Review of completed game
The game takes a graphic and gory turn quite suddenly in the middle of the game. I found it jarring and disturbing. I do not think this game is appropriate for children. Apart from the bloody scenes, there is also drug paraphernalia (in one HO scene you have to find a "pipe" and it wasn't the kind you smoke tobacco in) and alcohol use.
I usually don't mind more adult themes in a video game but there should be a warning of some kind. I wasn't expecting adult material in this game and consequently found the material shocking. Since there is no warning posted for this game, I just wanted to let all the fish out there know what lurked in the shadows of an otherwise "cute" game.
Danger next door is a fair game that I would have given 3 stars for if it weren't for the lack of warning. The story is entertaining and resolves satisfactorily. So if you are an adult and don't mind gore, give it a try and see for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm glad I didn't listen to the negative reviews. Usually I agree with the reviews on games that get posted here but a lot of reviews for this one are way off. I played this one through and really had a good time. I hate to think I might have missed it. The story was interesting and the acting was spot on. If you've ever watched shows like Ghost Adventures, you'll know what I mean. This one is getting a bad reputation that it doesn't deserve. Try it out for yourself. If you like the demo, you'll love the whole game. The ending in the standard edition is quite satisfactory.
I recommend this game!

I was surprised that this game hasn't been reviewed more favorably. Try it for yourself and see! It has clever puzzles and challenging hidden object scenes. The hint button recharges quickly and offers pertinent game play hints. I definitely recommend this game to anyone who loves a good mystery!
I recommend this game!

Based on the other reviews I expected this game to be pretty good. However, I didn't like it at all. The objective, in some levels, is too vague and the graphic quality overall is poor. I was very disappointed by it. I am glad I did the trial and didn't purchase it outright.
I don't recommend this game.
