What begins as an investigation of an unusual murder suddenly turns into something much more sinister in Chimeras 2: The Signs of Prophecy Standard Edition Game. The latest masterpiece of Elephant Games!!! [I love this developer] When an unexpected solar eclipse covers the streets of Munich with darkness, doom arrives and it looks like it isn’t going to end any time soon! You are called there to investigate the murder of Julia Mobius and find out, that she was killed in a desperate attempt to prevent a beast’s awakening. His name is Wanderer and he can destroy the entire city! Julia was one of four keepers of the prophecy concerning his arrival, and her murderer leaves a carving “Burn, traitor” near her burned body. According to the prophecy he has a great power. This power may be used towards creation or destruction, and YOU will inflict his choice. You are intertwined with the Wanderer by the thread of Fate, at least that’s what Prophecy foretold. There were four Keepers of the Prophecy - Julia Mobius, Sebastian Mayer, Walter Lucien and Max Langen. Maybe one of the other three killed Julia because she was trying to change fate? Put your mind to the test in this brain bender and find out why Julia betrayed the other prophecy keepers in this dramatic Adventure Puzzle Hidden Object! I found this story incredible, I just couldn't stop playing. Excellent graphics, voice overs, and perplexing puzzles and inventory use kept me going hours and hours. Demo this for yourself and decide. I think most will be really surprised by this continuing saga....

It was 1929 when a gruesome massacre occurred at Lexington Hotel in Maine. And now in 1979, you need to go rescue your Sister who got trapped in by the vengeful spirit of the hotel and unravel the dark secrets behind a horrific massacre! You arrive at the abandoned hotel where you discover a video camera and video tapes dropped behind by journalist Samantha. These tapes provide clues into what happened to Samantha and the camera prints photos which lead you further into the hotel. You soon discover the horrible secret of the place and the terrifying Nanny Adela. Clues lead you to room #313 where the terror really begins. Can you save your sister Samantha and solve what happened to this orphanage/hotel? The quest is terrifically terrifying full of twists and turns, slamming doors and creaking floors. The graphics and sound/SFX are amazing. Highly interactive and thought provoking. I gasped many times when the effects seem to jump out of my computer screen at me! This spine tingling adventure deserves Editor's choice. Fans of the series are sure to love all 6 chapters and the bonus game.
CE bling includes, Morphing objects, Orphan photos to collect, collectible petals by clicking on the blood x's, and more.

I am totally impressed with how fantastic and realistic this adventure played out. I believe this is the best HOPA Bigfish has offered this year thus far. You are summoned once again to the Lost Lands by the powerful mage named Maaron, member of the ancient Order of The Keepers, who protects the Forgotten Lands. You play the role of Susan and for her only a few weeks had passed since her previous visit but in The Lost Lands everything changed dramatically. According to Maaron and Elder of the Druids, many decades passed since her last visit, when four horsemen were defeated. And now an ancient curse is activated and stone demon statues begin coming to life in the abandoned old fort, known as the Castle of Madness! Fans of this series will enjoy hours if not days of gameplay in order to save the day in this latest installment. Developers have gone to great lengths to create this incredible life-like adventure story. I think this game sets a new bar of excellence in the genre. More adventure than HOP but so engaging that I didn't want to break away for even a moment. I eventually had to after 10 hours. Take your time and enjoy every moment. You don't want to miss any detail in this Colossal Collector's Edition. Thank you Big Fish and development team! XoX

Wow! This conclusion to the epic Eipix series Off The Record deserves a thundering round of applause. The Final Interview proves to be the greatest scam in the history of Horse Racing.

When you learn that a kidnapping has taken place the race against the clock begins and the plot thickens. Find out how Calvin Reedley really acquired his wealth and why he divorced the mother of his only child Sarah. Who's been trying to poison Mr. Reedley and why? You encounter a host of eccentric characters all potential suspects. Someone's going to pay for all this...and it's up to you to discover who...
This series has had an incredible run and I highly recommend all the installments. Eipix and Big Fish will continue 'Creating Worlds' as the saying goes, I look forward to their next endeavor with anticipation!

