Jan. 2025
It is a point-and-click adventure game with a psychological horror atmosphere. The combination of polished graphics, atmospheric sound, and challenging puzzles creates a compelling experience. It feels like playing Resident Evil or Silent Hill reimagined as a point-and-click adventure.

This game is not a walking sim, though it is a point-and-click adventure, and it does a fantastic job of keeping the experience engaging. With three episodes to play through, it’s a great game to revisit, especially for achievement hunters. The story might not be its strongest point, but the real charm comes from solving riddles and exploring the eerie world. The puzzles aren't overly difficult, but they're enjoyable and keep the pace steady. Plus, there are some delightful surprises that add a bit of flair to the game. A single run will take about an hour, but the experience is worth it. It's a fun, atmospheric horror adventure with just the right balance of exploration and puzzle-solving. Definitely worth playing through, especially if you love a good mystery with a spooky twist!

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.

A very creepy game with lots of puzzles to solve, and a built-in hint system in case you get stuck. The plot comes together at the end as it seemed unclear while I was playing. My only gripe is that you cannot access the bonus content unless you find all the hidden coins for each chapter. Other than that, a well done game. Rating: 7/10

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.
