This is an extraordinary fantasy adventure that was a blast to experience. This is the first time I have given 5 stars to an adventure in this genre. The story is wonderful, even if saving your sister is a repeat theme. There's much more in store beyond "demo" play. I thought this game would be somewhat juvenile...but that wasn't the case. I kept thinking that 30 years ago, I would have jumped thru fiery hoops to play something this awesome. Excellent voice, great action, beautiful graphics, and a teleport map. I chose the CE version but SE version is worthy for using a game credit. A thousand thank you's Bigfish!
I recommend this game!

Travel to India, full of incredible stories to tell in Tibetan Quest: Beyond the World's End! As Aunt Pearson You will come there not like a tourist – one of your family members needs your help! Your niece Larisa started to work at India few years ago and she was so excited about its culture! About a month ago Larisa and her team were sent to the mountains of Tibet to provide some excavations. And now she’s gone missing, at least that’s what was written in the letter you received. So the time has come to prove that you care about your family and head to India, to the border of legendary Shangri-La, where excavations were started! You will have to save Larisa no matter what in this click and point Adventure Puzzle Hidden Object! Some of the Puzzles were quite difficult for me. The graphics of Tibetan Quest: The World's End is very bright and remarkable, it will bring needed aura together with the high-quality note. Beyond the World's End is gripping casual Puzzle / Adventure game with captivating colorful videosequence, harmonic sound design and zingy nimble setup suited for players of all ages and skill levels (from jeep to experienced). This sleeper has a few recital twists and also additional secret bounties and game levels, full of eye-catching issues. One narration twist of the adventure game is that it randomly morphs into another as you move across a whole lot of various fun placements. The bonus play allows you to continue your journey for Larisa, otherwise your left with a feeling that you played for 6 hours without truly finishing the game. I loved it!
I recommend this game!

As the storm rages on through the gloomy night, a wayward traveler gets lost in the forest wilderness of the American northeast and stumbles upon a seemingly deserted town of Oakville.A home of the three industrious American families, the small area appears to be the momentary safe haven for the reasons which could hardly be described as natural – the rampant storm is the weakest within the town limits.Tucked away in the small valley and concealed from sight behind the faint mists of the placid mountain lake, the panorama of the prosperous community serves as a façade for a terrifying secret that involves all the residents but can be traced back to one mysterious figure – Mr. Nightingale. The shadows are closing in. Solve the secret and leave the town before the time runs out and shed light on the sinister origins of Mr. Nightingale, the eponymous dread of Oakville!!! This series continues with the 4th installment in the franchise and I loved it...

This is the 6th installment of the Witches' Legacy Franchise. In this edition you play the role of Edward "Lynn's husband". I was thrilled with the reversal since I am male and tire of always being in the feminine character. This time Evil Morgana curses Lynn and her mother Carrie and you have to save Lynn from the other side and cleanse the world of evil. Not an easy task in the least. Appearances made by some of your favorites, both friend and foe include....
*Imp "who helps you 14 times"
*Wolfgang
*Elizabeth "Wolfgang's sister who was changed to a witch in one of the first installments"
*Mathias the Evil Warlock
*Thetis Evil Witch
*Morgana Queen Witch
The gameplay is incredible with awesome graphics, and excellent sound/SFX.The back story of the series is revealed nicely as you go, so even if you haven't played any of the previous games, you don't feel like you're missing anything too important. I have all 6 of these releases, someday I will binge play all of them. This one really exceeded my expectations and the bonus play and CE bling was more than average. Enjoy!

Play the role of Jacob and save your wife Helen from the evil villain Froid, in the Insane Cold. This STANDARD EDITION deserves more than three stars. The graphics are similar to, if not better than some CE's I have played. The adventure is lengthy, I think I finished in about 7 hours. There are no vo's but that's okay the story doesn't need them; the written dialogue is sufficient. The objective is to locate Helen who has been kidnapped and save her from Froid, who is bent on returning Earth to the ice age period and ruling the world. You will need to save 17 frozen souls along your journey in order to activate the amulet you found in said antique shop before you can rescue Helen. This point-and-click adventure promises to deliver lots of ho's and brain bending puzzles. I really would love to see more from this developer. Casual gamer's should really enjoy this one...

Help Willa de Shakeston, maid of honor of Queen Elizabeth the First to survive series of misfortune in Spirit of Revenge: Elizabeth's Secret Collector's Edition. First of all her only pupil, Edward de Vere Essay, the only son of deceased Earl of Oxford, Queen’s friend was kidnapped in front of her. Willa has sworn to protect this child! Then when the Queen summoned her to the capital to receive answers and give a new assignment, a strange force attacks her carriage and starts a fire in front of it. Finally the Queen gives her a “helper”, young and impudent Francis (Drake)! With such helpers there’s no need to have enemies! He's an awesome side-kick. Take on the role of Willa to untangle the conspiracy no matter what in this classy Adventure Hidden Object Puzzle Game! The graphics aren't big budget, but the story and game play are!
It not only has startling quests and ritzy opportunities but also loads of thrilling sublevels and meeds. This edition will excite the player's imagination from the beginning to the finale and will bring pleasure into your subsistence! The bonus game is really well executed. I also recommend Spirit of Revenge: Cursed Castle.

