Not horror, merely a macabre point-and-click, and a short one at that. 0.7hours to beat. (the other hours were spent idling for cards). Not worth $7. Probably $2 or less.

The good: A fair point-and-click for a genre newbie, and won't tease you or pressure you into solving things within a limited amount of time or penalty of death. If you have this on your backlog, the short length means it'll be a cinch to beat in one sitting.

The bad: Both voice actresses sound like they're acting. Reading the journal notes left throughout the map is not required at all (really makes you think, why in the hell did someone lose all those pages in all those places of the mansion?).

Anyway, if you're stuck, googling a walkthrough tells you all you need to know since this game is pretty linear otherwise. All in all, a good concept with horrible execution, and practically no intent on deviating, trying things new or introducing a twist. Still recommend though, since it's not an awful game.
