I love the Paranormal Files series of games. I feel lucky I was able to get this game for free with a coupon or I would not be a happy fishy. Way too short and no way does this meet CE standards. Bonus chapter also was very short. This could have been a great game if length was added and more details. Instead it was rushed and started to come apart near the middle. I'm going back to playing my older games, where there was challenge involved and it kept me involved for a good period of time. If you like short games give it a try. I'm on the fence about recommending it as Rick wasn't in the game except for the first 5 or 10 minutes.

This, my friends, is a rare occurrence. A 2 star review for a Domini game. I love their games. Recently played the entire Labyrinth of the World series. Then this comes along. The characters are very unlikable. The HOS are so easy. Really. Not kidding, the objects are huge. The mini games are easy. Every task is a repeat from a previous game. The story was just barely held together. And that circle thing when you click on something was driving me mad. I liked the big red X's better. There isn't one positive thing I can say about this game except the clarity of the colors. The game for me lagged and was clunky. I'm in the middle of a game from 2011 and it plays better than this one did. I really liked this series. I'm hoping it's not the end of a great series. I don't recommend this unless you are a true beginner. As in, your first HOPA game. Even then, I'd think twice. I am in NO WAY seeing how this can get 5 stars. It baffles me.
I don't recommend this game.

Haunted Hotel was the only series I loved from Elephant Games. I was so sad to see this was the last one. Being that this was the last game of a very long stretching series of games, I would have hoped it would have been a knock out. Instead, it was horrendous. Looks like 20 people submitted parts of a story and they threw them all together and called it a game. Definitely not CE worthy. The bonus chapter was absolutely nonsensical. Very few collectables. No morphs. The story didn't make sense. I am literally ashamed for Elephant Games by selling this game. When you play every other game in the series, and they KNOW it's the finale, you'd think they'd do a service to their customers. I don't recommend it.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm almost done with the main game. It's been like watching paint dry. I have loved the other Living Legends game. This one isn't the same and clearly misses the mark. It is slow and tedious. It's very dark when it shouldn't be. I literally couldn't see many scenes. We have a brother and sister reuniting after some time apart and they are supposed to attend Neptune Day, but the very angry mermaids have other plans. Someone stole their sister and they are just out for revenge... turning everyone into salt statues. The brother disappears somewhere, then we meet Davy Jones and a sea witch and the story goes downhill from there. Very confusing as far as the plot goes. You get 4 items to find in each scene. Friendly Fox is never stingy with their collectibles. They are quite hard to see bc everything is so dark. Hoping the bonus chapter is at least good bc I'm pretty disappointed by this purchase. I don't recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

I just recently played this whole series. As with any series, some were great, some were just ok, and one was a dud. That was this game. Really vague storyline. No followthrough on who what when why. The 3 stars is because of the fact that the game was buggy. I had items in my inventory left over after the main game. It kept telling me "I can't see, I need to clear the smoke" and there was no smoke. There's no excuse for that. I do like this developer, but if you play their older games versus their newer games, you will see how the games they churn out are declining. I'm still not sure why the dragon was in the story. I think the writers just threw him in to say "Oh look, a dragon" "Our players love dragons" I really can't figure it out. Hopefully they can put a little quality control into the games they make and come out with an epic one.
I don't recommend this game.

I just completed the game, beginning to end. I'm not sure what happened to Domini, but somewhere along the line I think they were told to just churn out the games no matter what. I've played their older games and they were great. This game truly requires no thinking at all. Just run from task to task to task. Fairy Godmother is trying to help once again, however it sure takes her a long time to get things done. For a Fairy Godmother, she doesn't have much magic in her. She needs to charge her wand, but first you need to find the charging sparkles which truly showed up basically anywhere. The bonus chapter was more back and forth between the same 3 scenes. It was fairly long but I think I started dragging going back and forth. Domini does put out some great HOS although the red X's aren't needed or wanted. Some mini games I did, some I skipped. I'm not a puzzle person. I do give credit for the crisp clean graphics and if you are looking for something very light to play, grab this one. I'm running out of developers to keep my eye on for new games. Elephant sunk with their lack of length of games and the cutting out of things that should be in CE's. I'm relying on Grandma to come out with something new or for Big Fish to give the small developers a chance.
I recommend this game!

Funny this game was released bc I had just played the entire series. I will say the earlier games were much more challenging and interesting and made you think a little bit. This one is Domini's new no brainer type of game. Nothing wrong with that at all. I need one of these every now and then. The HOS were fun. I didn't care for the puzzles, but I never do. These just seemed to be lacking instructions for us non-puzzlers. The story line was good, sort of fantasy and reality blended. Lots of the usual collectibles and a pretty long game. Not as long as Domini usually puts out but took me some time to finish. The bonus chapter was short. I hope they continue this series as I really enjoy it.
I recommend this game!

For Domini, this was a short game. They usually put out pretty long games. Not in this case. I liked the game. I had no issues tech wise. I could have done without the big red X's but they weren't that annoying. Not sure why people are saying there are non-sensical tasks. All the HOPA have them. Lots of collectibles, morphs and coins to find. Story was interesting. It kept me entertained and I have a very short attention span so that's a plus for this game. You do get the choice between a HOS or a match 3. As per norm, Domini offers 9 gazillion achievements. Makes me feel good since I never can do the puzzles. At least with Domini games I get a bunch of other achievements :) I recommend.
I recommend this game!

I love this series of games, thus was excited to see a new one. I am over an hour into the game and I am soooo confused. I started out going to a wedding, ended up in a forest, then ended up speaking to a talking tree. I thought Uwe was getting married, but no. He's dead. I may have to restart this from the beginning because I am so lost it's senseless to keep playing. The HOS are small and dark. The whole game is on the darkish side. I haven't encountered many puzzles yet, thank goodness. I'll finish this after beginning again eventually and comment on the SE version. As for now, this is only getting 3 stars because grandma put a lot of work into the game.
I don't recommend this game.

Review after review I see people saying "same old same old, or such and such game is like all others, etc". Well Mystery Trackers changed things up a bit and I think it's a great idea. There are a plethora of MT games that basically are all the same. Here we get a new cast of characters and it works for me. Yes, poor Elf is gone but change is not always a bad thing. My rating is low since this in no way, shape, or form should be a CE. It's short and lacks any extras to find except for a few. I'm not a fan of Elephant games. They have been cranking out the games and short changing us customers for a while now. Overall the story is just OK. It seems like a game they slapped together just to release a new game. The only reason it's getting 3 stars is because they stepped out and made changes or it would be a 1 star game.
I recommend this game!
