Well I just started this game and as I was watching the opening scene I said, "Hey this looks familiar" and after another DOH Moment I realized I tested the survey, and Loved it and could not wait for it to come out, now I must put the game aside for super but I cannot hardly wait to play it.... more later....

I finished it yesterday. I don't know why but it didn't seem/feel like the usual MCF games. I enjoyed all of the other ones much more than this one. duh wavegirl

I am more than halfway through and I really enjoy this game so far, like TLC mentioned it is not like the other MFC games but sometimes, sometimes a change is good/refreshing and in this case it worked for me and hopefully others will like the change and as Marian and other users have mentioned in the past: "Try the demo and see what you think before buying".
For me, I enjoyed the Artwork, puzzles, some HO screens are different and the story line is pretty good, I am taking my time playing this game since I am enjoying it and want it to last.

Coincidentally, I tried this one recently, and bought it with the Coupon today. It is quite intriguing, wonderful mini-games, and will NOT be rated "Too Easy" by moi, once I've finished it. ha ha I'm LOVING it.

I just finished this one. I agree with some who say it is "different," since I have played a full dozen in the MCF franchise. On the other hand, it is not a cheery game, and a few scenes pushed too far into my "Creepy Zone" tolerance. ha ha But after Dire Grove and the Ravenhurst and Madame Fate stories, what else should one expect from MCF? wink

As is usual these days, you can dial in exactly the difficulty level you want. PLUS, this game is the first I played that offered the option to turn off the darned Achievement Pop-Ups! Hurrah! happydance They are listening to us! Thank you, MCF.

The game had all the usual attributes of an MCF game: Morphing stuff, an iconic symbol in each scene to find, "Statues" to watch for and collect. You can ignore these at will, of course, if they aren't your cuppa. There were plenty of pesky mini-games that were multiple-level and sometimes a bit hard to understand (one I never got the point of but I stumbled into the solution). These I have come to rely on with MCF games; the harder the better. All of the mini-games are available to replay as many times as you like once you finish the game.

As is their style, the game is "dark" and brooding, a threat hangs over almost every scene. Sometimes, you are faced with something you HAVE to accept, even though you'd rather back out of the scene and think about it. ha ha Well, you asked for it! At the very end, I have no idea what happened. I had two options, and could only click and watch my character act. I want to assume I made the moral choice, but again, no way to choose or to know.

Big thumbs up from me on this one. If you don't mind creepy, that is.

Yes, some recent games have an option to turn off achievement notifications - I am so glad that you found one. yes

I will definitely put this game on my play list, Reenie. And I do like creepy. wave
