How Did I not Know About Domini Before?

Lady3Eye

So, this is about the eighth game I have played of Domini’s and I cant believe how they make such good games every time and how I only discovered them a little over five months ago after being a huge HOG player for years! They really are a superb game company. In this game/episode, you again play a woman who can put on these special glasses and see psychically into the past. This time, she is dealing with a witch. What I absolutely adore about the games besides the great artwork and storyline and games, Domini always puts that extra something in. In this one, the pages of a book get scattered and you have to find them throughout the game. Each one has a cool drawing and some witchy thing like a broomstick as well as a description of the item. They do this cool step in many of their games and I LOVE IT. It makes the game so much more interesting and immersive. Thanks again Domini for a killer game! Keep em coming, PLEASE!

Enjoyable

Nice game, but not very intricate. Too easy to learn. I dislike the mini games and like the hint and skip times to be shorter to avoid them.

Enjoyable

Worth playing. I like the fact you can choose many levels to start with and different levels within the puzzles.

Pretty nifty

No pet found

The story line was pretty much the same as most games of this sort but the game itself was fun

Awful and unplayable

I wanted a hidden object game, but this is some kind of role playing task-based nonsense. Awful like most of the big fish games over the past few years. Awful.

I don’t get it??

I don’t understand how these iOS games keep getting 5 stars. There is not one that is not just a revamp of a desktop game and it is very rare that one is even close to original. This one is certainly no exception. It almost as if the developers cut and pasted the puzzles and missing objects from one game with a stupid story to another with even a worse story. I have purchased several games throughout the COVID scare to pass the time and was happy to see that most games were only $3 for the end of the year sale. I’m certainly glad I didn’t pay full price for this one! Until I see some games, or even A game, that is not a 5 year old game claiming to be new, I’m done with big fish. I’m tired of being one of the 25 million suckers!

Mystery Tales: Keeping my Eye on this game

3.5 stars bumped down to 3 Decent enough offering from Domini Games. Story is not original but the pace moves along briskly so boredom doesn't set in. Colorful graphics, not quite in keeping with the witchy theme. You get an interesting tool in the form of glasses which allow you to look into the past and interact with scenes from the past. Heads up that they do like to have things flying out at you from the screen! Custom mode of play, transportable map, notebook, collectible morphing medieval torture devices, tarot cards and pages from a diary which get scattered early in the game. Try it and see if it's your cup of tea! Upcoming Games from Big Fish Games: (# stars is average review on BigFishGames.com for the PC or Mac version, date is the day the game was first released on any platform - usually PC or Mac) Ominous Objects: Lumina Camera (3.7 stars, Daily Magic, Aug.

Eye of fire - meh not quite red hot but definitely warm

Feels a bit dated, slight lag between scenes, storyline and characters could use some serious fleshing out. Artwork is decent but morphing objects (inquisition torture items) can be difficult to spot. I feel sorry for the witches. Written from inquisition point of view. All that aside- you have special glasses to view certain areas with so you can interact with the past. Finding gold tarot cards to collect also. Has match 3 option for hop. Decent map. Verdict: worth playing but not spectacular

This "Tale" is NOT "More Than Meets the 'Eye'"!

Behold the scornful and cunning witch who returns to seek revenge for being burnt at the stake some centuries long ago! The setting is typically foreboding and menacing as you travel around a dusky and forsaken village, which is haunted by the spirit of a wicked witch. The graphics are mediocre in quality and presentation; they appear slightly fuzzy, which diminishes the clarity of details. The color spectrum is overflowing with effulgent and luminous tinctures radiating out from the dusky and tenebrous background. You can customize your settings. The inventory is labeled, interactive, and highly puzzle-like; many mini-sized puzzles are embedded within the inventory close-ups. The teleport map allows for fluid travel to labeled locations and indicates available actions; you can choose the option to enable the collectible indicator. The task book solely records collected reading materials, such as notes and letters, and updated tasks. Non-map transition between scenes is brisk; however, transition moving into and coming out of the cut-scenes is clunky. The HOS's comprise assorted fashions, and they are creatively executed to spark your imagination. I love the one where you first find x-ray-like items by their silhouette shape; then, a word list initiates. You can choose a preferred difficulty setting for some of the puzzles, even though they are mainly elementary in nature and offer no real challenge. I did enjoy the pool game though! You have several sets of collectibles to discover, including in the close-ups. Make sure you find all of the Tarot Cards so you can unlock a corresponding game in the Extras. Gotta love that Torture Chamber! In summation, this is better than the last disaster--not by much though. The coveted components that we desire, such as custom settings, are incorporated; however, the storyline is both unexciting and rehashed since it does not introduce any new ideas. Furthermore, I wish that the puzzles in the harder mode were a bit more elevated in complexity. Moreover, I found the touch sensitivity regarding inventory usage to be a bit glitchy when acquiring and placing items. Finally, your journey is quite beeline-oriented because no more than a few scenes are open simultaneously; there's not much back and forth. Overall, it's just not knocking my socks off. My true rating is 3.5 stars, but I bumped it down to 3 stars.

Pretty simple, but I like it

There's not a lot challenging things to do in the game, but I've enjoyed the introductory game. It had a couple of HO scenes and a couple of really simple tasks. The free selection was over rather quickly, which suggest the game may be short, too. It's in my list to buy right now, but I want to look on the net for its length and other reviews. I just checked the reviews for the computer version. First observation: that version is only $2.99, a dollar less than the iPad version. Why? Do they think iPad people have more money? I certainly don't. Second observation: it IS short. It has 6 chapters. The free selection was chapter 1. It took me, at most, a half hour to complete. If the other chapters are the same, I'll get maybe 3 hours of play. Too short for the price.
