I will defer to far better people that write a good story description than I can, but as a person that has purchased the first two games, I was hoping for one equal or better. Sorry to say I am disappointed. I am tired of ghosts, demons, smoke monsters, murder stories, and witches. I enjoy sci-fi but it seems that the developers have run out of gas in ideas for this last game. So, I recommend the first two greed games for you to try. They are not home runs but a solid double that I think many will enjoy. I still play the first two greed games from time to time I still enjoy them. See if you agree.
I don't recommend this game.

When I first read the storyline i thought this sounds interesting. It is not. This game is nothing. All it is, is you reading dialog from what may be astronauts talking to themselves without any interaction from you. After 5 minutes I deleted it. The title of this whatever it tries to be and is not, should be Zarya minus zero.
I don't recommend this game.

Ok, this is another mother losing and looking for her daughter that was taken by a monster of some sort. Normally I quit and uninstall but not this time. This game is different because it does not give me the feeling to rush through and get over with it. I like it and am going to buy it because it is different and I am not feeling frustrated. Okay, it is a bit easy but I can change the setting to hard if I want to. Today it is half off so I think it is worth it. I wish they made more "dad" games, and not "mom" games. I am a dad myself. So, even though it does not knock it out of the park, I think this game ranks a solid double.
I recommend this game!

I had high hope for this game but alas this one fails as a sequel. You have a young boy, Timmy, and his mother in a house that has monsters that they are not afraid of because there is no fear factor. What's worse, both characters are so calm when the monsters appear and the voice overs so gentle, it shows a real lack of dimension in the game. I notice many games appear to have Russian credits. Is this what the Russians think of us? The music is repetitive and boring. Cannot recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is great in visual detail and is fun. It is a bit on the easy side with very few hops. It has a lot of dialog in it. Its rating should be T for teens. It is not something that I would buy, but If you are young at heart, around 15 years old, I think you"ll like it. I realize I have not described the story line, but the fun in this game is not knowing the story line. I recommend for many will like this.
I recommend this game!

I normally love Maria Glorum games. I have bought many of them and when this came out I could not wait to try it. NOT THIS ONE. It is slow, gloomy, tired, not fun, dark, and disappointing as to the fact her other games have been so much better. In fact, I am currently replaying again her league of light series I enjoy so much. If you haven't tried league of light, there are several of them. If you find this game not to your liking, try them. Also, mystery of the ancients series is quite good too.
I don't recommend this game.

5 star view, NOT! This is another been there, done that, seen this, seen that, boring, no suspense, yawn, and unfulfilling game that only should be bought for 70% off; make that 80% off. Played about 20 minutes and (yawn) quit. All these games are about finding ghosts or missing children or murders or whatever. I've played enough; time for a nap.
I don't recommend this game.

At first I thought I was really going to like this. It starts out with a scene from WW1 and the townspeople are leaving because everyone is aging from being young to old. So far so good and interesting. Then the game takes a turn to dark and eerie images. The artwork is first rate but the story becomes so strange, with a capitol S as in STRANGE. The puzzles are certainly different from most but the storyline becomes disjointed from the initial story of the people aging and then what? I don't know.
I don't recommend this game.

I feel after only playing the demo that the dark sinister games should come to an end. Why not something more uplifting, positive, with the challenge of I can't wait to see what comes next; instead of the monster poisonous gas garbage we see over and over? How about a comedian writing the script? I could sure use a good laugh on my part instead of the games that have an evil woman laughing at the character in the game.
I don't recommend this game.

Let me first say this is a visually stunning game. It is on the more difficult side such as the map is not always helpful and the objects to find are like, that's it??? It is another dark lord type of game; not at all what I expected since it starts out more like a science fiction cyber type of game and then totally changes to a been there done that I am a queen and he is the dark lord, etc. Even though I am recommending the game, it is not for me. By all means enjoy the demo, but don't buy without trying first.
I recommend this game!
