This is based on the demo. Appears to be a fun game. There is an interactive map; hints are helpful; at least one type of collectible. It did appear to be somewhat too easy, although I didn't play the entire demo. Graphics are good; there is some dialog, but can usually be sped up. The detective is supposed to save people from their nightmares. There are three levels of difficulty. All in all, I might buy it, especially with the buy one, get one free deal this weekend. Also, encountered only one HOS, which I like.
I recommend this game!

This is based on the demo. I found this game to be somewhat fun. There is an interactive map, hints are helpful. The HOS are varied, although somewhat dark (in casual mode, there is no click penalty which helps). There is quite a bit of dialog, but pressing the spacebar lets you get through it quickly.
Know I am in the minority, but enjoyed playing, although not sure if I'll buy it.
I recommend this game!
With a perfectly chilling atmosphere and beautifully crafted scenes, Into the Haze will provide a fantastic, horror-filled experience that you'll never forget!

Based on 3/4 of demo: way too many HOS, none of which were interactive. Music is repetitious and had to turn it off. No map.
Was sort of fun to explore different areas. All in all, found it to be a bit boring.

Am in the minority, but if a person wants to get a headache quickly, play this one. Waay too busy. I prefer to be left alone to play a game and not be constantly told what to do. Am happy that most people are pleased with this one - not me. May be my loss, but...
I don't recommend this game.

I usually don't like "fairytale" games, with cute, little creatures, etc. However, (with giving the game a 95% "no" for me,) was greatly surprised. It appears (based on demo) to be a very fun game, with lots to do. There is a map, you can collect arrows for hints - three levels of challenge. I, usually, prefer scary games, but for me to like and enjoy this game - hooray for the game's developers.
I recommend this game!

When I first read about this game, I thought it would be too cutesy/sweet, but I was wrong. It was really fun and would have bought it if a couple reviewers hadn't said it was very short. Would really love to see a game like this, but much longer! One amusing thing I found was, when Richard showed up, it looked as if "he" had more makeup on than the woman! (just a funny note!).
I recommend this game!

I played approx. 15 minutes of the demo. Found it to be entertaining and interesting. However, did NOT like the constant "task list." Very annoying and not needed. The game appears to be sort of creepy and looked to be fun.
One thing I would like to mention (have seen others say the same thing) - no longer see w/t. I always looked at them to see how long a game might be, as I dislike short games. Can probably understand why they are no longer there, but would really appreciate an estimated game length.
I recommend this game!

This is based on the demo. There are four levels of gameplay - easy, normal, hard and nightmare. (pretty sure about the "hard" one). The game starts out in modern times and jumps back to 1790. Puzzles are varied and fairly easy, mostly, but still interesting. HOS are different, from standard to match images, and are partially interactive. I found this to be an enjoyable game. A bit different than might be expected.
I recommend this game!

What an annoying game. HOS after HOS. If you click about 4 or 5 times without finding anything, you get this annoying smoke. Also, the only way I could find to get out of the game was to press "escape." Also, it seems as if there is a constant tutorial. Played for about 10 minutes and couldn't take it anymore.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on one-half of demo, found this to be a fun game, although mostly for children. There appears to be a lot to do. There are morphing objects and "achievements." Didn't see a map. The HOS are not always the same. In one, you changed the magic mirror to the color of the object you wanted to find. There is a little dragon and an owl "helper," who can get a bit annoying. Lots of dialog, which can be speeded up. I, for one, would like to see some good scary games more often. Too much fairy tale stuff gets old fast. (my opinion only).
I recommend this game!
