Good story and clear to follow. Don't need much going back in past screen and can just keep going. Many different puzzles to do and all is nice.

Enjoyed the vampire vibes immensely. I really loved how the game gives you an investigation partner and refers to the player. It's more immersive than playing as an Artifex Mundi character. I was pretty impressed with the historical background of the game. While it's obviously fictional and fun, it's based on historic documentation of vampire hysteria in 18th century Serbia and uses the real people mentioned as characters. I looked at pictures online of Kisilova today and a lot of the art looks similar. The puzzles were difficult for me and I ended up skipping most of them. I'm glad that is an option and that's why I like these games. TONS of hidden object action. If you are here for hidden object, this is the one for you.

I really liked this one. It flows somewhat differently than other HoG games, while still remaining familiar.

This is an old hidden object puzzle game, that bases itself on a story about vampire attacks on a small town. It's straight forward and engaging. The art is of it's time but it's very pretty, the characters are quite b movie in their deliveries which may make you laugh occasionally.
However the art is a bit fuzzy and can make getting the hidden items difficult, it's short like allot of these games so you will blast through it.
Overall this is a nice game if you like Gothic horror and vampires, and a simple hidden object game to play between other genres (I find it quite a good idea to space out games). Although take advantage of the sale price!

Histories with vampires is something I like, so right off the bat this was pretty good before it had even started. With the limited time the main game lasts, it's quality over quantity, all though a bit easy. In fact the bonus history and game lasted as long as the main game, or even longer! Compared to the main game it was a bit frustrating, because it was less story, more guessing, and simply chaotic. I came to a point where I just wouldn't spend more time guessing...I had in fact come far, but I started hitting the hint button, which is normally a tabu for me.
All over, the game was fine, but I enjoyed the main game for the story (it was exciting), but I only liked the bonus for how it ended. That is by no means any spoiler. It's a bit unusual.
For once I played one of these games, not having to focus on doing achievements. No collectibles either, and I was able to complete the game as I went a long with the story.
I think you should get this game on a sale, it's a bit short, and the bonus wasn't really that amusing.

A bit old-school, but still worth it if you're into hidden object games and vampire lore fs.

Excellent game and story! A little dated, but you won't notice that at all once you get in to the story line. The bonus chapter is long and a great story too. Don't hesitate if it's on sale.
