Good game but the puzzles were a little weird. I couldn't figure out the part with the word "sleep" backwards; I had to check the walkthrough. Same thing for the "sharp". Maybe there was I clue I missed to change it to "harps"? And the horse stall one didn't make any sense. So I pretty much had to use the walkthrough for the whole game. Other than that, it was a nice game to pass the time with.
Reviews for "Alone on Raven Road"
The story was good. The wild animal sign reminded me of deer hunting although it was a Santa Claus reindeer. x)
I thought everything would be straightforward until I enter the word puzzle. There was no clue in the game suggesting the idea of recreating a new word from SHARP.
It was really good game. The sound design was great. I thought it was going to be another point and click horror game but I was pleased that it wasn't.
The death character was pretty cool, just chillin there until he got something. lol

I have to give this a low score, because there's no way to guess the combination to the box by the river, unless you click on Walkthrough, which seems unfair. 'Sleep' backwards and twisted into numbers is too much of a stretch, as is the word jumble for the second box (maybe if there was picture of a harp somewhere?). Also the horse stalls hasp didn't really look like a lock, that kinda threw me a tad...
Aside from that, the rest of the puzzles, art, gameplay and music were quite nice.

Well, there's no guessing required, the clues were somewhat obvious. If you spell Sleep like it's written you aren't doing it right. The word jumble was simple, almost too simple. There's only one possible answer other than the one given. This was too easy for most of my players. Sorry.
