I'm not quite sure how to rate this game. Kudos to the employees for churning out a game in such difficult times in the Ukraine. This series has always been hit or miss with me. This one was a miss. I felt confused from the beginning. There were gaps in the story that were never filled in. Even in all the confession notes (ok, who does that?) left lying around. I was not a fan of the HOS or the puzzles. I have always liked the style of Grandma games with their collectibles and jigsaw pieces. It was just OK for me. At least it was NOT another Domini game. For that I'll celebrate !! I'd recommend the game after you try it out. It was very short and really didn't have a great ending.
I recommend this game!

Well we have another short Elephant game. Very short. So short that you'd better pay attention carefully before it's over. I did not like the graphics at all. The HOS were ridiculously easy as were the mini games. The story line was absurd and disjointed. The bonus game was about gnomes... I think. It made no sense to me. I would NOT recommend this game. Elephant... you should be ashamed putting out games of this standard. Personally, I'd be embarrassed.
I don't recommend this game.

I've been playing all of the Grim Tales games from the beginning, back when they were very creative and amazing. This one was absolutely awful. It was short and very difficult to follow bc it really didn't make sense at all. Lots of busy work for no reason with very little story. The bonus chapter was better than the main game. My oh my how the Elephant has fallen. I do not recommend this game.

Another week, another "New Series" by Domini with one reviewer praising them as if this game is any different than the last 20 they put out. No, we have the same menial tasks, the same bad characters, the same awful storyline, the same smoke we must dissipate, quickly ! Also the same collectibles, the same ridiculously easy gameplay, the non-existent storyline. Does even one person at Domini read these reviews? I refuse to give this game more than one star although I know work goes into making these. It's sub-par and childish and one star is what it deserves. The one star is for the graphics which are always good. The rest of the game is a boring mess and shall be treated that way. I do NOT recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

It is SO nice to see a game by Friendly Fox. The consistently come out with games that are original and fun to play. I love the morphs and collectibles in their games. This one is a straight up fair tale, usually not forte, and it is great. The HOS are original. I love the puzzles. Different and very doable. There are so many likable characters and places to explore. I was so happy this was not another Domini offering. This has been a great series with another great game added to it. Enjoy.
I recommend this game!

Wow, what a great game. If Elephant was capable of making a game like this back then, why aren't they capable of it now? I absolutely love this series Ithe older games). Very long and challenging. Some of the HOS were hard to see but that was just how it was back then. I'd take this over 20 new releases by Domini anyday. Highly recommend.
I recommend this game!

Well surprise. Another "new" series from Domini. This makes about 10 new series the last couple of months. The thing is, if you play any of them, they are all the same with just slightly different plots (if you can call it that). I'm convinced Sunnyglow is getting a kickback from Domini for the loving 5 star reviews of their games. I was just reading one reviewers ratings of games from now all the way back to the beginning. Went from Wow great game in the past to another awful game by BF. I couldn't agree more. I cannot tell you when I last played a new game that was decent. What happened to Domini of the past? Their games were good. Then they all took on the same exact format with the same format for collectibles and the same format for finding items, leaving out any real story. A child could play this game easily. I am currently playing a very old game from 2011 and wow. What a difference. In a great way. Are those games gone for good? Are we stuck with new series from Domini? Good thing I have a ton of unplayed old games in my game manager because I simply cannot handle this disperse the smoke, make a key, after 2 or 3 scenes we need to close that area so you don't have more than 5 things in your inventory to confuse you. I am not 5 years old. I can think. I love a good game. This one is not it.
I don't recommend this game.

For once, just once, I'd love to see a game by Domini that's different than the ones they've released in the last 4 years. It's not this one. I think they have a template and they insert new characters and a couple new bits to a story. This is the same old same old. Easy as pie. No challenge. Ridiculous story which you really don't know is a story bc you are fanning the smoke out of the room. This is eerily similar to Spirit Legends and every other series they/ve come up with of late. I hate giving one star but that's what they deserve. Not sure how on God's green earth this is a 5 star game. The bar must be very low. Same collectibles, same mechanics, same awful voices. Just dig out one you have a replay it. It'll be the same as this one.
I don't recommend this game.

The Queen's Tales series was only 2 games long, but this was a fantastic game. It is from 2015 and it truly was a pleasure to play. It was a nice long game and collectibles and morphs and lots of add ons at the end of the game such as a puzzle and other things. I truly wish the games of today could be like these were. Everything about this game was done with love and with pleasing the player in mind. If you haven't played it yet, give it a try. It's very good.
The tenacious trio takes on a master of the occult!

Who is this Editor who is choosing and I'd love to see a review from them on why this game is an Editor's Choice. This had to be , if not the worst, one of the worst games I played. I only played the trial but judging from the guide, I probably completed most of the game. I had freezing issues, plus confusion as to when where and why things were the way they were. This is slop thrown at us. It is a slap in the face to the gamers who supported Elephant and bought their games. This series hasn't been good to begin with but this one takes the cake for the worst. Elephant should be ashamed to have their name on the credits. Enough said. I don't recommend.
I don't recommend this game.
