Halloween Stories: Black Book

For $5 it was an okay game. Took less than 3 hours to play, also crashed unexpectedly 3 times while playing. Puzzles are very easy, and there's not many hidden object puzzles in the game, and the ones in it are short and far too easy, as in find 5 objects, and they're in a small box, nothing to solve or fumble through. The story is also sub-par. Nothing really pulls you into the game. They could have done a lot more with it. But like I said, buying it for $5, was like sacrificing a cup of coffee for a few hours of dull puzzles for a Halloween week activity. Only worth buying if you consider all that I said worth your time and money. There's many other HOP games to enjoy out there.

This is a beautiful game. The art is high quality and the creepiness is in abundance. The interface is great, and the overall theme is very consistent throughout. The reason I'm not recommending this title is because it only lasted 2.2 hours and there was no bonus game. I look at it this way: If you pay $10 for a game that lasts 2 hours, that cost you $5 per hour. If you buy a good older RPG for $10 you might play 100 hours. That comes out to 10 cents per hour!! There is no reason these generally mediocre game are at such a premium.

I liked it. It has nice graphics.

Fun hidden object game. Maybe not quite AM quality if you are familiar with them, but it is good enough for the price and might net you 2-3 hours. Recommended to enthusiasts, but if you are new to hidden object games try the highly rated Artifex Mundi game first.
