I think if you enjoy the horror movies of the eighties you will enjoy this game. It has a few hard sequences in the boss fights but no puzzle is so hard that you want to stop playing. There is a higher level of strategy in this game in that you have greater range of abilities as a player if you keep all the students alive through intelligent play. Each character has their unique strengths and you have to figure out which is the best character to play as for any given challenge. Kind of a fun plot and the thrill of abandoned buildings. If you are interested in games that feature characters more than puzzles and you like the school setting, this is the game for you. I wasn't disappointed and I've been gaming for over 16 years. But do remember the cheese factor.
