Played 40 minutes casual, I see that we can't mention the name of the devs so I'll just say they're new to me.
-3 game play modes, casual, advanced, hard, you can swap from one to another while playing
- Integrated SG top left of your screen, it stays on the page you leave. It only shows 2 chapters
- Voice-overs, music OK
- Note book
- No map
- Hint is an owl, less than a minute to refill, not too useful outside H0, at least tells you there's nothing to do where you are
- Skip button
- HO, a lot of them, you don't interact. Some of them are pretty dark and objects are not easy to spot.
- Mini games not over difficult (only had one in 40 minutes)
- Very good graphics

Long time I hadn't seen a car stopped by a ghost !! Same old story of a ghost (?) cursing a family. The game looks easy to play, enjoyable. A buy.
I recommend this game!

Played 30 minutes of the game and after reading the other really bad reviews, I started to wonder if it had been worth downloading.
In fact I'm sure quite a lot of fishies will enjoy it.
Only one game play mode.
Hint refills quickly.
You have to find a lot of objects, either in H0 or all over rooms (silhouettes).
You can move to either side of the room to see more. Items are sometimes difficult to spot, looking like the background.
Graphics are pretty good.
Annoying thing, texts keep appearing if you make a wrong click.
An enjoyable game for straight H0G lovers, well worth a punch card credit. If you were expecting something better, re read Jane Austin's book..... ;)

Definitely not keen on SF (though I was glad that even in an advanced civilization you still needed sticky tape and tweezers...) so this game is not a buy for me.And I found the game really easy, but I'm sure a lot of fishies will enjoy it.
I recommend this game!

- Hint button useful outside H0
- Skip button
- Good mini games not too difficult (nothing very new though)

Interesting story, it's a shame that the game is so dark, went to options but couldn't do a thing about it. Not over difficult up to what I've played. Most probably a buy, the dark scenes (I mean the color) make me hesitate a bit, quite tiring for the eyes. Good game.
I recommend this game!
