I really enjoyed this game. It's a Myst-like but you can pick up items...similar to Lighthouse. Set in Wales, it’s a decent supernatural mystery with a nice solemn atmosphere that approaches creepy. While the gameplay is a little janky, you can move around fast and I found a lot of the puzzles to be very satisfying. The puzzles come from finding/remembering items and locations, as well as gathering information; there are no 7th Guest style puzzles here. The supernatural nature of the game also means that the puzzles have a nice esoteric logic to them that never feels silly. The UI can get finicky when you’re mousing around for clues but is perfectly serviceable. Your cursor changes to indicate travel, pickupables and a gear icon for things you need to use an item on. It should be noted that you can click on items but not pick them up until you know you need them. While this can help focus your objective, you might want to keep notes on what you find. On the plus side, it does mean that new interactions don’t just appear randomly. From the start you know what you are eventually going to have to use in the game. Other than that, there’s a nice fast travel feature in the map which really cuts down on the frustration of running around and a notes section where the game keeps you apprised as to what you’re looking for. There was only one part where I was bogged down by a pixel hunt, the rest was logic and memory based (and noting that you can combine items). I found this game very endearing between the atmosphere and the puzzles. I definitely recommend giving it a go as long as you enjoy item hunts and are not looking for puzzle set pieces (i.e. 7 th Guest style).
