Hello, my dear friends. Today we will discuss newest Big Fish Game - Haunted Halls 2: Fears from Childhood Collector's Edition. As usual for collector's editions, this is Hidden Object, Puzzle, Adventure game. Some of you may remember the beginning of it's story from the first part of this game series - Haunted Halls: Green Hills Sanitarium. But before we will talk about game, let's first watch gameplay video.

I may say, graphics and gameplay were impressively improved from the first part of the game. Graphics is perfect for casual games, sometimes (specially in game videos) is looks like first-class horror movie, not a game. Disturbing music contributes to the gloomy atmosphere.

For those who missed it: Haunted Halls 2: Fears from Childhood continues the story of Haunted Halls: Green Hills Sanitarium. In Green Hills Sanitarium you was exploring a decrepit mental asylum and was looking for your missing boyfriend. You found out, that some twisted experiments happening at the asylum, your boyfriend, Tim, find out it first and made an investigation of his own. As Tim dives deeper and deeper into the mystery, his messages to you was  abruptly stop coming. So your task was to find him. You found out, that evil Dr. Blackmore was after all of this, you saved the prisoners of mental asylum. But your friend Tim was dropped into the portal by Dr. Blackmore and your task in the Haunted Halls 2 - follow him, safe him and finally stop Blackmore! But where the portal leads?

Imagine: you are a child, that lays in a soft bed, peaceful and quiet. But then you are hearing some strange sounds from under the bed... You are looking there and seeing BIG RED EYES staring at you!!!
Or while you are asleep, wardrobe is opening and some dark figure coming out from it. Shadow is coming closer... And closer... This is the monster that comes after you!
You are talking with your friends and simultaneously writes a letter on your notebook. In one moment you realize, than nobody answers on your talking. You turn around and seeing, that your friends are slowly and silently coming to you. And there is something wrong with their faces...

Or maybe you are in the bathroom, under the shower, you are hearing your mother voice, humming some funny song from the other room. But suddenly you are hearing her screaming and then - only silence. You are coming out from the bathroom and seeing your dead parents on the floor, covered in blood...
Or after classes you take your time packing your stuff and stay the last one in the class. You leaving it and saw, than there is no one in the corridor, and the silence is complete. Тhе sun is down and there is darkness behind the windows. And then light bulbs starts turning off, first in the far end of the corridor, and then closer, closer... You are running to the exit, but there is no chance to escape. And you already can hear someone's steps in the dark...

You are coming home after school, happy to see your parents, but what is that? They are feeding an unfamiliar boy, kissing him and saying, that they loving their only son so much! And then they are throwing you away from your home and saying not to pretend that you are know them anymore.
Maybe once after classes you make a wrong turn and get lost. That's a dusk already, and the street you are on is absolutely empty, all doors are closed, windows are boarded up. You are going further and with the last sun beams you can see, that street ends and you are entering on the old cemetery. Moon has shown and in the moonlight you can see that ground on the burials is start to shake and move, like someone is trying to escape from the graves. And no one can hear your screams!!!

That's what Haunted Halls 2: Fears from Childhood about. Worst fears, nightmares, that you can even imagine, come true in this horrifying game. Dr. Blackmore build the world, where the worst fears become the reality, to study fear influence on his patients. And the portal from the end of original Haunted Halls game was leading to this world of nightmares. So your task is to help these poor children to defeat their nightmares, converting them into pleasant dreams. Then you must find, where evil Dr. Blackmore is (look carefully for the evidence, leading to his lair) and defeat him to prevent from creating new mad worlds and experiments. You are also must to find your friend Tim and help him (and yourself) to return home from this crazy Realm.

 As you may see, story of Haunted Halls 2: Fears from Childhood is pretty interesting and exciting: theme of helping to mentally ill by defeating their nightmares isn't popular in game development. Storyline realized very good, gameplay is exciting and striking - you are making comedy from the horrible nightmares.

Collector's edition of Haunted Halls 2: Fears from Childhood includes set of additional features, traditional for Big Fish Games Collector's editions:
1. Integrated strategy guide. Some quests are tough and not everyone will be able to beat them, so Strategy guide may be useful. For usual hidden object scene problems there are hints available, and that will be enough.
2. Bonus gameplay. In collector's edition there is some new quests to complete and new children to help. Few hours of additional pleasure guaranteed.
3. Wallpapers, concept art, screensavers. Standard set for any Collector's edition.
4. Soundtrack from the game. As I said before, music here is really intense and nice, but only three tracks? IMHO, too few.

It may appears strange, but I strongly recommend this game for children. It will shows them, that all fears are illusive and defeating them will help to set their lifes right. But it's also very interesting for adults too. F.e., I really loved it. So try this game, it will catch you for a long time. Good luck!
