As my rating shows it was O.K......I've played worse..definitely !!!! If you like games that are somewhat slow and ponderous this is your game, otherwise look elsewhere.....all the same it's worth checking out, you never know it MAY float your particular boat.....sorry for the sailing analogies.....but I have to clear something up.......it's ROWLOCKS !!!!!!! The oars go in the ROWLOCKS so you can ROW !!
Another bloodcurdling tale ripped from the pages of history. This time, the horrifying legend of Elizabeth Bathory is yours to discover!

I enjoyed this game......a bit ! It would have been better without the potion making though.....that really got my goat !!! It seems like the first hour of the game is taken up with finding ingredients for potions OR making said potions....now I don't mind a bit of potion making as a rule, but do we need so much ?Otherwise it's a good solid game and well worth the price....4 stars ( 5 without the chemistry lesson ) Overall though it's a big fat RECOMMEND......HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
I recommend this game!

Only played the demo, I like H.O.Gs but this was just overkill.....way to many hos...I played for about 40 mins and never left the detectives office ! I don't know if you get to ever leave the office, as gave up then. The storyline was good and could have been a great game, sadly it wasn't ( in my opinion anyway ) nothing much else to comment on as nothing much else happened......but give the demo a go especially if you're REALLY into your HOGs .....otherwise it's a no-go for me.
I don't recommend this game.
You're a top reporter in search of a missing toymaker – but this isn't child's play. Is something otherworldly responsible?

I really enjoyed this game, it was a change from the usual. I only played the demo but it's a buy for me, definitely. The H.O scenes were a bit different in that you had a choice in things to find ( I don't know if all the things were there though...you just had to click on the blue ones in the list and it gave you 3 choices of what to find ) Game play was smooth and the graphics were clear. The story seems good from what I saw.....it's one of those ' take your time ' games....you need to have a good look around as things aren't obvious sometimes. I played on the middle of 3 difficulty levels and HOS sparkled.....but nothing else. No map, no black band clues but the hint was good.
I recommend this game!

Absolutely awful.........gave me a HUGE headache, HOS virtually impossible !! I'm normally quite good at these, BUT.....I spent nearly 10 mins on the first one. Had to find gems to combat the ghosts and these were very hard to find...and you have to fight the ghosts to continue to other areas...if you can't find the gems you are kaput !!! Basically a very annoying game. No intr, just type your name and BOOM you're in front of a big mansion....a bit of back story is always nice, isn't it ? However it may suit someone else to a T....as always try before you buy .....Happy Christmas Fishes....and a great 2014 x
I don't recommend this game.

Surprisingly enough.......I enjoyed it. The game runs smoothly from scene to scene, and there's an excellent transporter map that works very fast { some do take a time, don't they ? } overall a good game.....the only con for me was the making of the potions, a bit tedious and repetative...{ cant we just find them ? } I could have done without that !!! anyway it was a buy for me and I'm glad I did, a little light hearted but thats a plus sometimes.Happy Angling, Fishes xx

What a great game.......loved it, loved it, loved it. the game jogged along smoothly and I never felt bored, despite it's extraordinary length !!! HOS where fun and easy to see, interactive too.Puzzles were good, some quite difficult, others not so much, but there were quite a few that were new to me. I played on the second of two difficulty levels and it was just right, hint was very helpful too. I have no difficulty recommending this really rather great game.So use your pounds, dollars, yen or credits and get this game without delay !!
I recommend this game!

I had fun with this game, but..............................bought it at 12pm and finished it at 14.30........with a break for lunch too !!!!
played on casual as there were only two options...started on difficult............but that was too difficult, needs a third option between these two, as i hate sparkles but still like a hint or two now and again!! the difficult choice gave you nothing at all.
As I said...fun game but mega short....also you had to be very specific when placing items................VERY abrupt end too.
worth a go if you can get it cheaply though.........I advise not to pay full price for such short time play

..........but I DID!!!! after the poor reviews I thought that I would see what such an appalling game was like, so I tried the demo.....played the full hour and got hooked !!!!!! I bought it as a deal of the day.....so double bonus !! I'll admit the objects in the HOS are small but thats what the magnifying glass is for people!!!! Unfortunately the game was completed in 2.5 hrs......so very short game indeed.
