TheThis game is excellent! if you've played Gemini Rue by the same company (one of my most favorite games) then you will love this aswell. The only bad thing about this game is that its way to short, so i would suggest getting all 4 which they sell as a bundle off of steam for way low price of $15. If you like the point and click style adventure games than you should seriously play this, the graphics are an early 90's style which has alot of charm to it and you will either like or dislike... One of the best things about Wadgeteye Games who made this and Gemini Rue was the fact that it has no hint system, we can all get a walkthrough online for any game but id personally rather walk around for an hour pulling my hair out because im stuck trying to figure it out and finally figure it out and feel accomplished than to just click a button and be told how to do it...maybe thats just me. If you think the graphics are oldscool so it must suck then you are wrong, ask yourself do you think the first 3 Star Wars movies are worse than the newer 3 because it was made nearly 40 years ago? i think the old ones are better, again, that might just be me. Excellent game, hope they keep making more oldschool style ADV games (especially Sci-fi like Gemini Rue) :)… Expand

   Good short quest, which put a start to a great series of adventure games. I prefer look on it as first episode.

   An AMAZING! Point & Click Adventure game, for those who are fans of that genre should definitely check this game out. The Story is absolutelyAn AMAZING! Point & Click Adventure game, for those who are fans of that genre should definitely check this game out. The Story is absolutely wonderful, and you find yourself playing without the care of what time is it. While intrigue to solve the mystery. The only negative, is that this game story is short. Yes, way too short. But, that doesn't take away any of the goodies it contains. Besides the short story line, I highly do recommend it.

   The game is well done and fair on the puzzles. the story is good and lets you into.
   I find the scenario and graphics good enough.

   I understand this is the first chapter of a series, but it's too short.
   Even for me, that I am horrible at playing adventure games, its short.
   although I do feel game difficulty is just right, to get most of ppl involved.
   Good game overall, short experience… Expand

Regardless, as someone that is a big fan of ghost and mystery stories, this game offers a good thing to both. it does have the occasional poorly designed puzzle, but that's par for the course in adventure games many times.… Expand

I only played the first episode and I must say the story is interesting at first, but I don't know if I like where it's going. I don't know if it's me or it is just that these kind of gaming is much better than the recent adventures, I played the first episode of "The wolf among us" ad I found it not being fun as these kind of games.
   I must say I didn't understand the "notes" mechanics at first, when you have to compare the clues, and the inventory is useless. The game is more about talking to poeple than actually solving problems. The programming is good but not faultless, and the gameplay and the menus are also too retro. but the dialogues are actually with audio. It's a little short but you don't feel like it has a story that's being artificially made longer than it should be.
   
   Suggested to old school point and click fans. Even though seven days a skeptic was far more interesting… Expand

   *If an 'obvious solution' isn't working, try combining things in your notebook.
   *If you're still not getting it, don't be ashamed to peek at a walkthrough for a hint... the game is never quite 'Moon Logic' but there are certain things which could have been better sign-posted or less fiddling with interface. It smells of "early in a designer's career"
   
   With those caveats... I liked this. I played because I enjoyed Unavowed and thought I'd dive into this series. I've heard the later ones are better. There is a fairly compelling story with some neat twists and surprises. I'll give the later ones a go too.… Expand
