This has nothing to do with the former Art of Murder trilogy.
It's a totally different game that just uses its name. And it's bad... not worth the money.

Had hoped to play another brilliant case of Nicole Bonnet. I'm deeply diappoinnted.

Starts game.
Visits first HO scene.
Need to find a CAN. Ok... no biggie.
Clicks on two aluminum cans and one watering can repeatedly with no effect.
Ok... I'll come back to that.
Need to find a BUCKET.
Looks everywhere for a bucket. Clicks on a few candidates. Nothing.
In the meanwhile, the hideous and totally unnecessary sound of coil whine screeches in my ears through my headphones.
Turns off game.
Writes baffled review.

This is so bad in comparison to the previous episodes in the serie.
Just a poorly done HOG with NO voice acting and it's also very short

The game is broken indeed. The items you find might fail to "activate" when you click on them. Alas, you get stuck. Tried the two sites available in the beginning, both gave the same result. As the game handily remember your progress, such error ends your game advancement. Thumbs down.

Unlike "FBI Confidential", "Hunt for the Puppeteer" and "Cards of Destiny", this is no Point&Click adventure, but a collection of picture puzzles, tied together by a ... well... no, you can't call it "story".

I was only playing 2 to 3 hours and all of a sudden it was finished.

Below average even for a HOG. There's pointless hourglass timers on Hidden Object scenes, one of the scenes was far too dark and I could only find objects via hint - couldn't see them even when it showed exactly where they are.

No voice acting, not a lot of locations, inconsistent style.

Overall it's not worst hog I've ever played, it at least worked from start to finish and had a coherent story line.

I did not enjoy my experience with this game. Even though it doesn't take long to complete the time spent is not much fun. Basically the mechanics of the game were poor. It took a lot of trial and error to find the spots where you were supposed to click in spite of the decent graphics. I was forced to use a walkthrough provided by the publisher to solve some of the game's puzzles and still had problems getting through them. I feel there are far better games of this genre available.

Bad hidden object game.
The other Art of Murder series are much better.
The graphic is good.

Game breaking bug in the first HOG scene. very disappointing

This game won't run properly on Intel onboard graphics cards. So I ran it on my Nvidia card. My fans were running constantly all for this stupid, poorly designed game. I wasn't even able to finish it because of a flaw in the game.

Got almost to the end of the game until I reached a section involving gears that must be placed in a well and it will not allow you to make any mistakes. If you do, you're stuck and can't move on. Apparently, the developers know this, but don't care because there's a whole bunch of people who complained about this but there has never been a fix for it. Don't waste your time with this. Its a waste of money at any price.
