I loved this game, it was bright and colourful. Played on easy and got most of the way through before I had to use the sg. HOs were of 2 kinds some you had to find and some you got just the outline and these were interactive. Good story well told. I never felt that halfway through they got fed up and hurried it as with some games. Beautiful scenes. Still have the extra chapter to play but it is a game that stands alone and will make a good SE. Thank you BF and Devs.
I recommend this game!

As expected from Elephant this is another excellent game. Beautiful graphics. IHO (interactive hidden objects) were good, puzzles needed some thought and I did skip some, not because I couldn't do them but playing late at night because I couldn't stop playing, I was tired. also a different story line. I have the others in the Mystery Trackers and this lived up to them. Can't wait for the next one. Great value as special offer, I would have bought it at full price. Hint were very good if you didn't know what to do next and the map let you jump from one scene to another. All round I loved it. Well done Elephant and BF for giving us this game. The dog going into small places was new to me. A pleasure to play. Thank you.

Again WOW, this is a game not to be missed. Fantasic graphics, great iho (interactive hidden object) unusual story line. A very good map to show you where you have something to do. Good hints, fill fast as well. What I found great about the map was that it showed you the room you should go to when you put your curser over it. Not seen that before I don't think. I have played it all the way through and am now on the extra chapter which I didn't expect. Quite long, I'm not a fast player and it has given me hours of enjoyment. I really have enjoyed this game. Thank you Devs. and bf for giving us such a lovely game. Lots of things to make for using. Good puzzles, some seen before but some with a different twist. all together fantasic. Best game Iv'e played since the Red Ridinghood Sisters.

I thought from the write up for this game it would be much better than it is. I have played it all the way through and was dissapointed. Not that interesting for me. This is the 1st time I have said that I believe. Most games I love. It fits my 19" widescreen which is a plus. Very dreary storyline. Some of the HOs were called by the wrong name. I hate to search for a ragdoll which turns out to be a cuddly toy, a dog I seem to remember. Also others. Graphics were quite good. I never used the map to jump as the hint was good in directions. Puzzles not bad but have had most of them before. The game worked for me with no hic-cups. Some of the things you have to do, you have to find the right place to put whatever you have to use on it. If you like dull and dreary go for it but I don't recomend it. 1st time ever.
I don't recommend this game.

What a change to have a different game, well done Blue Tea Games, if I dare mention them, and bigfish for bringing it to us. I bought it without trying it 1st as the Dark Parable series speak for themselves. I wasn't disapointed. right from the start it had me, wonderful graphics beautul scenes & the game play for me was long. I enjoyed every minute of this game. I love being the Detective! To rescue the sisters & kill the Wolf Queen was a lot of fun. Hidden object scenes were excellent, not too hard but to make something that you needed to use instead of finding lots of useless objects I enjoy. Buy if you like something a bit different. Certainly a 5 * game.

An excellent game, good story ,excellent graphics, wide screen, mines 19". best game I have played for a long time. Bought it at half price but it's worth the CE status & the full price. The bonus chapter finishes it off by letting you find the 2nd lost child. I guess as a SE the player would be left wondering where the 2nd child was! Good hints but take a while to recharge. I did enjoy this game & as I'm not a fast player it gave me quite a good few hours of play. Thanke to the Devs. for this excellent game & to BF for bringing it to us. Meant to say too that it's interactive with not too many hos, so may not suit the player who likes all hos.

Just finished this game & greatly enjoyed it. A mix of HOS circles & lists. You have to rescue your son who has been taken by a Witch, you travel across time, going through portals. The graphics are excellent, the story well done. Lots of puzzles some easy & some needed thought. The hint was very fast at refilling as was the skip on the puzzles. The only point I would make is that the Flag that said Great Britain was the Australian Flag. But well done Devs on a good game & thank you BF.

What a suprise to get this wonderful game at an SE price. Lovely to have some of English History into a game too. The young Princes Edward 13 & Richard 10 were inprisoned by their uncle Richard when their father died & Edward should have been King but determined too young by his uncle Richard, he was surposed to be protector of England until Edward was of age, but by killing them he took the Throne himself. this ofcouse has very little to do with the game it's self but gives an insight into why they were helping you. Great game, HOs not hard & puzzles quite easy. You have a map that shows you where you have something to do but you have to do the tooing & froing as the map doesn't take you . You have a book which is not that helpful as it only writes down what you have just found out. The hints only give limited help & are slow to recharge. The graphics are great & it is widescreen. A fun game & quite long for an oldie like me. I did enjoy it. Great job DEVS. Thank you BF.

This game surpassed my expectations having read the not so good reviews. Excellent all the way through with lots of different puzzles & not too many HOS. Always something to do to get to another bit. Things to collect to use. And when you finally rescue your daughter, it doesn't stop there as I expected it to do. If people would play past the demo before giving a review they may well find they are playing a great game. Well done Gunners & thank you BF for this splendid game.

I have just finished this lovely game & enjoyed it very much. The graphics were fantastic & the storyline was clever. Not a hard game so don't think it was worth CE but as I got it with a pcc, what more is there to say. Loved the voice, puzzles & hos were on the easy side but I did enjoy having an entertaining game for a change. Didn't expect the ending as it was. But great game if you want a fun few hours. Yes, it did take me longer than someothers have said. Thank you Devs. & BF.
