This started off well. It was creepy, great music, good graphics, fairly good storyline then all of a sudden turned into some sort of weird pixie/fairy dell rubbish. I've given the first half of the story three stars, the second half zero. It's as if the story suddenly veered into a totally new, rubbish direction.
I hardly ever write reviews but just had to after playing this game. WOW it was good. I was a little sceptical about all the warnings at the beginning but there were times during this game when it really made me jump ! Creepy kids, scary axe murderers, an evil clown - it had it all - plus engaging characters and a superb story. I thoroughly recommend this game and the bonus game. I didn't want it to end.
Absolutely superb game. I'd give it six stars if I could ! The graphics are just amazing, the storyline excellent, it's extremely creepy in parts (the Mad Butcher!), the storyline grips you from the start and it's a joy to play. One of the best games I've played in three years. Buy it - you won't be disappointed.
I recommend this game!

I rarely review games but do so when a really terrific one comes along, and this is one of them ! Get the collector's edition if you can as the bonus play is excellent. This game is awesome - wonderful graphics, great storyline. Everything is just perfect. Cannot recommend it enough !

What a fantastic game. Having played the first Dire Grove game already I was so pleased to see another Mystery Trackers game pop up on the same theme. This game is just perfection. Really interesting storyline, awesome graphics, great cut scenes, difficult puzzles and great HOGs. I tend not to review very often unless a game really impresses me and I'd have given this game ten stars if I could. You won't be disappointed if you buy it, go for the Collectors Edition as the bonus play is superb.
I recommend this game!

Superb. Would give it ten stars if I could ! Scary, terrific storyline, great graphics, truly creepy in places and the type of game we need more of please. Some of us like to be frightened ! Highly recommended. Buy it, you won't be disappointed. The warnings are there for a reason though, it can be a bit creepy at times.
I recommend this game!

First of all the graphics are just brilliant. Lots of separate locations, great storyline, not too much back tracking, and the game lasts a long time.
Some puzzles could have had clearer instructions, the hidden object scenes were pretty easy, and the whole thing was a joy to play from start to finish. Loved the music too.
I recommend this game!

If only all hidden object games were like this.
This is an absolutely awesome game. The graphics are superb, the story is excellent, grips you and is interesting. The puzzles are hard (but then I am a beginner), and the game is so long it is terrific value for money.
I love MCF games, and wish there were more. The quality of this game is outstanding.
