Phantasmat: The Endless Night Collector's Edition

Highly recommend.

The visuals are good. The story is mildly interesting. The way that objects and clues are handed to the player is incredibly convoluted and confusing. Ended up having to use the hint button on things that were frankly silly, which just made me angry and frustrated. The game design needs to be improved.

This is above average on the Mountain Crime Requital scale. Loved the HOPs in this game, and it was fun to do the HOP-in-HOP style HOPs. The story was alright, actually darker than most and there were some scares that actually made me jump. The bonus chapter was weirdly short thouogh. Overall, definitely an improvement over the first!!

This is an exceptional title with lots of truly unique puzzles and games. The artwork is simply fantastic. I'm a huge fan of dystopian settings and this one hits the spot. I really liked the consistent attention to detail and overall creepiness. I also enjoyed the story and the interface was one of the best I've seen. I highly recommend this title. Like most HOGs, it has its fair share of stupid items or actions but it's all part of the fun. As always, wait for the game to go on sale. No games are worth full price these days.

This program contains a bug for a lot of people: After playing for some time the inventory items become invisible. Those who encountered the problem were not able to solve it. Anyway, the game is nowhere near as intriguing as its very nice predecessor Phantasmat Crucible Peak, more like a lot of other mainstream HOG's.

If you want a game to simply pass the time with little to no effort, this is the one for you. The story is, as usual, tame and a bit awkward at times, but it is what you expected out of a hidden object game.
