I am sorry to say I have to break away from the consensus on this one, however much I prefer to give a game 4 or 5 stars as I do most of the time. The reason is simple: I positively disliked everything Mishap has to offer, except the voice-over which is good and the cute little character with the white moustache. I found the music nerve-racking, the horrible green face that keeps popping up with a shriek on almost every misclick extremely irritating, the blurring of the screen utterly unnecessary and annoying, the artwork messy and distorted, the ghosts not funny at all and the storyline uninteresting. Moreover, as soon as I got to the bathroom, my cursor became so slow and jerky that I had difficulties controlling it. First time I have this problem ! Chasing the first three ghosts was not unpleasant, but I can hardly see myself going through that 8 times per chapter ! As to the first riddle...well, I have seen dozens that were a lot better and truly challenging ! I don't mind at all spooky games full of impressive ghosts when such games are good fun, but to me, Mishap is not one of them. After 32 minutes of complete boredom and aggravation, I uninstalled the trial version without the slightest shade of regret.
