You left me speechless and impressed, and that was all just from free trial, now I have to play the whole game! First of all by choosing a look for my character on the beginning. Storyline was so amazing, I didn't even blink while I was playing and listening dialogues. Main task was to save Enrique, who is going to be killed in a Puppet show that starts on midnight, in town called Immortal, that once upon a time was a very happy place and now is cursed and evil. I liked the most that my helper - the cutest little Gothic doll I've ever seen! Sorry if this is a spoiler, but I had to write it. I was feeling very excited and impressed by every scene and, as soon as I was finished with some task, mini game etc. , I could't wait to see what will happen next. Also, my task was to release from evil all the dolls and complete their doll house where they will be safe and happy. All in all, I was enjoying so much and I can't wait to finish the whole game!
I've been playing these games for a while and I surely expected to be amused, but I did not expect this game to be so much better than the previous ones and here's why I like it so much: Intro of the game was a real cinematic experience, like a beginning of a great movie and I couldn't wait to start playing. I was intrigued by the story from the second I started playing. Since my favourite type of HOPA themes are detective stories, this is a game for me. Again, in a role of detective I had a task to solve a crime and reveal who killed the girl named Marion Ashworth. Game play was much more fun than in other games. I had a lot of fun collecting all the evidence and solving mini games, that were amazing and challenging and not too easy to solve. One thing that I expected as a detective is a tool kit or something similar, but the game play worked fine without it anyway. Special things you might like: First hidden object scene with body examination, map provided at the beginning of a game, beautiful collectible masks, collecting morphing objects, great strategy guide, achievements, you may play a Match 3 game instead of playing hidden object, etc.
I sincerely can't wait to play whole game and enjoy even more.
Excellent job, Eipix!
I recommend this game!

Dark Tales™: Edgar Allan Poe's The Mystery of Marie Roget Collector's Edition
A newlywed is threatened, and supernatural forces are afoot!
Very "Gothic" game with ravens, old fashion style and mystery. I was very excited by the theme that carries this story. I loved the game play and all mini games, especially hidden object and puzzles, but I found most conversations rather boring and not interesting. Beside that, this is a great game!
For years, Barton Mansion sat abandoned, a haunting reminder of an obsession gone wrong. But something sinister still lurked there...and it's stirring.
Very, very exciting game! I like the story very much. It's a bit scary, but interesting and fun. There is a lot of tasks to be solved, maybe too much. Hidden objects are not as easy as I expected, but I gladly solved all of them. I specially liked my little helper, but I won't be spoiling that for you. Great Job!!!
I finished free trial in just one blink of an eye! Once again, in a role of a reporter I was falling into the artistic adventure of finding a famous painter, who is supposed to do the interview with me. She has denied my previous requests many times but I won't take no for an answer, because this is such an exclusive opportunity for me as a reporter. She was given a task to restore a very famous painting which will be sold on the auction. As the time of this great and very important interview has come, we were interrupted on the very beginning by her boyfriend and that is where the fun begins...
I really enjoyed through the entire story! Scenes are beautifully done and so colourful. Solving all mini games was more than fun, especially HOPA's, because they are my favourite type of mini games. There were few funny tasks, like that one with black sheep, but I won't be spoiling that for you. All in all, excellent game! If I could give you 10 stars for this, I surely would!
My city was covered with the snow today, so this game was just what I needed to turn the bad weather into a fantasy adventure. As a player you're put into a role of Kira's best friend and the fun begins when a frozen castle appears in the sky and brings down a savage snow storm. Suddenly you're fighting an ice monster and you're trying to help your injured friend. The objective is...well you'll have to play and see, cause I won't spoil all for you. All of the hidden object were great, mini games were challenging without being hard to solve.
This was very exciting to play. Game play was extremely fun, I literally couldn't wait for the next puzzle and HOPA scene so I could win more achievements. Entire game was more than fun, scenes are beautifully done. I must admit that I finished playing the whole game in less time than I thought it'd take me to get to the final scene. Keep making these amazing games!
I just finished playing free part of the game and I cannot wait to continue playing. Mini games are challenging and I just can't get enough of HOP's. The story is engaging and I cannot even guess where it's all leading to and that's the biggest reason I want to continue playing. I loved the scenes, but I do think that this kind of story would be better represented with less saturated colours. That would add more realism and better atmosphere. Spoiler alert: I found it fitting to the story that we didn't get to save the doctor, it added real sense of danger and seriousness. All in all, the first part of the game was fun and once again, I can't wait to see more.
I've enjoyed solving all tasks and problems as a detective. It was very exciting to collect hidden objects on every scene and many of them were very well hidden. Game play was more than fun. All scenes look so great, beautiful and colourful, it felt like I was really in Italy. All except a truck in the middle of Venice, that kind of killed the immersion for a second.
This is my second favorite game! Once again, Eipix made me so proud to live in the city where these games have been created. They did an awesome job with beautiful concept art, interesting characters, cinematics filled with lovely colors and details that made me dive under the sea while playing this game. I've enjoyed playing hidden object and mini games, as much as solving puzzles, finding parables and earning all the achievements.
