A fire breaks out during a concert, and now your daughters are both missing. Hurry to track them down – their music may hold the key to life and death!
I liked how interactive this game was. I LOVED how they took the small window game play and turned them cinematic. This was also done in FRIGHT and I love the way this looks! This was done when you need to collect a wooden doll for a puzzle but it falls off the balcony. Later you come back for it with a gaff. They storyline what was lacking in this game. The bad guy is running around with a stupid mask and trys to scare the main character by playing his violin.....ok. not. scary.... But other than that, I will buy the standard version of this game, the collectors edition is lacking as well.
Another lure for me is games that SEGMENT game play into different short storys, if you'd had us save 4 different children (in various distress and the bonus play a 5th child to save, it ALWAYS sells games, such as in Redemption Cemetary, Reinicarnations, and Mysteries of the Mind Coma, House of 1000 doors....
PLEASE DEVELOPERS.... I WILL ALMOST ALWAYS BUY A GAME THAT OFFERS SCREENSAVERS.... wallpapers and behind the scenes how the game was made....again, see Fright.) but stop trying to lure us with concept art and music tracks.... who cares, whenever I read these coll ed reviews it seems NONE OF WE MEMBERS CARES FOR CONCEPT ART OR MUSIC TRACKS!
Based on the demo only... I really disliked this game. Nothing worked, the storyline was about Leonardo Divinchi and a madman stealing his prototypes. The graphics are cartoonlike and colors are faded with no depth. Maybe I disliked it so much because I just came off of playing FRIGHT which by all standards, INCLUDING what you get with the Collectors Edition, (except no screensaver) was perfect. Gameplay and colors, perfect graphics.....ho hum, why can't ALL the games have graphics like Fright???
My library has virtually HUNDREDS of games. I have played games from all different developers. ERS made Redemption Cemetary Series which was great, because the gameplay was so great. But now they need to step up their cartoonlike graphics. I DO like how this developer is one of the only ones that give SCREENSAVERS. Who cares about concept art, but I will actually buy a game for a screensaver.

Review based on completion of the Collectors Edition.
I have 100's of games in my library. I play these all year since 2009, so I've seen what all the developers put out. This game has to be my favorite. Its set up in segments where you save one character for 1/4 of the game then that storyline ends and you start another....
OTHER GAMES LIKE THIS: Redemption Cemetaryseries, Reincarnation series and House of 1000 doors series. If you like perfect graphics and games where it ALL works.... this is the one for you! Well done....
I have hundreds of games in my collection. I have been playing nonstop since 2009 (and I'm disabled....this is ALL I do.) I BOUGHT THE COLL ED AND PLAYED ENTIRE GAME. I don't review games often, only if they are Perfect or just the opposite.
Everything works. Everything, the graphics, the voice overs the acting, the story, the things you get in the collectors ed. The ONLY thing that would have PERFECTED this game is a SCREENSAVER. And, an "animal helper", such as the homeonwers dog would have been wise.We don't care to get music tracks, or concept art. The first time Ive ever seen over 20 videos of "the making of" in the COLLECT ED. Wow, that was so fun seeing how you made the game and makes the Colle Ed. worth it.
I loved how they had you collect money to use in the CE "gift shop". These designers actually figured out how to have you feel like a voyer, via the smaller visual frames, you could look through a window in a house and see the characters inside...or into a room and see whats going on... it was the most clever thing I've ever seen in a game.
DEVELOPERS AT LESTA..... HATS OFF. If only all the developers used your actors and graphics and BRAINS!! WELL DONE!! Only a couple of games equal the quality of this... 1. Mysteries of the mind:Coma,& Reincarnations series THE MINIGAMES REALLY ARE REPLAYABLE AND FUN, COLLECTERS EDITION IS WORTH THE MONEY!!
This is one of my all time favorites. I wish they would make another. Everything about this game works. The graphics are gorgeous and the storyline is a blast. You are in a coma and changing the fate of different storylines. (The game plays in segments like Redemption Cemetary) which is such a blast!!
Over and over the same nightmare is following you: your sister Anna is trapped in a strange existence, begging you to help her escape. But what if these are not just random nightmares?
I play the demo to and MOST EVERY game that comes out, and one thing I have noticed in common lately is most of the games are PROGRESSING. They are getting bigger and badder. A perfect example of this is The Grim Tales Series. When you dish out good money for a collect. edition....You hope for more than addl. gameplay. Just look at how many addl. features Eleph. games gives you in their COLL ED. 3 SCREEN SAVERS, Rewatchable movies etc. In this game, you wouln't even WANT to rewatch the movies. PERSONALLY i LIKE TO SEE SCREENSAVERS AND WILL BUY THEY COLL. THAT HAVE THEM THAT YOU CAN KEEP ONCE THE GAME UNINSTALLS. And developers....none of us cares for the CONCEPT ART that I know of.... so drop that. ANYWAY.... The last installment of this game, Citadels of Time (I bought and played the whole coll ed.# That game was pretty good. It followed a clever storyline similiar to Redemption Cemetary-The Raven #which is still untouched, lets face it... other than the Reincarnation's series)
But this game was lacking on all fronts. It had the SAME MUSIC. The cutscenes BARELY moved and in this day and age.... The graphics were lacking too, with all the goreous graphics, look at Mystery case Files- Escape from Ravenherst to see perfect graphics... They EVEN KEPT THE WITCH AND the storyline the same , come on, times are changing. The LAST, CITADELS OF TIME- Echos of the Past was definetley the best of this series.
