I have played the Virtual Villagers series and like them all very much. In the New Believers there are new challenges and lots more to do to make the village a success.
I enjoyed seeing the children, including the suprisingly precious heathen rascal, enjoy the butterflies. The games of tag and nursery school are sweet.
The villagers are a tad small, but not so much as to affect the play. One of my villagers looked like Dolly Parton and another like Stooge, Larry Fine. I had my favorites and hated to see the old villagers die.
Play this game. It is great fun and a welcome break from day to day stresses.

After being called to Paris, you find yourself in the middle of a shocking mystery involving an ancient werewolf hungry for revenge.

Yes the game is short, but the beautiful artwork more than compensates for the game's brevity. The story is fun, though predictable and rather disjointed. But play it for the color and clarity of the scenes, the relaxing puzzles and interesting hidden object finds. I took BF reviewers advice and bought the SE. Shadow Wolf Mysteries: Cursed Wedding is certainly worth $6.99.
I recommend this game!
The residents of Bitterford, Maine have fallen prey to a terrible curse. It’s up to you to unravel the series of mysterious events that led to the town’s downfall and uncover the evil that was responsible.

Dull, boring and not up to MCF standard set by Dire Grove and Ravenhearst games. The hidden objects are small and the overall look of the game is dull. Don't waste your time or money.
I don't recommend this game.

Ten minutes of the demo was enough for me to decide not to purchase this game. The scenes were small, dull and uninteresting. Nah.
I don't recommend this game.

Is it just me? My villagers have demonstrated individual personalities and I have my favorites. I have a six year old village chief and so enjoy when she lectures then plays in rain puddles. One boy grew up the only child in the village playing see-saw by himself and spent his entire childhood gathering mushrooms to keep his village from starving. Now I let him do whatever he wants.
So much talent went into developing these games. Amazing!

Another good game from ERS. (They really bounced back after the very disappointing Haunted Halls, Revenge of Dr. Blackmore.) Haunted Legends, The Undertaker CE is everything I have come to expect from ERS. Scary, colorful, interesting and fresh. And I adored the impudent capuchin.
I recommend this game!
Lead your villagers as they solve all new puzzles and hidden mysteries of the west shores of the island. Will your tribe survive?

This game was so disappointing. The first hour (as is the trial play) was ERS quality as expected. From there this game went downhill. The storyline was OK, but the artwork was dull, flat and uninteresting. I finished the game, but it is a "groaner."
I don't recommend this game.
