I really enjoyed the first two games in this series. And I typically like MH games. Hard to put my finger on why this one missed the mark. First off, the game was short. Very short. This aggravates me. Especially for a typical HOPA game. Also, the game was easy. Ridiculously easy. The story line was sort of odd, but I really don't rate games based on if the story was believable or not. It's a game. The game play was smooth without glitches. Puzzles were on the easy side and I'm not a big puzzle person. I was bored while playing this. Maybe its a good thing that it was short. I was disappointed since I had high hopes for this series. Hoping if another comes out they improve the fright factor. I would recommend the SE as the CE is nothing to write home about.
I don't recommend this game.
It's more than your average survival show...

I liked this game. It had a lot of original concepts included in it such as the hidden object puzzles and mini games. I really don't play a game to review it in detail. Others have done that well. I played the CE and enjoyed both the bonus chapter and little hidden object adder. Yes the story might be a bit far fetched, but aren't they all? Colors, sound, and game play were all great.
I recommend this game!

I don't write reviews very often, but just had to with this game. I love the original Phantasmat and know that it cannot be duplicated. This game, however, was one of the worst games I've ever played. It felt disjointed. Almost like it was put together by 6 different teams of people. I found the HOS to be piles of junk. Puzzles were mediocre at best. I just finished the SE and am literally sitting here smh. I love a good game and sometimes the story is one that has done before and that is ok by me. The storyline here is so weak it barely makes sense. I've liked the other Phantasmats more or less that have come out since the original. This one however, is awful.
I don't recommend this game.

I have all the games in this series and liked them all. This one is downright awful. It has a story line that is all over the place. I usually love games from this developer. I'm sorry I bought this game, no less the collectors edition. I don't ever leave a game unplayed, so I'm struggling to finish it but at this point could not care at all about the ending. Very disappointed.

The entire game, what I played of it anyway, was a mess. This has a feel of a game from 10 years ago. Everything about it was poor... the tutorial, the graphics, the music, the gameplay, the mechanics of the game. Took 5 minutes for the game to adjust to widescreen. Blehhh, I don't recommend this mess at all. BFG should be embarrassed to even offer this game.
I recommend this game!

I do like the previous Whispered Secrets games, and this one is no exception. For a CE, there are quite a few extras. Collectibles, achievements, the assorted wallpaper, etc., and 2 bonus chapters. You do get a furry helper, but he is very unobtrusive. What always catches my eye in a game is the story line and this has a good one. I did think the game was much too easy, but a good story can't be beat. I do recommend you demo and see how you like it. I recommend it :)
I recommend this game!

I had bought this game at another site ages ago. I am a huge "Emily" fan. However, for some reason, this one is the least favorite of the series. I'm not quite sure why. All the standard Emily elements are there... cooking, serving the customers, her crazy family , finding the mouse, etc. The graphics are great. Sound and music are wonderful. If you like the previous or newer Emily games, give this one a try. It is a TM game, but has a good backstory and is not a click fest. I recommend this game.

So this is a FTP game. I play a few free to play games, and have never once spent a dime of my own money. I suppose that's because I play games in short intervals, so waiting for more lives or energy doesn't bother me. This game... you are in school to become a Greek god. There are tasks to be done. The visuals are great, and no tech problems. There's a big cuteness factor going on and it is amusing. Good game to pop into for 15 minutes or so. I found it fun and entertaining. I do recommend you give it a try :)

I must admit, I do not own one Dark Parables game. I am not a fan at all of FROGS, and all the Parable games are FROGS. I gave this one a try, however, and whilst I will not give a game a bad review for the type of HOS they use, I must say this game was a mess. Find a key here, unlock this. Find another key, unlock that. Then keep throwing in the HOS. Somewhere the story got totally lost. I do like the look of the game much better with Eipix as the developer. The old ones were so over the top shiny, that it was ridiculous. I suppose if one loves this series of games, and loves FROG after FROG and key after key, this would be a delightful game. I prefer a story I can become immersed in and a game that requires thinking things through. I do not recommend this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I usually like games by this developer, but didn't care for this one at all. I give the developers credit for bringing something a bit different to the table, but I didn't feel the game was different in a good way. Way too many puzzles for my liking. Even the HOS were puzzles The daughter is drowning and the dad goes off to solve.... a puzzle I didn't have any tech issues, so that's a plus. I just felt the entire game was random and disjointed. It hopped from here to there without any real story. I love idea of the fears, but not the way it was presented in this game. Also, really didn't see anything that would make it a good CE purchase. Also, the game was super easy even on difficult mode. Too easy.
I don't recommend this game.
