About Bram The Toymaker
A scary bedtime story or a horrid physical entity?
The story goes that the toymaker is an undead figure who comes out at night leaving a toy on the children’s bedroom window to lure and capture them. Upon finding an old hidden journal, Blake discovers that a folktale passed through generations in his family might hold some dark secrets. He embarks on a journey to unravel what’s behind his ancestor's mysterious journal.
Return to your family roots, deep into a long-forgotten isolated 18th-century village called Grimmville where time has stopped.
Upon arriving at the abandoned manor, once you set foot inside suddenly you find yourself trapped. Equipped with a flashlight you must explore the rooms. Some of them are escape-room style. Your main objective is to look for clues in order to solve timed puzzles that will give you the necessary items to progress further and make your way out.

It really looked promising and for $6, not too bad. Unfortunately it's glitchy. I couldn't do the globe puzzle because the puzzle pieces wouldn't go in place. I'd select them to use them and put them in the EXACT SPOTS they're SUPPOSED to go in, and then click to put them there and they'd just go back in my inventory. Unless there's some other way you're supposed to use them that's not made clear. Hopefully the game gets fixed over time.1 found this helpful
I've played about 200 horror games and I am here to tell you that the timers on the puzzles are comically short. There is no autosave function so you have to save manually and I suggest doing so before entering any door that uses a colored key. Fixing the timer/autosave problem and making the last encounter less of trial and error and more of a fun experience would probably change this to a thumbs up from me.
I really enjoyed this. It was a little buggy here and there but it wasn't anything really bad. I just couldn't save too close to a certain point in the game (save before that so it was an easy solve). I enjoyed the story and it had some pretty good scares.
Poorly formulated puzzles with very little direction, very little engaging story, and the smoothing for camera movement is vomit-inducing. It's really uncomfortable to play, the jump-scare sounds are triggered by zone and repetitive. The assets look nice but I don't think this was well executed.

TL;DR: It could have been great, but the game is a bit too buggy as it stands. This game had all the makings of something I'd enjoy. Nice setting, an intriguing story set up, and some nice puzzles within the environment that helped the story unfold. The build of the house was expansive, and it was relatively satisfying to explore the new rooms to try and learn more things about what's going on and why your character is there. I'll give points to the "ending" that I ended up having to watch on YouTube because I couldn't complete the game. The bad is that the game is very buggy and the scares were not super effective for the most part. I had a controller plugged into my computer at the time I started the game, and the game would not allow me to switch back to keyboard and mouse until I exited the game and unplugged my controller before restarting. I had several puzzles where my movement died altogether. Using controller, my movement died and the only way to get out of it was to pause the game and then resume and somehow it got back. On mouse and keyboard, I entered a puzzle had to use my inventory to place pieces, and then my mouse wouldn't work on the puzzle at all. No amount of p…
