This game was a really fun and very creepy (in the best way) hidden object, adventure game!! The plot was entertaining and kept the mystery alive and the puzzles are not too challenging, either. It is definitely enough to keep enjoying the game without getting frustrated or feeling stuck. A really brilliant HOG / Adventure game, would 100% recommend!

Reddit got me interested in this game and they said it was one of the spookiest. My take: Yes it's spooky and not annoying jump scares. The story is super interesting so it's certainly a gem. Long story short, the protagonist got news from her sister and then she goes to investigate it and then finds out the harsh past behind her mother's demise. Also finds out she has another family member. A powerful family is involved in the whole ordeal and supernatural witchcraft from the looks of it. You don't understand who's the actual enemy and i liked the fact that having a second part is purposeful really. The game questions your sanity and the background's of the characters. There is also very interesting collectibles. The HOG scenes have nice mini puzzles which are innovative. The OST is superb, subtle sadness and spookiness. For a very old game, this has better 3D animations and good art than modern ones. There are a lot of locations to explore and I feel like there has been a lot of time invested into this game. I bought both part 1 and 2 on the spooky sale 2024 at a very low price. The downside is the achievements which are kinda bugged, the achievement description does not match the task you have to do. There are threads in the discussions which handles the achievement getting and if you are interested you can refer to them. For me the ones that require you to not pause the game is not fair because I can't find time for this juggling a job, house chores, relationship etc. I don't know if i will try for the bugged one, a bit reluctant but i definitely would play the next part for the story!

I've been a fan of this game before I even bought my laptop. I played it a lot on phone. When I bought it on Steam, I jumped on Expert difficulty immediately. Some things changed but it's still a great game.

Nov. 2024

A really cool and well made game with a captivating story. The features are good and the overall gameplay really nice. The whole atmosphere is really good and scary and the music does its part very well too. All in one a really good game. I can really highly recommend it.

This is above average on the Mountain Crime Requital scale. Not super scary, but it had it's moments. I enjoy the story, even though our protagonist has no sense of safety sometimes, but the story has to happen, you know? The puzzles were not overly difficult, and not too much of a breeze either, and I find that there was a good balance between the puzzles, the story and the hidden object bits. Highly recommended for a slightly spookier flavor of Hidden Object Game! :D
