I am a horror buff so I was looking for something along the line. I bought the sequel and thought before I played it I should play the first game. I saw the low reviews but I like low reviewed horror movies so I thought I would give it a go. Someone said that there was no warning that there was child abuse but before I bought it there is a warning stating the game is for mature audiences. I understood this and still got it, not expecting what will actually show up since I didn't read the reviews, I just looked at the star ratings.
Off the bat, yes it is repetitive. You do hidden object, match tiles, and silhouette hidden object. Basically in that order. There is also one mini game which is pretty easy. I didn't mind any of that. It was different that other HO games I have played and I liked it. The tiles match was harder than the hidden objects, which is fine. Frankly, it reminded me of when I watched Psych, those fine details matter.
The only issue I had was full screen cut off the top a bit so I had to switch it out but without full screen sometimes I couldn't see everything I was supposed to find well. That could, and probably is, just be my computer.
Now I felt all the stories/chapters were all really predictable except for one or two, but that is alright because I was playing it for the story and not the shock of the ending. I felt for the main character and her family the entire time. I played casual, about 2-2.5 hours, but you can also play timed and it will probably go a lot quicker. Honestly, if you are not sure you will like this game just play the demo. I went all in and I liked it, but I also have a stronger tolerance for horror and terrible scenarios. Was it scary, no. Did bad/terrible things happen, yes. As I played on I saw the ghosts and thought, "Huh, their noses look like a pug's nose". Then it was funny for a little bit. As for the child abuse that another reviewer wrote about, it is not hardcore or anything like that. If you ever watched shows about haunted hospitals and asylums where they housed children I can tell you this game is not even close in comparison. The game talks about it once or twice and after a while I forgot about it because I was wrapped up in what Rose was doing, how she was feeling, and the other characters in the story.
So get it, don't get it, I say try the demo. :)
I recommend this game!
