So yeah it’s an awesome game, the dialogues, the story, the characters, the gameplay, the music are all awesome however I do not recommend it as it should be updated to newer OS or something.
Difficulty

70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I played hard difficulty and found it a comfortable level, there was one puzzle I needed a guide for and thankfully it has one on the Steam Guides page.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is beautiful because the puzzles are smart yet most aren't too hard, its mechanics can make you think outside the box and well to be honest it kind of plays like a ♥♥♥♥ post of itself.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
These elements work hand in hand with an evocative soundtrack and sound design that enhance the feeling of tension and foreboding, essential to maintaining the narrative’s mood.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals, while not ultra-modern, are meticulously crafted to reflect the Victorian era and the wild, untamed nature of the moors.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's quite a good balance of HO scenes, minigames and inventory puzzles.
