It's more like a collection if mini-games and puzzles, with cheezy FMV cut scenes in between. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was charming.
The haunted house setting was pretty cool, and the ability to wander around and a sense of exploration. Clearly the game succeeded in making a creepy atmosphere in a creepy setting, and that creepiness just gets stronger as the game progresses.
The puzzles and minigames are fun and highly replayable. However, most of the riddles were pretty tough and nearly impossible, but there is a hint system that helped. Ultimately it does leave you feeling like a dumbass. So, hit and miss on the gameplay.
There isn't really a story, more like a collection of FMV sequences from a VERY low budget horror movie. Acting and writing on par with a low budget porno (there's no porn, but that's what the FMV scene look like.)
Overall:
This game is cheezy and deliberately B-rate, that it has that "crappy movie" charm to it. You know it's bad, but enjoyable kind of bad.… Expand
