It's an excellent game and one of the best IHOG offerings. Codeminion went the extra mile on this game and released a very polished product. Voice overs add to the fun. smile

This was a superb game. Lots of all the things we want. Graphics, suspense, storyline, hints and good length. Well worth the price.

I played this yesterday and really enjoyed it. (Yes, now I'm hooked on casual games too, lol - no life left for me).

It crashed on me once but when I opened the game back up it took me right back to my spot. I just lost about a minute of work. Other than that it ran flawless. I'm playing the bonus area now. I'm not sure how long that is.

I just downloaded this one yesterday. I think my favorite thing is being able to switch to a Match 3 game in the hidden object screens. Very fun so far...


Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

Draclvr,

i agree! I like being able to switch between hidden object and match 3 mode. I am enjoying this game, so far.

I enjoyed the match-three option as well. In general, however, I didn't like the game because the HOG screens cropped up as pay-off instead of leading to further action like, for example, more exploration or a cut scene or a puzzle or story development.

I really liked this game! I'm trying to describe exactly why this game stands out for me, and I am somewhat at a loss.

I enjoyed the story, the mini games...the music certainly added to the creepy atmosphere. There were a lot of hidden object scenes which I usually don't care for, but I was so anxious to progress in the game that I was eager to run over to the "sparkles" so I could come away with a valuable item. Being able to switch over to a Match 3 game was most helpful. Got a kick out of earning the achievementsas well.

A really well done game, and count me among those who are eagerly anticipating a sequel.

I'm currently playing this game and really enjoying it. I agree with Jeanne about HO scenes, but this game has a lot more to it than just that. Exploring, solving puzzles, etc. We want more like this one, right?

I liked this game, too. I get tired of HO so it was nice to have the Match 3 option.

I've gone back to the hotel after the sewers. Then took elevator to cemetery;spoke to old lady and heard her story. Now, I'm supposed to get back to hotel lobby for fish tank,and elevator says I can't go there. So, it appears I'm trapped with nowhere to go. Help!! please.Thanks.

Have you checked the walkthrough here for any actions you may have missed before that?

Actions are generally triggered by doing something before hand and it's hard to know what you may have missed.

There can also at times be some confusion about the way the elevator works in terms of navigation. Not sure if this is related to the problem you are having, but I'll post this nevertheless. I found this on the Big Fish forum for the game and this provides a good explanation:

Quote:
It helps if you think of the elevator as any other room. A room with two doors, one in front of you (the gate) and one behind you.

To go to the pier level push the down button.

To return to the basement level push the up button. The basement is actually above the pier level.

When exiting the elevator at the pier level you go forward through the door in front of you.

When exiting the elevator at the basement level you back out through the door behind you. To back out of the elevator, just click near the bottom of your screen, when your cursor turns to an arrow, like when backing out of any other room.

Marian: Thank you. I'll let you know if it works. It did work! Whew. Sometimes when playing a game, you actually feel as if you're trapped. Thanks again.