Save the parents of your niece Jackie who died 20 years ago in Grim Tales 9: Threads of Destiny PC Game! Alexander and Natalia Gray went missing on April 23, about 20 years ago now. They’re survived by their daughter, Jackie. The story begins at the police station where you learn that the Gray’s car was found in the woods close to town. Now only remains were found and using their personal belongings you can travel back in time and save them from the Greg Duffy, a serial killer known also as the Roadside Killer. You can save them, but what if their death is connected with their miraculous escape of death year before, when they missed the exploded plane by seconds. Maybe Duffy is connected with that catastrophe, or there’s something even more sinister? FATE played by the ghostly woman ATROPOS tries every trick in the book to stop your mission and defeating her is yet another exciting challenge. This is the 9th installment of Grim Tales series from Elephant Games, where your objective is to find and identify the murderer of the Grays traveling back in time to change life threatening events. This is a great edition to the Grim Tales Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure series. The adventure isn't very lengthy. I finished the main game and bonus chapter in less than 3 hours, usually this series offers 6-8 hours of gameplay. Never the less it is a complex murder mystery and with the addition of collection character coins you get info on all the Gray family members going all the way back to the first installment of the franchise. I will continue to purchase into this series as long as Big Fish and Elephant continue releasing them!

The secret to live forever is something that people have been searching for since they began dying. Haunted Legends: The Secret of Life Collector's Edition is claiming that it is found! We'll see if that is really true and also what it takes to get it, since you must answer questions that produce different outcomes. The game is all dark and creepy. It seems that it would be perfect for Halloween, but it is still great even a bit later. It's 1885 and the main character tells you about how he became ill and seems to have found the secret cure, the secret of life in this dark and haunted house. There is a purifying ritual that is about to take place for the healers to obtain their reward, the secet of life. 5 previous healers have tried to perform the ritual and died. Now it's up to you to complete the ritual, but you soon learn that the people behind it might not have your best interest in mind. The plot is entwined around three main characters Meril, Gavin, and Lisa. When you learn that the elders found a dead body only a week prior to you arriving things really get good. You actually get to enter the famous house that is in all the games and descend to its depths. Other reviews have given every single aspect of CE bling there is so I don't have to. I love this series and ERS has released another great edition for fans to enjoy!

Do anything it takes to save your daughter Lisa, grabbed by the dark force and thrown through the magical mirror to another dimension in Contract with the Devil Game for PC!
Before the events of Contract with the Devil Final PC Game you had a perfect life. Sonya [You] and your daughter Lisa were living together in harmony. One day she was gone to visit her newly found friend John she was highly liked, when you received strange letter. It was handwritten and saying that John knows something important about your daughter. You didn’t hesitate and come to the John’s mansion. But there you saw terrifying picture that you will always remember – John asked Lisa to look at the antique mirror, but after throwing back the blanket that covered it, madness had started. Darkness came to the room through the mirror and grabbed Lisa! This dark mist had taken her inside the mirror and then mirror closed! Your attempts to open it were non-effective, and during this entire craziness mansion owner John also disappeared somehow. Now you are on your own inside his empty mansion, possessed by the darkness. You couldn’t even call to police: they wouldn’t believe you and just put yourself in prison for breaking into someone’s house. And for the other part of your story you may even go to the mental hospital. NOW YOU BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND, that to save Lisa you will have to travel through the mirror after her. But firstly you will have to open that mirror. It’s closed, but there’s a key you saw before! Unfortunately, someone took the key and run away with it! And when you set the trap on this funny greedy someone, you suddenly befriended with him! It was supernatural Boggart Brown who speaks a strange language, living in the mansion, Sonya [you] somehow understands and he decides to help you in searches of Lisa! His help will be priceless, his abilities are very powerful, so there’s still hope for your daughter. But solving riddles you couldn’t stop to think: where’s John, what’s he planning? Maybe he made a contract with the Devil, giving young precious souls to him in exchange of power and health? You are going to find this out in this unusual point-and-click adventure! Once I started to play I couldn't stop which is always a big factor when I play these games. Demo the game and enjoy this awesome adventure...

