Wardwell House

Interesting visuals. It kind of reminds me of an old flash game I played as a kid called Exmortis. But the story is told horribly, and doesn't even line up with what you're seeing. Apparently you've been lost at sea on a kayak for weeks, but the "ocean" you washed in from is clearly a creek. Somehow, the protagonist is able to tell what date it is from an antique windup clock. The house you explore is clearly not the one you saw from outside, and toward the end you're suddenly in another completely different house. The house has working electricity, freshly laundered clothes, and freshly killed corpses outside, but not only does the protagonist still think the place is abandoned, but that it's safe place to crash for a few days. References to the Salem witch trials keep getting thrown around, but no connection to them is made, unless "spooky things are happening" IS the connection. The narration is understandable, but still badly written. The "game" consists of clicking on arrows to move along a scripted path, with no choice as to where to go, puzzles to solve, or anything that would constitute as gameplay. It doesn't help that you're forced to go up and down the same forest path t…

GOOD DARK HORROR GAME!

The concept of using panaromic images aligns perfectly with what Wardwell House wanted to achieve, although the controls were slightly clunky.

Its a interesting experience as a story, but as a game I can't recommend. You look at points of interest to then be able to proceed to the next area.

its essentially a slide show. also at least a third of the time your just waiting for the icon to pop up to go to the next room.

Yeah, it's basically Google Street View: The Horror Experience, but I thought it created a really unsettling atmosphere, and, for a free game, it delivered on its premise pretty well.
