Interesting game which keeps you on the rails for the majority of the game. There are some good puzzles that do take some thought before that 'aha!' moment. A lot comes down to conversational puzzles where you do need to select the correct response. Sometimes this is very obvious and some more vague but helps the story progress nicely.
The absolute standout is the voice acting of the characters which is top notch. The visuals are bright, colourful and very pleasing. Camera controls consist of rotating the camera but it's not too bothersome.
The story itself was engaging and the game felt it was long enough by the time it finished. Recommended

Everything you loved about the first game is super-sized and expanded upon in this one. There is a serial killer out there with a bounty for the person who catches them and Kathy is up to the task, mainly to pay her bills. Where is goes from there...well, nothing is as simple as it seems.
This is adventure gaming at it's most authentic with vast inventories, combining to solve puzzles and unlock some fiendishly difficult achievements. The voice acting is fabulous and the music creates an addictive mood, never becoming irritating.
The story and characters are where it is at and very reminiscent of the Gabriel Knight and Phantasmagoria series - all very welcome.
I cannot wait to see a third outing, and my congrats to the development team for exceeding the original. Grab a cup of tea or coffee, sit back, grab that mouse and enjoy

Borderline fun. There is an addictiveness of finding the right key for the right door located somewhere in a mansion. There is a plot but really does not serve a purpose other than to lightly frame what you are doing at the mansion. If you like escape rooms then this will hit the mark. I was annoyed I accidentally clicked one fork in the road at the end of the game and then could not go back, only to restart the game again. A lot of potential but just misses the mark

I absolutely adored this game. It's a game that really rewards you for listening to your patrons, dissecting their version of events, and then piecing together whodunnit. It's a great game to play on a cold winter night with a cup of cocoa at hand. The light jazz music perfectly accompanies the mood whilst the characters are incredibly well written, so you feel that connection with them. I was actually sad when I got to the final case, knowing it was almost over but it is good the game does not overstay its welcome either. It is a game with a high volume of text (visual novel style) so if that is not your bag then perhaps it may not be for you but for everyone else it is a treat!
I sincerely hope there is a sequel or perhaps a spinoff in a different settting even. Freakin well done!

Excellent game so far. Love the Tetris-medieval theme. Great to pick up and put down and revisit again and again

Hmm, this would get a sideways thumb if I could but just falls into the thumbs down category for now. Compared to the previous three outings this one is a bit of a mess with the story not as engaging and the integration of the hidden objects a little slap dash. Ultimately it comes down to bouncing from location to location, getting through the puzzles until the credits roll which really is not a fun experience. Is this the end of the series? Perhaps it should be for now

A little more creepier than the previous two games, some challenging puzzles on Expert mode, but does end abruptly. Still good and a solid 6 out of 10

After the first outing of Endless Fables, where you dealt with a minotaur through the usual means, now you are in a world of Odin, Loki and The Kraken doing pretty much the same thing. Hidden collectibles have been made easier to find with a 'light' system (have you found everything? The light will go off when you do) and does really help with some challenging finds along the way. Overall the story is thin but the journey of finding objects is what makes these games charming and for the most part it works well.

So far so good. A very cinematic game that thrusts you into the past and explore locations, like the University, like never before. Runs smooth as silk too, even on High settings

Beautiful graphics, playing on High settings. Once you get into the open world part of the game it does remind you of the previous installments. Do the side quests to enhance your experience too
