My Review is based on the Demo only (Although I did purchase the game immediately after playing the Demo)
After being disappointed with the "Halloween Stories:Horror Movie" that just came out, I was pleasantly surprised with the "Haunted Manor: Remembrance" demo. While the Puzzles and HOs are a tad on the easy side, they are more creative then the usual, run of the mill ones we've been getting lately. The majority of the story line appears to be the house's effect on the occupants and their descent into madness. (and yes, our household are die hard fans of the "Shining")
While this at not be for everyone, try the demo for yourself, you might be surprised.

My Review is based on the demo only.
Super easy game, very little (if any) Challenge. The puzzles, HOs terribly simplistic, the type geared to a young child (although I would question the game,s content for a younger child)
If I were to purchase the game, it would have to be at a super great sale price, only to be played if I needed something that required little attention or thinking involved.

Such a sad demise to what could have been a great series.
The original game in this series, "Royal Detective: Lord of Statues CE", is still one of my all time favourites. The second in the series, "Royal Detective: Queen of Shadows CE" while lacking, was still an OK game.
The third insatllment "Royal Detective: The Princess Returns CE" fails miserably. The only entertaining feature, for me, was the Dog "helper" (I know there are others, who find the "helpers" annoying).
Perhaps, because I found Princess's voice so irrating, the game was doomed from the very beginning. It was good to see that the Stone Figures were still featured in the game, although, perhaps they should have been featured as the main characters, as having the storyline develop around them may have saved the series!
If I ever decide to purchase this at all (to complete my series) it will have to be on a really good sale.
I don't recommend this game.
The contract must be fulfilled, but your girlfriend will pay the price!

When the Cadenza Series first premiered, I had really high hopes that it would continue to be developed into an outstanding series. I loved the jazz, the location, the storyline and the characters. Sadly, this hasn't happened as I absolutely hated Cadenza: Fame, Theft and Murder.
While The Eternal Dance is somwewhat better, I finished the entire demo in 20 minutes. Super easy puzzles and HOs and the collectables were so large and in your face, that I could find them without my glasses on!
If I decide to purchase, it's ll be during a really good sale!

I have loved the Cadenza Series from the beginning. I was really excited to see another. Purchased this the day it came out without trying the Demo. Huge Mistake.
Long story short, life got in the way and never got played. Sat down tonight to play, only to be met with a huge disappointment.
My beloved Cadenza is no more. The music, the story, the game play that was so outstanding is completely non-existent.

First, I have to admit this is one of my Favourite series. That said, this review is based on the Demo.
Great fun, Love the mix of tasks to complete, not just the standard, ho-hum, HOs one after another. While I'm disappointed that the game isn't what I would call "overly challenging", it's still enjoyable.
Everyone has their own likes and dislikes...Play the Demo -decide if this is for you. Will definitely be a buy for me when some extra money is available.
I recommend this game!
The arts-loving town of Everton has been overrun by sentient shadows. Race to escape before you're trapped in the darkness forever!

I actually beta tested this game Sept 29 2015. Wasn't impressed then, certainly not impressed now. Wondering why a game would be sent to as a beta test and then released just a couple of days later.
Be sure to play the Demo before Purchasing!

Less challenging then some games, but still enjoyable. Give it a try for yourself. NOTE: when I purchase this it was called Danse Macabre: Moulin Rouge.
I recommend this game!

This review is based on the demo. While I enjoyed the demo, I was somewhat surprised how little challenge the puzzles I encountered presented. Puzzles are usually my nemesis but I marched right through every one, so far. Actually, the entire game up to this point hasn't held nearly the challenge factor for me as the previous ones of this series. Haven't even looked at the strategy guide.
Also, as yet, appears to be extremely light in the extras for a CE. Being a fan of the Echos of the Past series I'll purchase this, just because I have CE of the others in the series. Otherwise,personally, I would wait for the SE on this one.
I recommend playing the Demo for yourself before purchasing CE.
I recommend this game!

Newest installment of the Maestro series. This review is based on the demo. Love the graphics, music, the little ferret and the storyline. The HOs are interactive but clear and easy so far as are the puzzles.
Everyone's taste are different so while I suggest playing the demo first, this is a definite buy for me!
I recommend this game!
