Other than that it is a very fun game. ### 3/5 — Nice Story, Game too Short *2021-05-10, version 1.0.0* Game way to short even on harder levels. ### 4/5 — 🥶🥶🥶❄️❄️ *2021-04-10, version 1.0.0* Very good game, decent length of main game and bonus, just the right amount of HOs when they got a bit much you have the choice of 3 in a row, puzzles mixed, and got it on sale, refuse to pay £7 now, so just wait on these old games coming up....recommended. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👍 😎 😷 ### 3/5 — SO MUCH POTENTIAL *2020-10-18, version 1.0.0* I have never written a review of anything before in my life, but I absolutely love these mystery based hidden object games and there is so much good stuff to say about this game, and some negatives. First of all, the graphics in this game are incredible. The interaction with the characters is such a huge positive. The graphics are FANTASTIC. I played a game called the 13th skull years ago, and it was the best hidden object mystery game i have ever played. This game has so many of the great variables that I loved about that game, namely amazing graphics and lots of interesting game character interactions. The story was relatively interesting, but it was way too easy and very SHORT. had I known that it was as easy as it is, I would have played on the most difficult level. I mention that for other avid HOS players, definitely play it at the hardest level. The positives far outweigh the negatives. I just wish it was more challenging and longer. I hope that the developers make more games similar to this one in graphics, character interaction, and mini games. Just with more of a challenge and length. Overall, WELL WORTH it for HOS fanatics and I look forward to more in the future. ### 4/5 — Great *2020-02-28, version 1.0.0* Great ### 3/5 — What’s up *2020-02-11, version 1.0.0* Hey what’s up I bought the game and beat it now no more levels to play are there gonna be anymore or do I just delete the game hope to continue playing it is a great game ### 4/5 — Great story line. *2019-11-23, version 1.0.0* The The authors followed the story line with great continuity ### 4/5 — A bit short *2019-02-05, version 1.0.0* Shorter than I expected from this company as the last one I played was much longer. A couple of the games made little sense to me and I felt like the instructions were vague. ### 4/5 — A good time ! *2019-02-03, version 1.0.0* What I loved about this game: - You can play a match 3 instead of the mini games if you don't like them. Each game has two difficulties: easy and hard - Amazing graphics! - music and sounds effects are great - inventory can be hidden - great mini games (liked the painting one) - not spooky - great storyline - collectibles (butterflies that can be used to buy cursed items in the extras section, statues and tarot cards, morphing objects) although a bit hard to spot on a small screen - buttons are too small for iphone so struggle to tap - good length - a bonus chapter with the collector edition ### 5/5 — Love it! *2018-12-08, version 1.0.0* I love this game. It has everything I look for. So much fun. ### 3/5 — Bug in the bonus game *2018-11-09, version 1.0.0* Good game but there’s a bug in the bonus game: when you open the lid with the thermos there’s supposed to be a screwdriver but there isn’t. It got me to raise the skeleton twice and I got insulation tape twice :/ can’t access the well again now and cannot do anything else as I have no screwdriver and can’t go forward :( stuck. Annoying. ### 5/5 — ...und auch gern mehr *2018-11-04, version 1.0.0* Spannendes Spiel mit interessanten Schauplätzen. Flottes Durchspielen durch schnellen Tipp und Karte. Gute Minigames mit Option, zwischen leicht und schwer zu wählen. Bei den WBS ist auch 3-gewinnt eine Möglichkeit. Alle Arten Suchobjekte sind zu finden. Die Spiellänge ist auch absolut okay. Hat großen Spaß gemacht. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Idioma *2018-10-17* Q los hagan en español por favor ### 5/5 — Yep *2018-07-11, version 1.0.0* Good game,really enjoying this game! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Will not unlock *2022-10-14, version 1.0.0* I was actually loving the game, BUT it won’t let me unlock the rest of the story ### 1/5 — Deceived *2021-06-07, version 1.0.0* I started playing the game and when get into then it pops up that I had to pay for the rest of the game was a waste of my time if it was an in app purchase they should said that under the app I would not have even downloaded it in the first place. ### 1/5 — Mystery tales: house of others *2018-12-14, version 1.0.0* Wanted to give this game a try so I clicked on “get” in my iPad air2. Before it would download a message was sent stating there wasn’t enough space for this app. The app is listed at 2.2 GB. I currently have over 10 GB free space. Any advice on how to remedy this? ### 1/5 — びっくり *2018-02-12, version 1.0.0* 久しぶりの大ハズレでした。あっという間に終わる割にはやたらと容量は大きいし、ストーリーも何回見たか？というほどありきたり。パズルも昔からあるものばかり。星1つはグラフィックに付けておきます。いい加減ゴーストメガネは辞めたら如何でしょうか？このシリーズはもう買いません。 ### 1/5 — Not the best *2018-02-01, version 1.0.0* Maybe it is an older game? Ok for a bit, then, for me, tedious visuals, clunky scene changes, puzzles not very interesting. ### 1/5 — DON'T B'OTHER TO KNOCK... *2018-01-31, version 1.0.0* A review to appease my target audience: (Ahem..hi Grandma...) 🤦🏼‍♀️The second I saw the resurrection of those cringeworthy GLASSES, (with that accompanying statement "Oh! How I missed my glasses!" 