Too bad the developers didn't do a little more and make this a CE, as it is, it is a SE well worth the price. I prefer animated characters to "real actors" so the stilted animation didn't bother me at all. Annoying that there was no way to turn off the voices so I had to mute the game often,and the background effects were irritating. The story was a good twist on a common plot. Could have been more HOS and puzzles, but those that were there were pretty good.
I would have give this a 4.5 if I could. A pleasantly macabre surprise from a developer that usually has cutesy graphics. This is a fun horror game, has the usual minor flaws of plot and such, but well worth the CE price. hidden object scenes are good, puzzles above average. good length.
This is a good game, very unique in plot. The graphics are just amazingly beautiful, esp. the flora and fauna. Not at all violent or scary (and I normally prefer scary creepy games) puzzles and HOS aren't very hard but fun. I always play without music and voices so can't comment on those. The characters are a little cheesy and somehow well equipped with "earth" things,but it's still a really fun game. Can't wait for the next one!
This game could have been a lot better, but it's mainly HOG scene after HOG scene after HOG scene. a few minigames scattered around, the usual kind. Had to mute all the sound because there was no way to just turn off the annoying voiceovers. I'm a little tired of this story line and the attitude toward wolves, wolves are not vicious beasts who spend all their time hunting humans, and werewolves and wolves aren't the same being. A very basic HOG and the bonus game is more of the same.
I liked this game much better than I thought I would, basically because the developers were smart enough to limit the human "acting" scenes. I love that little dog Elf, he's just too cute for words,esp the ears. Love the map to facilitate movement, and the added "detective" mode which REALLY has no sparkles or hints, it's completely up to you to figure out what to do. Thought it was a little strange that most codes for locks and such were given to you, but there still was a ton to do and figure out. HOGs scenes were good, and mingames a little above average but you've seen most of them before. Couple of other extras in game that add to the fun, won't ruin it for you here. Good bonus game, can't wait for the next MT.
Think of how good this game could have been if the developers had skipped the lousy human "actors" and just drawn all the characters. The over emoting is painful to watch. However the spiders and scenery are fantastic, 5 for them, Luckily you can skip most acting scenes and you can turn off the voices and music.. Nice creepy graphics, good HOG scenes, the usual minigames for the most part. Love the map to facilitate moving from place to place. Wish the Bonus game had been the full game, I want a spider helper too!
I recommend this game!

Emerald City Confidential
Help Petra explore the seedy underbelly of Emerald City, and find Dee Gale’s missing fiancé. Mysteries abound in this dark tale.
I love this game, it's not the kind I usually play, but it's just so unique. Love the way they incorporated The Wizard of Oz into an authentic 1930's detective story. A very rare game in that the voiceovers fit perfectly and aren't annoying. Lots to do and figure out. Hope they make another like this some day!
Explore the vastness of a ship lost in time, what mysteries will you uncover amidst its Mayan idols, menacing sea creatures, and exotic treasures? Find out in this exciting new Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game on the open seas!
This is a fun, spooky and creepy game. Love the extras, like finding beyond objects. Love that there are no human actors and voiceovers can be silenced. Decent length, good HOGs, and minigames could have been harder but still okay. Characters are a little hokey but the rest of the game makes up for it. A game I will play again.
This game is so pathetically slow and easy. Hey beginners, don't worry, play on expert mode, you'll have no trouble at all. There is so much leading in the comments, and you can't turn them off. Turned off the music and voiceovers, but then had to mute the entire sound due to the annoying background noises. Not sure what they are supposed to be, but the main one sounds like a cat about to throw up. HOGS and minigames super easy and seen them before. The plot is boring and plodding and the conversation like your grandma and the her neighbors. this game is only for the incredibly bored.
This is a fantastic game,right up my alley, very creepy and macabre. plot is very good, let's just leave it at that. love the fact that an SE has a "bonus chapter". HOG scenes are fun and a little gross (love it!) . minigames could have been harder, but still fun. Love that I could turn off voiceovers and music. A must play if you love creepy games.
