Played the demo in the casual mode, although, there are a total of 3 modes to choose from. The background music is tolerable, although, I generally get bored with it and turn it either off or way down. HOG's are easy along with the puzzles. Story line is ok. The challenge level is ok in the fact that you have to figure out where to go next. There are no voice overs, which I find that I would prefer to have -- just think it adds more to the game.

The game itself is fine, it's the conversation between the charachers that is terrible. Don't be hasty in clicking though the converstation as that will help with some of the puzzles. HOGs are worth the game though. If you prefer to find objects in games easier then this is not for you, personally I like a bit of a challenge to the HOGs.
I started by playing the demo and I didn't get finished with it as I knew that I wanted to purchase it.
Graphics are supurb, background music is pleasant - not eerie as some game are, storyline is great. HOG's are not difficult but create a small challenge. Didn't come across any puzzles during my short play in the demo. It has tasks that are easy enough to follow. You collect fingerprints and jewerly items.
I recommend this game!

The storyline is great and voice is outstanding. HO games are few and far between, but, doesn't distract from the overall challenge. Graphics are great. Puzzles are a challenge which makes it a lot of fun.
I recommend this game!

Pickers
Go on the ultimate treasure hunt in Pickers! Find unusual and valuable items for your shop to turn a profit!
I tried the game first and found that it was challenging, but, not so difficult that you get frustrated and wonder why anyone would buy this game, lol. Beautiful graphics and the background music is the most tolerable of all the games that I have played. As soon as I complete this rating I'm going to purchase it.
I recommend this game!

Echoes of the Past: The Castle of Shadows Collector's Edition
Restore the royal amulet to break an ancient curse and stop an evil witch from regaining her terrible powers!
It does have the walkthrough guide within the game, but, you have to go to the main menu and click on extras in order to get any help that you might need. Once you get use to have the list of items at the top compared to usually having them on the side or the bottom, the game is great and I believe that I will purchase it to play the full version.
I recommend this game!

Mystery Case Files: 13th Skull
Help Sara find her missing husband and stop an evil pirate's ancient curse in Mystery Case Files: 13th Skull!
Although I just played the 'Try' segment, I thought that the long drawn out dialog was a bit too much. You sit and HAVE to listen to the dialog before moving on in the game. With that said, the trial version wasn't that impressive - just not enough time to get a good feel of the game.
I don't recommend this game.

Haunted Manor: Queen of Death Collector's Edition
Dive into Haunted Manor: Queen of Death and save your sister before it’s too late! Find a powerful amulet to stop an ancient evil!
I started the free trial and when it was over I had to look at the clock as time really flew by. I intend on purchasing this game. What I really like is the built in guide. Graphics are great. I didn't pay attention to the story line, I usually don't in a free trial. The HOG's are wonderful, they have you really looking, but, items are generally found without having to resort to the hint button. Too bad that Mozart isn't played throughout the game lol.
