Today is a very special "birth"day for me — the day that I played my first game from this developer. And what a strange gift it was — one full of intriguing mystery, clever puzzles, and shocking surprises along the way.
This mini psychological thriller kept me in a constant state of curiosity and trepidation. As the suspenseful moments unfolded, I was startled two times, causing my body to shudder in fear — something that never happened until now. Is the shadowy figure staring at me from off in the distance a real person, or just a figment of my imagination?
The cartoonish graphics complemented the quirky characters, and, in my opinion, the artistic design was a smart decision by the developer to somewhat abate the gruesomely portrayed graphic violence.
The items were intelligently hidden, persuading me to think outside-the-box on how and where to use them. I especially liked applying rarely used techniques, such as drawing. The level of challenge was difficult enough to give experienced players a decent brain workout.
This was a great way to knock off an hour or so, especially when offered at no cost. I consider myself a very good "escape artist." But I must admit that I was forced to overcome my stubbornness and resort to the walkthrough, and I wasn't happy about it. I am very happy, though, that more games from this developer await me.
