Haunted Hotel: The Axiom Butcher Collector's Edition

Story/Plot: In Haunted Hotel: The Axiom Butcher, you take on the role of a detective who is summoned to a hotel which was the site of killing ground of a serial killer, The Axiom Butcher. As soon as you cross the threshold, people start dropping like flies. Are they dying by the ghost of the serial killer or is there another explanation? It is up to you try and catch the killer while saving the the lives of those around you. I guess the story is serviceable enough, but you can tell I found it very lackluster. I mean, at least other Hidden Object Games make you care, but most of the characters only speak a few lines before dropping dead. There is a bonus story if you complete the main game, one where you come back to the hotel yet again, this time to deal with a ghost.

The Haunted Hotel series is one of my favorites. Story lines move along nicely without snagging on a lot of HOS puzzles. Most of the puzzles are interesting enough to solve. A few are a bit too easy, but sometimes a quick puzzle is fine because you don't lose the story. Nice graphics add to the fun. The collectors editions add a bit more to the game. I like having to find the extra objects as well as having an extra amount of play time with the bonus chapter and sometimes a secret room.

Not a bad game at all, the puzzles were engaging and while the story was simple, it did the job it was supposed to do. There was some real challenge in areas, and I really liked that. About a three hour experience from start to finish. Would recommend it for a nice way to spend an afternoon.

I enjoy the Haunted Hotel series but this one (without the bonus content) took under 5 hours to complete which I thought was rather short.

Nice game, never boring.

I would recommend this game to anyone. 5 stars.

creepy atmosphere, lots of puzzles, a few hogs

very good enjoyed this one
