This is a HO game that has a very well-thought-out storyline. Artwork was excellent - with quite realistic graphic visuals (even though I usually prefer the fantasy hand-painted look).
It had a nice balance between the number of HO scenes and the usual point-and-click inventory tasks. The music was sparse but still very good. (leaving room for the atmospheric sound FX and 'lonely' feel of the game, I guess).
This game is very similar in feel and style to 'Abandoned: Chestnut Lodge Asylum'. Anyone who likes one of these games will surely like the other. Well worth playing!
I recommend this game!

This game appealed to me in the screenshots because all the scenes are hand-drawn. In my opinion, the art style is like the kind you'd find in a teenager's school books. That's not a bad thing though. It definitely has a charm to it. The semi-manga style is something different to most HO games.
This is for those who really like a challenge with the objects. Some of them were quite difficult to find. I usually try to avoid the 'hint' button, but with this game I used it many times.
It's worth a try, I reckon.
I recommend this game!

....one fatal flaw!

I really wanted to like this game more. It had a decent story and music. The anime character art was a nice departure from most HO games. BUT... there was one fatal flaw!!!
The graphics in the HO scenes were in many places grainy and jagged (low-resolution). At first I thought it could have been my monitor, but quickly saw that the cut-scenes and other art was fine. The bad resolution is only during the HO scenes and to make it worse - often the hidden objects themselves were low-res and hard to identify.
Without this flaw, the game would have been quite brilliant. Everything else in the game was fine. I am feeling kind, so I still recommended this game. I played it through completely, but probably won't again. I guess it was worth playing once.
I recommend this game!

The art in this is first class. Soundtrack music is also important to me... it was ok, but I feel like I've heard the music before - in some other game.
Anyways, I liked the story and concept of this game - the villain and player having to paint objects into existence.

There are two types of HO scenes, firstly the type where you find things, but also the ones where you have to place the objects. I am the kind of player who likes many HO scenes and the biggest criticism I have of most games is that there aren't enough of them.
Too much point-and-click/inventory stuff, you see. A few more HO puzzles and this game would have been one of my absolute faves.

I finished this one recently, even though I bought it years ago from a store (CD-ROM!)....so yeah, it's been sitting there for a while. I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was.
I guess it's just in a genre of HO games I prefer... y' know? the older style ones with colonial style buildings, creepy and dark but without too much of the fantasy element....
The graphics and music give this game a real 'atmosphere' that I like.

Many reviewers have been too harsh in criticising this game. They all say something like:
"I don't like the way the clutter re-mixes every 10 seconds."
"I don't like the way the clutter re-mixes every 10 seconds."
The fact is, that changes after the first ten levels. You just have to give it a chance. From level 2.1 things change. Each set of levels has a change in game play just to mix things up. Clearly many people who tried this game didn't give it enough time.
True, this game is probably better for younger kids, but I still became fairly addicted to it.
It even took me a while to realize that the clutter is not fixed in position.... you can drag pieces out of the way.
.... a decent game if you give it the chance.

This game is up there with the best HO games I've played. It is unfortunately only the first of 2 parts....
The music, graphics and gameplay are all excellent. The game rewards 'room' is also a very nice touch. It shows you all the trinkets and cards you have collected through the game.
Alas, if they haven't done the second part after all these years, they probably aren't going to....
I will still play this more than once. It's worth it.

The puzzles start off fairly easy, but it gets harder. Towards the end there are some fairly difficult ones.
I love the music and visual style of this game.

I heard about the Mystery Case File series and I had to try them. I also wanted to do them in order, since they have a longer story arc to the series, with returning characters.
I love the old-world era graphic style, music and characters. This is great work!
Huntsville is the first in the series and I'll be (gradually) doing all of them.
