The Game:
A bride’s wedding day should be the happiest day of her life, but when newlyweds Jessica and Jonathan McNealy get into a car crash and land in the middle of a creepy forest, all of that happiness goes right out the window. Jessica’s left alone in the car, guided by a ghostly woman in white that pulls Jessica deeper into the woods and towards the McNealy mansion. With Jessica’s husband nowhere in sight, it will be up to you to help Jessica heal her wounds and track down her missing husband, with plenty of twists and suspense along the way.
Silent Scream II: The Bride is a spiritual successor to the original Silent Scream, and it plays and looks much more like a traditional hidden object / puzzle game. Throughout the game’s three hour length (on the easiest of two difficulty settings), you’ll investigate a large mansion, abandoned farmhouse, church, graveyard and more through a basic game play format.
Silent-Scream-2-The-Bride-005

Silent-Scream-2-The-Bride-006
There are plenty of hidden object scenes to explore as you find items on text-based lists, and some offer further interactivity via bags that must be opened, candles that must be lit, and so on. The game doesn’t contain a great deal of puzzles, which is almost a good thing, as some of its existing puzzles come with too little in the way of instructions and the skip meter charges at a painfully slow rate.
The majority of your time in Silent Scream II will be spent repeating some of these hidden object scenes multiple times and then backtracking through chunks of environments to complete tasks. You’ll encounter only a few other characters along the way, but the voice acting is handled really well, even if most characters are rather static, instead of properly animated.
Unfortunately, Silent Scream II comes with some click recognition issues, especially when it comes to combining some items in your inventory. This combination ability brings extra challenge to the game, as you’ll need to find two separate items in order to complete a single task, but the game often ignores these clicks when you attempt to combine items. Without the proper click response, it’s easy to think that you don’t have the proper items to move on, when in fact it’s just the game having technical issues that’s slowing you down.
Silent-Scream-2-The-Bride-007

Silent-Scream-2-The-Bride-008
Furthermore, the inventory doesn’t stay on the screen at all times, and must be opened by hovering at the bottom of the screen. This sounds fine in theory, but much of the game’s navigation between scenes also requires you to hover and click at the bottom of the screen. Due to this, you can spend a lot of time in the game accidentally opening and closing your inventory when you really just meant to click “back” to another scene.
Silent Scream II‘s story line comes with plenty of suspense, leading up to some pretty huge twists in the finale. The story line itself is easily the best part of the experience, and it’s so good that it’s actually worth dealing with the game’s technical issues and clichéd “spooky” environments and jump scare tactics just to see what happens next. That being said, the story-line comes with an odd ending that actually makes little sense if you take the time to analyze it. In this, the game doesn’t offer the same cookie-cutter ending that you might be expecting, and Maximize Games deserves some credit for avoiding that outcome.
Silent Scream II: The Bride definitely isn’t a perfect experience, but it offers some nicely detailed, cluttered hidden object scenes, good voice acting, and a fairly fast charging hint meter to help you through. There’s plenty of backtracking towards the end of the game and some items may not be used in their expected ways, but the game is never so challenging as to be truly frustrating. As we said before, the story line is definitely worth the price of admission alone, but don’t expect to be thrilled by the game play along the way.

There's a glitch in one of the hidden objects where the medicine cabinet is. When you touch the lollipop,it won't disappear. Please fix!

Anna,

Hi Anna, Once a giveaway is over, not many community members will revisit the page. It would be better if you posted the issue over in the Game discussion forums HERE. That way, if there is a fix, someone may post it there. The game isn't a new game, so probably is no longer supported by the developer, so if it is a bug/glitch, it's unlikly to be fixed by the developer. Have you seen any mention of this glitch online?


I know it's not the sort of game you want to restart from the beginning, but it may be that restarting will fix the issue.? Sorry i can't be of anymore help.


p.s. you could try contacting the original developer Maximise games or the original distributor Alawar Games to see if anything could be done, or if a fix was ever created?


You can contact Maximise games HERE and/or Alawar entertainment HERE. The former is the more likely to help as it was their creation.

Looks like a decent HOG game I'll try it . Just want to say Thank You for this site . love HOG games and have quite a collection of games I have gotten from this site. Showing Gratitude goes a long way for maintaining this site . Many games I haven't downloaded because their not my cup of tea ,but I don't gripe about it I just wait for the next one . Following directions to download and install is Very Important . I have had very little problems over the years and then its usually a problem with the game site from where the game is from Thanks Again

The last couple of giveaways will download but will not open. Any suggestions?

Reply   |   Comment by marie vela  –  5 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

marie vela,

Hi Marie, it may be your security blocking the giveaway. The game is protected with a Themida based wrapper, which becasue it can also be used to hide malware, some security as a matter of course, block anything with Themida code. The giveaway team have been giving games away since Dec 2006 and have never given a game away infected with malware. Either your Microsoft Win 10 security or whatever AV software you use. There's three different things you can do to get the game to install. The quickest is to temporarily turn off all your security, install the game, then reboot your security. Or, white list the giveaway files with your security or reboot your computer in safe mode with networking, install the game, then reboot as normal.

If none of the above work, check the FAQ's thread over in the Game discussion sticky section; hopefully something there may help

Whiterabbit-uk, Thanks for the assistance. Will try what I can without re-installing, as with the daily giveaway, it needs to be installed same day. Just never had a problem until the last 2 weeks.

Trying to install the game, but the installer says this giveaway is over????

Reply   |   Comment by Jase  –  5 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+1)

Jase,
Hi Jase, please read my reply to Marie; a different reason, but probably the same issue with security. Due to the Themida wrapper, which can also be used to hide malware, so some security will block installation and some even delete the executable as a precaution. The giveaway team have been giving games away since 2006 and have never given a game away that was infected with malware. It may also be a browser issue. If you are using Internet Explorer, there has been issues downloading. There is a simple fix which i've forgotten offhand, but I'm sure it's mentioned in the FAQ's thread over in the game discussion forum sticky section. Alternatively, try using a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Water fox.

Thanks for the review, Mr. Whiterabbit. I've never played the first game, so perhaps I should play them in order?

Reply   |   Comment by Dana  –  5 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+5)

Dana, Most of these games are "standalone", meaning that while they may share characters or locations with previous games in the "series", the game itself is complete by itself, so it can be played without having experienced the previous game(s).

Reply   |   Comment by BobR  –  5 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+4)

BobR, Thanks very much for that. It's jarring to start a game and not get the references from a previous episode.
