✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's atmospheric horror setting, mansion design, puzzle variety, and decent graphics, but many report significant progression issues including missing keys, unclear objectives, and game-breaking bugs that trap players in rooms with no way forward. The game shows promise in its concept and aesthetics, but poor level design and apparent bugs at the beginning undermine the experience and frustrate players early on.

[b]Why don't I live in such a mansion(((([/b] In this horror, we need to escape from a house. Not even a house but a HUGE mansion. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed solving puzzles, etc. But I was unbelievably jealous that I live in an apartment and not in such a palace. Of course, the main thing is it must be without ghosts. And the game is cool, not expensive, dynamic. Go for it, 100%. [code]If you read the review and liked it, don't forget to give it a thumbsup;)[h3][i]The further - The better♥️[/i][/h3][/code]

Got locked in the first room you opened with the key, it seems you have to take a photo of a painting but you don't have a camera and can't get out of this room. Discussions show there are more people having this exact problem. Scam, don't support !!!

Just because you can make a video game doesn't mean that you should make a video game.
