I have often wondered if the reason
more and more games are including

This game would be more enjoyable
if we were allowed more choices.For
instance why can't we name our little
people ourselves?

Give them real jobs? Beginner Soup
Taster? Seriously?

family and friends over for dinner?

Also give them a starting salary of a few thousand

aren't on welfare. lol.

This game would be more productive and fun if
the game makers had actually put more thought
and logic into it. :\

Unlike the first Grim Facade which
takes place in 19th century Venice,
this story takes place (from the look),
in early 1930's Tuscany. The scenery
was so lovely that I just took my time
solving the mystery.lol.

I love this game.The graphics are
wonderful as was the music and the
voices.The Scots accents was nice
to hear.This game reminded me somewhat
of Redemption Cemetary,where (you) the
character is trapped by an evil ghost and you
have to help out the ghosts who are trapped
as well before you can escape.

I was very happy that there was a wallpaper of
the library which I immediately set on my laptop! :)

I was so into the game that when my hour was up
I bought it.I just had to find out what was going to
happen next.And if the ending to the bonus chapter
was any indication I believe that there will a sequel.
Hopefully Soon! The puzzles weren't too hard but the
hidden objects scenes did drive me a little nuts as some
of the stuff was difficult to find. Oh,well! :)

I have just finished playing this
game and I loved it.:) It is a sweet
and quiet story of Patricia in search
of 'SUN' who had decided that it needed
a little vacation.lol.The pictures and colors
and the music were like the story itself,
quiet and sweet.My only disappointment
about the game was that there were no wallpapers.
I hope that there will be another game about
Patricia coming soon! With wallpapers.:D

I just played the trial version,
or at least part of it.I uninstalled
it when I had eleven mintues left.
The thing that I disliked most was
the live action included in the game.
With real people in the game it reminded
me too much of Alfred Hitchcock inserting
himself however briefly into his movies.
It totally ruined my 'willing suspension of disbelief'.
Add the fact that the character simply went willy-nilly
to an unknown house inhabited by unknown people
without having the police or a P.I. checking them out
first! The puzzles were okay at first,until I got to the one
on the desk.I didn't much care for the instruction on
pressing three buttons five times.Did that mean I
should press each one five times? Or what? I didn't
know and there was no skip button that I could see,
so I just threw in the towel and I uninstalled the game.
So,no I won't be buying the CE or the SE either when
it is released. :( p.s.I prefer my puzzles to be challenging,
not confusing.

This game would have been a lot easier
if I had been able to turn the pages
of the so-called strategy guide!
As it was I never got into the house,
or into the mine.
But the visual effects were good...what
I had been able to see of them and I did
like the music.:\
