Okay so I know this game is ten years old (played the demo that long ago) but I've just finished it and I must say that i loved all the mini games. Wow. This game is just jam packed. One after another after another. This game opens with a woman in the hospital trying to recall how she got there. With each new memory comes a new locale and puzzles. I really liked that squished in between all those mini games was a good story and i was really hoping that it would have a satisfactory ending and not just say.. wakng up from a dream or something stupid. And it did so I was pleasantly surprised. I am not sure why Gogii hasn't made more like this since. It could be a bit visually dark at times and the things to do weren't always obvious but overall I really liked this one. Different from all the HOG's we've all been playing lately. Nice change.. fun mini games . good story.

Did not like this game. It was slow and the mini-games were boring. The levels were uneven; some taking a couple of minutes while others requiring a retry. The ending was lame and obvious. Hints cost way too much time. And some of us are getting tired of games with women as central characters. Ar casual game developers trying to overcompensate for the overwhelmingly male oriented traditional games? Is there such a thing as a FPS with a female main character?

Too frustrating in places to rate 4, but quite unusual and interesting so really better than only 3. Also have the opinion that the music, atmosphere and lighting are all creepy and lend a strange atmosphere that was a bit unsettling. I found the game hard to play some times (should have been more skips IMO) and it suffered (at least on my display) from the old worn out "let's make it hard to find by making it invisible in a really dark place on the screen" strategem. And yes, some of what to do didn't make sense and some games should have allowed a shade more time (esp at the end). But I agree I liked the game more and more as I went along and think it is worth it to play it out.

Not love on first sight, but the game grew on me. The atmosphere of the game is creepy and I would not recommend it for children. You have to solve HO scenes in adventurelike point and click manner. You interact with inventory objects and hot spots on the screen. As you find yourself in a nightmare setting, the use of the items is not obvious. The more it hurts to be fined a time penalty for any wrong click, especially in the higher levels, where time is precious. You even get a time penalty for clicking the right inventory item on the right hot spot, if you did not click on the hot spot first to open it in a small window. Not all hot spots open a window, but I recommend to click on them first without holding the item all the same, just in case. I liked the variety of minigames. Some are well known, some quite original. I had fun playing them. When I found out how to play them, that is. The rules are not always clear. If you study them too long, you loose time again. Without these flaws HS:TH could have been a really good game. As it is it´s good enough to pass some time with it. Try it for yourself.

Games ok. Too much guessing. Some things just don't seem to fit. What's a hairbrush got to do with printer paper? And, I can't seem to get past level 29. The numbers etched on the closet door are hard to read. Nothing I tried will open the brief case, and why would a bra (I'm assuming since I can't open the case and the bra is the last clue) be in a brief case? Does anyone know what the numbers are. It looks like 842 or 812, can't really tell.

Pros: Well-copycat puzzles. Good atmosphere. Good music. Good graphics. Cons: Bad & illogical direction. Confusing puzzles. Bad and predictable story (I knew Mr. Husband had had a "Big Trouble" since chapter 22, 23-/30). Unsuitable with children :)

Neat concept but the storyline was predicable and the mini games just felt tacked on. Just didn't feel very cohesive.