I Know a Tale is an intriguing hidden object game that aims to provide players of all levels with a classical experience rather than following the trends of most modern games of the genre. It’s an overall really well designed game and does an excellent job of showing all its players what makes this hidden object games so great. When you start the game off for the first time, you’ll be shown a beautiful cinematic that’s amazing to look at but is mainly there to give you a bit of detail regarding the plot of the game. After this intro, the gameplay will start and you’ll be asked whether you’d like to go through an interactive tutorial. The tutorial, like most tutorial sequences nowadays, is pretty well-built and does an excellent job of explaining all it needs to without taking up too much time so it’s pretty spot-on. The plot of the game is based off a mysterious happening that has occurred within the town that’s left people puzzled. Two people walk into a store to try and rob it but shortly afterwards they end up petrified and the shopkeeper is seen fleeing the scene while nailing the basement down to prevent anyone else from accessing it. You play the role of the town’s sheriff and must figure out how such an incident occurred and bring whoever caused it to justice. Not a simple task! The gameplay of I Know a Tale, as mentioned before, is based around the concepts of traditional hidden object games rather than modern ones and this coupled with its near perfect execution makes for a really enjoyable experience. The hidden object scenes are mostly the list based kinds and they have really good object placement to make them quite challenging while remaining fair, there are many of these scenes in the game and pretty much every single one is designed brilliantly which is a really impressive. The Puzzle sequences, while they might not feel like the traditional kind, have their own charms because they’re rather complex but ultimately really satisfying to solve as the f open up a significant portion of the game world for you to explore and make further progress in. Overall there aren’t any technical issues either so the game feels extremely smooth and a delight to play. In terms of visuals, the art-style of I Know a Tale is pretty traditional as it follows a rather dark color scheme and has a similarly dark setting. This isn’t to say that it looks bad however because this setting looks pretty amazing thanks to all the detail that’s been put into it ranging from dynamic elements in the environments to the high quality textures that you see everywhere. Cut-scenes are a massive plus point for this game because rarely, if ever, can a cut-scene deliver the cinematic experience that the ones here can. I would love to see more Standard Editions that are this well made. Kudos to Big Fish and these fine developers!!!

Save the world of Kraixx, your visitor of an alien world, from destruction in Amaranthine Voyage: The Orb of Purity Game, the latest creation of Eipix Entertainment! Kraixx opened a portal to CCPP’s laboratory, being already wounded. He’s followed by the Watchers, a notorious organization, pursuing aliens with supernatural abilities. Kraixx tried to save their world, but the Watchers didn’t care about it and they're planning to put him in prison for the rest of his life. Now you must protect Kraixx, travel to that world and finish work of your new friend, protecting that world from the wrath of dark harmonium! It's up to Eve "you" to purify an alien world and restore balance of the harmonium in the universe in this wonderful Adventure Puzzle Hidden Object! Along your journey you encounter Professor Bennett "from The obsidian Book edition" Kraixx, Chief Orik, and a woman warrior Enel. Who among them is the villain? Armed with a Gauntlet which absorbs good Harmonium and dispels evil Harmonium. A cloaking device which you must repair in order to use and lots of strategy. Only you can restore balance between energies granting the planet Medea a second chance and save Earth too. This edition offers gorgeous graphics, excellent voice acting, and lengthy game play 4-5 hours). The bonus game in the CE version is connected to the main story which I like. Eipix probably doesn't need to continue this series of it's franchise, I think it has plateaued...

Okay Master Detective. This is an urgent field report. New developments, seemingly unrelated, require your immediate attention...
1. A drastic increase in the number of ships that have disappeared in the seas of northwestern England has been recorded in the past couple of months. The Coast Guard is beyond puzzled.
2. The Ravenhearst Estate has been purchased by an unknown buyer. This information alone is a cause for concern, yet I fear there is more. Large scale construction works have begun almost immediately! To what end… I cannot say! Her Majesty the Queen has authorized me to seek your help and assistance. Your vast knowledge of the area is required. We need you here, in the field.
-Special agent C. Barker.
This was an instabuy for me; paid full price without blinking. I am one of those fans who has unanswered Ravenhearst questions after playing the previous editions. The level of difficulty may not live up to Escape Ravenhearst, but this edition is a mind bending experience with incredible graphics, sinister sound/SFX, and perplexing puzzles. Charles Dalimar has more in store for you than ever, but I won't include [SPOILERS]. This cult classic is destined to be a fan favorite, it's exciting to see this series continue. Bravo Big Fish and Eipix.
