Still great!
Replaying this game, 6 years later, I’m amazed at how much I’m loving it. Again!
bonus chapter
Could not access gloves in bonus chapter so could not move forward.
Bugs! Started twice but no good, can't play!
Game losses the inventory and I had to start over, the second time I got further into the game when the same thing happened! This one is a lost for me! I even rebooted the iPad and closed down all apps, that didn't help. I'm not investing any more of my time on this one!
Disappearing Inventory
Seriously I would love to rate higher but can not play without inventory. Please fix
do not waste your money
Mid game the inventory stopped working. Twice. I will not try a third time. Even when working the story is boring. I want a refund!
Deadly Deception
I liked this game a lot but it was too short. 🎭🎼
Danse Macabre: Deadly Deception by LynxMinx
Note to KimTwilight:
I Just played Eventide and loved it. Reviewers, it's a game by Artifex Mundi that was never advertised by BigFish and I wouldn't have known about it if not for KimT. It was fantastic! You all should check it out! I guess I will start this game now and get back to you upon completion! I have noticed that our old reviews are disappearing and I am outraged over this!
KimT: I read your advice on what to google and search for! This is EXTREMELY HELPFUL! I am so grateful you have no idea! This might be the answer to my problem, so thank you ever so much! Since I am not technologically inclined, I never would have figured it out on my own! I am in so much pain that this could really be the perfect solution to help me play these games! Just knowing you care means the world to me! Dracyy, thank you as well for your advice! I so appreciate that you are so amazingly thoughtful! I won't play that new Alaskan game but not because of the mouse! It got poor reviews, and has too many HO's, plus you didn't care for it and I trust you implicitly. After all I did play the Haunted Hotel game and there were RATS and I survived, but as always I really am so grateful for you and KimT giving me a heads up! Do you wonder what happened to Snooper? I really miss her a lot! Dracyy, those games Kim recommended by Artifex Mundi are amazing! BigFish never let us know of them and then they give us crap without a free trial! You will love Eventide! Thanks again, team! You are the best!
So on to the review: I love the 1920's Art Deco graphics; my home has quite a few pieces from that era. The story was good, but I hate evidence folders. There were 3 options of difficulty, but no customization or left-handed mode. You collect masks and morphing objects only in HOS, which were varied and fun, and they weren't overly done. If you didn't feel like the HO scenes, you could play match-3 instead. Inventory was labeled, and there were plus items to assemble. There was a marked teleport map, if so chosen and loading was instantaneous between locations. The puzzles were mostly of the rotational type, my least favorite, but KimT you would be proud of me because I did them all and didn't skip any; I am trying to hone my brain. There weren't enough puzzles/games. But at least there were no rodents to deal with either!
I deducted a star for the following reasons: the game was extremely short, even with bonus adventure. I really would prefer a journal instead of an evidence folder to keep track of the story, and I hate having to exit the game to access the map and the evidence file!
Still I liked this game better than the last Dead Reckoning, but I wish there had been more substance to this game, and more to do! So now I think I will play Dreamatorium, which you recommended, KimT! I don't know why BigFish is not telling us about these games! Lynxie sends 💋❤️😘 to the Dream Team Elite, especially to the amazing KimT, Dracyy, Opinion, and Sunshine Susie! Welcome back Blueflier! We missed you! Hope you're well. Keep up the great work, because we need better games. I refuse to play any new game that comes out which doesn't have a teleport map. With what we pay, especially without trials, we are entitled to be lazy if we want, lol! Thank you also Dracyy and Kim for staying on RAT patrol for me!
UPDATE: Gamers and reviewers alike, the Artifex Mundi game Dreamatorium of Dr. Magnus 2 is a must-play! Btw, that's a developer who gives you a trial first, without having to pay up front, and their games are amazingly well-tested! So superior to what BigFish is giving us, with all the types of game elements we love! You can thank the fabulous and amazing KimTwilight, who is the best of the best on the Dream Team Elite! Speaking of which, does anyone notice that the last couple of games (the Asian one and the Native American one) got very poor reviews? Why is BigFish not bringing us more quality games, by developers such as Artifex Mundi, BOOLAT, Mad Head and Sunward? Everyone needs to speak up! Inferior games without trial periods? Certainly not alright to take our money up front and give us glitchy and dated games with no trials! What has happened to their integrity? It's in the toilet! 💩💩🚽😖😡 Please everyone (not just the team), start COMPLAINING! Or it's going to get worse!

Not the best in series, but still quite good
Another mystery in this series is always something to be excited about because of the storyline and plot. But this time, it was a little less creative and a bit more buggy. However, that's when I compare with the other five star games in the series...when I compare Deception with other games outside the Danse Macabre series, it is still much better than those.
The good: interesting storyline and plot. Great graphics and sound overs and cutscenes. Locale isn't a bewitched castle and the villain isn't an ogre or witch. Real world-ish, but in the 30s-40s. The HOs are varied, and there are collectibles if you like that kind of thing.
The bad: the games were quite easy and didn't seem very diverse. I felt like I was turning things all the time. The exact-spot tapping was all too prevalent. And while the characters and storyline were intriguing, the actual gameplay was just kind of meh.😶😐
Worth the sale price? Most definitely. Full fare? I'm not so sure.
Thank you to all the reviewers who give their time and effort! Your feedback and shared experience really helps those of us who aren't playing all the games and want to pick the best ones for our time. Virtual bouquets to you all!💐💐💐💐🌺🌸🌼🌷🌹
Hellos and good wishes to everyone...I'm recovering and getting stronger every day, and I enjoy seeing your posts. xo

Poor programming
Seemed to be a good story with good graphics. But, at one point, my inventory disappeared and I had to delete/reload the program and start from the beginning. Now the program has froze and I'll have to do the ol' delete/reload/start from the beginning again if I want to keep playing. I'm fed up with the poor quality and will delete (not reload) this game. This isn't the first Big Fish game that this has happened... most recently with Mystery Trackers, Nightsville Horror. Until Big Fish develops quality control in the programs that they release, I'm swearing off their products.

Great game, beautiful artwork
And no glitches
A good murder mystery
Quality graphics and storyline that kept me hooked.
Danse Macabre - Deadly Deception
Yes Indeedy...another good game in this series. Interesting story and fun game.
Bad bad bad
Twice I've had to delete and reinstall this game because it randomly just takes the objects I acquire. I can't move forward or back because I don't possess the appropriate tools.
Even on sale, this was a waste of money.

Inventory items disappeared!
I was playing this game at a good pace and rather enjoying it. I came back to the game a day later and all of my inventory items are gone! I got to the end of Chapter 4. I remember I acquired the two clock weights and needed to place them on the clock. But now all items are gone and I can't proceed. So disappointed because I was enjoying this game! Please fix!

Buggy
I couldn't use the the clock weights and then the inventory disappeared. This happened halfway through the game. I am playing on an Ipad air.
Great Game
I usually don't review until I have finished the game. This one is great fun. Enjoying this too much to wait until the end. Look forward to a sequel or more like this one.
I just bought
I love this series but the mechanics on this one are way too bug I've rested twice and I can't even get past the very first scene because the tool box won't pop up.
Eh...
I've played a lot of Big Fish games, and the first Danse Macabre is one of my favorites. But this one just seemed lazy, and not challenging at all.
Almost Perfect
I love Elephant Games and this one is no exception. Good story line, collectibles, solid voice overs, transporting map and creative puzzles. Wanted to give this five stars but wish the map were easier to get to and that all the HOPs had zoom.
Too short
Wasn't long enough. Not worth the money.
