Shorter than most, but enjoyable and reasonably priced. I found the pop up asking for a rating to be annoying. I always rate the games. I don't need to be pestered! For $2.99, a good game. Rather easy, though I had to skip one game because I couldn't figure it out. You had to move three green and three red items into the correct places. Every time I tried to move them closer, no options were available. The help and map were both useful.

Haunted Hotel: Death Sentence seems like another superior game by Elephant Games. I jumped at the chance to purchase it at such a low price! You are a detective searching to see if your other detective buddy, James, is still alive after searching the Haunted Hotel. The mood is suitably creepy, with mood music and dark, eerie rooms to explore. As in most Elephant Games, you are given a good Hint and Skip button, and a super Teleporting Map function. The puzzles have so far been mainly mechanical in nature, such as build the movie projector from the diagram. I am glad that there are Collectibles to gather in each scene, such as decorative glassware. You also are collecting Miniature Characters of each person in the game. Love that aspect, which adds some interest to the game. The Hidden Object puzzles so far have mostly been routine, including one where you use shadow shapes to open doors with other objects. It has been so much fun thus far that it is 2 a.m., and I cannot stop playing! Buy this while you have a chance, and enjoy yourself!

This game appeared to be very well done - the story pulls you in right from the start, the voice of the character you play is very soothing, but the Difficulty is bugged. I can't play with sparkles.. I like to find the answers on my own, and past that, I find them distracting. If you don't mind the sparkles, it appears to be a great game. There is a custom mode, and I turned all of the sparkle indicators off, but things still sparkled.. I tried to change it to Advanced but even though it was listed as an option, when you try and select it, nothing happens (like it wasn't programmed as a button). If the devs ever fix this, I would love to give it another shot, but til then, I am on the hunt for a new game.

A lot of these big fish games use hidden objects to get more clues but sometimes they overuse it. In this game, they used a lot of clever mini-puzzles that were actually challenging and required logic and ingenuity to figure out. The graphics were outstanding and the hints were just enough to get you looking in the right place without giving too much away. The objects in the inventory were detailed enough to know what they were and all of the puzzles made sense, which is not always the case. Best game I've played in a long time.
