First off this game is listed as a horror game, and there are no elements of horror in it at all. There are no jumpscares or spooky things to happen. in fact, there are no people of any kind in the entire game, alien or otherwise. You are the only one in the entire game and I need you to understand that first. Secondly, this is much less of a puzzle game and more of a 'Walk aimlessly from room to room finding highlighted keys" simulator. It's really more of a walking simulator than anything else as each level really only has one puzzle or so on it and then you're done. In fact, you don't even really need to read the notes that are scattered everywhere across the mansion as the puzzles can be solved almost entirely without any information whatsoever. That goes for all "puzzles" except one, where they just tell you the answer. At about the 30 minute mark of wandering around the house looking for keys I gave up reading the notes that were left around. honestly this lady should have left her husband a long time ago. It seems like he kind of sucks. Hard. Basically the story is that some dude somehow snuck in about 100 million dollars worth of construction equipment to be a prison and…9 found this helpful
Good exploration game with great graphics and story line. However, there should be a save feature. Other than that, I would recommend for the price and if you like exploration games, this is for you.3 found this helpful
This game is all about the story, as told through diary pages and notes over the course of 3 chapters-house, basement, and lab areas. The save points are at the end of each chapter, which is fine since the game isn't terribly long. It is an exploration, find the keys and notes kind of game. There are 5 puzzles. The environment is not unnecessarily dark (unlike the story) and items of interest are in the open and well highlighted. There is some backtracking, but a map is available for reference. The price point is appropriate for the length of play. Overall, I found it to be enjoyable and thought-provoking despite some plot holes.2 found this helpful
A short but intriguing story, lots of exploration, interesting concept. I would recommend when on sale, well worth a couple of quid.
