Decent spooks...
Well, I did certainly like playing this, it has a good atmosphere and some good scare. However, the game feels like it does pull its punches. By which I mean, it isn't very hard. The scary ghost that chases you is only ever part of a setpiece- meaning, while you just walk around trying to figure out what to do, you can ignore the hide-closets. They're only used when you trigger a scare event, and then they protect you basically without fail, causing the pursing monster to disappear until next time. Puzzles are likewise not too tough especially as you get help with them, but there's a few where you might beat yourself up forever because you can easily miss puzzle items some time. The only hard part is the "final boss" which is a giant pain to deal with. Just so much, it isn't a straight up fight - the game has no combat. And lastly - It is waaay short, no replayability, no alternate endings, no choices. You don't get a lot of bang for your buck as it stands. Even the "collectables" should be all easy to find the first time around, if there's even an option to miss them. I'm sure certain letters must be picked up to enable progress. So, while I did like it, the price certainly needs to be cut down a lot.
