Stormhill Mystery: Family Shadows

Short but fun little game. It did crash a couple of times, and it is possible to soft-lock progress by using a certain item in a certain place, without having the item needed to progress, which can't be picked up without the item that got locked in the first place.

really enjoyed this game - so please it does not have any HOG (hidden objects) - plenty to do and a great way to spent a couple of hours. will go back and play again because i didn't get all the morphing objects as i usually don't worry about them but will do for this game. great work developers.

This is a very nice game. Good effects, story, and gameplay

Great game, really enjoyed this :D

I have to say, from all aspects, this is a fine game and one it seemed a lot like I would enjoy from the description. The story is Lovecraftian, which I feel like is rare for these games which even when macabre seem to be oriented around predictable ghost or haunting tropes. The art style and animations were good, and there are full-motion video sequences of high-quality animation that transition into the illustrated scenes of the game, like many hidden object games do. The sound and music were mostly fine, the puzzles though not remarkable were serviceable. Perhaps a little infrequent for my liking, but nothing wrong on a quality level. There are collectibles in the game and a bonus adventure as well, so there is a good amount of content too. I think what bothered me the most was that the pacing and the logic of using the items felt off to me. Luckily, the difficulty I was playing on still had indicators on the map of where there was an action available next because I think without it I would have wasted a bunch of time wandering all of the scenes. The objectives weren't always clear to me story-wise, and I feel like I accumulated a lot of items in my inventory quic…

This is not a hidden object game by most any definition. Nothing is hidden other than those annoying morphing objects that HOGs regularly include to force you to spend 5 mins staring vapidly at the screen with every change in location. There are also almost no puzzles, and the couple that are included are the annoying kind of "move things around until by random chance you stumble on the answer" puzzles. Without any HOPs or puzzles, this is essentially a PnC (pick up objects and move to a new locations to use them), but without the usual PnC engaging story or humor or really any cleverness whatsoever. Oh, and it crashes sometimes. I guess the only positive is that every time it crashed, I didn't lose any progress. I don't think I could have endured redoing any portion of this game. Definitely not recommended - even if it is on a massive sale.
