Not one of the best ones out there. The storyline is pretty flat and not at all engaging. Characters not interesting at all.
The art is ok, but that's all I can say for it.
Length of the game is also mediocre. Long enough that it was worth buying it when it was a Daily Deal at least.
I don't recommend this game.

It is a fun game, but I'd say most of the aspects are a bit above mediocre. Nothing fantastic about it, there are better games. But there are also many many worse and less enjoyable games.
While it's not one of my favorites, I'd say it's worth a play if you're looking for something to do since it's decent enough and a pretty good length. Particularly good if you can get it as a daily deal or something.
I recommend this game!

I'd list this in the upper 25% of games enjoyability-wise. It's quite fun.
Slightly creepy, I love dark stories. Also not the best art I've seen, but not the worst either by a long shot.
The puzzles are half and half... some are quite easy, while a few are pretty hard. A bit of inconsistency in challenge level there I feel.
I'd say it's worth a play.
I recommend this game!

Nightfall Mysteries: Asylum Conspiracy was much much better than this one. Where that one was a dark, somewhat suspenseful thriller, this game is rather silly with annoying comically exaggerated characters.
Like the other game, the backgrounds and search scenes are drawn much better than the characters.
At least I think I remember there is a decent amount of game time if nothing else. Others may enjoy this game, but it will help your opinion of the game to know that it's not very similar to the first one.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed it! Pretty good storyline. Nice dark plot. Not too short, but not one of the longest games out there either.
The background art and the search scenes are beautiful, but the character art is not so great.
There is a sequel to this game, Nightfall Mysteries: Curse of the Opera Walkthrough, but I don't think it's nearly as good as this one. That one is very hokey seems almost like a comedy.
I recommend this game!

Granted there are 25 locations, but the game still gets boring after you visit the same location so many times.
Plus the graphics aren't the clearest, so there are some items on the search list that even experienced people may have a hard time searching out.
No entertainment factor for the storyline either. Nothing there to follow.
I don't recommend this game.

Fun, but a bit short, and some of the mini-games too tedious and annoying to be fun. Those ones are challenging, but not in a fun way to me.
Other than those factors it's enjoyable. I'd say it's a good game to buy if it's on sale. I'm kind of on the fence about whether or not it's worth it to pay full price on this one.
I recommend this game!

Probably in my top 10% of favorite games and definitely worth buying, whether you get the regular version or collector's edition. The extra play is pretty good I thought.
Good length to the game and the mini-games are quite fun. Sometimes mini-games can be annoying to me, but I liked the ones in this game.
Art is stylized, but good and detailed.
2 thumbs up!
I recommend this game!

Long enough and fun enough to be worth buying, even the collector's edition! Especially if you like the lighter titles.
I thought the characters and puzzles were fun, and there were a few challenges that weren't so obvious.
It's one of the type of search games though where you look for pieces of an item that is pictured and broken up at the bottom of your screen. Sometimes I enjoy those, but not always. I usually prefer the more traditional search games where you're looking for listed items instead of fragmented images.
I recommend this game!
