Save your money
As many others have said, quick time ‘life or death’ action events and pixel hunting reduce the fun of this game. As this has been well covered in other reviews, I’ll discuss some other things: I’ve never felt that sound/music ruined a point and click adventure before, but something that really got to me was the constant headache inducing chaotic ‘urgent action’ music which felt completely out of place most of the time (surely something that conjures up suspense and mystery or even some silence would be better). Also the voice acting is obnoxious and awful (appears to be Americans doing British impersonations worthy of an episode of Family Guy, but then dipping back into American accents now and then. For both sound and music the audio quality was awful with the pitch changing suddenly and odd words/sounds being ear piercingly loud and there was almost a static/interference like effect for most of the game which I don’t think was deliberate. The cut-scenes ran as if I was using my old computer from the 90s, lots of juddering and skipping/freezing of frames (and for years I assumed games ran terribly because I had a slow/old PC as a kid, but perhaps this is just poorly optimised). Not a deal breaker but it shattered the little bit of immersion that was left. I don’t expect hand holding, but there are no objectives or reasons for a lot of the things you do (you assume you need to get into a room because it’s locked, not because you/the character are aware of a need). The story telling is bad and at times might as well have been a series of unrelated escape room games in a mobile app. Between the points mentioned above, you won’t get a suspenseful Lovecraftian adventure out of this, it’s devoid of atmosphere and fun. I got it for about £1.19 on sale and still left feeling like it was a waste of time and money.
