The Guest (2016)

I genuinely wish I could give this a more positive review, but I'd be lying if I said I walked away from it feeling like it was "time well spent". The first and most glaring problem is that the game is [b]way[/b] too dark for its own good. There are a number of situations where you're basically in almost pitch black darkness, and even when the lights are on they often barely illuminate the area well enough to see what you're doing. This makes finding some of the objects or clues unnecessarily difficult. The sole saving grace is that drawers and doors [i]will[/i] highlight if you mouse over them, but that doesn't make the problem go away. The second big issue stems from the random-factor to both the labyrinth and the music tuning puzzle. While the former [i]could[/i] be forgiven if there wasn't an arbitrary achievement centered [i]completely[/i] around luck, the second is just a regrettably poor choice by the developer. I understand they wanted it to be a [i]puzzle[/i] but a great many people have difficulty telling such tones apart and there's no visual aide. Unlike the Selentic Age sound puzzle in Myst, which uses several distinctly [b]different[/b] sounds in conjunction wit…

For five hours... Not bad. Allows you to figure out what you need to do instead of holding your hand. Watch out for the ending though... The plot line is... Odd. Misleading you to think its a horror title. It's just puzzles with an odd ending. Still, not bad.

I am unable to complete the game because I am stuck on the music puzzle.

I usually love escape rooms but this is kinda tedious and not fun :/
