Great game
Good length ... took 5+ hrs
Nice graphics
Fun puzzles
Nice balance of puzzles & HO (Straight HO no extra steps)
Medium difficulty
Nice but predictable storyline
Another great game by Elephant!!

What was EIPIX thinking with this clunker!
TOO EASY! - you barely had to think to get to the next step of your investigation. A beginner might like this game but any seasoned player who gives this more than 3 stars is just being blinded by Eipix's past games that were GREAT. This one is not :(
PUZZLES had little to no challenge.
I NEVER had to use the skip or hint buttons...Not even once!!!!

MUSIC was great..... at first :P
STORY... Best part of the game but not good enough. I finished the game only because I BOUGHT IT and not because I WANTED TO.
So I plodded through this game HOPING it would improve. It was disappointing to the very end.

THE CE WAS A JOKE! (It had collectible Windmills that jumped right out at you in each scene! WAY TOO OBVIOUS)
Morphing objects were in the HO screnes so I would not even count those as an extra. No challenge there either. SO obvious!
Even as an SE I would wait to use an earned FREE GAME or wait until it is offered up for $2.99

I am usually blown away by EIPIX Collector's Edition games but this one was not really that impressive.
I felt that the extras were watered down
There was too much hand holding. The game was much too easy. It was obvious what you had to do next 95% of the time. There was not much of a challenge at all which made the game kind of boring for me.
The puzzles were contrite and overly simplified.
The music was great until it was heard over & over....
The story was pretty good but not good enough to make me "want" to finsh the game. I plodded on until the end because I felt I HAD to as I bought the CE.
Not impressed. Was really hoping this would be better than the last in the series....nope :(
I strongly suggest you buy the SE unless you are new to the HOPA genre.

Twisted storyline
Bold colorful graphics
This was one of those games I could not walk away from and had to play it to the very end!!
Fun HOS & Puzzles!
You would be INSANE not to buy this for a piddly $2.99!!!!

This is a DIFFERENT style MCF game which does NOT make it a "Bad" Game.
If you like cheesy B Horror flicks this game is for you! It has the bad acting and over the top characters. Kinda like the lesser known Bruce Campbell movies LOL!
Poor Lea Thompson? HECK NO! It was obvious she was having fun playing her role! Many actors branch out to video games to have a little fun while making a bit of extra cash!
This game was FUN and FUNNY with some scares!
The environments were creepy.
The graphics & sounds were fabulous
I LOVE games with Live Actors also
Finding the hidden objects was fun in what I can only call unconventional HO scenes. The adventure part of the game was also fun.
It was the story that I enjoyed the most. I really wanted to know what happened next!
I would give this game a 4.5 only because I didnt like the "cube puzzles" .... so I skipped a few. No biggie ;)
I am giving it 5 stars because I really did love it & also to bring the ratings up a little so people try it.
I had a blast!

This was a "cute" game.
Very Very short & very very simple.
The puzzles were insanely easy.
Graphics were colorful & nicely done.
I recommend this game to anyone 12 years old & under.

I played this a while back. I found it to be a lot of fun & a bit different from the other HOPA games.
It is on sale for $2.99 this week and you cannot go wrong for that price!!
ENJOY :)

I love HOPA & straight adventure games. This is a straight adventure game. However, it moves slowly and gives the player little guidance. I love a challenge but only when there is an awesome story. A good example is MYST...Loved it!
BASED ON COMPLETE GAME
The Aaron Crane game had a barely there story that did not keep my interest. It really was not that challenging and each area you went to you did the exact same thing. To make matters eve worse it had an abrupt & awful ending. There was not a CE for this so there really was no excuse for it.

Story - Barely there
Graphics - pretty good
Length - 3.5 hrs
Puzzles - easy to moderate
NO HOGS
No Map
No Journal
Movement was awkward as you had to hover the cursor around the sides of the screen to find out if there was another area to explore by making an annoying & often hard to see black arrow pop up. Problem is in this game the hot spot was pretty small in several scenes and hard to find even if you knew where it was!! UGH!.
Truly a bare bones game.

I like to rate things positive so I rarely do a negative review but this game requires it!
I will keep it short.
Storyline - next to non existent. Bland.
Puzzles: Repetitive & too easy.
Gameplay: TOO MUCH Back & forth. Especially at the end...UGH
Hints: Useless and did not work or help 75% of the time.
Graphics: Somewhere between UGH! & Meh!
Simply a poor game.

Search for clues, solve puzzles, and unlock new areas as you visit spooky locations, master mini-games and locate Hidden Objects!

Just a short quick review here. I bought this one at a discount price but would have happily paid the full price if I had know how much fun it would be. Fabulous HOPA!
The story was engaging and kept me glued to my seat. The puzzles were logical. The objects you find are used within a few screens so no tedious backtracking. The HOS were clear. The graphics were pretty. LOVED this one!
