this is only based on the demo version. this story was very dark and possibly not great for those who scare easily. it was actually a very good storyline, although you could not speed up the VOS. either you skipped them completely, or sat there waiting for them to finish.
The HOS were tricky and again, very dark with skulls and torture devices all over the place. i found it very annoying that when you found an object, there was a random note which got grating very quickly.
on the plus side, the graphics were great and moving around was pretty easy. your character had possessed demon powers so you could get a hint on what task you had to do next. definately worth a look if only for the story.
I recommend this game!

This game was beautifully made. The graphics were fantastic and the sound was also good.
The HOS scenes were different which was great, many involved finding shadows.
The only problem that i could find was the story line. It was a bit random and i did not really understand what i was meant to be doing.
I recommend this game!

Ienjoyed the first version of this game, so was looking forward to trying out this one. Im glad i got the free trial though because it is the same as the first. in the free hour i could see no difference at all.
if you dont have the first, this game is fun and worth a look as you can easily spend hours playing 'just one more level'.
if you have the first, dont bother with this one!
I don't recommend this game.

I played this for 30 minutes and i got a bit bored to be honest. The graphics were great as was the sound but some of the scenes looked familiar from other similar games. There was also a lot of moving around from one scene to another with not a lot to do in each scene.
Not a game i will buy
I don't recommend this game.

From pretty much the moment i started this game i knew i loved it. The graphics are outstanding, and the voice overs actually sound realistic, not read off a script.
The HO scenes are just right and often involve being pulled into a seperate HO to build something. There are more puzzles than in some, but they are different and so creative i didn't object to them.
The hint button is useful when needed and there is also a list of tasks and a map so you cant get lost when you come back to the game.
The only down side is that occasionally the cursor ran slow when moving round the screen .
I would advise everyone to buy this game
I recommend this game!

as hidden object games go, this game is pretty good. The visual effects are good, the story line is good and the sound quality is... good. I cant say all this is fantastic because it has all been done before in many other hidden object games. the HO scenes are not very challenging, certain actions have to be performed in these to gain some objects. There are flashing hints in these which can be quite off putting and makes the HO scenes less linear. The puzzles are actually pretty easy as well. The 'bad guy' did not appear overly threatening and was pretty pointless with her empyt threats.
All in all, i would buy this game, but i would advise to wait for the normal version as it is nothing amazing
I recommend this game!

finally a pretty decent HO game. The HO scenes were not over taxing and they appeared when something was picked up so you do not have to actively seek them out. The voice overs can be skipped and the background noise is not overly irritating although there is the constant sound of rain. The storyline is pretty good, although slightly confusing. i found it easier to play with out trying to find a reason for what i was doing. All in all a game i will be getting
I recommend this game!

i played the free hour on this game and bought it straight away. its not very taxing, and there is no speed up option so you do have to wait sometimes to gain enough products to build something. i loved it, and the caracters are actually really cute and funny
I recommend this game!
