Well, I have the other two Haunted Legends and really enjoyed them. This one just seems to have something missing, but I can't figure out what. The usual very nice ERS graphics and game play. HOGs are fun, games very simple. Nice SG and hint system.
The one thing I really can't stand is the music. After a very short time, I just wanted to scream. I have disliked other music in other games, but this one really grates on my nerves.
I do like this game, but not sure it is enough to make me buy it right now. Eventually I will, just to add to my collection, but I would like to know how many chapters it has first and see what others think of the finished game. Didn't make me want to run right out and get it just to see how it ends...I think I'm just tired of that annoying little man. Anyway, into the puddle for a later date.
As always, try the game for yourself and see if it is for you. We all have different tastes in games and you may find it quite enjoyable. Thanks for the reviews.
I recommend this game!

Simple little game, perfect for a rainy, no brainer day like today. I actually give it a 3.5. Very nice graphics and game play. Music nice and can be turned down, as I always do (I prefer light background sound). Very nice voice-overs, although the pitch of the little girl's voice is a bit annoying. A little more talking than I care for and not real challenging, but that's what I'm looking for today.
Haven't used the map, but it looks like it is a jump map, which I really love. HOGs have some very small and hard to see items, but okay. Fast hint recovery and very helpful. A lot of shoe leather in this one, but very enjoyable. A nice little SE for a change and a definite buy for me today.
As always, try it for yoursel and see if it is right for you. We all have different tastes in games and you may not care for this one at all. Thanks for the reviews.

Wow, not sure where to start on this one. Not a bad game, but not a good one either. Very simple game play. Graphics okay, but a bit grainy in spots, music boring. Depserately needs some voice-overs to keep your attention. No real sound FX either.
Games very simple, HOGs dark and a bit junky. Nice hint system that recovers quite quickly.
This game just didn't challenge me at all, nor did it keep my attention. It would be a very nice game for a beginner, and this is the only reason I am recommending the game, but not for a seasoned gamer. Too bad, we need some SEs so I can use up all of my credits. I have 5 credits sitting here now and if I don't get some nice SE games real soon, I will lose them. That will not make me happy.
As always, try the game for yourself. We all have different tastes in games and you may find it quite enjoyable. Thanks for the reviews.

One of my favorite devs...I have many of their games and have never been disappointed yet. This is a very nice game, nice clean clear graphics and game play. Music quiet and nice to listen to. As always, I love the voice-overs (I think they add quite a lot to a game).
Really like the jump map and especially that the spot you need is highlighted in green. Otherwise, you would be running all over the map looking for the right area. Nice SG (stays on the last page - always a major plus). Hint system good as well. Games not difficult.
I am a dog person, but I really enjoyed the cat chasing the dog for a change...caught me off guard and made me laugh.
This is a very nice game and one that I will purchase just to see what happens. Challenging and fun, with a little different story line.
As always, try it for yourself and see what you think. We all have different tastes in games and you may not care for it at all. Thanks for the reviews.

Hmmm, very slow moving game. Nice graphice, clear and clean. HOGs simple and okay, games simple. Nothing new in the story line. Music okay.
This game didn't inspire me at all. Seemed more for a beginner than anything else. Not challenging for me, so no buy. Short, simple and to the point today. Gave this one a 2.5 and recommended only because a beginner might find it quite fun.

Been out of town babysitting grandkids, so just now got to demo. Nice graphice and game play. However...too much unnecessary running back and forth. Made no sense as to why you went from the kitchen to the playground, etc. HOGs are junk piles, but easy to find items. Games same old, same old.
Not sure about the ghosts floating in and out...didn't follow that either. This one just didn't grab me and make me want to buy it now, no matter how cheap it was. I may get the SE when it comes out, but not sure about that either.
I recommend this for those who like to buy new tennis shoes with each game but not for those who like to have a game that makes sense.
As always, try it for your self and see what you think. We all have different tastes in games and you may like this one. Thanks for the reviews.

I have the other two Knightstone games and really liked them. This is a very good dev and the graphics (clean and clear) and game play prove that. I really like voice-overs, they just seem to make a game come to life a bit. The games are nice and a bit different so far. HOGs are fun (I like the mixture of things to do). Music very nice.
The only thing I didn't care for was the SG. You do enough clicking around during a game, you certainly do not need to click around a few more times for the SG. It needs to be on the screen for easy access.
I really like this game and am going to purchase to see what happens. Nice special today. Wish this would happen before I purchase the other games...oh, well.
As always, try the game for yourself. We all have different tastes in games and you may not care for it at all. Personally, I think this is a very nice game and based on the first two games, I think it is worth the CE price. Thanks for the reviews.

Well, I have Kate Arrow and really liked it, but did not get the last Mystery of the Ancients..didn't care for that one at all. However, that said, this is a very nice game. Nice clear, clean graphics, nice music and game play. HOGs not difficult and fairly easy to see items, games not difficult at all.
Interesting story for a change. Would still benefit from a few voice-overs (maybe have some later in the game, but not that far yet#, other than the girl screaming. Extremely intelligent Kraken, and pretty nasty looking up close, but it isn't scary #at least not to me). Some people may not care for it.
I really like the "jump" map. Very nice SG. Hint system has fairly fast recovery (always a plus). This is one of those games that makes me want to purchase to see what happens, so I definitely am going to get it.
As always, try it for yourself and see what you think. We all have different tastes in games and you may not care for it at all...your choice, your money. Thanks for the reviews.

A very nice game. Clean, clear graphics, nice music, nice game play. HOGs not difficult and neither are the games. Quick recovery hint system. Loved the voice-overs and the map (both a plus for me).
Yes, the story line is someone looking for someone else, but a little different. Underwater, which is different for a change. Definitely made me want to know what's happening. Don't know how long the game might be, but I have the need to purchase to see what happens next. Hope I'm not disappointed by the length. I much prefer knowing how many chapter, or pages, before I buy a game, but I like this one.
As always, try it for yourself and see what you think. We all have different tastes in games and you may not feel the same about it. Thanks for the reviews.

Elephant...need I say more? Okay, I will anyway. Very nice game. Excellent graphics, although a bit cartoony. Love the voice-overs and the added humor, i.e., what's your sister's name. Quick hint recovery, for a change, nice SG (although it quit after the first chapter and the game went on, which confused me for a second there).
Very nice game play. Easy games, nice HOGs. I love, love, love the jump map. I wish everyone would use those things! I admit that this was not a "gotta have it game," but I liked it, even with the same old story line, which is the only reason I down-graded the rating (actually wanted 4.5). This is a definite buy for me, especially with the special this weekend.
As always, try it for yourself. We all have different tastes in games and you may not care for it at all. Thanks for the reviews.
