“Very enjoyable adventure in the style of a gothic horror novel (with some eldritch horror added for flavor). I would have appreciated if the game had hotspot highlighting, but the hotspot areas are sufficiently large to…”
“A great, victorian mystery. I was stumped a few times with puzzles, but once i figured out the momentum it was great. Highly recommend it!”

The missing voice acting is not a problem, you should read it more like a book and…”
