Well boo to that! Sounds like a pcc game instead. The Taken Souls game at GH, what are the Extras in the PE?
Sorry about Dangerous Illusions. But remember that it's only my opinion (no matter how wonderful my opinon may be).
So, Taken Souls: Blood Ritual PE at GH ... to answer your question, I have absolutely NO idea! The Bonus tab is locked until you've finished the game. And, as I had a problem and haven't been able to get back to it, I haven't finished and thus haven't found out yet.
I tried reinstalling the game without uninstalling, thinking it wouldn't reinstall or ask me if I wanted to replace the files that were already there, or something like that. But no, it simply deleted all the files that were already there and I lost everything! I've reinstalled games before and I've NEVER lost my profile. So I have to start right from the beginning again as I'm no longer in the profiles ... and I was near the end of the main game!!!!
Okay, I love the game, but that doesn't mean that I want to replay a game I've just played, especially when I have sooooooooo many other unplayed games, waiting in the wings!
Someone posted how to get around the problem that I encountered ... the day after I reinstalled the game and lost everything! ... and you have to put your cursor on top of what you have to click on, then hit Enter instead of clicking. I never would have thought of that! I tried clicking on the spot but nothing worked and the Hint didn't help at all in this case.
However, a lot of people are having problems with the game continually crashing and GH has posted this in the forums ...
Hi there,
The game is incredibly demanding on the graphic card. We are very sorry for not checking this before the launch. We are currently looking into establishing a standard for our developers that the games have to comply with.
And they've now added this on the main game page ...
please note: Taken Souls - Blood Ritual has more advanced graphics than usual. Depending on your computer's capacity, you might experience issues while playing (such as crashing as scenes change)
Fortunately I'm playing it on my new laptop with really high specs for gaming so I haven't experienced any of the crashing problems, just the stupid problem in the room where the robotic spiders are made!

Check out the forum for today's TGT Twilight Phenomena: The Incredible Show. Look for a thread called DON'T CARE IF IT'S OFF TOPIC. It is about BFG getting hacked. I read it and it looks like applies to only new payment information between the dates of 12/24/14 - 1/8/15.

I certainly hope it's just new payment info. I have gotten a bill that covers part of this period and there's nothing on it that shouldn't be. It does make me leery about the site though. The reason I signed up with BFG was because they said they were secure, no spyware, etc. And it's been true up to now. Of course with hackers getting more and more sophisticated I guess nothing is safe.

Well not to scaremonger as I have no idea if it is related, but once again my MC company phoned and emailed me a week ago that my info had been possibly compromised and they would be sending me a new card. Now I use this card strictly for online purchases, it has a small limit on it, only $500 for just this reason, and I am grateful that they jump on these things right away even if I have not been affected. but it is the second time in a year that this has happened. Personally I think it is TSC, it has happened both times fairly close on the heels of a purchase there.

I went to BFG after I read this. There is a posting (in various game forums) about this by a MOD. And then, because it isn't game-related the thread gets locked!
With all of this hacking stuff coiming up more and more frequently I'm glad that I rarely purchase anything online, nor do I do banking or billpaying online.
oscar -- What's TSC?

If you use a card in person, your info can still be compromised if the store's computers are hacked. Think Target at Christmastime.

Tirama I'm well aware that in-person purchases can still result in info being hacked. On-line just seems riskier to me.

I'm pretty sure the two times my card was used fraudulantly, the info was picked up from an in-person transaction. Ditto DH's work credit card. MY credit card company notified me each time within a day of the transactions. Even sometimes questions MY transactions, like the time I boght oodles of CE's during the first CE BOGO sale. Wouldn't approve the transactions on BF, had to call them and say "yes, it's me, yes I really am buying all those games in separate transactions at 3 AM. Please take the hold off the card so I can buy more."
So althought it's a PITA to have to get a new card, most of the PITA comes from having to notify all my online places about the new card. But I love the convenience of online shopping and banking and I'm not going to give it up anymore than I'm going to stop using the card in person.
