I've only played a wee bit of the demo so far, but first impressions are wow! Beautiful graphics, and it seems very polished. There's an interesting twist in that if you don't want to play a hidden object screen you can choose to play a match-3 game instead. I will be buying this. Developers are Codeminion, creators of Ancient Quest of Saqqarah and Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal. There are some voiceovers in the game as well! Three levels of difficulty to choose from and there are also trophies to acquire.

I played about half an hour of the demo and found it to be another gloomy game replete with crawly things and dead fish. It reminds me of a B movie where you holler at the screen, "Don't go in there!" as if it will do any good. You don't talk, the characters just read your mind (this being first person), and you can't get anything more out of them than what they tell you though they'll repeat what they said if you didn't get it the first time. I guess if you don't like dialogue (preferably witty) or interaction, this is the game for you. I'm afraid I'll pass.

WHOO HOO if you want a spooky game with beautiful graphics, Fantastic Voices, Interesting storyline this is the game for you! I bought the collectible and it may be the greatest collectible yet in my opinion. The Characters are so interesting thus far especially old lady in hotel.
For those who are like me and are so weary and groan when I see a hidden object screen with random objects, GOOD NEWS ! You have a choice whether to find hidden object or match 3 game that removes objects. This game is so much fun, hoping everyone will give it a chance and at least try the demo.
I had no problem with install or saving. This game company seems to do everything right when they release the games. Congrats again to the Game Co. and BFG that knows how to pick a winner. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

I finally finished this great game. I'm sure it will always be one of my favorites. I played with rarely having to go to the guide. I love these creepy games and I would put this one high on the list. Even the music and sound effects were good. I'd like to see lots more of this quality. Teddo

Just started this great game. Loving every minute. Ditto all the wonderful things that have been said so far.I especially love the small touches.they really add to the spooky feel of the game. And for some reason I just don't get tired of HO's. I don't understand why people would want a HO game without the HO's. Without them, it is just an adventure game. While I like adventure games as well, HO's are part of the HOG genre.

gamenut, the reason for not putting it on a CD is not because it is a collectors edition, it has to do with size. If it exceeds the size allowed for putting on the disk, it will not be available as a backup disk. Ana
