What players say
The best Review I can give this game, is I spent 6 hours on the actual puzzles and watching cutscenes, then spent 5 hours grinding for coins to 100% this game. The Red Hair Girl from Slayaway Camp 1-8, I am sorry I made you burn for hours just for achievements... This game is fun, a decently good puzzle game, but... THE GRIND IS HARSH!!!

Very fun and quite challenging, with tons of levels, heaps of cool unlockables, and many references to all your favourite horror licences. Definitely worth a play, this game rules.
