The science professor has gone mad! Shortly after the Professor opens up the Norwich Caves under the university, his 4 top students disappear...or have they? Are they simply pawns in an evil scheme? This is a good game with lots of areas of interest but at times becomes a bit mundane. The HOS are progressive list finds where you must find one item and use that item to obtain the next and there are a lot of mini games some of which are new. The story is interesting and the graphics are well done and there are plenty of things to find in each area although there is a lot of back and forthing to be done so you will want to use the map for traveling, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Right from the get go you are going to experience one of the best hidden object adventure games EVER period! I can't even begin to describe the graphics, they are above and beyond, crisp, clear, eerie, beautiful! Yep, collect those fluttering butterflies and hold on to your computer chair there's more, lot's more. Morphs and achievements and one of the best storylines yet. You will discover a man that reminds you of Hannibal Lecter locked in a dungeon and he will help you solve the mystery of Ravenwood in exchange for helping him escape...do we trust him? Do we have a choice? As you find pieces of his cell door relief he will shed light on the mystery of the mists of Ravenwood little by little and believe me it's creepy. The HOS are a mixture of interactive list finds to interactive fragmented bits and pieces you put together to form one piece. The mini games are clever and fun but doable such as connecting red, blue and green lines to form complete lines of each color by turning honeycomb discs until everything lines up. Stop reading and start downloading, enjoy!
With a perfectly chilling atmosphere and beautifully crafted scenes, Into the Haze will provide a fantastic, horror-filled experience that you'll never forget!

No frills in this game folks, but still worthy of playing. Maybe it was just my computer but on expert mode I had to click all over the place because there was no change in my cursor to indicate an area of interest. The game still had plenty of things to do in each scene and the graphics were basic enough to be an entertaining game, reminded me of some of the older games. The HOS were fairly easy although some items were small the scene itself was clear and the items were recognizable. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

This game could have been great, but they overcomplicated the game. You click on a person to tell you where or what to do then you click on the car to travel to the map then you click on the quest star on the map. But I'm not finished, then you click on the button to use the resources to go there. Then you get to a hidden object scene and the items are fairly simple to find but still entertaining. You must revisit that scene 5 times and many of the items are the same ones that you found before. Then you click on the rewards that pop up such as food or coins. Then you click back on the person to get rewarded and click ok for reward. By now I'm click happy and I have to buy inventory and accessories for my dog. If you don't have the coin you have to buy some. When I got to the upgrade of my stairs and it was going to take 30 minutes to upgrade or I could use more money to sped it up I decided to click my way to the quit button.

I really liked this game. This is a solitaire game where you click on cards on the board that are higher or lower than the card on your deck. Then there are games where you try to clear the board with matches similar to mahjong and your deck deals two at a time, you can make matches with your deck cards or matches that are showing on your board. The only complaint I have as you can't go back if you miss a card. There are also mini games such as an association game where you match an item in your inventory to a match in a scene that is associated to that item like a ball and glove. I especially liked the eerie music. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

I'm on the fence with this game, it's not a bells and whistles kind of game, but it did keep my interest! The graphics are okay and the music wasn't bad at all. What I found interesting was the "out of the box thinking" for the hidden object scenes. There are the typical list finds, But, some of them required you to find several fragmented pieces that then go together to make an axe for example. Then you use that axe to break a jar which then gives you another fragment to piece together a shovel and you than have to use that shovel to get the next piece. The mini games are fairly simple such as rotating discs on a pillar to form a picture. This game has a lot of HOS which kept me entertained, but the tasks in each scene are very easy to figure out which could eventually become boring. But so far so good, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Hansel and Gretel are locked in a cage, and the evil gingerbread men are all in a rage. Now the good witch has Chip as her guide, hurry now we're on her side! The evil witch has taken Hansel and Gretel and cast a sleeping spell on their mother! What a whimsical and lighthearted game this is. Mean and mischievous gingerbread cookie minions are everywhere! The only cookie not affected seems to be Chip the unibrow cookie who waits patiently to help you search for the kids, and every time he see's the evil witch's face he remembers and tells the story of Hansel and Gretel! The CE does have collectable cupcakes but this edition is a better buy in my opinion. The HOS are interactive and not really difficult and the mini games such as catching falling blueberries with a basket and letting green and rotten blueberries pass, are easy and lighthearted as well. The graphics are pale and definitely keeping in tune with the fairytale theme and designed to entertain kids and adults. Enjoy!

The last Web of Deceit had a bunch of spiders so I think they toned this game down a notch for the people with arachnophobia. With or without spiders, you're still going to hate Morgana, the evil black widow villainess who prays upon men by injecting them with spider venom! At one point in the game you are a witness to Morgana's lasts venom victim. As the venom is coursing through his veins, he slumps down upon the Hotel stairs and I whip out my analyzer to extract the venom from this poor man! Then not only do I leave him there, but I rob the man blind! Anyway, this game is chock full of mechanical gadgets and doors to tinker with and each and every scene has a lot of thing to do. There are the usual achievements to earn such as not using the hint button in a hidden object game, AND there are 30 posters to find throughout the game and they have done a nice job of making the posters inconspicuous. The HOS are interactive list finds, and some players might complain that they are just piles of junk lumped together and I did find some of the interactive tasks to be somewhat confusing, but it may be more helpful on a casual setting. Mini games are good some require swapping red and green circuits by guiding the circuits around a circle others are locks of which you need to place all gears of three different shapes in the correct place so it will open. The only complaint I have is the black bar tips that continually say's "maybe if I had eight legs" that annoyed me and again maybe it doesn't say that on the easier settings. Enjoy!

This is a good game, but it won't blow your socks off. A sinister doctor has been experimenting with crossing animal DNA but has gone one step further by injecting several animals DNA into your cousin! In the CE version you will earn clothing for a raccoon that has befriended you and when you collect 5 items of the ensemble then you can change outfits. With the SE you still befriend the hungry critter but no outfits to don. This is a pretty easy game to figure out and there really aren't any HOS but rather a find 15 items that the Myan Indians didn't use or a progressive silhouetted item where you find the shadowed items and then use those items in the scene. The graphics aren't the best either but there are a lot of pastel colors to brighten up the game. Mini games are fairly simple and many of them have a casual or hard setting which makes it nice and you can choose a customized game difficulty which is another feature I liked. Enjoy!

It should have been a tremendous achievement, but the tunnel through the Ridge of Leviathan became the site of a great disaster. What really happened that day?

If you are a paranormal fan then you are in for a huge surprise! The storyline in this game is exceptional period! A mother misses her train and watches her daughter and husband who were onboard the train, enter the tunnel and never reach the other side, gone, vanished. One year later a scientist has lured the heartbroken mom back into the tunnel,,,You will be impressed with the quality of production the crisp HD graphics and believable voiceovers. The HOS are well done and a little on the easy side but it really doesn't matter because the puzzles are fun and entertaining and you will find yourself totally engrossed in the game. The collectable flowers hidden throughout the game unlocks bonus games and there are plenty of achievements to earn. I am definitely buying this game to finish this awesome story, enjoy!
