Forgot to post it, but our co-production with Lifetime, the Blood Ties hidden objects game, launched last weekend. It can be downloaded at http://www.iwin.com/download/1735991097897422338/blood-ties-game.

In Blood Ties, players help private detective Vicki Nelson solve a series of unexplained missing person cases that appear to be connected to a secret society. Is the connection real? Vicki thinks so; along with her friend Henry (a 450-year-old vampire) and assistant Coreen she searches the city to pick up more clues to the nature of these missing person cases. To assist Vicki, players investigate the crime scenes and unearth hundreds of items in beautiful and unique locations throughout the city.

Key Features of Blood Ties include:
-- Exploration of unique, immersive environments
-- Thousands of objects in over 15 locations
-- Solve perplexing missing persons cases
-- Discover the truth about the secret society
-- Characters and storyline inspired the Lifetime Television series

Looks terrific, has that spooky 'Ravenhearst' look to it (a good thing, since thats still the best HO game, I reckon).

Please let me know what thoughts anyone has for things we should do/change in a sequel.

I haven't played it, not being a hidden object fan, but the commentary I've seen on this game from reviews has mostly been not enough use of the brand - wanted more interaction with the show's characters and a better plot. I've gotten the impression some people felt disappointed by the ending, expecting there to be more to it. Especially being based on a book series, which might have expected better writing. :)

But, as I said, I haven't actually PLAYED it, this is solely gleaned from reading other people talking about it. I paid attention because I've actually read one of the Blood books...

Where is a good place to see reviews? I've seen some user comments on iWin, but that's really been it.
