What players say
these games kind of rule low key, as a hidden object aficianado this is what i believe. super well made and great value cause they are long af in a good way! spooky!
Very good and creepy. Not every horror game can give me those "oh sheet..." feelings, and this one had done a great job of it! Also, if you aren't good at H.O. scenes or are too lazy, they have "Adventure" mode. Which is a simpler version of it and less items to work with in the first place. Now onto the Second of the Trilogy. Heh... Heh...
Might be better on Deck; I played on Mac. This is a genre I LOVE: point and click horror with hidden object elements. The problem is, the controls absolutely SUCK for keyboard and mouse. Weirdly required double-clicks for everything, even the basic interface. Want to close out the settings menu? You can't just click the "X." You have to double-click the "X." On top of that, the interface is mushy and unresponsive...
