Nevermore says the Raven.......I agree
Dracyy
Unfortunately this game feels extremely dated and clunky, and take the warning about graphic gore seriously! Opening cut scene is a suicide. As for the game, graphics are tiny, colors are muted and dull and the best advice I have for you is play the trial before committing.
The "Raven" Casts a "Dark" Shadow on This "Tale"!

Warning: There are some violent and bloody images that might disturb some players! My favorite detective is back! Why is he my favorite? Because he is charming, elegant, sophisticated, and most handsome--the last being the most important trait of all! This storyline is very loosely based upon the poem The Raven, originally published in 1845 by American writer Edgar Allen Poe. The settings strictly follow the typical horror-themed template. You will be dismayed by macabre visuals, such as the talking head of a human, with bloodstained scars, white eyeballs, and steel spikes jutting out from his ears. The graphics are embellished with finely hand-drawn details that evince a photographic realism of the environment. The coloration showcases softly muted shades of gray, blue, and brown; the color gray is sometimes representative of pessimistic and depressive feelings, which factor well into this storyline. You can customize your settings. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. In custom mode, the teleport map delays travel to labeled locations by a few seconds; but it indicates available actions. Transition between scenes is slightly delayed by about two or three seconds. The sole HOS I came across during the free trial is a word list with slight interaction. As the game progresses, the formats slightly vary; but there is not one scene that caught my attention. Furthermore, scenes are revisited; and this is unacceptable these days. The puzzles are the highlight of this game. Most are entertaining and a bit challenging. Furthermore, some let you enable a preferred difficulty setting. I particularly enjoyed moving the beetle around in the maze. The collectibles are scarce in quantity, but the information each one details is interesting. Considering the brevity of the free trial, I was hesitant to purchase the game; however, once again, my craving for a hidden object adventure lured me into purchasing it. Unfortunately, I am underwhelmed. Gameplay, aside from the puzzles, is elementary and boring. The game delivers an outdated feel, as it fails to offer any traces of innovation to sparkle my imagination. Furthermore, I found some touch-sensitivity issues. During one of the HOSs, I swiftly clicked a few times, causing the screen to zoom up. I could not get the screen to zoom out, even by pinching the screen. So, I had to back out of the scene using the map and then re-enter the scene. Moreover, interacting within the HOSs is tedious; I need to assertively tap around to find that magic spot when combining items. Another quibble--a trivial one--is that it bothers me when the audio dialogue of the main character is silent; I find this to be an archaic practice. Finally, inventory actions are repeated for some items; more specifically, you will have to hammer each nail individually to assemble a ladder. The greater aspects are the graphics, the puzzles, and Detective Dupin's appealing qualities; other than these, I am disappointed with this game. I rate this game 3 stars, mostly due to the enjoyable puzzles. You should play the free trial first to decide for yourselves.
Disappointing

I used to love Ers, they were always fun and skillful. The Edgar Allen Poe series was good too. This go round is bloated with too many cut scenes, animations, and dialogues. I’ve been skipping through all of them. All I care about are the HO scenes and puzzles. I wish these games could get back to what they do best.
Expected more from Big Fish ...

The game was short, the mini games were below par, and it was just an overall disappointment. I expected more from Big Fish and hope this isn't a new trend. ☹️
Not for me

I HATED the mazes. They were very time consuming and not much fun because you're traveling in the dark, avoiding enemies, collecting keys and kits. WAY too complicated for a fun time. And you can’t skip the dialogue! Boo! The graphics are beautiful, but I don’t find any fun in the game. There was only one HO scene in the trial game. The rest was running around back and forth among three scenes. Yawn.
Horrible.

I haven’t played a game that was this wrong in a long time. It was boring. The maze puzzles were ridiculous. The other puzzles had no clear explanation on how to do them. No morphing objects. I found myself skipping dialogue and skipping puzzles. I was using hints for everything. The areas where you are suppose to find something was not clearly defined, I was poking clouds,ground and whatever to figure it out. The only thing that was good here was the teleportation map.
Disappointing

I bought the full version the night before and now the game doesn’t work at all. It continuously crashes and I can’t get to the next step. I would like my money back or at least credit to my account. This is actually the first game I have purchased and am very disappointed in the results.
Hated it, to fussy and no instructions
parks703
The mini games are either very fussy and/or have very little instructions. What instructions there are confusing or uninformative. For example, a fight scene and you’re suppose to punch, it didn’t tell you how to punch the bad guy. Another problem was with the HOP, they use a thin line to cross out the items, but you can barely see it. Should make it change colors or go dark. The fussiness is in using some of the items, they have to be positioned just right or it doesn’t work. I wish I hadn’t bought the game. I really hate it
