Great challenge!

I put this game off for awhile due to there being so many of this type now, but I am glad that I finally played The Magician's Handbook: Cursed Valley! I loved everything about this game except that I had such a hard time finding the Runes in the end. I had to cheat and look for advice from other people! (You will probably do the same!) The sound effects and music are great, enough to mute my TV and turn the volume up. The objects aren't always easy to find. The story in itself was a nice read and follow, and the graphics are nice for the most part. Some items are blurry or don't quite look like what you think they should, but other than that, this game is quite the step up from some other Seek & Find's I have recently played. Anyway, I definitely recommend this game to anyone and everyone! Happy searching!

You want seek-and-find? You got it!

I'm the type of person who loves challenges, and I sure got it.

This is by far, the most difficult seek-and-find puzzle type game I've ever played, and I'm still playing because I haven't finished it yet. True, some of the objects couldn't have been found without the "Reveal" spell ("hint" in other seek-and-find games)

Don't let the dark design and serious aura fool you, this game does have it's own sense of humor especially if you try the long version of the story. The graphics are cartoon-like but awesome nevertheless. I love the sound effects the most because it gives you the creepy-crawly feel, or makes you feel that you're sneaking into somewhere forbidden.

The stage designs are also amazing, and I appreciate all the effort the guys put into hiding the objects because they just don't want to be found - which is the best part. I mean, where's the challenge if you're just gonna click away?

I also love the part where I get to choose whether the game is timed or casual and relaxing. This game has different features, that other games don't have and I won't compare it to MCF and other favorited games of the like. It has its own character so for you players who can't get enough, try this one for size.

A Good One

I much preferred this to any of the other magic-themed seek-and-find games. Although not as good as the classic Mystery Case Files games, this is still a solid addition to the genre and fun to play.
Challenging without being frustrating, and with a fun story.

MH Cursed Valley

I really enjoyed this game as I love to seek out hidden pictures, like those who posted before me, I enjoy MCF and Mysteryville so this one was one I wanted to try. I only wish it was a bit longer as I completed the game in 6 hours.

I keep it because my kids do enjoy it. Some of the graphics were a bit hard to find and I had to adjust my monitor settings in order to be able to see them.

Overall though, I'm glad I bought it as I can go back later and play again, course my mind will forget where to look for items. I hope there will be another version out soon. It was enjoyable.
