Actually this... Wasn't that bad. After numerous H.O.G. experiences... I have to give credit where credit is due. This game: -> Let's you be the logical "sidekick" to the Detective. -> You better remember where sheet is or rely on Hints only. Tch. -> There is more dialogue in this game versus any other H.O.G... But because it's a MYSTERY. There SHOULD be interactions. I am so used to lazy H.O.G.s with prettier graphics... That this was kind of entertaining. I mean... They didn't have to write a dialogue for every step of the way (almost), but... I get it. It was consistent and... In the end there was a twist and a mystery on a mystery. Then there was another thing with a "Bonus Chapter", so... Kudos. They also limited the amount of H.O. scenes AND, AND GUESS WHAT?! Those will NEVER spawn somewhere outside of your scope!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE IT when games make you search 3million rooms for a damn H.O. THING!!! This? Nah. You go to where you *remembered* the thingy was and you see an H.O. scene? You do it. Brilliant. Also... Good job with making the H.O. scenes fun. I liked the lil hidden "red items". :) Ah and Jayden still sucks. Hopefully he will get b…

Very good HOG with voice acting, animated scenes, interesting minigames and a decent story. Only downsides are the lack of achievements and the non-functional indicators on the minimap that has no quick-travel.

Great story, on par with Dorian Grey Syndrome! Same issues with widescreen and readability of HO scenes. Still recommend!

The game itself has a beautifull spooky athmosphere with common English from Islands :] Graphic and music are fayn also im giving 8.4 from 10.0. Sometimes is the game a little bit boring, but only for a short time. It could be less hidden objects scenes and more puzzles and dialogues can be shorter with more action and concretly content, but story line is almost perfect.

Nice story, funny and macabre, very good music, voice-over and although graphics are outdated you can enjoy it much.
