Yes, RTR and Campfire Legends and Puppet Show. So many places to go and things to do...sometimes spooky.

This is a good game. Bought it after playing the demo for 5 minutes. I like the voices, clear graphics, colorful characters, and spooky atmosphere. It does have more Hog than IHOG but that doesn't bother me. I am really liking this one.That's 2 for the punch card, this one and Mishap. There is also a "sneak peek" on the main screen. I guess this is for their next game? It looks good as well.

I never purchase a game without playing the WHOLE demo... except this time. After 5 minutes I bought it using my Feb. credit. A very good game and it does remind me of RTR. Now that I've played 5 min. of it we have to go out for the evening... and I wont get to play for hours.  At least I'll be excited to get home to play it. Hope you all enjoy it as much.

I am playing it but I don't have any voices?! I only have "read-its" How come I don't got no voices?? Me thinks I need to check the options?? **edit: according to the options, I should be having voices? Now what please?? **edit again: I haven't seen any "speech bubbles" yet so maybe I haven't gotten to any voices yet either

I didn't hear voices until I got to the town.
Not to be a wet blanket, but there are a sizable number of people on the Big Fish forums reporting a game-stopping glitch involving a spider, although I know one person who got past this part without problems. So, just a heads up about this. Problems or no, I am going to wait until a new build goes up before I purchase the game.
I thought the portion of the demo I played was very enjoyable.

I have been playing for about 2-3 hours, didn't encounter any problems. Every time there is a character on the screen I move the cursor over him or her and a buble appears, clicking on it makes them talk, some of them sound pretty grumpy. I hope they will fix this glitch soon and everyone could enjoy the game in full.

Am I stuck or is it a glitch? I am at the castle ,have the notebook, the count has disappeared, I need a key for the butchers freezer machine, I don't think I have enough info to complete the door puzzle with the tokens (I have them all). My "to do" list tells me to return to the Burnt Out house for more clues, but nothing sparkles. The map highlights the Burnt Out room and the token door. Is it possible to do things in the wrong order?

I bought the game today but there is a big glitch. the game doesn't save as you leave it. then you have to start over from the beginning. I have mailed to BigFish about this problem and with me many people. so we're waiting for a solution.

Just to let you know I finished it. What a cracking game! My nether regions have died, but I couldn't leave it. Great story, fabulous puzzles and the notebook meant you should always know what you were trying achieve. (I know I posted for help, but I did have the info needed to complete the puzzle) One small gripe, it was necessary to return to the same scenes and the hidden objects were the same ones each time. I hope the glitches are sorted soon. My saves were fine and the voices worked for me. Highly recommended.

There are a couple known bugs that affect some people, but not most. We alerted the developer and have a new build we are testing now and if all goes well it will be released tonight and show up in Game Manager as a critical update.

My save works but I got some glitch. I can not pick up the last sapphire in the Backstage, the one above the collar. Clicking on it doesn't do, even when it's inside the hint.

I played the demo and was going to use my Club Credit to buy it because I really enjoyed it, but I think I'll wait until all of the bugs have been ironed out. I didn't have any problems with the demo, but then again I didn't get very far into the game either.

I also bought this game and I am enjoying it too. I like having to do a task after finding all the objects, then solving a puzzle. The puzzles aren't to hard, but enough to make you think.

Hi, Darleen!
I got the game on Sunday and am thoroughly enjoying it. I thought I was using my club credit but, unfortunately, I had clicked on the strategy guide by mistake, so I ended up getting a free strategy guide and paying $6.99 for the game. Even though my "slip of the fingers" cost me $6.99, it's well worth the price.

Hi all, Had a problem with the spider. so re-downloaded and started over with the new fix. Played it last night...got past the spider....but the game didn't save when I quit. So  NOW I have to start over, but I'm not going to until I know that I can save my game when I need to. Any advice for me?

I'm playing on my 64-bit Win 7 and it saves when I exit and seems to be fine so far. The only glitches I've encountered have been self-induced!

Hi, Darlene!
You're not doing anything wrong because I ran into the same problem. Just keep clicking around the object you're trying to get and, eventually, you'll be successful.

Hi Darlene, I had the same problem too. Don't put the hook on the sparkles, put it slightly to the left, near the top of the pole. That's where it worked for me.

Started playing the free one hour. Regarding the backpack in the tree, I click on it and can't find the axe. I was going to buy this game, but, if this is the case, glad I didn't. Thanks.

Laurette there are what appears to be two backpacks inside the tree. Click on the one that is right under the shovel and an axe will appear, not the one with the fork in it. Then just click on the axe and it goes in inventory!! Hope that will help ya. It is a good game so far..  Nan
