This one absolutely rocks. No dull moment.
And that's saying a LOT for the Ravenhearst series. Which has not really surpassed with quality nor gameplay.

Same as Ravenhearst Unlocked, this offers a ready hint option which provides easy flow scenes, HOPS, mini games, and go-thru's. A butter-smooth storyline, dialogue that doesn't bore you to sleep, and spectacular visuals that keep you moving along happily to the end. You also can adjust the difficulty settings and bypass the help messages, which is a smile, if you find them annoying.
Lastly, the puzzles are great. No annoyance of having to illogically put things where they don't go, or back-stepping all the way to start, just to grab something for the end.
It's a YES.
I recommend this game!
A great evil unlocks deep within Ravenhearst!

I rarely offer 5 stars for any game ... but this is the BEST of the Ravenhearst series.
Its brilliant colorful graphics offer a smooth storyline that moves along flawlessly. With interesting characters that don't bore you to death with endless captioned dialogue. And enough short interesting HOPS and mini games to keep it fun and interesting.
I recommend this game!

It is a RARITY that I give high ratings to any game. Considering this is Big Fish, who've gone questionable over the years.
This is one of the better ones that doesn't overtly suck. It bares decent graphics with animation voice-overs. Smooth, continuous scenery that doesn't lag or become dull-normal. I've played other Bonfire demos, which were not so par. I love how this one features different areas to explore, on an actual map.
While you can't emit the captioned voice-over, it's a YES for me.
I recommend this game!

I initially bought this because the demo was interesting. Reinstalling it years later I regret doing so. The opening dragged on to boorishness. And just dragged thereafter. Nothing exciting or special that really 'popped out' at me. Despite efforts with the poisonous fog at the campsite. And while the gas mask thing was okay, it got old after a bit.
Captioned animations are the worst part of any game. The player should have the option of turning them off as I read quite well thank you. Conclusively this one is a big NO for me. I uninstalled and won't play it again.
I don't recommend this game.
It's up to you to stop the evil lurking in Mud Creek!

I always give games the benefit including the older ones, as you never know how they are going to function years later. Well I went to play again and it started freezing in places. I closed out figuring it was a driver issue on my end but it wasn't as I reopened and the play became sluggish, then froze in places again. Well, at least I got my money's worth the first time around.
I recommend this game!

I seriously tried to get back into this game but ...no.
The cinematic kept stalling
The opening into the mansion kept stalling
Guess I should've expected that with an 11 year old game

I tried to like this game again but very boring
Barely got past the post office before realizing it is lame
I prefer a serious challenge with real actors and voiceovers

Dark & Psychological Thriller or not, this game is impossible to get through ):
What ever were the developers thinking when they brainstormed this mess?
Strike 1: The Hint is not available during the endless HOPS and morphing areas--leaving you stranded or at the mercy of your cell phone to Google the walk-through
Strike 2: The cinematic Intro takes forever before the game even opens.
Strike 3: Too many glitches or bugs that freeze objects or become unresponsive such as attempting picking up red pills or scalpels that won't move
By the time I (finally) reached the Maternity Ward the idiot monitors would not function to allow the mechanical baby to birth (the one that falls down the shoot if you make an error) I had enough and backed out, then uninstalled. Thankfully I only wasted 2 credits.
I don't recommend this game.

I had my doubts downloading this again on my newer Windows 10 (after 6 years) And I was correct. It would not play right. Kept freezing or stalling just 10 minutes in. Didn't even complete the 1st HOP with the Hint option not reloading. Then not working period.
Well, I gave it another shot for an older game.
I don't recommend this game.

I seriously wanted to love this release, as I love dark psychological games. But I should have stuck with the free demo.
Most of the graphics are 1st class, but the hint feature is unavailable in many areas, forcing you to wander aimlessly. Which I hate. Many of the morphing objects are near impossible to find, without the actual walk-through guide. Because of the dank atmosphere. And apparently that's how it's supposed to be.
Bottom line...you will need your phone on hand, to guide you through this improbable maze.
I don't recommend this game.
