The residents of Bitterford, Maine have fallen prey to a terrible curse. It’s up to you to unravel the series of mysterious events that led to the town’s downfall and uncover the evil that was responsible.
This game is years old but I picked it up for the "Catch of the Day" sale, and I HAD to write a review. This game is very good, but I didn't buy it when it was first available because the initial reviews were murderous. Seriously, those reviews likely killed all chances of it taking off as fabulously as it may have otherwise. * Cool spooky and realistic atmosphere. * Appropriate and beautiful music. * Detailed story-line that kept my attention. And despite my not being a fan of the main actress used, I quickly got over how "over-acted" her style was and got quite into her quirky vibe and looked forward to every dialogue with her. My only complaint is that it is not challenging at all. But it still comes across like a fun interactive movie experience melded with a game.

Never have I felt a game deserved full marks... until this one. Graphics are so well done and life-like that I feel I could reach out and actually feel the cold wetness of water in a bucket, or grasp a solid door handle. HOS scenes are challenging enough to keep me paying attention to all the details, but not so full that it becomes tedious, and they switch it up a lot with it not always being just a list of words. The storyline and how its told, has my full interest, so I'm not skipping through dialogue, and it makes for a very deep interaction. LOVE the coins and chests! Finally there are special items to search for in each room, as extras, that aren't just for collecting trophies in an achievement room -- the coins are necessary to game play. Could go on and on, but will just say that this game has raised the bar for HOS adventures!
I recommend this game!
