Though the period-themed games may becoming a bit 'tired' in their commonality, the storyline was a bit different from the recent 'norm, and, therefore, a welcomed change, indeed.
Surprised I overlooked the CE when it first appeared, yet a definite buy based on the Demo...
Nicely done!
Thumbs up!
I recommend this game!

Based on the Demo this game is a perfect balance of mystery, intrigue, pleasant, scary (without unappealing overt occult, thus far at least)..... I purchased it and believe it is at least WELL worth the price tag.
So, overall, this is a very well made game: nice graphics, clear H0G scenes, appealing cutscenes, voiceovers good, sound great and mix of puzzle with H0G and adventure, a great mix that should appeal to most all casual gamer genre lovers.
Obviously this can't be compared to CE game offerings, yet as presented, it is a definite winner.
Give it a whirl... it's enjoyable gaming in every respect.
Thumbs up.

I loved the Dash games but this can not even be compared..... this is way more fun and is challenging yet not crippling.
I've become an addict to this game and I confess that I PLAY THIS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER....
It's the most fun EVER!
PLEASE, PLEASE BRING US A SUPERMARKET MANIA 3!!!!
YAY!

This game is outstanding in every way.
The artwork, music... everything is top notch and a bit different than we are used to here on BFG and I mean that in a positive way.
Oh, it would have been superb for around Halloween time, yet so well created, it will be just as enjoyable at any time of year.
On a personal note, I have a feeling it's one of those games I'll pull out of the cobwebs next October and re-play.
Give it a whirl... you may be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

My review pretty much states how I felt about the game; I know I'm in the minority group but feel no shame in expressing my opinion.
I tried liking this game... I REALLY TRIED!!!!!
I even reinstalled on another computer to retrial it and agghhhh.... the title states the truth... it is true... It's a nigtmare realm of a game (to play, that is#. Sorry, but I can't hold back my true dislike of this game. It was totally disjointed and bazaar and not in the sense of interesting, intriquing bazaar, it was just made no sense, frustratingly formulated, dull and nightmarish. Whew... glad I could hit delete and WAKE UP from this one. :p
Just awful. :(
I don't recommend this game.

I am simply loving this game and hope there will be like it.... engrossing, immersive, adventure-ish in style and with only enough H0G scenes (ie. not too many/ with alternate match 3) to make it enjoyable. I am approximately 60% finished.
So far, I am SO impressed. I sure hope the ending doesn't disappoint as many have in the past.... SO many times I begin with enthusiasm and have to force myself to finish.
With PHANTASMAT, I am enticed to finish... in fact I CAN'T STOP PLAYING!!!
I am hoping it doesn't take any detours that will change my mind and if not, I would say... HURRY!!! BRING MORE ON!!!

Based on demo:
Well done in every way; unique and the storyline draws you in right from the beginning.
The scenes are creative and detailed...
Thumbs up to BFG and devs to a great total package game... it has everything so far that one could ask for in a spookier-themed game.
I recommend this game!

WOW, a quality Christmas theme-based game; an immediate MUST BUY... there are SO FEW to choose from.
I don't have much more to add in this review that many haven't already covered regarding the game, yet I just had to get my 5 stars in to give kudos to a developer and game site that truly pays attention!!! :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Just one question

In watching the video clip I notice and ask:
Why is there a "holiday" theme pseudo-song tune subtly clipped in to the beginning of a 'dark' tale about children's souls?
I found it offensive and "politically incorrect" and won't even check out the demo now. What is supposedly good theory, "polictically correctness", should apply to ALL and not just some. If this same type of manipulation was applied to any one else's belief or religion or race, there would be outroar.
That is simply not acceptable IMO.
I don't recommend this game.

Looks like I'm one of the lonely dissenters of this game. I found it to be as per usual, tho the graphics were nice, nothing outstanding at all.
The beginning was just a lot of busy play and not much sense or reason as why or how the play was directed.
"Unfinished" is a good title to sum it up in general because it appeared to be just another game of similar context yet it never even pulled together.
Just average and nothing special IMHO.
I don't recommend this game.
