Demo version I got 20 minutes into this before realizing it wasn't for me. The graphics are great and the voiceovers impressive but the animations rather elementary. The characters, voiceovers, and objects are slow moving, along with the changing scenes, which irritated me a little. Things should move along like click speed, and they don't.
I skipped through most of the short games as they didn't make sense to me such as the first diamond matchup portrait thing where you're supposed to fit the correct eyes. At least I only played the demo version instead wasting the money.
I don't recommend this game.

I only had to play 5 minutes of the demo to absolutely hate it. No Hint button?!? The high raters obviously work for Big Fish.

Sorry to report, but the demo version literally lagged on both my newer Windows 10 & my older Windows 8.1 laptops just 10-minutes into the play. The icon just dragged over the screen, and the 1st HOP barely responded to my click finds despite my efforts to log in and out, hoping it would "refresh" the gameplay. So sad...bc I really was starting to like the game :(
I don't recommend this game.

I should have known this was another very dated game the moment it opened. And here I simply typed in "top games" The Intro takes forever to dissolve, and then that opening mirror hall. What the heck was that about? Mindlessly wandering about those six lamps, realizing they needed to be turned on, because of no actual help. And those incessant mirrors. Some haunted house. Glad I only played 5 minutes of the demo.
I don't recommend this game.

Wow - I should have checked the ratings before downloading this. I wondered why it played so wonky on my windows 10...its OLD (2011) :O :(
I barely got through 5 whole minutes of the demo with everything moving SLOW. Some of the HOPS wouldn't open immediately. UGH Cannot recommend.
I barely got through 10 minutes of this demo before realizing how unimaginative and boring it is. The opening should have shouted "Not" as the graphics are midgrade at best with the animation and voiceovers mediocre. It would have gotten better had the developers actually invested real-time effort and cash into make it worth a $13 purchase.
I managed to get through to the basement area with the lobster and lock match game before it froze on me. Barely allowed me to exit, which became irritating. I should have checked these ratings before downloading and purchasing. It would have saved me the trouble and aggravation.
Not much a fun game. I'd been on the fence during the trial but had a free token so I foolishly bought.
I absolutely tried hard to get into this game, but no luck. While the graphics were decent, it became cumbersome grade school level with ridiculous oversized objects 'floating' as I clicked on them, and opening scenes and the characterization moving too slowly. I've played other vampire tales before, but they were adult octane level compared to this.
I found this game tough to really get into, and I live for fun spooky Halloween games. But this one didn't 'grab' me like I'd hoped. I got 20 minutes into the demo before realizing it just wasn't happening. Between the redundant hops and the boorish sparkle finders.
I got only 10 minutes into the demo before realizing the Hint feature wasn't working. It never charged at all. I got stuck in the opening HOP with the kid's backpacks, unable to continue after matching their toys because the hint hadn't recharged. The animation graphics are second grade at best. Glad I only played the demo version.
