A year has passed since the events of Maple Creek. But for the past few months, our detective has been hot on the trail of the demonic preacher she fought one year ago. Yet he has managed to always stay one step ahead. She hoped to bring an end to the chase in the redwood forests of Northern California. But like so many times before, the trail went cold… And all clues led into nearby Ravenwood Park…

As somebody who doesn't typically play Point-and-click games, I enjoyed this game a lot. I was definitely playing the game just to see the story unravel, and i did get bored at times but i used the hint button to push my way through that. If you're a big fan on point-and-click games, you need to play this. & even if you aren't, you still should play it

I really enjoy these point and click games, this one is easy with creative fun little puzzles ... I enjoyed the story-line, the achievements too and the images are beautiful, I have completed the first one and still have to do the third, they are worth the collection.
I recommend it!

I recommend the entire trilogy! The story is good and gets better with each game

It's a great improvement over the first episode.
But it's better to play the first for the continuity of the story.

This game is a definitive improvement over the first in every regard except for ambient atmosphere tho the scare factor is more noticeable now that you are actively hunted by the raven mist demon in some segments

Enigmatis 2: The Mist of Ravenwood was released in 2013. Viewing the store page, I think it seems pretty obvious how popular this game was based on its Overwhelming Positive rating in reviews. It could easily be deduced that this game, among the few, racked up gametime and was bought by players.
Introduction tries to be scary and ominous, which for seasoned players, may not be as scary anymore. But that does not negate the build up done for this story: a detective in search of a demonic preacher, unveiling the secrets in the Ravenwood Park that felt ominously suspicious. That alone is still considered a great build up for the story, with its prime intent of being mysterious.
Inside the game, the characters has 3D models. Not much to say about that one. You could lock your inventory or not, according to your choice. Fast travel via map is also allowed, but the map in this game simplify the areas so one place will be in one section of the map. This may become confusing to other casual players as it's more than helpful if the map made it per area and not per section. There's no indicator for collectibles and some are actually pretty hard to spot. In fact, I missed one in my first playthrough, but it wasn't much of an issue to me.
There is also a section in the game where one character tells the backstory of the owner of the Ravenwood Park, and then the plot twist that comes after it. I will not say much and will omit a lot of the details but it was sure still a shock to me as to how the twist was unveiled. When this aforementioned character explains the story, you can go back to the dialogues as there is a screen of selection to it. It's nice of them to provide the ability to the user as there was really a lot of dialogues from the backstory told.
I enjoyed the 4 hours I had with this game, 3 hours for the main game and another hour for the detailed extra story. I believe this game would garner a 7.5/10 for my personal scale and a sure recommend. Ominous, mysterious, and a classic game installment for the series. Can't wait to play the third game after I post this review.

Recommend: buy at heavy discount due to hours of gameplay, good story-based HOG
The second series of Enigmatis is much better than the first including a more complex story, several unexpected twists to the story, and a map where you can jump from place to place,. The evidence gathering and HOS are very similar to the first, but feel much more connected to the game. The placement and repetition of HOS felt more story based so I wasn't having to look at the map to know where to go next. The artwork, music and background remain beautiful and eerie.
The illusive objects were fun to spot and cleverly done, fitting with the the theme of a park with illusions. The ethereal butterflies were just white butterflies. I collected them all for the achievement, but I didn't feel they fit with the story.
All that being said, the hours of game play compared to other games don't justify its non discounted price. I played twice several years apart and got 15 hours of game play and I like to take my time rather than rush around.
