This time Vatican sent you to Spain where inquisition gone to the birds. At least not whole Inquisition but one particular inquisitor – Brother Augustine in the small isolated village called Portonero. It’s 13th century so it’s almost normal to be obsessed with witch hunts and burn any beautiful girl alive, but… just almost. You were sent there to stop him, but are you brave enough for this assignment! Augustine won’t just give up and he is a trained swordsman just as you are. Can you win the battle, or you will be killed or even burned as a warlock? Seek out the evil witch (wolf queen) Miguela and destroy her plans or discover more about her? Along the journey you meet a host of character's who ask you to complete several quest's, most notable is finding Diego, the son of Delores. Delores is the wife of the sheriff who is murdered by the insane Inquisitor at the beginning of your journey. The story really begins to draw you in when you reach this chapter of the journey. I found this edition not only enigmatical and a divine ride, but included more than enough stunning sublevels, encouraging sound and pleasing to the eye art scenes. Though Where Angels Cry 2: Tears of the Fallen is a pretty standard Adventure / Puzzle game, it includes lots of grand features that will hale your attention. The combiner feature of collecting several pieces to make up an inventory item was clever, even if it's been done before. I enjoyed this lengthy adventure and look forward to playing the 1st installment Where Angels Cry next...

Save the world of Kraixx, your visitor of an alien world, from destruction in Amaranthine Voyage: The Orb of Purity Collector’s Edition 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 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...

The tittle of this game kind of gives away the story of this hidden object puzzle adventure game. The story of Elizabeth Bethory is for courageous and brave ones. Like your little sister. She has always been interested with the unknown and mysterious. That's how she became an archeologist. This is also how she ended up in Slovakia exploring the castle of the countess Bethory. This is also how she began to be tortured by nightmares with a dark figure. This is also how she disappeared when you came to visit her. She has been really excited about her discoveries regarding the countess. Now it is up to you to get familiar with the story of the countess and her castle to rescue your own sister. The game challenges you to go to a paralle fantasy world where magic and rituals are part of the reality. You will visit a number of beautiful locations with that cozy atmosphere of small villages in the mountains. The game features great art and challenging tasks. You will have to search for many items hidden in the scenes and solve quite a few puzzles. Don't forget to collect all the coins on your journey. They will make it possible for you to purchase things that will be helpful for the puzzles and riddles, also collecting coins allows you to 'skip' if you become frustrated. I found the mechanics of the game clumsy at best, yet I enjoyed it. If you absolutely need a walk through, there is one on 'youtube'.
I recommend this game!

In this superb SE it's up to you to save a dozen children when they suddenly vanish from the once peaceful town of Kronville. Take on the role of a school psychologist Astrid Maisy. Guide her as she investigates these disappearances, and in doing so solve an evil plot involving an ancient artifact that can grant immortality. Uncover a shocking secret about Astrid's past that suggests her involvement in the case was no accident since her father, William Maisy "the archaeologist" discovered the artifact. Walk the razor's edge between fantasy and reality, and discover the truth! Your journey begins when you meet a young boy named Denny who has been traumatized by what he knows yet he is able to share some initial information to help you in the disappearance investigation. You return home after meeting Denny and fall asleep. You then enter a dream world which takes you thru the stories of Alice in Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, and The Snow Queen. This is a bizarre and fascinating adventure full of puzzles, HOS, and adventure play that took me almost 8 hours to figure out. Characters you encounter outside the dream are your father 'the archaeologist', Ed Gilmore 'Town Sheriff', and Stanley Gibbs 'the watchmaker'. Which of them is the villain lusting for immortality? Shifting between the dream world and being awake only helps you come closer to the truth. Don't let the low rating reviews keep you from at least playing the demo. Shortly after the demo the game really drags you into incredible gameplay. While the graphics could have been executed better it is still a compelling mystery worthy of a game credit. I really enjoyed it and Highly recommend this THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX adventure...

Sometimes the usual storm can change lives of many people, and that happened with guests of Hollow Oak Estate in Dark Canvas 3: A Murder Exposed Collector’s Edition! When you were driving to the estate, invited as the wedding photographer on the wedding of Carol Whittle and Frank Gelson to enlighten wedding ceremony, you saw how someone changed the sign into “Horror Oak”. Then the storm damaged communications and the whole wedding was left in the darkness, without connections with outer world – it’s year 1955 and no mobile phone has been invented yet. And when you see a shadowy figure outside the house, you understood that something is really wrong… face the danger for your life and life of everyone else in the house in this all-over-the-place Adventure Puzzle Hidden Object Game! The story begins to draw you in as soon as you find the body in the 'dumb waiter' of the house. Reviewer's have already touched on music "which I thought was okay" and the camera with which you photograph clue's for later use in the 'extras' section of the game. I was happy to use the map included in this edition because you travel all over that house gathering inventory clues, puzzles, and HOS to discover the killer. This may not be my favorite edition of the Dark Canvas trilogy but it ranks! The bonus game is short but interesting. Demo this one, I think fans will appreciate this one, and if you haven't played previous ones this is a good place to begin.

