Immerse yourself in the dark mystery of the vanished town of Harrowstead in another game from the famed Shadowplay HOPA series. You begin the game as a part of a group of researchers examining the Harrowestead Mystery. This was an event from a century ago when a nearby mining town just disappeared underground. Yet, one day, one of your friends stumbles onto a trail that might lead to an answer to this mystery - it wakes up something ancient and evil. Yes, the answers are close, but no one understands that they also lead straight to a place that is beyond the most twisted nightmare. As you rush to find your missing friend, your home town is collapsing all around you. All of that apparently comes from a figure that should not be possible by any law of nature. Can you overcome your oldest fears? Will you stop one more city and all of its inhabitants from becoming the new Harrowstead? SOLVE MYSTERIES AND HIDDEN OBJECT CHALLENGES This hidden object puzzle game is filled with immersive and exciting puzzle challenges, all designed in the theme of the game. Each one offers nothing short of rich casual gaming experience. **GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HARROWSTEAD DISAPPEARANCE** A town cannot just vanish from the face of the Earth. It is up to you to figure out what truly happened that day. **COMPLETE THE BONUS CHAPTER** Help a distressed mother find her missing son in the bonus chapter. Will you use this chance to put an end to an ancient evil once and for all? **ENJOY A COLLECTION OF BONUSES** The title comes with a Standard Game and Bonus chapter segments, but it will offer even more content that will keep you entertained for hours!

Terrific but a bit short?

My real rating is 4 and 1/2 stars since the game seemed short, but it was a marvelous play—with all the bells and whistles. It was a real connection to the games from Mad Head a few years ago—the Nevertales and Rite of Passage. Even the HOGs were innovative and engaging. It all worked, but it was over so quickly. The bonus game was especially great. With Mad Head’s marvelous return to our gaming world with the last two games— both long and challenging, I simply cheered and was cheered! Even with its brevity, I loved it—just creepy enough with great puzzles and great characters. Many thanks to Mad Head for these last 3 creations and to Lynx minx and others for keeping us in the know, especially when we need short escapes good for our brains. Buy it and support this terrific company’s return to the stage. Keep them coming please! Moxieruby

Smooth gameplay but not one of their best

I’m always happy when Mad Head Games releases something new for iOS, although this was not one of their best games. Somehow it lacked the creepiness of the previous Shadowplay games, and whereas their earlier games would wow me with either the story, gameplay, puzzles or HOGs, this was average. However, even an average game from Mad Head is better than some of the other games we get, and although I found (and lost) more cutting tools than I should have, at least some of them I got to use twice (sorry but my pet peeve is when developers waste our time by having us find a knife, sharp rock or shell, piece of glass wrapped with a hankie over and over again ad nauseum). There were no glitches in game play at all, all the way through the bonus game. I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t an “ultimate HOG” game in the extras, but at least we did have morphing objects in each scene as well as their HOGs, and the map was handily located in the main screen, instead of buried in the menu.My true rating is 3.5 stars but bumped up to 4 stars because of fantastic early discount Mad Head is giving to their games.

This developer is by far the most creative and innovative games maker on the planet. The puzzles are fresh (which then makes some players complain they’re “not from the States - lol) and intriguing. The storylines are new as well (maybe not for people who never leave their houses and play/eat 24 hrs a day) and present a more realistic story than fairy princesses and dragons.Those of you whose only lives are playing these games nonstop, should start reconsidering their whiny reviews or you’ll be left with nothing if you continually provide negative incentive to purchase.
