like the first one, loads of fun, lots of HO scense, use of various tools and inventory items, easy puzzles and a great storyline. Wish I had the CE to play the bonus game.
I recommend this game!

This game was packed with HO's and every puzzle was fun and easy, for those who like an easier to solve puzzle. The game was nice and long and loved the music. I have been a little spoiled with having maps and quick access to locations in the newer games (which I love and this games does not have) but the many HO's and inventory items to use and the story itself made this game well worth it. The bonus game was fun as well.
I recommend this game!

I love that this game had many areas to explore, much inventory to use, great storyline and an excellent bonus game!! The game began slowly for me and was a bit frustrating since the puzzles seemed harder, but they got a lot more fun and less time-consuming. I skipped maybe two time-consuming puzzles. HO scenes were fun--you use some of your inventory items in HO scenes. You have a map to take you around the grounds. The game was LONG and I loved it.
I recommend this game!
