5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful graphics, eerie and elegant!, August 18, 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy (CD-ROM)
2009 is the bicentennial of the birth of Edgar Allan Poe in 1809 but it is his untimely and mysterious death in 1849 that has intrigued people ever since. The usually fastidious writer was found dressed in shabby clothes that did not fit, wandering in a delirium along the streets of Baltimore. He was taken to a hospital where he died four days later. What killed Edgar Allan Poe? Not what but who! This game says it was murder!

In "Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy", the player becomes a famed mystery writer who is an expert in solving cold cases. At the beginning of the game the player is haunted by the eerie and distraught and shackled ghost of Edgar Allan Poe who begs him to avenge his murder so that his soul can be set free. To discover the truth behind Poe's untimely death at age 40, and with the aid of a supernatural pocket watch, the player goes on a hidden-object adventure, seeking clues among macabre graveyards and becoming incorporated and integrated bodily right into Poe's most famous works, including The Mystery of Marie Roget and The Gold Bug. There's a conspiracy here, centered around and hidden within the stories.

So, you as detective -writer embark on this journey to crack the 160 year-old case. You'll find various objects, collect clues and talk with witnesses, to try and deduce who Poe's killer is. You must collect hundreds of objects, frequently combining them to perform a function and to reveal another hidden object. The hint mechanism is a marvelous black crow. He'll flap over the scene and find an object for you if you get stuck, but click too often on the wrong thing and a nasty one-eyed black hissy cat will appear.

The scenes are beautifully animated, with tree branches waving, water rippling, spitting raindrops, sullen autumn leaves blowing in a sullen sky- all wonderfully atmospheric. The art work is absolutely of the highest order and the music and sound effects are suitably macabre to make sure you have an immersive experience. The mini-games are interesting and not hard, being mostly intuitive.

With its highly original story line and the exceptional graphics, "Midnight Mysteries" is a class act. The game is quite easy, older kids can readily handle it; however, it will not bore adults. Recommended for all ages. Don't miss this beauty! (But I wish it were longer).

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just another H.O.G. but more.., October 18, 2009
By Renae W. (Florence, SC) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy (CD-ROM)
As I stated the game is not just another H.O.G, but it is very interactive as well. At first it may appear as a "Spooky, grave robbing tale", but as it unfolds, you are unfolding the mysteries in his novels. I don't personally own this game, but I have played it through. If you like murder, mysteries and just plain old " Whodunnit", this is the game for you.

This review is from: Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy (CD-ROM)
This game was quite entertaining and the story line was interesting but I found it to be very short. I did not feel it was worth the $19.99 I paid.
