It's also based on the TV series TRue Blood on HBO. My hubby loves that show, I am not a fan, but I do think they did an excellent job on making a game series out of it. Ana

I'm a big Charlaine Harris fan. But not so much her vampire stories as her Southern mysteries. Not sure about this game yet. A bit cheesy, IMO. ETA: Have to admit though that the game seems to be well done. Nice graphics and good voice acting (except for the chick with the "Southern" accent). HO scenes are challenging and Hint recharge is a bit slow, but not frustratingly so. Maybe I've just become accustomed to the darker sort of games. This one takes an interesting turn in that it involves a dark subject, but has plenty of humor.

I don't care for this post modern trend of trying to make heroes out of vampires (or any other evil). And have no interest in the series this game is related to.

Like Sparkle, I'm not thrilled with Harris' vampire stuff and prefer her mysteries, but I totally love Jane Jensen, and this game is so much in her style.
I bought it halfway through the demo and am having a great time! So much humor that it makes up for the fact that vampires are so overdone right now.
Absolutely, it's cheesy, but it's also hilarious and entertaining, with great characters!
PS Does anyone know the name of the song that's used for the theme, or the artist? It's now stuck in my head!

Young Goodman Brown? Like in the Nathaniel Hawthorne story? Oh, how perfect. Thanks, Marian. I must check this band out!
PS Yes, indeed! It is the Scarlet Furies and the song, with the vocals by Raleigh Holmes, who could have starred in it as well. She's perfectly folksy Gothic. Hawthorne would have loved her!

Downloaded the game and can not quit playing. I am starting Epsoide 3 now. This is a "keeper" to play again. Wanting more already.

I don't like playing vampires normally, but she is a lady and doesn't gross me out like other vampire games. I found this to have Fantastic Graphics, Voiceovers, storyline, mini games, map, the map is actually fun to use no more having to walk back and forth. The voices were the best I have ever heard. I love that when you click on a character they may have more to say.
I love the Hidden objects actually kept with the theme of the story. I loved the mini games no 2 are alike but also a fast skip if needed. I loved the song. i loved the music in the entire game never the same fit the scenes. The Blood bank and motel scene was funny. The sense of humor she has is one of my favorite parts of the game. I wish I was born with the woman who did her voice.
I loved the manaquin and having to dress it up for certain scenes choosing what to wear one of my favorite parts of the game. I love the main character she has a beautiful voice and her personality fits her. I love the episodes the way they are divided and the narrator reminds us where we left off. I love the animation of the game. I would give this 10 stars if I could. I loved the hints so we never get stuck and have a choice which task to ask for help with. There is nothing about this game I don't love. All games should be this fun.
This beat 13 skulls, dire, sherlock holmes, every game I have played thus far in my opinion. Perfect balance between HOGS and interactive. i love the non linear feel to it not being forced to finish a task before doing another one.
I loved the graveyard scene and not just walking into it but added something special to use. The comments the main character says is so funny, and if you keep clicking she may say more. The only thing I didn't love was to have it end.
Oh please game producers hurry and continue this and I hope you will make a series of games with her. I will buy each one if it remains as good as this one. Highly recommend the game, there was no occult stuff to offend me, like drawing pentagrams ect.

 Sherryah & 8dognight  spot on with your reviews! Just finished, bought w/o trial, nor any foreknowledge of either the author nor anything attributable to her. My only query at this pint, is how long are we gonna have to wait for the next installments???

Well, I went ahead and got this one with my Game Club credit. Have to admit, my initial reaction to it was prematurely negative. Nice game. A humorous take on the standard vampire story.
ETA: Be sure to Google "Scarlet Furies", the group that does the main theme music for this game. They also did music for "Gray Matter". How cool is that?

Hmmm, from the reaction we are having to the sequel, maybe this should go from "Dying for Daylight--Part 1-4" to "Dying for Dahlia--Part 2." A lot of us were huge fans of Gabriel Knight, but Dahlia is a really good second.  PS Oh, and for the curious--Robert Holmes, who did the music for Gray Matter and Gabriel Knight as well as this one, is also a member of Scarlet Furies, the band that is fronted by his daughter, Raleigh, whose stepmother is----yep, Jane Jensen! And you think Dahlia has a history!
