I too only played this demo for 30 minutes. The music is creepy and makes me feel like, get me out of here. The map is terrible; a waste. I know everyone has their own opinions and I respect that, but I wonder how sometimes a game like this gets a five star from someone, and I would not pay $2.99 for it, maybe 99 cents. On second thought, not even that.
I don't recommend this game.

After I played the demo, I bought the game. After you get past the first hour, the game gets much harder and the frustration sets in. When you click on 12 different items and nothing happens except you have to keep looking and you have to go back so far at different points of the game, it is no longer fun, it is arrgghh! I thought because this was an "Elephant" game, it was going to be good. It is good and HARD. I bought the CE version. The bonus was good, about an extra hour. My wife who is much better than I am at these games was also frustrated with the game. Last note, the map is terrible. It too is useless and confusing.
I don't recommend this game.

I only played the 1 hour demo version and decided not to buy this game. This game is very cute and very much female oriented. Nothing wrong with that but it is like a fairy tale with cute figures, great animation, and not too hard and not too easy. Being male over 50, it does not move me but I think that others should give it a try. I don't understand why the developers make most of the games so gender one sided. Anyway, give this game a try, many I think will like it, some won't.
I recommend this game!

To me, this is more like the missing hotel. I found the mini games confusing as to, ok I did this, nothing happened, now what? So I had to skip it. The items you need to find don't always make sense to as what it is used for. Example, to get rid of the ghosts, I never thought to use a scythe. On the second floor, who would have thought I have to pour the magic elixir on the man to get the stuff to work. I kept trying the floor. I realize my reviews are not nearly as good as others in explaining; my writing skills were never great. I do the best I can.
I don't recommend this game.
Surface: The Pantheon Collector's Edition
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?

I played this game 30 minutes and then stopped. The graphics are great, almost a 3D element to it. It has many voice overs and although I believe it is geared more to moms with kids and husbands because she lost her family on a train that disappears, from a male point of view, I can't get into it, but that is ok. Many others might like it, it is a fine game, just too mommy like for me. I am a dad with 2 grown children. Perhaps a game more for us dads.
I recommend this game!

I am not a key contributor, nor at the expert level. My only criteria is, is the game enjoyable, not too hard or not too easy. This one, the strategy guide is very poor. The hint system is not too good and the fun factor is so-so. I would buy it for $2.99 but that's it.
I don't recommend this game.

After playing 15 minutes, I quit. This is not a game for a person like me. That gimp is distracting and too much chatter from him. This seems to be a game tilted more toward young females and there is nothing wrong with that, just doesn't work for me.
I don't recommend this game.
