Solid 5-star game for me, and I'm fairly particular. Lots of fun puzzles, not all easy. HOS's were fine. Unlike others on here, I happened to like the music. And who cares if their lips were moving or not. I'd rather have longer playing time and more puzzles. I don't even care about the story that much. Just give me a good game that has a lot to do and gives me a challenge. This one gave me several hours of fun!
I recommend this game!

This game is chock full of mini games, which I really like. A couple are pretty much impossible to win because they go too fast. Others are really fun. And a few are a little lame because they're ridiculously easy. I did like it though, and I would purchase another game from these developers. Some of the graphics are outstanding and others look to be from the 90's. Like I said, this is a tough one to review. I'm giving it 4 stars because of all the fun puzzles. Warning: if you don't like mini games, you won't like this one!

I usually enjoy ERS games, and this was no exception. However, it was all over way too soon. Could have earned 5 stars with a couple more hours of playing time.
The graphics were excellent, as is usual with ERS. Enjoyed the music, too. Had to skip one puzzle, which means it was just challenging enough. (I really hate skipping puzzles.)
Pretty decent game.
I recommend this game!

Enjoyed this one. Played in the most difficult mode, so could have been a little more challenging. Didn't skip any mini games or use any hints. Another good (just not great) game from Eipix!

This is a difficult one to review. Some things really blew me away, but others didn't make a lot of sense. Just when I'd start thinking it was a great game the developers would throw in something that was kind of silly. Quite a few puzzles, which I really like, graphics were good, voiceovers okay, and I even liked the HOS's. Music was fine. A decent 4-star game.
I recommend this game!

Ten stars!! LOVED this game! Excellent graphics, great voiceovers, oodles of puzzles (my favorite), LONG game, challenging, etc. The music could have been better but definitely not taking away a star because of that.
Play this game (unless you don't care for puzzles)! You'll see what I'm talking about. More, please!

I'm surprised that no one else mentioned how short this game is. Most Eipix games seem to be much longer. It was a good (not excellent) game, however. Just not 5-star worthy for me. Puzzles were rather easy and I never got hung up on what to do next, so not challenging enough in the most difficult mode. On to the next one!
I recommend this game!

I finished this in a couple of hours with no hints. Also, the puzzles were ridiculously easy. The game isn't long enough, and not enough of a challenge. Could have been so much better. Elephant used to be one of my favorite developers, but no longer. I much prefer Eipix and ERS. I'm recommending it because beginners may like it.

This is quickly becoming my favorite series. I love ERS graphics and they always have some pretty good puzzles. All in all a fun game that I have no real complaints about. I've played all the Grim Facade games and will be waiting eagerly for the next one.

Just loved almost everything about this game! I do have one complaint: I played in the most difficult mode. That should tell the developers that I want no hints unless I choose to hit the hint button. But when I clicked on an area of interest I would get a message like "I'll need a crowbar to open this" or "I could use a lock pick on this". (Those are just examples. They're not necessarily part of this game.) That's way too much information for someone who has played upwards of 200 of these games, as I have. I think I can figure out when a crowbar or lock pick is needed. I'm still giving this 5 stars because I just loved the game. Best graphics I've ever seen. I don't recall seeing any hidden object scenes. Puzzles were fun. Can't wait for the next one in this series. I'll be buying it!
I recommend this game!
