Those new to mystery games will find themselves hitting the hint button alot, though the game is friendly to new players since any puzzle can be skipped or the hint button can be hit if stuck. Cant get lost because there is a map highlighting where an object of importance is to continue the story. The Hidden Object Puzzles can be very difficult, there are things that can be moved on screen in the puzzles, meaning you just need to click everything to see what moves if there is an item behind it since there is no cursor change. Due to the games age many objects are difficult to spot due to them being very small or the detail is so low they cant be clearly seen. During puzzles it may ask to find a heart, or a knife, but there will be tons of hearts or knives meaning finding some arbitrary one. Other times objects are just named wrong such as saying "darts" but there are none instead there is a dartboard you click instead. There are not many full on Halloween games on steam so this is worth trick or treating it up.Rating: 7\/10 Value: $2.99. Didn't see that this game wasn't supported for Windows 10 until after I'd installed and tried to play it. None of the videos would play, the sound is low even though I had it turned all the way up, and some of the gameplay graphics were glitchy. Pity, it looked right up my alley.. I really enjoyed this game and would definitely recommend it, the only problem is that I don't think I could play it again for quite a while as I know the story too well. 10 ghosts, 8 friends, 1 disgruntled girl friend who plays at being a witch, and a Jumanji-like game board all on Halloween night, as if this would not cause enough trouble even in real life, let alone on an acclaimed haunted farm. Story: Dylan is invited to a Halloween party of friends by her girlfriend Samantha (with special interest falling on Parker, the unrequited love). While Dylan is taking a phone call from her concerned mother all her friends are sucked in the Jumanji-like game board. (I personally do not think Miss Disgruntled (Dylan's girlfriend, Samantha) actually realized the game board was haunted by the ghosts of a previous tragedy. The "haunted" game board simply recognized similar natures, and history repeats.) Simple enough story line.NOTE: I really like the opening where the car headlights light up the pumpkin from behind before the car is seen and drives past.NOTE 2: Safety announcement: Please do not talk on your cell phone while driving even if it is your mom calling.Of all the reviews I read, good and bad, after I played the game I only have this to say: This is an old school Hidden Object game. This is how they all used to be when actual story lines were first being introduced and being refined. The games centered on the Hidden Object scenes, with the occasional pick up of inventory items to be used later or to solve some puzzle. The games were not as strictly linear as they are now, but had a more "open world" feel with "bottle necks". The games were also not nearly as "hand-holding" as they are now. The gamer had to think and OMG guess about what had to be done, plus click everywhere. Yes it was and is annoying and frustrating but that is partly what made the game challenging, out thinking the game\/developers. Being a fool for old school this was a really refreshing game for me to play. Very different puzzles and needing a completely different mind set compared to more recent and HD graphic "hand-holding" games of today. One of the complaints centered on the half-completed objects in the hidden object scenes. Well all I can say to that is you got what you clicked (Do remember this game was made before 3D was standard, so the objects were drawn in, not overlayed.) The actual puzzles of this game include suduko, logic, slide, matching, "minesweeper" among many other types. This game includes a vast and usually unseen variety of puzzles compared to the color, sound, and match fare of today. So no crying about how hard the puzzles are, expand your repertoire. If you want a challenging game and are bored with the standard fare of today, try yesteryear (in game time 2 years is like 2 centuries). This game overall is quite challenging. No penalties for hints which I had almost forgotten about being so used to today's games where there are penalties for hints, map use, and misclicks. Hints were standard fare in old school and the gamer was expected to use the hint button... a lot, as well as be click "happy". Guides and YouTube did not exist then like they do now. Old school games did not have (or require) achievements, in-game or later the all important steam achievements. They especially did not require trading cards to even be considered playable. So if as a gamer one is looking for those things, this game has none of that. So welcome to the adult version of "Highlights" and enjoy what made the games of today what they are today.. Game is too badly glitched to finish and many game breaking commonly experienced issues appear to just be left to drag on and keep repeating for years rather than being fixed by the developers.. This is a weird one. I remember liking it but it being a bit annoying. I'm reccomending it but get it on sale.. Encore support say the game is not supported on windows 10. It seems the game parts of it do work, just not the movie parts, which is enough to leave you clueless about the story. Refund time.. Overall, I thought this was a pretty decent P&C\/HOG. However... ...I did experience multiple technical\/gameplay issues including; game regularly required multiple launch attempts before playing, wouldn't reset my display from game resolution to my normal resolution after exiting (I had to do so manually after each session), no video (audio only) for second cutscene, one crash (w\/o any progress loss), inconsistent mouseover behavior in hidden object puzzles for multi-step items, one hidden object item misspelling, and a couple hidden object items with active area in a different location than image. I was playing this on Linux Mint 18 (Wine\/PlayOnLinux). But I play a lot of Windows only games on this OS and rarely encounter this number\/variety of issues. That being said......I didn't find those issues all that distracting given the positives this game has to offer; good graphics, decent art, good story, plenty of game, above average hidden object game difficulty, decent voice acting, and a map with current location - next available action - and quick transport. If it had played without the issues, I wouldn't hesitate in giving it a straightforward recommend. But as it is, I recommend getting it on sales to help make up for the issues it does have.PS I almost exclusively play offline. I typically only play online long enough for Steam to allow me to write a review. So Steam only shows that I played 0.1 hrs as of the time of this review, although I've played at least 6 hrs and have completed the game.
