The story is interesting: you must catch a serial killer. There is only one game mode and sparkles for the HOS.
- The HOS are really frustrating: the objects can be really small. Nearly impossible without hints...
- The mini-games go from easy to challenging.
- You have a task list but no journal. If you want to solve some mini-games, better write all clues down, because you'll need them. You are always told when you have to go to a location, and you jump to it with a map.
I spent most of the time trying to locate the objects in the HOS. The whole game took me about 3 hours.
I don't recommend the game if you have problems with small objects or challenging puzzles.
I recommend this game!

This game is good for those who want a break from long games: it is short, for me less than 2 hours...
But the storyline is good; the graphics are clear; the HOS also.
The mini-games are easy.
There is no journal and no map; and a lot of walking...
Even in the Challenge mode there are sparkles.
Well, this game is not challenging at all. But as I said, it's good for a break...
I recommend this game!

This game has some interesting twists. There are HOS but also various objects to find in the locations. The mini-games are easy.
There is a lot of back and forth and no map, but you are notified when an area is complete.
The dialogs are sometimes too long for me.
The hint system shows you the way.
There are also sparkles in the Expert mode.
The game is rather short; for me a bit more than 2 hours.
I recommend this game!

The story is interesting, but not new. There are 2 game modes, but sparkles in the Expert mode.
The graphics are ok, a bit oldstylish.
The HOS are easy as well as the mini-games.
The journal contains a task list and a map, but you can't jump to a location.
The hint system shows you an active location.
It took me a bit more than 1 hour to finish...
I recommend it only as a DD or with a credit.
I don't recommend this game.

The story reminds me a bit of PuppetShow.
There is only one game mode; that means that there are sparkles for the HOS.
The graphics are clear, colorful.
The mini-games are on the easy side; some are repetitive.
The hint system is ok.
The game is very short; without skipping it took me 1 1/2 hours... But otherwise, it's a nice game.
I recommend this game!

In this game, for each location, you have to search in the present and the past; I like this idea! It makes it challenging, since you have to look everywhere.
There are 2 game modes and sparkles in both...
There is no map, but not many locations per chapter so no fear of getting lost.
The mini-games are rather easy.
Without skipping, it took me about 2 1/2 hours.
I recommend this game!

The story is interesting. There are 3 game modes but even the Hard Core is easy. The graphics are great, colorful.
The HOS are clear. The mini-games are on the easy side.
You get a journal, a list of objectives and an interactive map, allowing you to jump to a location.
The hint system shows you the way to a task.
The voice-overs and the characters are good.
The game is not very long; for me about 2 1/2 hours.
I don't give 5 stars because I find it a bit too easy.
I recommend this game!

I loved this story full of zombies! The graphics are not perfect but clear. There are 2 game modes.
There are not too many HOS. But there are many mini-games, some of them really challenging.
The map is no interactive; I found it useless. So you'll just have to walk...
You have also to find some medicine bags to get more strength, which you'll need for some tasks. Good idea!
The hint system is ok.
The game is not very long; without skipping, it took me about 2 1/2 hours.
But there are some original ideas, so I think it's worth the money.
I recommend this game!

I recommend playing all games of the series one after the other. The story continues and, for me, this one is the best. The graphics are as beautiful as before. The game is rather easy but there are many interesting mini-games. There is no map but it's not really a problem.
There are a lot of achievements to get.
The hint system is good. The characters are funny. The gamelength is ok - about 3 hours for me.
All in all, a cute game for a great series.
I don't give 5 stars because I find it a bit too easy.
I recommend this game!

Again a nice story. There are 2 game modes.
The graphics are clear. There are not too many HOS. The mini-games are interesting, on the easy side. There is a good journal, but no map, which means walking back and forth, and quite often.
The game is not too short; for me about 3 hours.
All in all, a cute, fresh game. No monsters, not ghosts, nothing dark.
I recommend this game!
