Clue problems
These games have one problem with their clues, threaded out the whole series. The clue they give you is usually to tell you to do something. They assume you’ve already found not knowing if you’ve actually found it.
Im not a puzzle genius and this is perfect
Hard enough to make me think and work out things but not so hard that I have to constantly get hints. All of the Midnight games are really good, well made and fun. Because I get to actually play. I like the hints system because I get lost as to where to go next. The hints telling you to go to a scene are just right for helping me know there’s something can do there. Then, I solve the actual puzzle myself.

Ok for a quick game
I brought the bundle , ok if you want a quick game to play but it doesn’t take long to complete the games. I only brought this bundle last night and I’m already 3/6 complete.
Ok but not great....
I've played several games from this company... My top favorites are Long Journey and Haunted Hollow 2. The atmosphere of the above mentioned, made them worth every bit of money/time spent with them.
This game is more like a mix between the "magic school bus" and "homescapes"... I mean I don't want to offend anyone but yes, that's the feeling. There was a part I found quite irritating... The leaves. Yes... Those you have to use the rake on? The wrench is visible, but you can't point at it... no game comment. The pile of leaves - pointing at them would take me to the previous scene. Yet when I was "stuck" I was told to rake "the piles of leaves" with the rake. I thought "the piles of leaves that take me to the previous scene when I press on them?"... Yes, but... The wrench is not even necessary to finish the game... Way to go, it's an "Easter Egg"... If you guys meant it as an Easter Egg, you shouldn't give it away as a clue. Really. I found strange things like that in most of the games that didn't seem to have an explanation... But whatever... If the clue wasn't given by the hint system, I would've finished the game with an extra rake in my inventory (and I would've looked for a use for it myself thank you)! Now time to find what that wrench is for 🤔

The End Clock Setting???
Not sure I agree with the logic behind clock puzzle at the end. Other than that this game was fun.
Some suggestions...
Going forward, how about not automatically adding the clues into the book? I mean, what’s the point of a clue if you tell the user it’s a clue? Should be more subtle. Look at Facility 47.
When comparing this game to others like the Glitch Games’ escape games, it seems very one-dimensional. There isn’t much layering of clues and puzzles.
Anyway- keep making them, I will still play!
