The Ghost Archives: Haunting of Shady Valley

This game doesn't flow and it's a waste of money. ... it's crap

Great game. No time limit & hint button very helpful

Story ends abruptly and unexpectedly. Difficult to get into but with persistence you'll be able to. Lots and lots of hidden objects but each scene only needs 6 objects found. Graphics are fair. No real map to use to get around, rely on hint which recharges fairly quickly. Overall, not a bad game.

It's a bit dark. Makes things kinda hard to see... Also feels like the hit button is in the way. Had to zoom in a few times to get the items I needed. Otherwise overall good game so far

Quick update. Just played the demo again. Game runs better than before but still lags between scenes. Google play flashing constantly is still extremely trying. Still didnt think cost for the full game wasnt good value - inventory/find bar so in the way of screen & objects. Ho hum :/ It could be a fab game. Especially like the way you only pick up objects when needed so the gameplay is ver logical. Story is interesting and the graphics, while not very polished, have character and I like the scene designs. I probably wont pay the £4.95 for the full game because I dont like way the sign in to google play flashes up very few minutes. If on sale probably would put up with that.

I really liked this game but what gets me is they say that it's free and then 30 min into it it wants u to pay to unlock is their polite way of saying pay if u want to continue if it's free then it's free if u want us to pay to play​ then don't not put it back in the free category. I know other games do it also and I Am going to let them know how I feel as well. There was one game that I was playing and instead of buying they asked her to download certain apps that was ok. Anyway other than that I love the game.

I would have given this game more stars but I can't continue playing it. I'm unable to give Grace the dress. The hint button keeps pointing to the ceiling but no ghost. Please help! I paid for this game so I don't want to uninstall it. This is the second game in a row I've had trouble with. I don't usually have any, so frustrating!

For as much as it cost you'd think it would be made to fit the size of the screen. Doesn't work right either. I choose expert mood but the hint button recharges instantly and active areas still sparkle not a challenge at all. The only good thing for keeping the fast hint recharge is that it helps when looking for things since it cuts off what you need to look for.

I was having a great time until the game was stuck on the greenhouse mini game. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling. We'll see if that works...it didn't. It wants me to start over and I know I bought the full game. I would like a refund or a credit for another game.

Super fun want more games like this I can't wait to play more. But im stuck at the tree house I had all my pieces and was doing the puzzle but I by mistake hit the right corner map and now my squares that I found are gone please help!

Like another user, while working on the tree house mechanism, pressed on a wrong area and I'm stuck. Items disappeared from my inventory and am unable to move forward. Really dislike the idea of creating a new profile to start over. Also with Google Play asking me to sign in every other minute was annoying as hell. Not everyone is interested to share our progress nor keep track of our achievements. Spoiled the experience from the get go.

Worth every penny. I enjoyed that there was much more to the game than just hos! Aside from a couple spelling errors in the hos, like asking us tinfoil for a bow, when we were supposed to find a bowl. All in all a great game!

Great graphics and fun interface. A good choice if you like searching, puzzles, and exploration. The only thing I'd critique is I wish the inventory bar didn't take up so much of the screen when open.

I do not like this game,but I'm willing to play the free version. It isn't a game that I would buy I don't like that it keeps taking me back to Google play while I'm playing the game. I want to enjoy the game and not have to go back into it after it takes me out. Thank you

The graphics are really good. I like the storyline. The games were challenging. I did miss a couple of items because the hint button and inventory bar covered them; not sure if this is due to my device or the game. Over all, I enjoyed it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game, the graphics the interactive help and the storyline. There was only two complaints I had. Some of the hidden objects were too dark to find or indiscernible and there was no map so you have to use the map alot. All in all not with five dollars either add more to make this game more where you can figure out where to go on your own rather then guessing most of the time or using the hint button so much or bring down the price.

I play many hidden object games and they are starting to run together. This one is Different! Great for those who play these types of games regularly and for first timers! A+

I am enjoying the game. The story line is interesting and the puzzles are varied from easy to hard. The back and forth can be frustrating and the pauses when going to next scene is frustrating when you are in the groove.

Playing the game and loving it until i got to a screen where there was supposed to be an oar and its not there so can't continue with the game i paid for this so i expect a full refund.

Twice everytime I make it to the tree house everything stop working have to delete then reinstall it but love the game please work on it. Now delete reinstall for the 3rd time I hope it work.

I payed for this game and now im stuck trying to find the rest of the dress. Iv pressed the hint button, but does not work!! I have looked everywhere and cannot move on.

Great game. However, too dark in some hop, making it difficult to find some hops.

Outstanding!! Great graphics, great storyline. Not too difficult, not too easy; just right. G5 you always make the best games.

One thing I love about it is, the storyline is good and simple and it doesn't force you to watch a whole video clip every time you find something or go to a new area. The game is challenging and the objects blend well and you have to think about what you're looking for at all times.

This would have been a great game if it didnt have a glitch. I paid 4.99 and I expect a refund. Im highly upset

Would be a 5 star game except for the intruding connecting to google game store thing that interrupts you a lot. Very irritating and don't understand why its there

Paid for the full game and only got as far as finding the first key to the church! Assembled the dress but can't give it to the ghost to get the second key! Money back please

So far I have been enjoying the game, just waiting to see if I have to purchase to finish. I realize the game developers have to make money, that's fine but don't say a game is free when clearly it isn't or at least post only free to a certain level!

I like a good mystery! Not too frustrating to figure out. Just not sure I care to pay for the rest of the game especially if there are several complaints about it

Just started and it has been awesome. My complaint is tht its too short.

I bought this game and it won't let me unlock...it saying purchase not found, the money has been taken out of my account... Fix unlock it or refund me my money!!!!

Game play was decent. There were a couple of places where things did not work as smoothly as they could have, and that can be frustrating. There was nothing that was a deal breaker though. The story itself was strange, and didn't really make any sense, and never had any real resolution as far as I could tell.

Super fun want more games like this I can't wait to play more. But im stuck at the tree house I had all my pieces and was doing the puzzle but I by mistake hit the right corner map and now my squares that I found are gone please help!

Paid for the game and now it is stuck. I want my money back!!!!!!! Can't open the crypt with the skulls. Have all skulls but there is a glitch. No matter how many times I've tried.

Looks and sound good. Dull story. Mistakes: "moth" called "mole," "flashlight" called "lighter," "Walking Ctick," two radios in the storeroom. Very irritating to be nagged every minute into signing into google. I don't want to sign in. Also a bowl was called a "bow." Don't y'all have beta testers?

I loved this game! Although the graphics were rather dark, the game was so much fun! The puzzles were imaginative and unique! The hint button recharged immediately and was very helpful! Highly recommend this game!

It's good and easy but very interesting. It needs more scary ghosts in it though. That would definitely make it better

Great graphics. Having some trouble with the games. It's still fun. After finishing the game I thought it was great. Best games ever played.

Straightforward HOGs and there are a lot of them. Story was good enough and game was fairly long (at least seemed that way). Not bad variety of puzzles but they were VERY easy. Inventory bar popping up every time you collect something is annoying, gets in the way. You MUST zoom many times to see things at bottom of screen. Language badly translated, too. Also can't stop it from trying to connect to Google+ every time you get sn achievement...SUPER annoying.

Annoyed by the VERY frequent prompts of asking to know circles of friends, even after I paid for the games. Also poor guidance on where to go or what to do next. Had to hit hint button far more often because of poorly written program. Wish I hadn't wasted money on this game.
