Loved this game. Very unique story line. Game ran smoothly. Has been the first game in some time I really enjoyed. The game was long as was the bonus chapter. Win Win with the one !
I own all of the Rite of Passage games and enjoyed them all, until this one. Many reviewers said this is a creepy game. I'm not seeing the creep factor unless you consider a talking buffalo creepy. Using the amulet required you to play the same mini game over and over. Definitely not a fan of that. Also, could not play the bonus section, as I did not find all the morphs, but it wouldn't let me back in the game. I was so bored of this tedious game by the end, I was glad it was over. Hopefully the next one will be better and give the player ALL the bonus content.
I love TM games, but stopped purchasing any old TM that became available some time ago. This game is so disjointed. It's very cute and the characters are different, but really, it was pretty awful. I miss the days of Island Tribe and Ranch Rush.
This could have been a solid 4-5 star game. But, alas, those mini games. I cannot stand the tracing etc. required in these mini games. Automatic no buy for me.
Others have said all there is to say about the game. I refuse to spend money on such a ridiculously short game. If more people voiced that opinion, the developers would think twice before releasing such trash.
I love Time Management games, and realize there are very few of them presented on this site. However, I am done jumping on the buy button just because it is a Time Management game. The ones presented lately truly were lacking in so many way. This game is really a carbon copy of number 4, just not as good, and since number 4 was nothing to write home about, that's not saying much. This is a no buy for me.
Although this is not my usual type of genre I like, I do own all the other games in this series and have enjoyed them all. This one was a mess. I was so incredibly bored by the mundane tasks and the convoluted storyline, I didn't even play the bonus chapter. This game does not hold a candle to the others in this series. Very disappointing.

I love the Dark Romance games. This was no exception. You don't have to think much to play this series. Extremely linear games. I love going back and forth between the two characters. D.G. has become one of my favorite developers. There are lots of collectibles in the CE. IMO the bonus chapter was very short and not too enjoyable. If you're looking for a relaxing game that is fun and interesting, this is a good choice. Some voices were fairly annoying, but it is a fairy tale game.

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 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.
