    Very intriguing storyline with many objects and tasks to complete. Puzzles are Very unique, and are fun.

  • This Game Almost Makes it Out of the "Darkness"! Lagging Persists!

    This is one of those series in which each plot fails to bring something new to the table; and as a result, each subsequent plot mirrors its predecessors. I won't say a word about the worn-out storyline; you probably have an idea of what it's going to convey.

    Several predictable and repetitive elements resurface. Firstly, the coloration follows a formulaic design in which bright and vibrant colors pop out from the dark and shadowy backdrop. Secondly, the Press Pass (left-side pull-out tab) records your collectibles' and achievements' status. Thirdly, resentfully so, the frustrating lag between scenes returns to hinder both your adventure and your enjoyment.

    The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. The teleport map enables travel to labeled locations; however, travel is delayed by several seconds, which increase as you progress. The map's layout is well constructed, indicating available actions, as well as the locations in which you can collect a morphing object.

    On the upside, I can depend upon this developer to deliver highly engaging and creative gameplay from the beginning to the end. I feel connected to the environment through the immersive background animations that spring to life upon touch; for example, the security cameras turn in different directions.
    The HOS are cleverly executed and include puzzle-like aspects. However, scenes repeat -- an archaic practice for the year 2018. You can switch to a jigsaw game, if desired. The varied puzzles are unique and entertaining; some suit the storyline and will advance your objectives. I liked the soccer table game. As usual, you discover a few sets of collectibles, which can blend into the environment.

    This is not the best in the series, but the interesting gameplay always makes up for some of the shortcomings. However, the continued lagging problem is plainly unacceptable, being that this developer had plenty of time to rectify this impeding glitch after the last four games in this series. Even with the lagging, though, I still thought the game was on the short side since I finished both the main game and the bonus rather quickly. Therefore, since I am left feeling jaded, my true rating of 3.5 stars is lowered to a final 3 stars. That said, those of you who are not afflicted by the lagging will most likely rate this game higher.

    Note to Izzyoc: Happy New Year! Thanx for the info! I am surely pleased to see no upcoming games from this developer or the glitchy ERS bunny. What a relief!
    On to the game. I generally enjoy this series, save for the interminable lag time transitioning between locations. However this game to me was on the dull side. The storyline was one we have seen over and over again: an evil entity steals souls in the quest for eternal life. The game was quite short, even with the bonus adventure. The graphics were awful, which surprised me because they are usually quirky and bright in this series. Inventory was labeled and interactive and there were complex items to assemble. There was a marked teleport map to transport you between locations, but the lag time increased from a bearable 3 seconds at the beginning to at least 8 seconds as the game progressed. There is no excuse for this long lag time; no other developer subjects us to this wait, and that adds to an extreme sense of ennui. The map indicated when you had found all the collectibles in that location. The HO scenes were somewhat ordinary. There was some variety but mostly word lists. You could also opt to complete a jigsaw as the alternative puzzle. I found many of the puzzles simplistic and boring. There weren’t that many new ones, but I slogged through most of them. There wasn’t as much to do at each location but there was a lot of jumping around, and as the lag time increased, my patience waned! In addition there were some touch screen sensitivity issues, and at times the game seemed unresponsive.
    Remember, gaming is subjective so what bothered me about this game might not affect you. I just wanted to let all of you know that this was a very average game. Due to the poor graphics, the exceedingly long load times, and the weak storyline I cannot rate this game more than 3 stars. So I will leave it at that! Happy New Year to all, warm wishes to KimTwilight, Izzyoc, Dracyy, Catalina, and Tiramisu, and happy gaming to everyone!
  • Non responsive

    I have to click on an object in HO scenes, multiple times in order to clear it. I mean every object! Sometimes 8 times in order to select it! DELETE!
  • Real people finally!

    Finally a game with REAL people! Getting so tired of monsters, dragons, fairies, mythical creatures!
    Game moves along very well, no glitches, voices are very realistic, super nice graphics.
    I usually skip the mini games, but these are fun to do, and not too hard.
    Kind of a short trial, but I knew after the first scene that I would be buying it.
