After playing it for 10 minutes, I was extremely confused and don't know what to do. Most doors are locked and I found myself wandering aimlessly. There's no proper instruction on what I was supposed to do and the rooms all looked dull. Graphics are poor, voice acting are boring and the game is just boring. How come this game is categorised under hidden objects game is just puzzling. More of adventure but a boring aimless one. Have uninstalled it. SO BORING.

Did anyone else have trouble seeing the small print? The labels on the doors, for instance; I didn't even know I was supposed to be able to read them until I was stalled and decided to break down and peek at the walk-through. Before my 60-minute trial ended, I got as far as the cash register 'No Sale' code. I tried to zoom in further on the register, but couldn't. No way I could read the keys, so I tried guessing... Forget it! I'm not wasting my time with this game anymore. Like it was said, it has potential, but needs alot of work.

Introduction in the use of various objects too slow, could not skip annoying dialogue, started over, and no way I could find to get past dialogue. Used up too many free download minutes in listening to painfully dumb dialogue! Might be a good game, but they need to hook me in the first few minutes. My favorites are games with mixed find objects and use of tools, such as Escape the Museum, Azada, Magic Encyclopedia, etc.

What a disappointment! This game has so much potential for a wonderful gaming experience, but it's all wasted -- all St John does is wander around, all the doors are locked, there's nothing to do, nothing but hazy graffiti to look at, the tone of St John's voice-over indicates that even he is bored. And it's his game!! (LOL) My first indication that this is a dud of a game should have been when all of the creator credits ran first, as tho even they knew that the game was so bad, no one was going to play all the way to the end to read the info then. Guys, if I were you, I'd withdraw the game, and do some serious revamping -- there are at least a dozen rooms that could each have an adventure behind those closed doors -- make it a combo hidden object pseudo-scarey game. Maybe then I'd buy it. But not today, not the way it is now. I feel cheated and I only played the freebie demo!!!

Very tiresome game; not much to do apart from wandering aimlessly, trying locked door after locked door. The maze sequence was so tedious, I finally consulted a walkthrough to get past it, and I can usually solve mazes in a snap. Not much challenge here, either. There are 2 other games in the series; I'll try one more, then never buy Delaware St John again if I don't see improvements.

I only played 30 minutes of the free demo. It was spooky and I saw what they were trying to do but it was just boring. And I hate when there aren't subtitles, I like to listen to music while I play casual games.

I usually love the "solve the puzzle" type of games but this one was more of a light on the puzzles and heavy on trying to figure out where you were and which direction to go kind of game. The graphics were great and the atmosphere was spooky but the gameplay was...*Shrug* I really wanted it to be great and had high hopes at the beginning. Maybe they can rework the next one so it's longer and has more puzzles to solve.

I had high hopes for this game but after 15 minutes of wandering aimlessly, I hit the hint link and got the message to look around first. I gave up. I agree that it is like the Nancy Drew series where the point is to look everywhere but that type of game is not my cup of tea.

I discovered this game (along with the others in the series) about a year and a half ago and I fell in love with it. The artwork is good, the voice acting is great and I like the characters. When I saw this one on BFG, I thought it was new and I was really excited until I realized I had played it already. This game might not be for the casual gamer, but if you like the Nancy Drew games or games like Dream Chronicles, you should give it a try.

It looks like it would have been a nice game if they had took time with the game. it's a very confusing game and from what I saw it is mostly a walk around game that needs a walk thru, but I did give it a try and maybe for someone else it would be a nice game.
