Another great game in this series. Love the puzzles, hos, story. Just everything. Having a strategy guide was great and I love the hint system. The game seemed a little short but I think that is because I just could not stop playing it. More DELUXE rather than CE.
I recommend this game!

A vast and large game. Thank goodness for the map. The back and forth got tedious. Oscar's constant comments were tedious as well. Great graphics but HOS were washed out. However, I liked the little extras in the HOS. Puzzles were good but sometimes the directions were too vague. Had to skip one I really did not want to but wanted to get on with the story.

Good puzzles. Easy HO scenes. Story was interesting with surprise ending. Not what I was expecting. Could have used some work. Good hint system. A map would have been nice.
Just a solid game.

I would love to be able to give it 3 and half stars. It was very easy. HO scenes were easy and the puzzles were easy. The inventory items were really easy to figure out. However, I was in the mood for easy so I enjoyed the game very much. It was just really short but I would recommend it.

I liked the Fragment Circles rather than the HOS. It was a nice change. Lots of things to do. Great puzzles. It has a map but I rarely used it. Great hint system. Used it more than I should. The story was very confusing so at the end I was left with huh? Some of the items were very small. Hard to see. I had fun with this one.

I paid SE prices for this CE and thank goodness. I don't generally buy CE because they are not worth the extra money in my opinion. BigFish had a sale and I liked the first Fear for Sale so I paid $6.99 for the CE. The SE was very short and the ending was abrupt and made no sense. HOS were easy but fun and flowing if that makes sense. Puzzles were not many but fun. A little too much HOS versus puzzles. Interesting story and great music. I have mixed reservations. Just not long enough for a SE.
I recommend this game!

Nice Game with good HO scenes. Interesting Story. Beautiful to look at with lots of scenes. Puzzles were definitely on the challenging side. Maybe a little too much. Did not have a map so lots of back and forth. This would be the reasons it is not a 5 star.

The game has you switch between three characters so much that it is confusing and frustrating to know what to do. Items are not intuitive. Had to consult a walkthrough which I hardly ever do. At the end, there was such tedious things to do, I just could not wait for it to be over. Good graphics and easy HOS. Puzzles could have been fun but I skipped just to get the game over with.
I don't recommend this game.

Story was awful. Played it as iPad game. Touch controls were terrible. Items way too hard to find. Not enough puzzles. Things did not make sense.
I don't recommend this game.

I liked the game. Did not love it. Great HOS. Puzzles were good but even with strategy guide, I skipped a few. Too tedious. The ending was abrupt and I am still not sure what happened. I did not like the fact that you could not go backwards to places you had already been. Some HOS you only did once. The story did not allow you to go back to previous scenes and I wanted to know what happened to some of the characters at the beginning. However, good graphics and visuals. The SE would be sufficient but you would have to check out a walkthrough.
I recommend this game!