Mystery Tales opens up with a well-made but not very exciting cutscene introducing the story that we are about to witness. Your sister lived with her husband, Emmett in a small town named Reghin until she died five years ago; Emmett ran away from the town and no one has heard about him since. One day, you received an invitation from Emmett; who apparently is back in town again to offer you a chance to meet your sister. When you arrived at the town, townsfolk are behaving strangely and Emmett seems to be blamed for the cause. Discover secrets about your brother-in-law as well as the supernatural forces that cause chaotic in the town. Despite this promising story, I found the pace of the game to be somewhat slow, also, cutscenes could have been more exciting, and more action. Nevertheless, the game redeems itself on the presentation side. The graphics are sharp and great looking even though they can be a little bit plain and dark on occasions. The voice overs and the soundtracks are also nicely done, fit the theme of the game smoothly. Moreover, I enjoyed the above-average challenges and the twists in the gameplay that Mystery Tales offers. The Hidden Object scenes come in two types with mode-switching feature; for the standard-list type, you can switch to Jigsaw mode while for the replacing-the-missing-items type, you can switch to Match 3 mode. This option is very fascinating and adds more variety to the gameplay. This game is not so heavy on HOGs but more on the adventure aspects and the puzzles. Luckily, both of these aspects of the game are also expertly crafted. The puzzles are nice and challenging with some totally new ones. The gameplay is not so straightforward or easy, there are many locations to visit and many tasks at hand. The map really comes in handy! There is also a dossier (journal) which is 35 pages long. For the Collector's Edition, Mystery Tales is filled with a bunch of cool extras. A collection of Achievements and three types of Collectibles; animals, coins and gems. Coins can be used to purchase new interface design for the game while gems can be used to revive the animals you collected in the zoo. Other extras are regular including a Free Search mode.
Mystery Tales: The Lost Hope is an enthralling game despite its considerably slow story. It might not be action-packed or heart-racing but it is certainly entertaining to play; with great graphics, fun puzzles and worthy bonuses.

From ERS games comes the best HOPA of 2015! The cult classic Grim Façade delivers another exciting case to solve! A masked vigilante calling himself the Avenger has the town of Coldstone in a death grip of fear, and you’re called in by the mayor to investigate. His wife Lisbeth has been kidnapped, and there’s a blacklist of potential targets for the Avenger’s wrath. Will you stop him before he strikes again, or will you be crossing another name off the list? Special Achievements, a humorous alley cat, and hidden masks you can collect throughout the game make this one a winner! During the investigation you must decide who is guilty and who should be punished. In Grim Façade 6: Hidden Sins Collector's Edition you will have to decide by your own! The masked vigilante Avenger has taken justice in his own hands. He’s leaving behind a trail of dead bodies with “Guilty” carving on each. And when you start to investigate you find out that each of the victims once participated into hurting of the innocent! There are many names in the Avenger’s list still, so now you will have to decide whether to let Avenger finish his job and punish the ones who avoided justice before or to put a stop to his own crimes. You ultimately make your own decision and be the law in this terrific point-and-click Puzzle Hidden Object Adventure Game! Absolutely fantastic game play. I loved the puzzle where you are upside down! The voice box used by the Avenger is menacing and raises suspicion of the Avenger's identity. The bonus round is relevant to the main game (pay attention to who Albert is during the cut scene's of the main game). I can't wait to play this a second time...Thank you Bigfish, fans of this series are going to be totally surprised! xox's

Time to restore peace and order in the Minah kingdom in Forgotten Kingdoms 2: The Ruby Ring Collector's Edition! When your hero Prince Tristan was just a baby, palace coup caused by the dark forces forced him to run away from the castle. During the coup both of his parents were killed. He was saved by his dear nanny who loved the young Prince so much that she risked her own life to save him from the shadowy figures which took away royal guards and the King himself, despite his magical powers. Nanny even had taken King’s ruby ring, which should belong to the current ruler of the Minah castle. And when Prince Tristan reaches age 18, she gives the ring to him…help Tristan to use the magical ring to restore his rights and become a king in this current installment. The story line in this edition isn't relative to the first game. I really enjoy this series, it requires brain power and should appeal to intermediate/advanced players. Beautiful graphics and voices. HO's that require inventory items to complete and challenging puzzles.
This Collectors Edition has Wallpapers, Music, Hidden Object games, an Art Gallery, Puzzles, Achievements, Hidden Crowns, a Bonus Chapter and of course a built in Strategy Guide which I highly recommend with this game, enjoy!

Play the role of Emily, a girl who’s unable to remember anything from her youth. A discovery awakens her vague memories. Emily travels to the mysterious town of Riverside to search for her past. Search for hidden objects in a unique way to unravel the abandoned town's secrets. Your objective is to save your love and avert the catastrophe facing the doomed town in Riddles of the Past. Defeat a madman along your journey. There are inventive mini-games obstructing your search for the depths of your memories and a new take on the way you find inventory items (hidden objects). This adventure has everything I could want from a STANDARD EDITION. It's worth using a free credit on...demo for yourself to see if you like it. I think most fishies will like this one. Thank you Bigfish. xox's
