About the game

You slump into your chair after another day of investigations. Just as you start to lose yourself in the glow of the TV screen, the telephone rings. The museum curator needs your help - a tourist has gone missing. You smirk at his warning of paranormal goings-on; that's what Demon Hunters are for.

The value story

62 discounts in the 8 years on record, a median of 70 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

On value it sits in the top 23 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Adventure Escape Mysteries (free, scores 63) and Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan ($14.99, scores 70) both outscore it.

Worked fine, puzzles are okay, voice acting is awful, story is insipid but also wrong.

If you told me that this game was made as a satire of the hidden object puzzle game genre, it could be a work of art. The voice acting is comically terrible, and the story is not engaging. If you're looking for a fun and challenging game, it's not here. I bought this in a bundle, and I'm glad I did because asking $15 for this is insanity.

Good. Yeah, rather good. After the 4th game, which was absolute, irredeemable and unquestioned piece of garbage, I honestly didn't expect that this serie may recover and spawn anything adequate. However, this game managed to surprise. It reminds me another game from Brave Giant - 'Ghost files 2: Memory of a crime'. Here we also have a male protagonist, which is a rare thing for games of such genre. And this dude is...
