Don't know why this got such bad reviews. I thought it was great. Takes some time to get into, and altho the hint system is not great, it is efficient. This game is more seek and find that anything else: you really have to look for the clues.
Good story: you inherit an old house, and you and your brother go to take a look. Your brother is abducted (and taken out of the rain) but put into a cage. You need to find the key to the cage and to the mystery of the house. Lots of levels to the game, and each chapter closes out.

Good story: you have to go inside one of the most famous of the bard's plays and change the story in order to rescue three lost teenagers. Check out the creepy librarian and his puppet who has set up this little drama.

Good story, your inventor brother has been kidnapped and you need to find him and help him with his new venture.

HOS interactive, and you need inventory items to find some objects
Puzzles good, short skip
Beautiful graphics
Great hint system, tell you what to do
Good length: 6.5 hours which includes 1.5 hours bonus on casual play
Keep 'em coming, developer. Love this series!

Only 4 stars because of length: even with bonus chapter only 4.75 hours on casual play. Not long enough. Can still recommend as CE, just know it is short
