In this game an artist seeks to rescue his family when one of his paintings comes to life. If you liked the Drawn series, you'll probably like this. During game play you move in and out of the real world and the main character's paintings. I loved the fantasy elements of the storyline.
I recommend this game!

Normally I like games that are much more challenging than this, but everything was so pretty that I didn't mind how easy it was! I enjoyed the enchanted forest vibe.
One complaint would be that there's no custom difficulty level. Other than that, I would say that if you like a fantasy storyline this will be a fun game for you.
I recommend this game!

I really liked this game when I played the trial, so I went ahead and bought it.
Rather than a traditional HOS or FROG, you are given a group of pictures, and you have to find things in the scene that go with them (such as mitten and glove are both worn on the hand).
The puzzles are sort of like little arcade games. You use the objects in your inventory to set up a kind of mousetrap to achieve a specific goal. You use a stop/play button to see how your set-up of the objects works, and, if it's incorrect, you can make adjustments.
So, I did enjoy the departure from the typical way that an HO game is done. HOWEVER, I was positively shocked when I reached the end of the game. The whole thing only took me about 2 hours including the hour from the free trial. I just don't think that's a very good value.
This one would be worth it if you can get it on $2.99 day.
I don't recommend this game.

The storyline for this game is really lame, but the game play itself is so engaging that you can overlook the cheesy dialogue.
I enjoy a real intellectual challenge when I play this type of game, and I found that I got it with this one. That being said, the final puzzle is very easy and anti-climactic, and the end of the game is quite abrupt. However, I had so much fun getting to the end that I still encourage you to give it a try.
I also thought this game was a nice length. I'm always disappointed when I feel a game is too short. That was not a problem here.
HOS are a mixture of traditional object lists and silhouettes. The silhouette puzzles are the kind where you need one object to find the next object on the list. The mixture made the game more interesting to play.
I recommend this game!

I like the Dark Parables games somewhat in spite of myself. All of the HOS are FROGs, which I do not like. And, the puzzles are *REALLY* easy, which I also do not like.
However, the storylines are so engaging, and the graphics are so pretty, you just can't help but like these games. I think this game has the best storyline of the series.
I found it very annoying that the map is not even available in hard mode. I don't like sparkles, but I do like to be able to see which room/scene might contain something I've missed if I get stuck.
The bonus chapter is pretty average length--taking about 30-45 minutes to complete. I really liked how it tied into the storyline of the main game.
If you are looking for a real brain workout, this game is not it, but it is a fun way to spend an afternoon.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game despite the fact that it was not challenging. The fairy tale storyline is so engaging that it makes for a fun gaming experience.
All the HOS are FROGs, which is not my preference, but some people like. The FROGs are well done. They're nicely drawn, and it's usually pretty easy to see what you're trying to find.
There are a couple of items you cannot get until you play in hard mode, which you can't do until you've beaten the game once. I didn't love that. It was sort of like they just wouldn't let you play the whole game the first time through. And, for me, the little (very little) bit extra was not worth playing the whole game over again.
This game had several collections you had to acquire to solve certain puzzles, which I really liked.
Like I said, it's not hard, but it is really entertaining.
I recommend this game!

I had never played a Dark Parables game before, and I think I will go back to check out previous games in this series now. This one was pretty fun.
It was not very challenging at all, so if you are looking for something to really work your brain, this is not it. The HOS are the kind that show you the pictures of what you need to find, which I don't care for but I guess some people prefer.
The storyline was interesting. I like the new spin on a classic fairytale. The Red Riding Hood characters are kind of trampy which I found to be completely unnecessary, but I suppose guys will enjoy that feature.
The bonus chapter is a pretty good length. It took me about an hour.
I recommend this game!

This is based on the demo. I will not be purchasing the game. It was too bad.
I have never written a review before, but I feel like I have to on this. I love this genre, but I often have a problem finding games that I think are challenging enough. Typically, this is not a problem with MCF games. However, Shadow Lake could probably be successfully navigated by my seven year-old.
With the Ravenhearst series, the MCF games just kept getting more creative and more challenging--until now. The puzzles are very easy, and they're just stupid puzzles--nothing new or inventive.
If you were looking for a game that would require you to use your brain, this is not it. It is also very repetitive, so even if you like easy games, you will probably still get bored.
Epic Fail.
I don't recommend this game.
