This is a beautifully developed and great game next to what has been offered up lately. I beta tested it and gave it 5 stars then. The American Indian setting is great (at least it's not another haunted run down building). Some of you don't like the cutesy games but I enjoy them. I love the artwork and gorgeous scenery. This game is fun to play and you have several choices in playing. I love that it has a transport map. It has an amulet to get rid of glowing signs, binoculars to see far off, collectables, and achievements. 1 thing i did not know til the end of the game is that each HOS has a "gold hand" you have to look for & collect as well..But what's not to like? Some of the new games don't even have full-screen.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game and purchased the CE on sale. After finishing the bonus game, I would say that you can wait for the SE - unless like me you were so drawn into the story and game play that it was worth buying for early game play. The main story is a decent length 5 hours or so and story resolves satisfactorily that extended story isn't required. There aren't any achievements, collectibles or morphing objects. The story, scenes, music, voice overs are really well done.

This one has excellent graphics, very clear and bright colors. Only a few dark places, but not too dark to see. Game play was excellent as well, no problems at all. I usually turn music down, but I liked this one. Glad I left it on. Music changed with each scene and mood, so was not boring at all. Voice overs were very well done, with emotion to match facial expressions and what was happening at the time. I liked that you could "click" through the dialogue, for those of us who read faster than they talk. There is a locking inventory bar, and a very nice jump map. Hint system is very helpful and filled quickly. HOGs were very well done. They switch between silhouette and standard. You can also change to a bubble shooting game! Each HOG has a riddle to solve at the end, which gives you an item that you will use within the game. The attention to detail was amazing, e.g. using a spoon to crack an egg. I liked the way an item is automatically removed when you "put the pieces together," rather than having to click on it again to remove it from the list. You also have a little dog, Bonnie, who is quite helpful in obtaining hard to reach items within a scene. She actually barks when you can use her. You also have a bow and arrow that is quite helpful, but it doesn't bark lol. There are the usual achievements, along with collecting 48 dog biscuits, which are easy to find, and 20 fairies, which are not as easy to find as you may think. Hope you enjoy the game as much as I did!
One of the better games I've played this year! I really liked the atmosphere of the under water setting and enjoyed how the mystery started gradually building as I was progressing. Lovely cinematics and characters! Great voice acting and the little turtle, robot and kittens were adorable!! :) Highly recommend!! Five stars! Why the low reviews from others is beyond me..pay no mind to the 1-2-3 star reviews..this game was really cool!!!
Promises to be the best Redemption Cemetery yet. It immediately grabs your attention with the first cut scene and it gets better from there. Find out the history of the freeze as you go back in time to save your ancestors (so you can be born). Collect snowflakes along the way. Nice spread out and colorful HOS, followed by a "put-it-together" puzzle with winter and Christmas themes. In your journey, you do have the help of your first ancestor who gave up the spirit world to be with his human love, starting your ancestry line. You also have the help of a feather which enlarges things (so that a simple scissors, for example, can become a garden shears and perform useful tasks). The animation and special effects are superb and the voice overs are professional and portray the reality of the situations (no flat tones here). This is a well-detailed and thought out game that is an immediate must-buy!!!
I like this witches' legacy continued series the best. It has everything that you expect to see in a CE. You collect puzzle pieces, morphing objects and there is enough adventure with beautiful graphics along the way. The background music is just right and not annoying. Again, you have a cute little imp that helps you and there's also a cute little imp that guides you as well. The developers have definitely improved on this series of which I have the previous ones and I'm not disappointed in this one. Good storyline and I always appreciate the choice between doing the HOS and the matching cards game. The mini games aren't too difficult but fun to play. Wished they had better screensavers & wallpapers to choose from..
The entire town has been put into a deep, dark sleep by a mysterious evil force. Now young Lillian must find allies and uncover the dark secrets of voodoo in order to save her master and free her friends before it is too late.

SUMMARY: Took 3 ½ hours to complete at a very casual pace and listening/reading all dialogue for cut scenes. A continuation was promised at the end. Basically, a HOG with a little adventure and a smattering of puzzles here and there. Fairly easy. Seems that much of the length is backtracking to get one item. Not as ambitious as the original Voodoo Whisperer, but still a nice quality game. • Lots and lots of HOS – fairly easy to find listed objects even though each of the scenes’ pallets consist of complementary colors. • Magnifying glass provided • Puzzles are the standard fare – matching pairs, rotation etc. • Collect and mix ingredients for the various voodoo dolls you must make to free various people • Lots of backtracking – frequently for one activity before you go back to where you began • Sudden unsatisfying ending – never find out what caused the curse over the town, but that’s probably in the sequel • 4 chapters. If you have the CE, the bonus chapter is in the middle of the game – so it isn’t very long. Each of the chapters has you doing the same type of thing (creating a potion or voodoo doll, but at different locations and with different ingredients). • Collect spells to create fire, move large/heavy objects, break things. • Hint tells you where to go or what to interact with. “Area Cleared/Completed” appears as appropriate.

I loved this game. You play a fashion designer who is having waking nightmares and seeing demons everywhere. The beginning of the game, you get to find items to create designs for a fashion show. Then after that it's all about fighting demons! It is fun that you get to make selections in the dialogue. An example: You listen to the advice of friends and see a shrink. This is where it is different: you get to select what you want to say: You can tell the truth, tell a lie or not say anything. The shrink responds according to your selection and she isn't much help, but eh, it's your first visit. She thinks that the traumatic death of your mom that left you an orphan has affected your dreams. Only now they are happening when you're awake too. You run into demons, who are disguised as humans, and when they are at your door, you discover there are others like you and that you are a Keeper as was your mom. This is a very involved game with lots of puzzle and game solving. Hidden object and fragmented object, placing objects HOS and mini games. Finding your way, discovering who you are, defeating demons and traveling through time. Very involved, incredible game. The music is creative, epic and the graphics are wonderful. This is a very interactive game, you use your Chakram (circular blade) to slice up ropes, knock things down and destroy demons. You have an array of potions to give you sight, strength and speed. It's like inserting yourself in a highly interactive adventure game. Very engaging game. This is one of the best games I have played lately and I love it. It has everything: Hidden Objects/Adventure/Arcade. I highly recommend this game.

I was so pleased when it ended! same thing over and over and not worth a CE game at all...the graphics were ok and the hint system works quickly but it didn't give any direction if you get lost, so thankfully the SG was there & it had to be used quite frequently!
I don't recommend this game.

This game has beautiful graphics, and a fair story. However, it is a good play. It is made up of both HOGs and FROGs (and there are alot of them) with some puzzles as well. All are doable. There is only one mode of play which is a bit of a letdown, but not a big deal. There is no map so you do have to run around ALOT..The game moves a good pace and makes for a nice rainy day game
