As a little girl discovers her psychic powers, an unscrupulous doctor seeks to exploit her family and destroy her mind. The story is laden with dark humour and plays out through diary entries and emails between family members. The hidden object scenes are rendered in colourful, beautifully horrific art and the story continues in Redrum: Time Lies.

Winner for Impact at the Game Awards 2016, That Dragon, Cancer is a story of loss, grief, hope, faith and above all love. What an incredible way for the Greens to remember their time with their son in all of it's blazing glory. Whether in gentle moments in the park or hospital wards full of cards with messages to the dead, the game is beautifully realised with lovely, understated graphics and subtle interactions to live and relive at your own pace.

I suggest taking as much time as you can in listening and watching Joel's life, looking at photos and pictures and reading the messages as you go. I cried from a few minutes into the game, to well beyond the ending. I hope you will too.

I'd like to add my thanks to the 3,000 Kickstarter backers that helped fund this game.

This sequel is much better than the original game, although it can still be completed very quickly. Graphics, story (still not much going on there but there's a nice link to the first game), music, acting and puzzles are all improved and enjoyable. Once again, no real replayability to the game. Buy it cheap and you should enjoy it, particularly if you have played the first game.

A reasonable Hidden Object game. OK acting, story, graphics and puzzles but no real replayability. I've played a lot worse and I liked it enough to buy the sequel. As with many of these games, buy it at a US Dollar or GB Pound or so and you should be happy.

What starts as an interesting Point and Click adventure with decent graphics and intriguing locations is let down at the final hurdle. There's a decent enough story but an absolute mess of an ending and seriously crap motivation for the villain really let the game down. I enjoyed the puzzles and hidden object scenes along the way so I still recommend it, but only buy it on sale and be prepared for that steep drop in quality and quantity at the end.

A nice match three game with some pleasant minigames thrown in. Like most of these games it's repetitive, but the time it takes to complete is decent. The slight story is also a bit of simple fun to break up the rounds.

Another straightforward Point-and-Click Adventure. Decent graphics, a good sountrack and a few things you don't normally get to do to progress the story in this genre make this an enjoyable game to play.

A decent Point-and-Click Adventure which puts a twist onto the story we are failiar with through films. The graphics are decent, with some interesting locations and the puzzles and Hidden Object elements are fun. The game is short, coming in at about two hours, but if you pick it up in the sale you should be fairly happy.

A short, straightforward Hidden Object game with a few variations - silhouette, focus, combine and other game modes give different ways of finding the objects. There isn't much of a story and I found the game quite dull and the graphics bland.

If you're looking to find hidden objects this is probably fine if you buy it for half price or less in the sales, but for players who prefer the puzzle solving that comes with Point-and-Click Adventure games it just doesn't offer enough.

A short, straightforward Hidden Object game with potion-brewing and match three minigames. This is NOT a Point-and-Click Adventure so there isn't much of a story, but the graphics are colourful and beautifully designed.

There is no way I would pay full price for this game, but buy it at £2 or less and it's worth it.
