Warning: This game contains stylized images and videos that may be disturbing to some.

General Information

Enter your profile name to start the game. You can create up to 10 profiles.
Click on Options to adjust Music and Sound FX volumes, choose Visual Quality, Full Screen and Custom Cursors. The default is High, Yes and Yes, respectively.
Click on Credits to view them, click on Intro to watch the opening movie without playing the game and click on Play to start the game.
Choose Relaxed (no penalties) or Paranoid (penalty for rapid clicking) game modes.
Once you get access to it, you can use the Map to travel quickly to specific locations, without having to click back and forth.
You begin with 5 Hints (magnifying glass). You’ll find additional Hints throughout the game. There are a total of 29 Hints.
Puzzles and Minigames in the Rooms (the Cards) can be skipped. It takes 120 seconds (2 minutes) for the Skip button to charge.
Item List, Shape and Hexagon searches can NOT be skipped. Use a Hint if you’re stuck.
Gameplay consists of Item List searches, Item Shape searches, Matching Hexagon searches, Multiple Item searches, Jigsaw Puzzles, Switch Image Puzzles, Sliding Column and Row Puzzles and various Tasks.
You’ll collect needed items from the Raven, Edgar Allen Crow, and as you complete tasks.
New tasks are indicated by small Sparkling Stars. Remaining tasks, inventory items and unvisited areas are indicated by large Sparkling Stars.
While gameplay is non-linear (you can go where you want, when you want), the game and story are linear. You will be playing several areas at the same time. The game consists of 10 Victims whose souls you need to “release.” You will need to work on more than one victim at a time, in addition to completing various other tasks (Dr. Fraud’s Office, Atrium, Antechambers, etc.) to collect needed items.
During gameplay, your inventory (lower right) will change depending on the task. In Multiple Item searches it will change to a counter (it will count down how many remaining items you need to find). In other areas it will show your accumulated Inventory.

Game Tips

If your computer is older (RAM and graphics card), you may want to choose Low for Visual Quality and turn the Custom Cursor off. It may help speed up gameplay; however you won’t get the Skeleton Hand, Magnifying Glass and directional Arrow icons.
Be prepared to be startled, occasionally, both visually and aurally.
You may complete any section, in any order you choose, although some areas/items aren’t available until you complete certain tasks.
Use the Map to travel quickly to each location, rather than clicking forward and back, as the game tells you.
Be sure to revisit the transitional/additional areas (Atrium, Atrium West and East, Victim area Courtyards, Antechambers, etc.) from time to time, to collect items the Raven has waiting for you and perform other tasks. If you forget, you won’t be able to progress in certain areas.
The Jigsaw Puzzles in this game are traditional jigsaw puzzles and they get progressively larger (more pieces) as you continue in the game. I recommend sorting the pieces (4 corners, each of 4 sides, light and dark center pieces), then attacking the puzzle by placing the corner pieces first, edges pieces next and center pieces last.
For the Sliding Columns/Rows Puzzles, you may find it easier if you concentrate on one direction (vertical or horizontal) at a time. Do one, then the other.
For the Switch Images Puzzles, you may find it easier to locate and place all the border pieces first. They all have pulsing, color-changing borders to make them easy to identify.
The images in the Hexagon Puzzles morph every 5 seconds, however the location of the hexagon doesn’t change.
