 for only $ 13.99 USD!
Hi there. Today I will review the brand new Big Fish Game - Strange Cases: The Secrets of Grey Mist Lake. For now only collectors edition of this game was released, usual edition must become available in a month of so. We will start game review with the gameplay video.
As we may see, this is another game about ghosts, mysterious abandoned towns, missing friends and ancient curses. Graphics is traditionally good for Big Fish Hidden Object/Adventure/Puzzle games and so is music.
Strange Cases: The Secrets of Grey Mist Lake Main menu
Strange Cases: The Secrets of Grey Mist Lake is the third game of the Strange Cases series. The first part of this series - Strange Cases: The Tarot Card Mystery. It was released on Aug 2009. You are playing as FBI agent Claire Ellery. She's been called to a small strange town to find three girls, recently kidnapped there. Task isn't looks easy - nobody sends any ransom demands, there is no even smallest clues to the kidnapper. The local police doesn't happy to cooperate with you, looks like they are hiding something.

When you are completely stuck, someone begins leaving you various tarot cards as a clues, leading you to the missing girls. After long and hard searching you has been found missing girls and save them. Although many questions stood unsolved, the police quickly closed the case and sand you back to FBI headquarters. Game graphics was terrific for 2009, story and puzzles were good too. But the game was too easy and short for my taste - only about four hours of gameplay.
Strange Cases: The Secrets of Grey Mist Lake Screenshot 2
In May 2010 second part of Strange Cases - The Lighthouse Mystery was released. It was even more dark and twisted, then the first part. Storyline was build around mysterious woman with a blue pendant, possibly supernatural. Claire Ellery saw in her dream death of her partner, Tom, who also was FBI agent. Tom was working on a case of a missing scientist. Unfortunately, just the same thing happens in reality. Tom is dead. Police think that his death is suicide, but Claire didn't believe it.

Claire's investigation of his death transforms into search of clues left by Tom, investigating his own case. Soon Claire is finding out, that mysterious woman is guilty in her partner's death, trying to achieve unlimited power. Ready to be killed, Tom leaves trails to his future murderer, trails that Claire is going to follow. He wrote all needed info on the backs of illustrated cards and hide them throughout various locations ranging from his apartment and his office to an abandoned shack, an underground laboratory, a fallout shelter etc. Claire find them all and stop evil woman from attaining her dark goal. Gameplay and puzzles of this part was great and uneasy, sometimes even too uneasy. Some players even stuck without walkthrough or strategy guide.

In the third game, Strange Cases: The Secrets of Grey Mist Lake, Claire Ellery with her new partner is going to Alaska. This time she sent to investigate some strange case into the town of Grey Mist Lake. Suddenly on the nigh road appears ghost, trying to bypass it Claire loosing control and car falls from the cliff. When Claire regained consciousness, her partner has disappeared from the wrecked car, so she must find him.

She started to explore town of Grey Mist Lake, only spoken of in legends, trying to find out, what happened, why this town is filled only with ghosts and where is her partner? Your task is to help Claire save the day and uncover the hidden truth, lying beneath Grey Mist Lake. It won't be easy: quests and mini-games games in the third part of Strange Cases become even tougher, then in the second one, but that is why we have Strategy guide, integrated into gameplay. Stuck, can't find something? Use it.
Strange Cases: The Secrets of Grey Mist Lake Screenshot 6
Summing up, Strange Cases 3: The Secrets of Grey Mist Lake game is great. Story is interesting and twisted, graphics is good (for me, it's a little too dark - you won't see much light here, Sun - something you can only dream about). Music makes it's positive influence on The Secrets of Grey Mist Lake game atmosphere, there are lot of unexpected moments, some of them even can make you scream :). Scenario hasn't many connections with previous parts, so if you aren't played them - that will be no problem. If you like ghost stories, ghost towns and mysterious cases - Strange Cases 3: The Secrets of Grey Mist Lake is a good choice for you!

Every tower's floor was locked by the curse, so it wasn't easy to overwhelm all obstacles on your way to Iris. Moreover, on every floor you were entering the completely different world, each of them were really impressive.Your time was limited - mysterious darkness was approaching the tower, trying to consume it. Game was beautiful and unusual, a real break-through for Adventure games of that time (September 2009).

A year later, in September 2010 second Drawn game was released. The game name is Drawn®: Dark Flight ™. It continues the story of the painted worlds, with the same visuals and atmosphere. After escaping the painted tower in the finale of the first game Iris's troubles didn't ends. A princess was pursued by evil king and your task was to stop him and to save the princes.

Exploring the Kingdom of Stonebriar was really exciting. Your archenemy, as in the first part, were the shadows that prowl its streets of the kingdom and threatening to consume it completely. You were bringing the light to the shadows, destroying them. Just like in the first game, you were meeting various characters, some of them were your friends, others tried to stop you.

To restore light and peace in the kingdom and bring a future queen back to a people your main objective was to solve the mysteries of the three beacons. Game was even more interesting then the first one - not the single tower but the whole kingdom laid before you. And now, one more year later, third Drawn game - Drawn 3: Trail of Shadows was released.

Graphically Drawn 3: Trail of Shadows is even better than previous parts. This third part opening the gate of unknown for us: we will know more about the creation of this painted world. His creator - a genius boy, that painted the whole world and bring it to life with his art magic. We will know more about the mysterious darkness, that was the threat to the Drawn world. Trail of Shadows is the prequel of the first and second games. Now you are acting many years before the events of The Painted Tower and Dark Flight.

Shadows are scattering all paintings and destroying them, trying to stop the boy, that created Drawn 3: Trail of Shadows world, from his godlike achievement. So you must find those shadows on the paintings and destroy them to save a boy with the power to create painted worlds. It won't be easy, byt if you fails - whole Kingdom of Stonebriar will be destroyed and the events of The Painted Tower and The Dark Flight won't happen. Ever.

Drawn 3: Trail of Shadows game is unusual and, if I may say, very kind. You are traveling through the beautiful kingdom, exploring it and relishing. Storyline is interesting, gameplay isn't boring too. Collector's edition of Drawn: Trail of Shadows includes bout two hours of bonus gameplay, additional artwork (very nice pictures) and screensavers. It isn't much, but as far the Usual edition of the game isn't available, we have no choice, aren't we?

What I may say in the end? There is two category of people: first likes those creative games, second - no. I belong to the first category and love this beautiful piece of art. So if you liked what you saw in the video and screenshots of Drawn 3: Trail of Shadows Collector's Edition - play it, and you won't regret it. Good luck!
