This game is pretty awesome. Good story, horror feel, and gameplay. Since it's "mouse only" you can eat queso dip while you play which is pretty cool. 8.5/10 Good Price and Random Queso.

Although it looks like an FPS, it is in fact a point-and-click game, which is good for what it does. Now although I am recommending it, the game is definitely clunky, there's that lack of polish and some head scratching moments that stem from it - but otherwise it is a fairly solid horror tale. It gets quite scary in a few places, particularly when things in the house change very slightly as you pass-by (a painting 'looks' at you, a silhouette brushes past the window, etc.) The game has a few mild 'jump scares', and one proper one that gave me that spine-chilling startle that we all hate in games. Horror developers: never forget that being startled and being scared are too completely different emotions. Substituting the former for the latter is a cheap trick. When something happens suddenly and loudly and we get 'shocked' that is not fear. That is a different state of mind. Fear is insidious, fear is a build-up, fear is revelation, fear is intelligent. Fear is not a reflex. Fear belongs in the amygdala, not in the brainstem. Let's not mix these up. Excuse the ramble. Thankfully this game only really has one of those cheap scares. So yes I recommend it to horror-puzzle game fans.

July 2024

Considerable Horror Adventure, not a walking sim as all is point and click but does not downgrade the game, 3 Episodes to beat, worth replaying not only for gathering all achievements, story is a bit low but the highlight goes after finding and solving riddles what arent that difficult and to explore the whole thing, certain fancy surprises are included too. A single run takes an hour but worth doing so.

July 2024

An OK little psychological horror point and click slideshow adventure. The general presentation looks cheap, but the game ends up being better than one could expect! The atmosphere is really disturbing and the puzzles are actually pretty good and well balanced. I completed it in one day, three sittings (one chapter per sitting), which was a perfect length for this story, in my opinion.

June 2024

Episodic, myst-style point-and-click adventure of (without walkthrough or much use of the builtin hint system) 2-ish hours per each of its 3 episodes. Episode 1 and 2 both quite good and atmospheric; 3 goes off in a few too many random directions for my tastes (time travel? colored balls? the painting?) but ties things up narratively. Well-advised at a sale price.
