Mixed Feelings

I hate to be the guy that brings down the rating on a game like this, but I have to be honest with my experience. I thought the developers did an excellent job replicating the feel of early SCUMMVM games, but I thought this entry was a bit too similar to Maniac Mansion. I really don't mind it when a game pays tribute to classic games from the past, but I found that this was a bit too close to it's source material. To be honest, I thought this was a far less interesting version of Maniac Mansion with not much to offer on it's own in terms of originality. All it made me want to do was quit the game and just play the classics.

A good adventure game

This game is very similar to Maniac Mansion, so if you enjoyed it, I'm sure you'll love it too. The game consists in three characters, who have to enter a castle to kill a vampire and other creatures. Every character has their own abilities. The gameplay and sound are good, but there could be more colors.

A masterpiece!!!!

I vividly remember discovering Maniac Mansion at the age of 11 on my Commodore 64. It was a revelation that left a lasting mark on my adolescence. Despite all the other incredible titles from LucasArts, this one will always hold the top spot in my heart. For years, I’ve dreamed of a sequel in the same style, with a manor, secret passages, humor, and horror. While browsing GOG for a good point-and-click adventure, I stumbled upon «The Castle» by chance. This game is a masterpiece! I can’t find the words to express how much I enjoyed this game. It’s everything I love about an adventure game all wrapped into one. The Castle is both incredible and superb. The puzzles are brilliant, the retro art is sublime, and the writing is extraordinary. The alternate endings are fantastic. I can’t believe just one person created this game. I haven’t felt this happy playing a game in years. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you immensely.