🤢🚽) plus the Barney-Purple Dodge Caravan, the language/syntax errors, the sparse landscape/house and all the worn trademarks of games gone by...... I did my best to remain optimistic, but... ....I soon realized this game is just NOT for me. At all. But let's start with some good news: ☀️HIGHLIGHTS: •Love a Paranormal Storyline. •First HO game.Great! Gotta love a 2-1, complete with all morphing objects and ending in a Mini-Game, complete with the HARD/EASY options (thank you!) that's auto-defaulted to HARD. •Second HOP. Again, Great. Fav part was the really intriguing computer Ghost hunt at the end, but WAY too short....I'd have been thrilled if it was much more thorough; extended into a Mini-Game all its own. And...oh. I could've sworn there was more...oh well. 🌥LOWLIGHTS: •📟Graphics, Automation and even Story feels dated.(¬ in a good way🕺🏻) As much as I love Paranormal genres - the cheese factor definitely overshadowed the cool. •🦉🔫 😳 🚫ANGRY ANIMALS !?!? Can pacifying angry animals really be THAT popular? Enjoyable enough to be repeatedly included in (some) games?? And the -toy mouse- earning the title of "Owl Whisperer"? 🗣!🗯🦉 This game becomes more oxymoronic by the minute. Why not pacify ME by including several options of "items" to really shoo, or better yet silence the cranky animals? Oh c'mon!...I can't be the only one that has previously tried to use rocks, poison, etc.....and some other helpful suggestions: 🦉🤺 🦉🥊 🦉🛤🚈 🦉🔍🌞 🦉+🗡=🍗 🦉🐍🚜🦅🏎🦍🦈🛒 🦉🔐⛓⚓️⤵️ 🌊 🚁 | 🦉 | | ⬇️ 🌋 MOBILE PHONE BATTERY REPLACEMENT 📱-🔋=😴💤 ...snooze-fest. Why left outside sans battery?? Is it stolen?? Ooooo...🚔 Now THAT would be exciting.. MODERN GPS in VAN. As I placed directions, (still blissfully unaware I'm in a purple utility van, shudder) excited, as I fully expected some cool interactive mini-game....or at least a some type of HO or a puzzle .... Oh! 😃A police chase for the stolen phone?!?! No. 🙄Instead it's just dreary automated directions. Another big Yawn. BEEN There/DONE That....Next! 🎡Things that were fun....once. •Bundled sticks that require tape (string, ribbon etc) to create a mini broom - as these anemic little twigs are to whisk away mounds of packed snow "Um...⛄️"No, man" •Broken purse/jacket/backpack zippers requiring converted paperclips/hairpins or fishhooks •Bookshelf Arrangements with the two requisite books to rearrange (This CAN be a fun challenge when there's plenty of books and an intricate pattern) 🙎🏼🤳🏻MOBILE APP PERIMETER ISSUES. (And I've got slender fingers!) 1)Slider Mini-Game: The close perimeters causing parameters..(ha) that closed me out numerous times 2many)Find the differences: Any selection on the bottom half instantly closed me out - so many times I almost skipped it Okay- enough negativity. That Owl really got me going. OVERALL: Mostly Cloudy ☂️ 🌁🙆🏼 Miss LC in S.F. ### 2/5 — Boring *2024-01-19, version 1.0.0* The same graphics are use. You seem to be in the same room but with different objects and in a different place, but it is the same design for the room. Don’t waste your money. ### 2/5 — Eigentlich super, aber... *2020-07-10, version 1.0.0* ...habe die vollversion runtergeladen. Leider endete der Spaß im Verlies, weil die Brille nicht matched mit der schwarzen Wolke und so das Spiel nicht fortzuführen ist. Schade... ### 2/5 — Free Trial Only *2019-11-27, version 1.0.0* Good game but only free trial ### 2/5 — Just ok *2018-01-27, version 1.0.0* Why people rate it 4 stars when they haven’t played is not right! It boosts ratings and convinces others to play and waste money! This game is just OK..I didn’t purchase..it just didn’t seem worth my time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Others *2023-02-07, version 1.0.0* Just started playing this game. Graphics are awesome. So far the storyline is great 😊. 5 stars ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Bello e vario *2022-06-04* Fatto molto bene ### 5/5 — Excellent Quality & Story *2022-01-15, version 1.0.0* Do recommend ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2020-12-30, version 1.0.0* Loved everything about this game especially the easy and hard options on the puzzles. ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-09-24, version 1.0.0* I keep looking at Big Fish for games in the sale which I haven’t got, which is difficult because I have 100’s , needed this one to complete them all. I think it is great that you can choose easy or hard on puzzles, which are very mixed, very colourful with a great map which shows where to go next and if you have missed any collectibles, I missed 3 cards which you can’t get at the end but got all the butterflies. A great developer and worth playing them all. Just played this again during 2020 lockdown, I refuse to pay £6.99 for a new game so I am looking back at the 100s I already have, shame some of them are no longer available, come on developers and reduce the price for us all. ### 5/5 — Jeu *2019-08-25, version 1.0.0* Bonne durée de jeu pas de bug Très bon jeu ### 5/5 — Génial ! Je recommande ! *2019-08-03, version 1.0.0* J’ai acheté le jeu. Et exceptionnellement, pas de mauvaise surprise. Plusieurs heures de jeu a un niveau correct. J’ai beaucoup aimé. ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2019-04-15, version 1.0.0* great graphics, really enjoyable... ### 5/5 — Langes Spielvergnügen. *2019-02-23, version 1.0.0* Sammel- und Chamäleon Objekte vorhanden, Mini spiele gut erklärt. Für 3,49€ angemessen. Leider kann man nicht gesammelte Objekte (Karten und Chamäleon Objekte) nicht nachholen. Blöd. ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2019-02-06, version 1.0.0* Love this --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
