Dark Tales: Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven Collector's Edition

Solve a gripping mystery by playing hidden objects.
Challenge yourself with puzzles and mini-games.
Treat yourself to an interpretation of a literary masterpiece.
“’Tis some visiter,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—only this and nothing more.” Such are the words of Edgar Allan Poe’s iconic poem called “The Raven.” It’s amazing how this can come to life – or at least virtually – with Big Fish’s Dark Tale’s Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven Collector’s Edition.
The Raven, the game, takes its cue from the story behind the poem, about a love-struck man and a woman named Lenore. But this is not your ordinary love story as it involves conspiracy and a menacing society.
The game is designed to be a hidden-objects adventure, but it’s also like a mini-adventure book you probably used to read when you were still in middle school. In the conversations of the characters, you can choose between two scenarios, which may be to move forward or look around some more. While it may sound there’s no incentive in lingering longer within a scene, note collecting hidden characters can help you understand and appreciate the storyline more effectively.
Aside from the hidden objects, you will be asked to solve puzzles, some of which can be complicated they require more time to think and figure out. That can be frustrating for any player. If you’re simply interested in getting on with the story, however, you can press Skip to let the game complete the puzzle quickly.
Nevertheless, in certain cases, puzzles come in the form of making certain objects fit together to move on with the story. For example, if you need to climb toward the window, you need to repair a ladder. To repair a ladder, you have to join the collected slats of wood.
You’ll realize finding hidden objects is easier with The Raven, but just in case you feel stuck, you can click the hint button. Unlike other collector’s edition games, this one doesn’t have any difficulty level to choose from. You can just adjust the speed of the hint recharge.
The graphics and animation of The Raven are dark, brooding, and grim. There are also elements of violence, which makes this game not ideal for children. On the other hand, the best way to experience the game is by turning the music on, so you can feel the mystery that envelops it.
The game doesn’t have any social component, so you take the journey by yourself. The good thing is you can play the game at your own pace. This is also available in a Buy and a Demo version, the latter of which lasts for an hour.
The Dark Tales: Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven Collector's Edition is as dark as the poem itself, utilizing a lot of shadows, haunting music, and a gripping storyline. It may make you feel uneasy, but there’s a good chance that’s the point: the level of discomfort should encourage you to complete the game so you can find peace in the end.
