Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
74 of 239 sampled reviews raised it
I was surprised at how engaging this storyline is, especially for a scripted, and hidden-object puzzler, which don't often hold my interest for long; I played through the basic story in ~under 7 hours or so.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 239 sampled reviews raised it
Because I just don't know if I should give this game a praise for the sometimes marvelous graphics and Sound.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
34 of 239 sampled reviews raised it
The game also supports different difficulty settings and offers lots of hours of gameplay, has a great hint and recharge system, lots of different locations (more than 30) and lots of puzzles, among of course the usual hidden object adventure, so that you'll have to collect items, store them or combine into your inventory in order to proceed and so on, as a point 'n' cick game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
26 of 239 sampled reviews raised it
No build up, no warning; just bam, creepy imagery and delightfully terrifyinig sound effects.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 239 sampled reviews raised it
As someone with a friend named Melissa with a last name beginning with K, I felt like I absolutely needed to try this game and had a fun time playing through on the easiest difficulty.
