One of my father’s stories was my favorite: “Once upon a time there lived a merchant with his wife. The family was happy and had never known grief. However, their maid, Julianne, was jealous of the little family's happiness and secretly dreamed of taking the place of a beloved wife. She learned of unholy powers hidden deep within the manor that could be summoned by a ritual … although there was a cost. She cursed the merchant's wife, unleashed deadly powers. The merchant vows to devote the rest of his life to finding a way to release his beloved wife from her cursed world.” Years have passed. My father dies, but he leaves me a message: “Your favorite fairy tale was the true story of our family. I tried to free your mother's spirit, but I failed. I beg you to finish what I could not. The solution is waiting in our old family home.” As a son, I must “write” the happy ending for my family’s story.

Great story , Interesting Game..love the Artwork and Music is ok too lots going on . Cheaper than Fox , Big fish, Artifex Mundi , etc but very similar and of Equal Quality. Nice Smooth gameplay. Good map makes for easy travelling . Some lovely Creepy (but not really scary) touches that I will not spoil for you.Puzzle Games were good..not too easy or hard …however….. …Cons. Not as many Puzzle Games as I would like but that is a personal preference ..this is more of a find it & find where to use it sort of approach …though in its favour there were often many strange objects in the Directory that had no obvious use for a while…giving the player time to speculate…Next move not always obvious so had to use hints quite as bit . Although the story is very good ..I did not care much about the Characters ..perhaps because they do not appear often or for long … Verdict.I have played Many games of this Genre perhaps this explains why it is not a huge WOW game for me but Over all A good solid Enjoyable game Game with some interesting storyline ..it would be a bit short without the Extra Gameplay . Worth the price I paid ..I look forward the playing Devs Next Game ### 4/5 — Beautiful *2024-02-18, version 1.1.0* Beautiful but creepy graphics. Smooth playing. It’s challenging but not impossible.
