I had a hard time playing the entire game, because it's so sloooow... The idea is good, but the result is rather disappointing.
- The graphics are not of the best quality, but ok. The objects in the HOS are easy to find.
- The mini-games are interesting, sometimes challenging, but mostly very easy.
- The journal is useless, as well as the map.
- There is also an option of making auctions, but I found it boring.
The game is very short, less than 2 hours, without skipping.
I don't recommend this game.

I liked this game. The story is good. There are 2 game modes; I played in Expert mode: there are still sparkles, but no hints.
- The graphics are very clear. The HOS are not cluttered.
- The mini-games are very easy but good.
- You have a journal with help for the mini-games.
- There is no map, a lot of to and fro, but not too many locations, so you won't get lost.
I think I would have given 5 stars, but this game is way too short. Without skipping, I barely needed 1 1/2 hours to finish.
I hope that the sequel, if there is one, will be longer.
I recommend it for a DD or if you have a coupon.
I recommend this game!

This game has an interesting story. There are 3 game modes. I played in Advanced Mode, where there are still sparkles.
- The graphics are very clear, even in the HOS.
- The mini-games are not the kind you usually get, which I found really good!
- You have a journal but no map.
- The hint system shows you the direction.
The game is not very long; I needed less than 2 1/2 hours to finish. But I still recommend it.
I recommend this game!

Again a good "Grim Tale"! As the others, it's about werewolves. There are 3 game modes, and no sparkles in the Advanced.
- The graphics are clear, even in the HOS.
- The mini-games are sometimes really challenging!
- There is no journal, but an interactive map, really useful, since there is a lot of to and fro.
- The hint system is good, telling what to do next.
The game is quite long; without skipping, it took me about 4 hours.
I recommend this game!

I like the idea of using a device to travel in time. There are 2 game modes, but sparkles also in the Expert mode. I've seen better graphics but they are clear, even in the HOS. The mini-games are very easy.
The game is very short; it took me about 2 hours. So I would recommend it with a PC or as a DD.

The game starts with a car crash, but the story is good with an interesting ending.
There are 2 game modes. The graphics are clear, even in the HOS.
The mini-games are on the easy side but interesting.
There is no map but it's not that necessary.
The game is not very long, a bit more than 3 hours for me in the "nightmare" mode, but I still recommend it.
I recommend this game!

Again a good "Mystery Trackers"! The graphics are great. The story is really interesting. The game is on the easy side but entertaining.
There are 4 game modes. There is an interactive map, allowing you to jump to a location.
The hint system is good, telling you what to do next.
The game is not very long; without skipping, it took me about 3 hours. But it's well worth the money!
I recommend this game!

The storyline is interesting. There are 2 game modes.
- The graphics are clear, even in the HOS.
- The mini-games are mostly easy.
- There is a journal, but no map, although I would have been happy to have an interactive map, since there is a lot of walking!
- The hint system is good, showing the direction.
The game is not very long, about 2 1/2 hours for the main part, and a bit less than 1 hour for the bonus chapter. But I consider it worth the money.
I recommend this game!

This is not the kind of game you usually get. The graphics are funny. There are many objects to find - which can be hard - and mini-games to solve - sometimes also hard. The problem is that there are no real hints, and no possibility of skipping the mini-games, which can be really frustrating. All in all, an entertaining game - but be patient!
I recommend this game!
