Hello, my friends. Today we will reviewing newest Hidden Object game from Big Fish Games Publisher - Haunted Manor: Queen of Death. It's the second part of Haunted Manor game series. It isn't hard to understand from the game name, that Haunted Manor games are dedicated to the ghost thematics. And traditionally let's watch gameplay video.
Nice graphics, lots of ghosts and Hidden Objects... Must be interesting, let's take a closer look. Haunted Manor 2: Queen of Death is the second part of Haunted Manor game series. Although main storyline of the first and second parts are practically not connected together, the only unity for them - ghost thematics.
First part of the game was called Haunted Manor: Lord of Mirrors. It was long and interesting Hidden object game (includes 17 chapters + additional bonus chapter in Collector's edition). Game was wonderfully re-playable - list of hidden objects to find was always different for the same room for different players, after completion of a few puzzles you may skip one next puzzle, some puzzles may be reset by leaving and reentering the room. Hints were unlimited. All those advantages are present in the second part too.
In Haunted Manor 1 your avatar was Stan Riddle, who explored an abandoned house, full of ghosts. When our protagonist finding the giant mirror in the wall, he realizes that he look not in his own eyes, but in the eyes of some evil mystical creature. Those creature - Lord of Mirrors - suddenly attacks Stan and his soul was trapped into some diabolic realm. There are lot of likewise imprisoned, poor souls who has lost all hope to break away from this hell.
You were interacting with your environment by many various ways, solving complicated puzzles, while in the end finding the way to defeat Lord of Mirrors and escape from the cursed Haunted Manor. Creep factor in the game was strong enough to make your heart beat faster. Now let's finally talk about sequel - Haunted Manor: Queen of Death.

Summing up, Haunted Manor: Queen of Death Collector's Edition is a great game about ghosts and demons. It's not a masterpiece and in a few years it may be forgotten. But for today it's a very good game and I may recommend it for every Hidden Object lover.Rating: 4.5/5
