I purchased the game based on the 4 star rating. I found the story line interesting. But as I played, I quickly became bored with the actual play. The repetitive "find object and insert" was used for almost all the game. The HOGs were more of a challenge. The graphics are almost old school. I recommend this game for less experienced players.
I don't recommend this game.

This developer has created the best PC adventure game to be released in many months. The plots were interesting and logical, the voice overs fit the characters, the graphics top notch, and the mini-games challenging and unique. I have played the chapters several times and still find them engaging. WELL DONE! Please release more.
I recommend this game!
Pendle Tower was once a lavish high-rise hotel, but a new renovation has awakened a long-dormant secret within its foreboding halls.

I always enjoy Mystery Case Files games. It was fun to encounter past games characters. The mini-games are challenging and the story line is somewhat unique. The graphics are clear and gameplay is easy to follow. The additional collectors edition game is just as enjoyable. I found the hidden objects to be well hidden and required careful searching.
I recommend this game!

This was a fantastic game to play. Superb graphics, music and game play. The voice overs were very well done. The mini games were challenging and new. The story line has a few twists which kept the flow of the story interesting. I always wanted to ride an elephant!

I enjoyed this game immensely. The graphics were excellent, the voiceovers top notch. The story line flowed logically and had a satisfying conclusion. A nice change from games that require the player to play an arcade style mini game to end the game. Good job Shiver!
I recommend this game!

I fully enjoyed this game. It was a challenge from start to finish. The HOPS are traditional and require careful searching. The mini games are varied and new to me. As a veteran Big FIsh player, I appreciated something different. Graphics are crisp and beautifully rendered. The story line is logical and engaging with a positive ending. I recommend this game! Good job developers.
PS. I love the Elf character and was glad he made an appearance. Would have liked to see him participate more as part of the game.
I recommend this game!

Glad I bought this game. I was challenged and entertained throughout the entire game. The HOPS were innovative and the many mini games were challenging. The game play was longer than expected. I recommend this game!
