9/10
I really enjoyed this game! Believe it or not, the forest didn't bother me too much. I was just a little disappointed with the lack of snooping. The suspense was alright, but wasn't the best. There were so many fun puzzles, and I loved the idea of a hidden speakeasy. Also, the dogs were super cute! ^-^

Not sure if I posted in this thread before but DOG is one of my most favorite games (since it was one of the first few I played). I never realized that the game's so easy until I completed it within two days without any help (just finished it). But maybe it's my subconscious mind that remembered the stuff since I played the game many times when I was in Primary school.

Love the game! It was the first one I played and maybe the only one that I solved on my own (I had no idea there were such things as walkthroughts, maybe they actually hadn't been invented at the time, I first played it about 9 years ago), anyway, it took me a while to finish it. :)

One of the best IMO

I thought this was one of the best ND games out there. I have played many and most of them. This one keeps you on the edge of your seat. Very spooky and scary, to say the least. So, if you are not into horror and scary stories, this one may not be for you. There was parts I jumped at not knowing what to expect. KUDOS to this one 10 stars.

My first ND game and my first love! This is, without a doubt, my favorite game of the entire series. The 20's bootleggin' charm mixed with the nostalgic feel of a cabin by the lake...a great duo. And what's charm without a little spookiness in a Nancy Drew game? The woods in this game were pretty creepy, but not as creepy as the woods in The Captive Curse ;) It's really a marvelous and TRULY unique game. HER did a splendid job and deserves a millions pats on the back. Also, I just wanted to add...this game taught me roman numerals. I HATED roman numerals beforehand and never saw a purpose for them. The filing puzzle stumped me for days, but after that I had a nearly complete knowledge of roman numerals that I was not soon to forget. As a pharmacy student, I pretty much thank this game and HER every day! I know that HER's mission is to help young girls fall in love with STEM subjects and I wanted to let them know that they helped me...not just with this game but with many other games in the series.

10/10

I just finished playing this game (for the first time) Saturday 5/30-and I loved it! My only complaint was that you only saw the ghost dogs once! ONCE! That was a letdown, I kept expecting to see them! I mean, you didn’t even hear them besides the first night you’re there. The woods was obviously tedious & frustrating but once I got my bearings it got better to navigate them. And there wasn’t a ton of character interaction, there was definitely some, but not a lot of run-ins w/the culprit besides once during game play & of course, at the end. Other than those minor things I absolutely adore this game. I would recommend it to someone who doesn’t really like a ton of hard & time consuming puzzles. It’s absolutely in my top 5 favorite games! I love the 20’s, the history, roman numerals, the setting-moon lake was just beautiful & the speakeasy, the dogs, the creepily awesome cemetery we get to explore and so much more! 10/10!


**Look for my in-dept review of this awesome game...coming soon!

It took me quite a while to play that game. Truth be told, I'm such a scaredy-cat, that I turned it off after the first apparition of the dogs, since I was so afraid they would come back . I should say that I am actually scared of dogs in real life - so ghost dogs? That's just too much for me to handle! However, once I overcame my fear, I discovered a beautiful, not-so-scary game, that I thoroughly enjoyed playing.

I loved the scenery (that is one of the most crucial elements in a game for me), the nature around the lake was gorgeous, it made me wish I was there myself. The puzzles were pretty good, with the right level of difficulty. I didn't care that much for the characters, but the backstory with the prohibition era made up for it. While there was some enjoyable exploring, especially in the woods (I liked the birds quest - hey, I like birds ), I missed snooping around, and felt that some places could have been fleshed out. Going to one particular place was quite tedious, especially since you have to go back and forth several times in the game. The ending was a bit irritating, but fortunately there's always Second Chance .

All in all, I enjoyed this game much more than I thought I would, I really got caught up in the mystery. And I think I'm not that afraid of dogs anymore - ghost dogs, at least . A nice, big 8 for the Ghost Dogs of Moonlake.

Good puzzles, but the game just wasn't a favorite and I've only tried to finish it once due to time.
