You have to save your nephew who has sold his youth to a witch who can make wishes come true. Great story. Wonderful characters and VOS. Stunning graphics. Good puzzles. Good music. Nothing not to like. HOS are clear and interactive. Interactive teleporting map. Cute animals, especially the purring kitty in the laundry basket. A really, really good game that is also long. Almost 7 hours for me on casual, and I skipped a number of puzzles (quick skip button). Hints tell you exactly what to do if you are stumped. Buy it, you'll love it!

Dahlia, a sexy, modern vampire, is sent to look for a sun potion. Great story and graphics. Awesome characters and VOS. Good creepy music and noises. Interactive compass map. HOS interactive, with a puzzle or two thrown in for good measure. Some repeating scenes on the HOs, but ok, since some of the items were kinda hard to find. Great puzzles, and some intricate moves that have to be mastered. Nice rock song opening. Lots of fun, altho short, and unfinished. About 3.5 hours for me on casual play. Developers, please give us the rest of the story!

You have to save Witchville from a curse that turns everyone into ghosts. No VOS. Lots of HOS, mostly clear, challenging to find all the objects. Good music. Great hint system: tell you what to do if you are stuck. Good puzzles, fast skip button. Some seek and find. Interesting story and characters. Good length, too, over 5 hours on casual and I didnt do all the puzzles.

Great story: a detective has to apprehend Dr. Sigmund Fraud (dont you just love that name!), who experimented on his niece and other vulnerable patients. Lots of scary noises, and a few scary scenes, but not that much. No VOS. A few standard HOS. Many puzzles: jigsaw, octagons, swap the tiles. Also finding things by shapes, which is kinda hard. Some seek and find. Eerie music. Great graphics and characters. Collect magnifying glasses for extra hints. A good length, I was 5 hours at casual, and skipped a few of the jigsaw puzzles. Enjoy!

Your husband, Sam, answers the door for a delivery, and disappears. You get clues of how to find him, and uncover a nefarious orphanage plot. Great graphics. No VOS. Lots of HOS, non-interactive, clear and easy. Nice, creepy music. Good puzzles. 36 morphing objects to find (didnt find them all). Very short game. Just 3 hours on casual play.

Great storyline: as a detective, you are called to Paris to stop Damian LeStrange, a demented magician who is making monuments disappear, and his next target is the Eiffel Tower. Good VOS, great graphics. HOS interactive and clear. Puzzles are fun, with a short skip button. Hint for all areas. Nice music. LeStrange disappears, which bodes for another chapter, hopefully. Not a really long game, only 4 hours on casual play, but very enjoyable.

As the photographer, you have to document the activities of a newspaper reporter and a master detective who are competing to solve the mystery of who the attacker was and how he escaped. Great story and nice graphics. Good puzzles. Great characters with VOS. Long skip button in games. Hints only in HOS, which were interactive, but junkpiles and not very clear. Only gets a 4 as the voices were really low, even on the highest volume. Casual play: 4 1/2 hours.

You inherit a house, but there are a lot of restless spirits hanging out who need some help to move on. Good VOS. Nice, eerie music. Seek and find and non-interactive HOS. Sepia colors are easy on the eyes. Area cleared notice. Not quite 4 hours, but very enjoyable.
