### 5/5 — Magnifico

*2026-06-09, version 1.0.0*

Es largo, buenos gráficos

### 5/5 — Love the longer games

*2023-01-11, version 1.0.0*

This was challenging yet linear. You definitely get what you pay for. Great long story (short bonus chapter but that is fine). Really made you use your head.

### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2022-06-13, version 1.0.0*

Just played this again after few yrs and really love the game! Reminds me of MCF Ravenhurst-creepy but very interesting!
Wish more games were like this☺️

### 4/5 — Very nice game

*2021-05-31, version 1.0.0*

It’s a little bit different than is usual from big fish, good story and not to hard

### 2/5 — Dreadful dull game

*2021-05-10, version 1.0.0*

Crikey what a waste of money. Very dark graphics making it almost impossible to make things out in virtually every scene. The gameplay such as it is makes no sense whatsoever. I had to resort to using the hint button virtually the whole game. Very, very poor.

### 3/5 — Bug dans chapitre bonus

*2021-04-16, version 1.0.0*

Impossible de remplir la cruche en argile dans la salle du banquet et donc impossible de continuer !

### 4/5 — Dark

*2021-04-15, version 1.0.0*

I would have given the game 5 stars if it had been literally and figuratively lighter.  It is hard on the eyes when trying to identify either hidden objects or just items in a scene when everything is visually dark.  My personal preference is for more light-hearted games, but I enjoy a game with a good selection of HOGs and puzzles.

### 3/5 — Couldn't wait to get through it

*2021-04-12, version 1.0.0*

The story was boring and the graphics were only so so. Too dark to. I basically kept hitting the hint and skip buttons because there was nothing intuitive about the hidden objects or puzzles.

### 1/5 — Sans intérêt

*2021-04-05, version 1.0.0*

Images trop sombres et histoire inintéressante. Je n’achèterai pas après l’essai.

### 2/5 — Loch

*2021-04-03, version 1.0.0*

I’m not sure why exactly, but this game isn’t appealing to me. I didn’t care for the story, the graphics, the sets and it didn’t seem to flow all that well.
Maybe a little too dark for my taste. Not enjoying it.
