    This was a very fun game! Played well, objects not easy to find by they are there and can be found. I found most the objects actually looked like the object named to find. Unlike some other HOGs. The clues are fun to figure out. Wish the game went on longer!!! This is definitely a game worth playing! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Great atmosphere and length. Liked that the hidden objects were era appropriate (no computer mice or phones to find). An all around enjoyable game experience. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Have to agree with others, the game was way too short. Very interesting, and partly based on a real murder mystery of ayoung woman in the 19th century. As long as they do not present games involving recent murders, where family members are still living, then its fine with me. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Wonderful play. Oodles of atmosphere. BUT...toward the end, the game locked up my computer. This has happened to me before with other games & I've been able to close the game, reopen & play through. Not with this one. It locked up in the same place, so I was unable to complete the game. Disappointed. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I love spooky games but this is the best game I have played so far. The scences are beautiful, the graphics are gorgeous and the story is fun. Also loved the hint system. I highly recommend this game. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    You've gotta try this one! It has everything...Fantastic spooky scenes and creepy game art, combines with ghostly apparitions. And the pointer is a cool skeletal hand! The game offered me a good challenge without being too much a toughy. And the mini games? Good also, not to hard, not too easy. I guarantee that it will keep you occupied for a day or two!

    User Review by dkiddo

    I don't understand the big praise this game has gotten, it's very simple and annoying because I can't find all the clues in a location at once, I have to wait until I find like 6 of them to flip the page and get the other set of clues, then I have to wait for everything to be done to be able to use the inventory items, the graphics didn't impress me (it feels like a Ravenhearst copy). The music is good though, and so are the sound effects, but other than that I finished my hour trial and so long game. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    This game could've been much better. The graphics and creepy level were great but it was just too easy. You were always told where to go next and what to do. That's not fun. It's too bad, the potential was there. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I loved this game. It wasn't that hard, but it was fun. It did crash to the desktop twice, but only to a small window and I was able to bring it right back up. But the game was fairly easy and relaxing, about 4 hours for me. I loved the story and kept me interested. I would love to see more of these games. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I won't repeat the kudos others have given this game - it's a superb experience, well worth the time spent to play, and I wish it had been longer! Hopefully the developer will delight us with another offering of this caliber soon. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Oh. My. Goodness. When I saw the release announcement of this, I internally mocked and ridiculed. (Poe murdered? Solution through interviewing ghosts? Har-de-har-har-HAR!) But, golly, most of the folks here really seemed to like it, and I'd just given up on "The Clumsys" (can't follow the footprint/handprint finder), so I downloaded the trial. I love it. Strengths: (1) immersive, dark atmosphere that (for me) avoids the real horror of "Return to Ravenhurst". (2) great hint system, described by others. (3) I never felt that an object's hiding spot was unfair, except one or two times that may be due to my limited color vision. (4) Reasonable objects to be found that, at least so far, don't include a hot dog or (my personal aggravant) an abacus. I'm through the first of the three sections and do not yet have a quibble. I've been fortunate not to have the performance issues some have mentioned. I think I may be replaying this one a lot. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Thought the game was far too easy. Played for 40mins hoping it would improve. Not a patch on Department 42 or Enlightenus. Will be giving this one a miss. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Wow, fabulous! I hope the same MumboJumbo team is working on another masterpiece right this minute. While often macabre, the graphics are terrific and the game play is full of surprises. The hint system alone is worth a few stars. I'll confess to clicking randomly several times just to watch the raven pick up his lantern in his talons and fly away from the black cat. Brilliant. The game followed the real life story of Mary Rogers quite nicely, too. Every time ghosts appeared, especially Poe in chains, my computer slowed down almost to stop but I decided to blame my graphics card rather than this clever and beautifully constructed game.

    One of the best HOG's I've seen in a long time. I won't repeat the kudos already expressed by others, but this is a beautifully designed, well thought out game that deserves a lot of customers. There is so much schlock out there - this kind of quality work should be supported. I'll highlight just two of the many ways this game is superior to others: the integration of the hidden objects with the story, and, the ingenious hint system.

    Loved it. It was a little bit less spooky than i thought it would be, but this game was great! I also loved how when you could walk to another area the hand would go to two fingers and walk. too cutee. :)//enjoy it everyone! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Totally loved it. Absolutely GORGEOUS to look at and great musical background to boot. Many many hints, but never needed most. I am always afraid the minigames will be too hard for me or I won't be able to figure out what tool is needed to open the next scene. Not a problem in this game; if anything, was TOO easy. But that was fine also. Interesting objects fairly placed; no draconian overclick penalties. Plenty long; interesting, well-assembled plot. If only there had been voice acting too! A winner IMO.

    This game has everything, beautiful clear graphics, able to skip mini games, fantastic storyline, fun mini games, I like that I don't feel overwhelmed and not handed the entire list of hidden objects at once. I love the people giving their opinion of the crime, and the spooky characters that pop in unexpected. The only way I could think of asking for improvement of this game, would have been voices to the characters. However I just can 't bring myself to take away a star because of the lack of voice overs. Congrats on a great game. I highly recommend this game. I really like the way the raven points out where the hidden object is when we need a clue. There is no doubt where the raven is pointing, and the hints fill up quickly. I hope there will be a sequel to this game with an option to have voices. I know when a game is a great game, I have a problem stopping long enough to review it. Ok I reviewed it and now back to playing some more. I almost forgot I love the way when we find certain objects we use the objects so it is interactive Hog also. Also I love that when we highlight the hidden object we can see what the object looks like. One last thing when you click too many times a scary, mangy one eyed cat comes and hisses and claws at you! That is just too funny,and the only damage is he chases away the raven who has the hints, but don't worry the hints return quickly. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate
