Dark Parables: Curse of Briar Rose Collector's Edition

(I will only comment on the game itself. There is a Bonus Chapter, but unfortunately I am unable to play as the game no longer starts up for me. It already had trouble launching, and would take two-five tries to actually start up the game and now it gave up entirely. Welp... At least I finished the Main Story.) A much darker version of the Sleeping Beauty story (or should I say... Way closer to how the original is). Graphics are fine as they are for a much older game, and even though there is no map... Navigation isn't that bad. I only got lost 5x and even then I found some places by accident... So it all works out. The game has some Mini-Games, which were actually THOUGHT out and although there is one that's repeated... It's freaking fun to try and figure it out! I really miss when Developers gave two sheets about their games... Sigh. Anywho. The main thing in here are the H.O. scenes... Which require you to find "pieces" of an object and make a whole one. The pieces sometimes ARE tiny, but I can actually SEE them... Unlike some games... Where you gotta play with a damn microscope! Story was fine and you have like 14 other games in the series, all based on Fairy Tales. That's awesome. I look forward to the rest. I enjoyed/relaxed with it to the max. Almost. Too bad about the Bonus Game. Oh well. Thanks you nonetheless!! :) :> :D

Early effort from Big Fish. This game is a mix of inventory puzzles and HOs. Very few minigames. The HOs are the type where you have to find the shards of an item and rather than the standard list of items to find. The HOs get more difficult as the game goes on. There is no map and no hints within the main game, though you can have a hint when doing the HOs and minigames. You are penalized by losing the ability to get a hint for 5 minutes. No map in this game, but there is a diary that gives a few little hints on what to do. At one point, you find a quick travel portal that allows you to jump between two locations. There are a LOT of rooms and locations, but they are easy to clear as they only have one or two clickable items. The game is pretty linear meaning even if you didn't look up a walkthrough, you would still be following the walkthrough. Music is really interesting and doesn't get annoying. The story is also top notch as you play a detective investigating fairytales to get at the truth behind them. Interesting concept. Hoping these games improve with time.

The first game in the series that got me hooked. I am biased because I love retellings of fairy tales. The later games are better but for the time it came out (I played it twice, once from Bigfish and again on Steam), it was great. Fun hidden object game with puzzles.

Simples fácil mas gostoso de jogar, recomendo.

I absolutely love this game! I played it when I was younger so it's really nostalgic for me. I love the twist on the classic Briar Rose/ Sleeping Beauty story. Highly recommend this game series

Dark Parables: Curse of Briar Rose successfully interprets the classic story of Sleeping Beauty but puts its spin on things in order to provide a fresh look at its narrative. There’s nothing terribly wrong with this HOPA but in terms of story, you feel more could have been done with the source material. The concept of these classic stories existing in reality to be investigated is intriguing but the story plays out in a fairly pedestrian manner which may send a few players to sleep themselves.

this game is amazing. i will play this series for my whole life if i can.

This came up as a small screen and I couldnt enlarge it.

very easy hidden objects game with gorgeous scenery