This edition is an incredible improvement from Redemption Cemetery 6 The Island of The Lost launched back in March of 2015. Travel back in time and restore peace on the subway station which they decided to build instead of the Asylum’s cemetery in Redemption Cemetery 7: Clock of Fate from ERS Games Studios! You were rushing to the last train at West Park Subway Station, which was going to arrive in 3 minutes, when you heard a strange voice. It said “Let’s begin!” These words changed your life forever – in a blink of an eye you found yourself in year 1949, trapped onto the closed station! Station’s construction was frozen after workers had found the old cemetery of St. Peter’s Asylum, situated in place where a Subway Station is going to be. Ravaging graves workers initiated the wrath of the spirits. Five of the builders died in the result, one wasn’t found. Now personnel were evacuated and you’re all alone, surrounded by the ghosts of the madmen! Your destiny is to survive this endless underground night and change events or Death will claim your soul. I was extremely impressed with the Visuals, the Voice acting, and the brain bending strategy it took to complete this latest installment. So much detail and effort has gone into this release and I think fans of the series are going to appreciate Redemption Cemetery once again for the bone chilling cult classic it has become. I am a huge fan of the franchise and this exceeded my expectations. If you demo the game, chances are you'll end up purchasing. The storyline draws you in one cliff hanger after another!!!

Mystery Tales opens up with a well-made but not very exciting cut scene introducing the story that we are about to witness. In this edition it's up to you to save your poor sister Ellie in Mystery Tales: Alaskan Wild CE and SE editions. She was kidnapped by potential mother-in-law, Miss Abigail. During the family dinner Miss Abigail revealed her dark nature and used snowy magic to freeze you and her own son Daniel. Then she hypnotized Ellie and took her away to the place of power. All of this is happening in Alaska, so even without demonic deeds Ellie can just freeze to death! You and Daniel will have to save her, but first you will have to weaken the witch – Miss Abigail! To do so, you will have to break ancient totems and free animal spirits trapped inside. Gather forces of animal spirits and save Ellie before she will be sacrificed by Miss Abigail in this awesome Puzzle Adventure Hidden Object Game! While moving through blithe Mystery Tales: Alaskan Wild game from beginning to ending you will be tied to your chair. Excellent lip sync and graphics demonstrate what an incredible effort the developers worked to achieve in this exciting dramatic HOPA. The bonus game was really cool too but not enough to pay CE price. Hidden Object, Puzzle, Adventure principles of Mystery Tales 3: Alaskan Wild is hidden underneath colossal adventure. Players of any level will relish with this emotive and fast paced story.

I completed this outstanding adventure and I am proud to be a recruit of Hidden Expedition League of Preservation (H.E.L.P) This is a gorgeous and thrilling HOPA which you absolutely must experience. Outstanding Puzzles and HO's which are new to this genre. The bonus play is exciting and challenging as well. Which is why I chose the CE over the SE version. The graphics are stunning and the v/o acting was great. BRAVO!!!!

Your partner Jason was shot while searching for the priceless relic in Mystery Crusaders: Resurgence of the Templars Collector’s Edition Game and now you will have to continue his work despite the danger of repeating his tragic injury at the opening scene! Jason was looking for The Blue Veil, which was lost centuries ago. Collectors all over the world will pay any price to get this artifact, but when you found out, how desperately members of the Shadows organization are trying to get the Veil, you started to suspect that there’s something bigger than money... be suspicious! Unfortunately Shadows will try to kill you too! After being shot Jason asks you to meet Sir William Theraux who has valuable information about the blue veil but refuses to speak with you until you show him you don't have the neck tattoo secret assassins have. Once you clear yourself Sir William gives you basic directives only to be kidnapped before your very eyes. Your initial quest is to piece together the codex which contains the map to King Solomon's Treasure, but this is a tremendous task full of dangerous twists and subplots. Brain teasing puzzles and unique HOS demand plenty of thinking and strategy in this unique story. The graphics are good, the cut scenes are even better and I love the british accents. You must be careful, the Shadows organization is right behind you, waiting for you to make a mistake. Who can you trust? You'll need all your wits to decipher the clues and assemble the Sapphire Codex. The race is on for the legendary treasure in this thrilling hidden-object puzzle adventure game! Thank you Big Fish for launching this intriguing Adult themed winner. xox's
