Nobody can outdo this developer at scary, creepy, somebody's watching, abandoned building graphics. I guarantee you will feel as if you are the one searching through the dusty hallways filled with creepy and evil puppets and clowns. Although you will find a map shortly after beginning the game you might want to go old school and click your way back and forth to keep that realistic feel. If you are a HOS fan you will be a little disappointed, just a little, there aren't many they are interactive where you might have to zoom into an area or uncover something to find items. There are also "find 12 keys" and they have done a very nice job hiding the items. What lacks in HOS is definitely made up for with mini games and puzzles. Tons of puzzles such as find 12 differences between two pictures or follow the wires back to the switches and click the right switches from left to right. You will also need to collect inventory items in order to re-assemble planes or cakes. This is the kind of game that has you going back and forth as you find inventory items but there is always something that needs to be done in each scene and it really is fun and you will become engrossed in the game. Enjoy!

This is a fast paced game but you have the option of playing in relaxed mode. As customers arrive with different food items on their mind it is up to you to prepare, cook and serve, all while keeping the customer happy! You will click on the pizza to go into the oven and then click on a plate when the pizza is done you drag it to the plate, add the toppings they desire (I have never even thought of putting green beans on my pizza) and drag to the customer and collect their money. They may choose lemonade or pasta or soup and nuggets as well and if you burn something you have to trash it and loose money. There are upgrades where you can buy items to keep your customers happy or charge more for each item. As you progress in the game you can buy a machine that automatically takes money, or one that automatically trashes burnt food and even a machine that makes the pasta and soups. This is a very entertaining game to play, enjoy!

Interesting story, the townspeople of Serpent Creek are holding their annual festival and they have all drank the Kool-Aid only in this case it's Black Mamba (a very deadly snake) You are a detective and are searching for clues on the disappearance of your friend who is a reporter. This is only a SE and I wasn't expecting bells and whistles, the graphics are good not great, the voiceovers aren't bad and you will get an interactive map. If you are a fan of HOS good news, there are a lot of them, they are slightly interactive and have fairly easy to find items. I was also a little impressed by the mini games they are easy but not boring such as reassembling a mechanical mouse with parts of different shapes that had to be turned until all the pieces snapped together. All in all I liked the story therefor I was able to overlook some lower budget flaws. Enjoy!

This is a good story about the forbidden love between a human girl and a werecat man. Peace existed for eons until a war broke out between the two species and the humans (of course) vowed to kill every feline hybrid that existed! I think you will agree this is an entertaining game but there isn't enough substance to qualify it as a CE. There are 70 collectable memo's to discover but they are simply notes easily found in the zoomed in areas. The graphics aren't bad and there are a lot of vibrant colors. Early in the game you will witness the hatching of a baby dragon who will serve as your hint icon but will help you scare away bats and assist you wherever needed. You can even interact with him while he sits patiently! Your dragon will need to be fed glowing bugs throughout the game if you use him for a hint. There are only two levels of difficulty but the game itself is easy to figure out by accessing the interactive map, once in an area with an available task, it is fairly easy to figure out what inventory item to use. If you must have HOS then you will be disappointed with the lack thereof but there are a lot of mini games and interactive scenes where you read a short story and then reflect that story by turning keys and adjusting settings in a small puppet stage. You will also collect a potion bowl that will be used each time you find a new recipe and their ingredients. I enjoyed playing this game, I just think it would be a better buy as a SE, enjoy!

I am a big fan of this genre of games my favorite one is Haunted Domains but this game is very difficult to keep up with for the simple fact that the customers lose their patients right from the start and their hearts drain way to quickly. The goal is to seat the customers, greet the customers and then get the jewelry from the showcase they chose, replenish the showcases, check out the customer and then collect the money and give the money to Eric (who just sits on his butt at the counter!) When a thief breaks in to steal the jewels you must get the keys from Eric and activate the lasers on that showcase. One thing I didn't like was the fact that if the showcases were empty at the end of the round, they would still be empty at the beginning of the next round. After each level you use the stars you earned to buy jewelry to build a necklace for the king and with the points you earned you can buy upgrades such as chairs to keep customer happy or faster shoes for Amber. You then have to apply the upgrades during the game which I didn't like. I did have fun playing this game but it isn't as fun as DD and others I have played.

Everybody knows you're not supposed to say her name 3 times, but in this case you should cover your mirrors especially at night, don't look at your reflection and NEVER speak to your reflection or Mary will wreak havoc on your life! If you haven't played the Grim Tales series then you are missing out, this is another epic game, one you have to play! There are achievements to earn and collectable monsters complete with videos to find. If you are easily frightened or not into demented twisted graphics, then close your eyes because there is a lot of twisted content, and I LOVE it! Creepy dolls move on their own, eyes follow you everywhere and children's drawings come to life if you watch closely enough. This game also has it's softer side as the children have domesticated a cute chipmunk that will help you out here and there. The interactive map is superior to most CE's and will help guide you around the huge mansion and it's many rooms. The HOS are extremely interactive and yes you can even interact with items. Mini games are fairly simple and most are scenes you interact with as a story is told about Bloody M (oops I almost said her name a third time) So if you aren't afraid of things that go bump in the night then give it a try because I absolutely recommend this game!

This is definitely a low budget game, BUT, it also contains some really good features. You will start out adjusting your resolution by sliding a bar until the top section is invisible. the middle section is barley visible and the bottom is clearly visible. When you board the ship you have the option of stopping the camera rolling effect (a must if you get queasy) There are some really annoying parts as well such as the HOS have really tiny unrecognizable items and names for common items such as a smoking pipe is called a captains tube! There are a ton of doors and it becomes difficult to know which way to go with no map and when you click on the hint button it takes a while to recharge even when showing you which way to go. Puzzles are typical swap pieces to complete a picture and it allows you to replay the puzzles after completing the game. You also collect 33 hidden pearls are they are super tiny as well. This is a game that could have been great with a bigger budget.

I love this kind of game! The goal is simple, match alike marbles by dropping colored marbles down into a jar or jars of marbles. You can right click to change the color of marble one with marble two. There are achievements as well and you get more points for combo plays or finishing the game within a certain time frame. This game sounds ho hum but once you try it you will quickly become addicted!

This is a very entertaining match 3 game made for kids but, I suspect adults are going to enjoy this as well! The friendly ghosts want a town built that they can call home so as you earn coins you can purchase new buildings bridges railroads and more. The match 3 itself is very colorful with bright raspberry's, flowers, mushrooms etc. and some coins need matches beside them to release the coin and other tiles are frozen some are keys that need to be dropped down. In between match 3's are mini games such as find 15 keys or a game of mahjong. Lot's of fun things to do in either timed or relaxed mode, enjoy!
