[PC] Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate (2007)

How:
Being a fan of Mystery Case Files (essentially Dire Grove and The 13th Skull), didn't think twice when a new offer came up on Bigfish.

Pros:
- Very good graphics in a nicely disturbing setting
- Some interesting Rube Goldberg-like puzzles close each level
- Fun ending twist linking to the Ravenhearst game
- Good voiceover for Madame Fate
Cons:
- A neverending, yet possibly pleasant HOG with a few rooms and frequently recurring items
- The word games can get really tedious
- Few motivations: you, the detective, find yourself in a mysterious amusement park

[PC] Hollywood Monsters (1997)

Pros:
- Nice opening music
- Very nice character animations and general look-and-feel
- Good voiceovers in general
- Some good jokes
Cons:
- Background graphics quality is generally really mediocre and clashes with the otherwise good characters and rooms
- Some annoying characters and stupid humour
- Terrible puzzle design, basically every puzzle is inventory based and there are dozens of items at any given time with no hint on their usage whatsoever
- Frustratingly impossible to play without a walkthrough
- Some annoying reflex puzzles
