Based on the demo : I love Eipix games and this one is no exception. This is the 3rd in the " Sea of Lies" series. Colors are bright, graphics are good. Great background noises and appropriate music. HOS are interesting and varied. They kept my interest and I am not a big fan of HOS after HOS. This game had an appropriate amount. Puzzles were moderately difficult for me but they were fun. You have glass globes to collect and the regular in-game achievements. Lots of action going on trying to evacuate a town where a disease is spreading rapidly. While I loved the game, I'd say wait for the SE, unless the bonus chapter is something to really write home about. The globes were not that difficult to find and the achievements are your standard achievements. I'd recommend the SE.
I recommend this game!

Very similar to Sally's Spa. Colors were wonderful. Tutorial was thorough. Old school style TM game... serve customers, upgrade shop, etc. Ran perfectly on my computer. This was a fun game. So nice to see a TM game that's not a building type game. Nice cheerful music. I recommend if you like TM games :)

You take your sister to the circus. She is used as an assistant to the magician and is kidnapped by him. You need to save her. The colors were way too bright for a scary themed game. They were the usual ERS graphics... slightly blurred, grainy. The HOS were interactive, visited more than once. You do get a camera, and you can take photos. These photos reveal more about the magician's life. The mini games were standard fare. I didn't notice the music. There is a map, but either mine didn't work correctly or it does not transport. There is also a journal where your photos are kept and other information. Very very easy game. I did like the previous Twilight Phenomena games because they leaned more toward adventure. This one does lean in that direction, but I just could not get into the story. There are no mouth movements with the VO's. I personally don't like that feature. From what other reviewers said, the collectibles are in the bonus chapter. I have seen none throughout the entire demo. This is a pass for me based on the fact that the story bored me to tears and it did not pass for spooky at all (when it should have).
I don't recommend this game.

This was a very different game than the usual fairy, elf, portal, save the princess, etc., type of game we usually get. Lots of adventure, little HOS and puzzles, which I like. Kudos to the developer and I must say I would definitely look forward to seeing what they release next. My only complaint.. too easy. Otherwise, I totally enjoyed the demo. Wouldn't quite call this a CE, but it was a great game.
I recommend this game!

We get so few of these bare-bones soft releases, and they are my favorite type of HO games. This one has a good story, good puzzles, and fairy decent HOS. It has the creep factor that I love in games. Graphics were good. No VO's but that was OK. This was a great playing, long game. No glitches or bugs. I would highly recommend.

Oh, I am definitely doing the happy dance with this game !!! The first Phantasmat is my all time favorite game. I liked the second one, and I absolutely love this one. The HOS are varied and fun. The puzzles were nothing new but I am not a big fan of puzzles, and I was able to complete these. The setting is perfect. I know many reviewers say the game was dark. I didn't notice that, however, the original Phantasmat was a very dark game. The inventory bar was annoying but I quickly learned to keep my distance from it. I loved the story line. I finished the demo with 23 minutes left to play. One thing however, is that I don't feel this is CE worthy. The eyes to collect are very hard to find and did not excite me. The achievements were of the normal game play variety. This has got to be the first game in eons that I absolutely love. Great job Eipix and ty BFG for offering it. I give it 5 out of 5 stars and recommend :)

I played the very very short demo. We have another story of wedding day trouble, portals, an evil one ruining the wedding day, etc etc. Graphics were very nice. HOS were OK. Some scenes were used more than once. Puzzles were same old same old. You do get a helper... wait for it.... TREE. Yes, a tree. This really was not my type of game. Maybe with a longer demo, I would have become more involved, but as is, I don't recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

I was very skeptical at first to even demo this game. I'm not a lover of fairy tale type games. However, I played the full demo and it really was pretty good. I was wondering why I do not have any of the other Love Chronicles games, until I found out they are fragmented HO games and I do not care for those. The HOS here were varied. The puzzles were different LOL. Kind of cheesy, but cute in their own way. The graphics were fairy tale bright, which I normally wouldn't like, but they suited this game fine. The game play was very easy. More for kids or beginners, or someone who doesn't want to venture out into the extreme cold we've been having. I'm not sure what is offered warrants a CE as I saw only morphing objects (actually I did not find ONE morphing object, but I read that they are there), and a few achievements. I would say try the demo for yourself. You may just like it.
I recommend this game!

Cartoon like graphics. Easy list HOS. Ridiculous puzzles. I wasn't liking the game at this point. Then came the time travel back and forth. Left me exhausted LOL. I felt the story was very disjointed, couldn't really follow what was happening. Gameplay was extremely linear. Not on my list, but do demo for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.

I have not played any other of the MCF games, so I cannot compare this to them. I found this story to be disjointed. The graphics were nice, nice choice of options in the menu. However, the large area, and the back and forth, back and forth, etc etc, drove me crazy. There is a map that will transport you if you so desire, but that takes the fun out of the whole game. I give this a pass. I couldn't wait for the demo to be over. The HOS were infantile. The puzzles were either too difficult for me to understand, or utterly ridiculous.
I don't recommend this game.
