32 of 35 people found the following review helpful AMAZING GAME, By Mike Silverman (Milford, MA) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials [Download] (Software Download) This is a fantastic adventure and hidden-object game. You are an investigator of the supernatural. The ghost of the famous author Nathaniel Hawthorne ( who was born and raised in Salem Massachusetts and is in reality related to one of the Judges who oversaw the actual Witch Trials) appears before you suddenly begging you to help him escape the chains of injustice that have bound him to the earth by searching out the truth behind the infamous Salem Witch Trials.This is a beautifully constructed game with very detailed scenes that have animated movement, the flicker of candelight , the moving of clouds overhead, eerie sound effects, and even many of the items you search for are themselves in motion or animated in some way. There are plenty of hints available during the game in case you get stuck, and no timer or time limit on searching for items, which lets you advance at your own pace. This is a huge game, expanding to over 400 megabytes, which enhances its...

Contrary to another reviewer`s observations that you can't save your game, of course you can! Simply press menu, then exit and the game will remember and take you precisely to that spot when you return. The opening scenes of frenetic screeching witch hunters and a girl about to be hanged get you in the mood, and the wonderful hint mechanism, the raven, returns again to flap across the moon to locate objects you can't find. Click in too much of a frenzy you get a hissy black cat instead of the raven and the cat won't go away until you stop your nervous clicking on the wrong objects. The hints by the raven, however, are very limited so you're just going to have to find all the objects listed.The ghost of famous New England author Nathaniel Hawthorne asks you for help as his spirit is chained and he implores...

Per the other review complaining about saving his progress, I had no problem saving my progress. I played the game over several days with my son, and we both loved it. It's gameplay is similar in format to the MCF Dire Grove game (the most highly rated HOG game on Amazon downloads). It combines hidden object, solving mini puzzles and requires the player to combine inventory items to move forward through obstacles. The story is interesting, filled with accurate historical facts and some fictional components to further the story. The game is challenging, but not frustrating. You are required to go back and forth between locations to solve each chapter in this series. The hint system is quite good. If you get stuck and aren't sure how to move forward, your "journal" usually has the clue. I did resort to internet cheats a couple of times. I could not recommend this game any more!! If you loved Dire Grove, you should enjoy this game. |
