Worst game ever created (should be cremated)

This so-called "game" is one of the worst [things] I've ever seen. [Bad] story, [bad] voice acting and badly rendered environment come with bad controls. Puzzles are [bad], no clues, you have to do lots of thing "just because". Every puzzle MUST be done in a strict order, otherwise you cannot proceed. To find items, you MUST check EVERY pixel on every scene. Avoid this "game" at all costs...

Just awful

The point of an adventure game is to string together clever puzzles using an innovative (or at the very least INTERESTING) story. The story will have clues as to how the puzzles can be solved. Though i know how difficult it is to come up with interesting and difficult pzzles, the designers of this game haven't stepped up to the challenge. Aside from theme, the puzzles have little to do with the story, by that i mean there's little in the story to actually help you progress in the game.

Seriously, I wouldn't recommend this game to adventure game fans. Sorry-

An average puzzle-adventure.

Typical puzzle type game--find items and use them to solve the puzzles. The puzzles themselves ranged in difficulty; some were easy, some not. One of the most difficult things was finding all the items needed to solve particular puzzles. Not all puzzles are intuitive. You can die in this game, as well. The story was not very exciting and the animation was clunky. Sherlock's voice was annoying, but play the game if you like puzzles.

thouroughly dissapointing

this game was horrible. often times you can't see items and there is nothing to indicate that something can be done with say a wall or a paiting unless you happen to try an object on it. You don't interact with charecters really at all. the only times you even see other charecters is once when a man comes in babbling nonesense, or at the end where the story still didn't make sense. things dissapear from your invetory and don't like to reappear. i had to start the game over three times. The puzzles are illogical and HARD. I was constantly looking for cheats. my opinion: this game is not worth two cents!

Not THAT bad

I found this game to be somewhat more interesting than the other reviewers gave it credit for. I agree that finding some of those teeny inventory items is next to impossible. Luckily, it was easy to find a walkthrough. However, I did find that this was relatively mindless entertainment. The only puzzle that required some thought was the Japanese puzzle, but not that difficult once you figure out the concept.

One of the dumbest games ever...

I bought this game about six months ago. I haven't finished it yet, mostly because it is so boring that I don't care to play it. I printed out a walkthrough, but they doesn't help much since there are so many sliders, and things that walkthroughs can't help with. There isn't one character to interact with during the whole game, and the music is really annoying!!!

Excellent Game

This is a good game with up to date graphics.
I hear people say they don't like how some of it is timed, but the thing is, you HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO WHAT YOU WANT.
and the firsy level that starts timing you is the 3rd level, and they give you 20 minutes to do a 5 minute job.

This game has a bunch of chalenging puzzles that will keep you going at this for a while.

Sometimes you may even need the internet =]
i did.
but bottom line is this game is REALLY good for fans of ancient egypt, puzzle game lovers, or people who like a challenge and have a lot of patience.

P.S. It may even scare you.

Don't bother

I am an avid adventure gamer--this one stinks. I got very tired of hunting for clues pixel by pixel for tools needed, trying to solve puzzles with no clear clues, and the puzzles are mindless. Save you money and go play Grim Fandago again.

actually surprisingly quite good

I own more than 20 adventure games and I've seen them all the good the bad and the ugly. Dreamcatcher games often fall in the latter category but this one is actually good. I am haflway through it but I am enjoying it. The puzzles are especially good, they make sense and are well thought compared with recent releases that are helping to kill the adventure genre through poor execution (mystery of the druids anyone)?
The graphics are so-so and I don't care too much about the sound either as long as the atmosphere is good, and this game does provide that.This should be enough for real adventure gamers (ever played Ripper? great atmosphere despite poor grpahics). So give it a try, don't worry this has little in common with tomb of the pharaoh or other mediocre adventure fare. Sherlock fans will likely enjoy this even more.

Turn Back Now, Before It's Too Late!!!

This game was not fun at all. It was so complicated that I could not finish it without using on-line help. Clues were not given at all. And many solutions were illogical and didn't follow the game plot. Even an avid strategy-game player, like myself, would be unable to solve the mystery alone. The game wasn't even fun because you needed help every step of the way. Don't waste your time or money on this game. It's not worth it.
