I discovered this game in the early 00's when i was just a kid. I liked it so much that it even encouraged me to download Adventure Game Studio, the game engine in which this game was developed. The engine was slowly making it's way into the adventure gamers community, and that's way before Wadjet Eyes took the engine to a whole new level, being a part in what many calls the resurrection of Adventure Games. Of course i never got to make any game with the engine at that time, i was just a little kid.
Leaving my story aside, this is a really nice and pleasant videogame. The story can be linked to
Luis Buñuel's "The Exterminating Angel", a movie where a group of people is trapped inside a house, with no way of escaping, and no real logical explanation about why they're trapped there, making the whole thing pretty absurdist on purpose. Pretty much an experiment in storytelling. This game takes that premise and add a few horror film tropes to the mix.
The game is pretty short. You can finish it in probably a couple hours. Dialogue can be a little naive, but it's no big deal. Graphics are simple but still nice. Music is excelent. Puzzles are pretty easy and rewarding.
